C33 (1/2)

Nangong Lin didn't say a word as he quietly helped Yan Xiaoxi remove the large net from her body. There was a hint of purple on her white arm. It must have been the bruises from when she had struggled with too much strength.

Yan Xiaoxi raised her head and saw Nangong Lin's ice-cold face. This expression was something that only he would feel when he was angry.

She had also anticipated that Nangong Lin would definitely be angry at her this time around.

He had also made the preparations to be scolded. As long as Nangong Lin knew about it, he would be able to confiscate a hundred plates of Green Bean Cake from her.

However, the current Nangong Lin did not say a single word. Not only did he not scold her, he even ignored her. This action of his caused Yan Xiaoxi to feel even more afraid.

In the future, wouldn't Little Linlin ignore him?

”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiaoxi called out.

When Nangong Lin heard this, he intentionally ignored her and instead walked away, leaving Yan Xiaoxi behind.

Yan Xiaoxi followed behind Nangong Lin. She lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly.

”Little Lin Lin, say something.” Yan Xiaoxi shouted out from behind Nangong Lin.

”Damn woman, do you want everyone in the palace to hear her?” Nangong Lin turned his head and criticized Yan Xiaoxi.

Seeing that Nangong Lin was finally willing to take care of her, Yan Xiaoxi was in a great mood. She ran up and grabbed onto Nangong Lin's arm as she complained, ”Who asked you to ignore me?”

Nangong Lin was at a loss for words. He helplessly looked at Yan Xiaoxi and brought her back to his room.

Closing the door, the two once again fell into silence.

Yan Xiaoxi kept chattering away in Nangong Lin's ear, but Nangong Lin remained silent as he laid on the bed. It was as if he had made up his mind and would never speak to Yan Xiaoxi.

”Little Lin Lin, I know I was wrong, in the future I will listen to you okay?” His master had said that one must know when to advance and when to retreat.

If Little Linlin still continued to be angry, what would happen if he didn't give her anything to eat?

If Nangong Lin knew that everything that Yan Xiaoxi had done was for the sake of eating, even if he lost his anger, he would still be angry at once.

Nangong Lin continued to sleep, ignoring the flattering Yan Xiaoxi beside him.

”I'll take the initiative to claim my punishment. I don't want those hundred plates of green bean cake, and I'll even send you a secret.” Seeing that Nangong Lin was indifferent, Yan Xiaoxi immediately started discussing the conditions.

Secret?

When he heard these two words, Nangong Lin finally had a reaction. He knew that this woman must have found out about something to be able to obtain such a victory.

”Speak.”

Yan Xiaoxi finally managed to hear a word from Nangong Lin. At this moment, her eyes were brimming with tears, as if she was moved by her own sincerity.

Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi and witnessed this scene. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she bit her delicate red lips. Her slender fingers were intertwined together as if she would burst into tears at any moment.

This time, Nangong Lin couldn't help but reflect on whether he had gone too far and frightened her.

However, she had been indulging herself too much before, which was why she was being so reckless time and time again.

Nangong Lin was just about to console Yan Xiaoxi and return her 100 plates of green bean cake, but who knew that in the next second, Yan Xiaoxi's expression immediately changed. The tears on her face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

Nangong Lin was extremely astonished by all of this. He immediately felt that there was nothing else that could compare to the speed at which Yan Xiaoxi's emotions were changing.

”Little Lin Lin, I accidentally overheard a shocking secret.” Yan Xiaoxi proudly looked at Nangong Lin.

Nangong Lin frowned and continued to ask, ”What did you hear?”

After that, Yan Xiaoxi told Nangong Zhen about the conversation between Nangong Zhen and the man in black. When Nangong Lin heard this, he only asked a single question, ”Is there nothing else?”
