Chapter 599 Not so innocen (2/2)

”Hurr… Pretty… Hurr… Pretty ugly.”

”…”

Hearing his words, Ning Mei was struck dumbfounded. Her entire being tremble with anger and she glares at the man with tightly curled fists.

She knows that there are many people who talk about her behind her back, but never has anyone dare to call her ugly to her face.

”Hui, that's enough.”

From the door, the other man wearing a phantom mask interrupts the atmosphere. He casually place his hands inside the pockets of his pants and stares in the direction of Nie Chen.

”Stop wasting time. We all know she is as repulsive as her sins.”

Ning Mei's shoulder jumped at the man's voice.

Unlike the other two, this one sounded colder and full of loath towards her. He frightened her so much, that the anger inside her disperse into thin air. Even the feeling of relief that was slowly surfacing inside her was overcome with fear again.

She didn't dare to turn around to look at the man and stares with trembling eyes at Nie Chen.

”P-Please help me. I haven't done anything wrong. I'm innocent in all this. Please.”

Hearing her words, Lin Hui scoffs in disgust. He doesn't say anything to her and walks back to sit on the chair. However, unlike the man, Nie Chen crouch down in front of the woman.

A soft smile curls on his lip and he reach a hand towards Ning Mei to caress her cheek.

”Aiya, indeed you didn't do anything.”

His voice was very calm and that of a true gentleman. He wipes away her tears with his thumb and his smile widens more.

”It's just that, you are the one who set the deals. So that makes you not so innocent.”

Ning Mei had been in a panic state about being kidnapped that she had forgotten all about the deals she had made to kill Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er. However, when she heard Nie Chen's words, everything came flooding back inside her like grey clouds engulfing the clear blue sky.

”W… Why…”

She was confused as to why Nie Chen would say such thing to her. Wasn't he supposed to help her?

Seeing the look of pure terror and confusion in her eyes, Nie Chen softly chuckles and he lightly pats the side of her cheek with his palm.

”You see, you shouldn't have asked for something you cannot have.”

He retracts his hand and stood up.

”The person you want me to kill is someone I can never kill.”

As his words fell, he looks in the direction of the door and he kept his smile. It was a smile that held genuine warmth and respect for someone he looks up to and holds dearly in his heart.

Ning Mei was left speechless with her mouth open agape. She didn't need to ask any questions as she understood very well what his words meant.

She had asked him to kill Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er, but he is now telling her that one of them is someone he knows and cannot do as she had asked. Even if someone were to give him the world, he would never do it.

However, the only question she can ask herself is, who?

Afraid, but more curious, she slowly turns her head to look in the same direction as Nie Chen.

When she saw the person, all the hair on the back of her neck stood up and her eyes shook.

”Y-You…”
