C100 Last Romance (2/2)

Since he didn't want to talk, she wouldn't ask.

”I can't breathe.” Nangong Lin really hugged her so tightly that the force was close enough to suffocate him.

Nangong Lin immediately released Yan Xiaoxi and asked in concern, ”Are you alright?”

Yan Xiaoxi took deep breaths as she met Nangong Lin's worried gaze. She shook her head and said, ”I'm fine.”

”Xi Er, no matter what happens, you have to trust me.” Nangong Lin said seriously.

Yan Xiaoxi stretched out her head as she sized up Nangong Lin with a puzzled gaze. This was the first time she saw him so serious with a strange expression on his face. She had a feeling that something was going to happen next.

”Alright.” Yan Xiaoxi agreed.

She felt that there was nothing in this world that could separate her from Nangong Lin.

”You have to trust me.” Nangong Lin reiterated.

”Right.” Yan Xiaoxi continued to nod her head.

Fireflies circled the two of them. With the help of the moonlight's power, their bodies emitted a faint green light. From a distance, it looked like they had been imbued with an immortal technique, making this place look extremely mystical.

”I'm tired.” After riding on horseback for the entire day, Yan Xiaoxi was already tired.

Recently, she felt that her body was not as healthy as it used to be. She had always wanted to sleep, and besides eating, all she wanted was to sleep.

”Let's go back.” Nangong Lin picked up Yan Xiaoxi and carried her to her room.

Yan Xiaoxi did not refuse and enjoyed Nangong Lin's kindness towards her. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck and fall into a deep sleep in his familiar embrace.

Nangong Lin lowered his gaze and a trace of sadness flashed through his deep eyes. He could not predict what would happen next.

To protect her, he had no choice.

When they arrived at their room, Nangong Lin gently placed Yan Xiaoxi on the bed. He took off her shoes and socks and covered her with a blanket while he laid beside her.

That night, Yan Xiaoxi slept very well because she was tired. On the contrary, Nangong Lin didn't sleep at all that night because he was too preoccupied with his own matters.

The sky gradually turned white. It was a new day.

After eating breakfast, Nangong Lin brought Yan Xiaoxi back to the palace.

The moment they reached the door, they saw the butler waiting at the door.

Nangong Lin cast a sidelong glance at the butler and asked, ”What is it?”

The butler clasped his hands together and said to Yan Xiaoxi, ”Your Highness, the Crown Prince has sent someone to say that the imperial concubine is not feeling well, and the imperial physician is helpless in wanting to find Princess Lin. This old servant has refused, and the Crown Prince has persevered.”

”This King knows.” Nangong Lin waved his hand and the butler retreated.

”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiaoxi and Nangong Lin glanced at each other. She felt that there must be some other mysterious secret hidden within this matter.

Nangong Zhen couldn't help but wonder, what exactly did he want to do?

Go, I've fallen into his trap.

If he did not go, people would say that he would not save him, and Nangong Lin and Nangong Zhen were already at loggerheads. Some people said that Nangong Lin wanted to cripple the crown prince and make him the ruler, while some people said that the crown prince wanted to take out Prince Lin as a thorn in his side. For many years, they had been fighting openly and in secret, and there was a layer of window that had yet to be broken through.

”I'm here.” These three simple words gave Yan Xiaoxi endless confidence.

Since he had already said so, Yan Xiaoxi had no qualms about it. She really wanted to see what kind of trick Liu Zhixue was playing this time, and whether she would suffer the same consequences as the previous times.
