Chapter 66 Part 2 — (1/2)
”If it wasn't because of the Huo Yi Gra.s.s, you wouldn't have came to Nanling with me right?”
The little fox looked up at Nan Gongyin, her eyes were full of guilt. Yes, if it wasn't because of the Huo Yi Gra.s.s, she wouldn't have followed Nan Gongyin to Nanling. Their encounter on the road was only something meticulously planned by Wan Siyu.
That was the truth, and she didn't want to continue to lie to Nan Gongyin.
This man treated her so well, how could she continue to lie to him? If she did… she wasn't a person anymore.
Nan Gongyin saw the little fox nod, and his eyes flashed. Should he praise the little fox for being honest? Or say that it was stupid?
If the little fox shook its head, he would have believed it.
But the truth was cruel.
The little fox lowered her head and laid in Nan Gongyin's arms. She was like a child that did something wrong, waiting for her punishment.
When Nan Gongyin saw her acting like that, how could he bear to blame her?
Nan Gongyin sucked in a breath, and slowly said, ”There are only three days left until you become human. Feng Lingran is also staying for three days. Little fox, you don't have to rush to leave with Feng Lingran, it is not too late to wait for you to become human first.”
He paused, before continuing, ”There is a reason why Feng Lingran don't like women, if you become one…” He stopped again, failing to finish his sentence.
Xiao Xi's ears moved, Feng Lingran didn't like women, she knew that, but the reason? She didn't know… Looking at the worry in Nan Gongyin's eyes, she felt unease.
Could Nan Gongyin mean… that when she becomes human, Feng Lingran wouldn't like her?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Xi's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. But… she couldn't be a fox forever just because of Feng Lingran's preferences, she was human ah! She didn't want her life to be controlled by others, she wants to be in charge of her own future.
Forget it, just wait till she turns human! If Feng Lingran was what Nan Gongyin had said, disliking women, she can also not want him. It didn't have to be him, Xiao Xi wasn't a 'would die for a man' type of person anyways.
