Chapter 9 (2/2)

A tear fell from the corner of his eye and landed on her collarbone.

It was hot like his kiss.

Ning Qing trembled as she stared at the man on her and bit her lip until it bled.

Just one more step.

She no longer had the strength. One hand gripped the mattress, and the other fumbled with something until she touched something hard.

Her thoughts could no longer keep up with his movements. She did not care what was in her hand and hit the man’s head.

With a shattering sound, the person on top of her stopped moving.

“…”

Ning Qing breathed heavily. Warm liquid flowed down from her ears and landed on her eyes.

One drop, two drops…

Ning Qing’s eyelashes trembled hard. Through the red mist, she saw what was in her hand.

It was the night light on the bedside table.

Nian Lie only felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. He raised his eyes and before the storm in them could subside, confusion and injuries rushed up. He was instantly aggrieved like a child.

“Ah Ning…”

Ning Qing pushed him away. Looking at the red blood on the bed, she shook her head and stepped back.

Nian Lie collapsed on the bed in a sorry state. However, he still reached out to grab her. He even begged her.

“Don’t go… Ah Ning, don’t…”

Ning Qing’s mind went blank and she took a step back instinctively.

Looking at the man whose face was covered in blood, tears fell.

Then, she turned around and stumbled out.

On the bed, the man was still muttering in pain as his eyelids slowly lowered.

Ning Qing rushed down to the second floor and ran through the hall, rushing out of the manor.

Lu Zhui was smoking by the car. When he saw Ning Qing in such a miserable state, he went forward to stop her. “Young Madam, what’s wrong?”

His hand was pushed away. When he returned to his senses, the woman had already run far away.

He thought of something and his expression changed. He shouted, “Oh no!” and rushed into the manor..
