C28 (1/2)

Yan Xiaoxi did not bother with Nangong Lin and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Unknowingly, Nangong Lin had blocked her path and stood in front of her.

”Are you blaming This King for suspecting you?” Nangong Lin probed as he understood why Yan Xiaoxi was so angry.

”I don't care.” Yan Xiaoxi turned her head and prepared to leave from the other direction.

Nangong Lin strode forward and once again placed himself horizontally in front of Yan Xiaoxi. He asked, ”Did a woman compare me to Bei Bai Xi?”

”Yes.” Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with a dull expression as she answered truthfully.

”Then which one of us do you like the most?”

”Brother Bei.” Yan Xiaoxi blurted out.

That's right, Brother Bei had truly treated her very well and was very considerate and gentle. If it wasn't for the treasure, she wouldn't have come back with Nangong Lin!

Nangong Lin blushed with shame. Presumably, only Yan Xiaoxi alone would dare to say that another man was better than him in front of him.

”Why didn't the woman go with Behring?” Nangong Lin continued asking.

Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips as she thought to herself. She was also thinking about it, but the temptation of the treasure was much greater.

When she found the treasure deposit and went to find Brother Bei, she would leave Nangong Lin and live a blissful life with Bei Bai Xi. How nice would that be!

”I've thought about it as well, isn't little Lin Lin Xi's husband?”

”Xi Er, think about it. You did think about leaving with Bei Bai Xi, but in the end, you chose Ben Wang. This proves that your heart is still with Ben Wang.” Nangong Lin was filled with pride as he said this. It seemed that he still had a certain position in Yan Xiaoxi's heart.

”So what?” Yan Xiaoxi did not believe Nangong Lin's nonsense.

”This King had his doubts towards Xi Er, but in reality, I have always trusted you.” From start to finish, Nangong Lin knew that Liu Zhixue was lying. As long as she was lying, she would intentionally keep her eyes open, not blinking at all.

”Little Lin Lin's heart is with me?”

”Of course.” Yan Xiaoxi finally smiled when she heard the answer. She didn't know why, but her heart was filled with happiness.

However, in the next moment, Yan Xiaoxi's attitude changed as she asked, ”But little Linlin still suspects me.”

Nangong Lin was at a loss for words. He could not help but feel puzzled. Previously, this woman was not that smart and was easily fooled. Why did she become so difficult to deal with now?

But how could he know that to Yan Xiaoxi, when she was happy, she wouldn't care about anything and would always take a step back. If she was angry, she would definitely care about something else.

”A hundred plates of green bean cake.” Immediately, Yan Xiaoxi revealed her true nature.

Only now did Nangong Lin realize that the reason this woman did so many things was because of the green bean cake.

Something that could be solved with food was not a big problem for Nangong Lin. In such a large palace, no matter how much Yan Xiaoxi ate, she would not be able to eat to death.

”Deal.” The two of them clapped their hands to form an alliance, and they smoothly reached an agreement.

Yan Xiaoxi was in a great mood after receiving her meal. All the unhappiness in her mind had long been forgotten.

She suddenly grabbed onto Nangong Lin's arm, a big smile on her face as she said, ”Little Linlin is really great.”

Nangong Lin smiled lightly, lovingly looking at Yan Xiaoxi who had a smile that was like a flower. This woman's smile seemed to have a certain charm to it, causing people to feel happy.

”Since I have fulfilled one of Xi Er's requests, can I also fulfill one of my requests as well?”
