C93 Spoonful Addiction (1/2)

In the distance, a handsome horse was galloping along the street, passing by Yan Xiaoxi's side. The person on the horse seemed to have something urgent to do, and in the middle of the night, the speed was unimaginably fast.

It was precisely because of this that even though Yan Xiaoxi saw the horse pass by her, she did not see the person on top. She quickened Nangong Zhen's steps as she walked towards the Rain King Manor.

Yan Xiaoxi knew that this time, Nangong Lin would be angry again. Last time, nothing had happened and this time, she had been on the alert. She didn't know how he would punish her.

”Hm.”

The sound of brakes rang out in the silent street. When Yan Xiaoxi paid attention, she discovered that a handsome horse was parked beside her. Sitting on the horse's back was a familiar figure.

In the dark night, with the help of the light of the candle flame, Yan Xiaoxi was able to recognize the person who had arrived.

His tall and mighty body and his carving-like face were firmly imprinted in her mind. They couldn't be ignored or forgotten, because everything about him had long since merged into her blood. They had become one, and he was her, and she was him.

”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiao threw herself into Nangong Lin's arms, inhaling the unique scent of his body.

”Xi Er.” The anger in Nangong Lin's heart was enough to ignite the entire Southern Water Kingdom. On the way here, he had thought of countless methods to punish Yan Xiaoxi. The moment he saw her, it was like a bucket of ice water had been poured over him.

As long as she was safe, nothing else mattered.

Nangong Zhen stood a few steps away, frowning as he looked at the two of them embracing each other. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He wasn't an idiot, of course he could see the love in Yan Xiaoxi's eyes.

One could imagine that he had been played as a playboy and deceived by her completely natural appearance. This was the first time Nangong Zhen felt that this woman, Yan Xiaoxi, was very shrewd.

Back then at the birthday banquet, he had thought so as well. Later on, he found out that the reason why Yan Xiaoxi had stepped forward and unraveled his plans was because of some mishap.

Being listened to by all the court officials in the main hall was a matter of life and death. She appeared calm and collected, and when faced with death, her limitless potential would be stimulated. It wasn't strange for Yan Xiaoxi to look at her in a different light.

She had schemed against him that time because Liu Zhixue had brought harm upon herself and failed to plan carefully enough for Yan Xiaoxi to see through him. Nangong Zhen did not think that Yan Xiaoxi was an intelligent woman, and her performance did not convince him.

Until today, when Nangong was shaken up, Yan Xiaoxi was really pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. For her to be so ever-changing, her disguising abilities were truly able to fool others, causing them to be unable to differentiate whether she was real or fake.

”Is royal brother here as well?” After they embraced, Nangong Lin discovered Nangong Zhen's existence.

”Imperial brother is so lucky.” Nangong Zhen said in a weird tone.

Nangong Lin frowned and asked, ”What do you mean?”

Nangong Zhen didn't reply. He looked at Yan Xiaoxi with a meaningful gaze.

Immediately, Nangong Lin understood that this matter had something to do with Yan Xiaoxi. This woman was truly unable to be at peace for even a moment.

”Princess Hua-Yang is really willful. She barged into the palace late into the night for a bet. Royal father must have believed her this time and treated it as nonsense. I wonder what kind of reason she'll come up with next time.” As Yan Xiaoxi entered the treasury, Nangong Zhen didn't believe her words at all.

”I don't need you to worry about this king's woman. Take care, royal brother.” Nangong Lin made a gesture of invitation.

Nangong Zhen looked at the two of them angrily and left.

The two of them stood on the spot and watched as Nangong Zhen gradually disappeared from their sight. Only after knowing that he had turned into a tiny black dot did they prepare to return to the Royal Mansion.

”Come up.” Nangong Lin pulled Yan Xiaoxi onto the horse.
