His words made Ning Shu's heart melt like a candy painting. She secretly curled her lips and reached out to pick up a flower petal on his shoulder. She said softly, "Then how long have you been here? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiahou Qing used his bamboo cane to test the surroundings. He turned and walked forward. "You were busy playing the hero saving the beauty. How would you dare to disturb me?"
The jealousy in his tone was too obvious. It was so obvious that she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to. Ning Shu hurriedly followed him and looked at him. She reached out and gently poked his arm. "Hey, are you unhappy? You know that he's been in trouble recently. He's not feeling well. I can't sit by and do nothing. "
"Yes, you're his legitimate fiancée. Of course, you can't sit by and do nothing." Xiahou Qing smiled faintly and said coldly, "Then you should go back. Your Tan Shaoqing needs you very much right now."
The way he acted when he was jealous turned out to be so childish, just like a child's. It was completely different from his usual indifferent, distant, and strategy-making attitude. This contrast made Ning Shu snicker. "So the Crown Prince of Nanping is so petty. I only treat him as a brother and a good friend. You know, I don't like him."
Xiahou Qing asked, "Then who do you like?"
Ning Shu blinked. "You don't know?"
Xiahou Qing flatly denied. "I don't know."
Ning Shu was anxious. "How can you not know?"
"If you don't say it, I won't know."
Ning Shu frowned. "Then what about you? You didn't say who you like, right? You treated me like that in front of so many people on the street this afternoon. Do you know that I'll be criticized? " Although her reputation had long been tarnished to the point of being worthless, she still had to use it against Xiahou Qing at this time.
Xiahou Qing stopped in his tracks and turned his face to the side, as if separated by a thick layer of black brocade, seriously and cautiously looked at her. "I won't. Tomorrow, I will have Tianwen announce to the capital that I, Xiahou Qing, admire the Eldest Miss of the Ning Family, Ning Shu. It was one-sided, but you disdained it. At that time, all the infamy will fall on me, and you won't be troubled in the slightest. "
"You — —" In everyone's eyes, he was standing in the clouds, unreachable, but he actually lowered himself to the ground for her. Ning Shu couldn't help but be shaken. Her nose turned sour, and she opened her mouth to say, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You said those words on purpose, including standing under the flowering tree to wait for me. You could have stayed in the carriage, but you chose to stand in a position where I could sense you the moment I came out. You're still seriously injured, but you still insist on standing. And during the day, your face was so pale, but you still came out of the manor to meet me on the street. You wanted to use this method to move me, to make me feel guilty, and to make me unable to refuse you. "
After being exposed, Xiahou Qing's expression turned sluggish. He picked up his pace and walked forward, coldly mocking, "Yes, I did it on purpose. What, do you think I'm scheming, sinister, and despicable? Then you should stay away from me. "
Ning Shu grabbed the back of his hand and forcefully shook her head. She loudly said, "I won't. I'll tell you: I, Ning Shu, have a twisted personality, and I like people like you. The more sinister, the better. I'm also not a good person, so you're a good match for me. "
Xiahou Qing's chest trembled violently. His body tensed up as he suppressed his emotions. He restrained his voice and said, "I'll only give you one chance to go back on your word. You have to think it through. If you go back on your word in the future, I won't give you another chance."
Ning Shu shook her head, her voice unprecedentedly firm, "I used to hesitate, but that day when I was trapped in the underground palace, I thought it through. There are some things that I shouldn't waver. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to benefit from it, I'll be worried and unable to accomplish anything. If I can't grasp what's already at hand, how can I grasp those who are desperately chasing after me? So there's no need to think about it. Instead, you should think about it. My Ning Family's current situation isn't very good. If you get involved with me, you might be in a difficult situation — — "
Before she could finish speaking, her hand was suddenly firmly grasped. A strong force pulled her into his embrace. Her nose was filled with the refreshing and elegant scent of his body. It smelled very good.
Xiahou Qing tightly held her in his embrace, as if he wanted to melt her into his life, melt her into his flesh and blood.
That day in the underground palace, she hugged him to keep him warm and gave him air to save his life. He had actually vaguely heard what she said. He was a half-dead person and shouldn't have disturbed her. But in the end, he couldn't control himself.
He had never been selfish for himself in his life, but this time, he wanted to be selfish for once.
