Chapter 257 No Need for Pretense

Shang Xi was originally walking behind, but he saw Xiao Ning riding his horse to Zhang Dashu, and then trying to get close to him.

Shang Xi clenched the reins in his hands, staring at Xiao Ning's back, his face becoming darker and darker.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled the reins and rode his horse to the other side of Xiao Ning.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?"

When Zhang Dashu saw Shang Xi, his expression became even uglier.

He pulled the reins and drove the horse away, deciding to turn a blind eye to the sight.

"Brother Zhang..."

Xiao Ning shouted at his back, but the other person ran even faster.

Xiao Ning: “…”

She turned her head speechlessly and looked at Shang Xi.

Shang Xi looked at her with gloomy eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Ning said, "Aren't you in a bad mood? What are you doing here?"

Shang Xi pulled the corner of his lip and said with a forced smile, "Come and see what my good brother-in-law talks about with other men."

She wasn't even angry, but he was still being sarcastic.

Xiao Ning was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Brother Zhang is someone I recruited with great difficulty. If you continue to do this and get angry, there will be no end between us."

Shang Xi felt very unhappy when he heard this.

She couldn't help but sneer, "Yes, other men are all good, only I am not. I like to act up. Since you don't like me so much, just let me die in the hands of the bandits!"

"It would save me from annoying you here!"

After saying this, he pulled the reins and rode away on his horse.

Xiao Ning: “…”

The anger in her stomach was rising.

It's almost breaking through the top of my head.

Xiao Ning took a few deep breaths, silently telling herself that a grown woman shouldn't bother with a little man, and then she slowly calmed down... Bullshit!

I can't calm down at all!

Xiao Ning gritted his teeth and stared at the figure running ahead.

She talked nonsense and acted recklessly, and now that she's gotten into trouble, she doesn't even let her solve it properly, and she's even angry with her!

And you said that to make her angry!

By the time it was time for lunch and a break, Xiao Ning still hadn't gotten over his anger.

She stared at Shang Xi, who was sitting aside and being served by guards while preparing to eat, and her anger grew even greater.

Why did he make her so angry while he just sat there and enjoyed his meal?

Xiao Ning walked over and grabbed his wrist.

“Follow me!”

After saying that, he turned around and strode into the woods next to him.

She let Shang Xi stagger behind her, being pulled by her, without stopping for a moment.

Xiao Ning pulled Shang Xi's wrist with great force.

Shang Xi felt like his wrist bones were about to be crushed, and the wound on his wrist had not healed yet.

The pain from two different senses mixed together, making him feel sore in his eyes.

But now he was also angry, gritting his teeth and refusing to say a word.

Until Xiao Ning pulled him deep into the woods and threw him out with a flick of his hand.

My back hit the tree, and I felt another dull pain.

Finally, he couldn't help it, the corners of his eyes turned red, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Only then did Xiao Ning feel a sticky touch on his fingers.

She raised her hand and saw the blood on her fingertips, then she remembered that he still had an injury on his wrist.

The anger in my heart stopped instantly.

She reached out to grab his hand, but he avoided her.

"What is General Xiao doing?"

Xiao Ning said: "Look at your injuries."

Shang Xi turned his head away, "You don't have to be so kind."

Xiao Ning pursed her lips and stared at him, "Do you really have to talk to me like this?"

Shang Xi turned around and looked at her, his eyes gradually reddening: "Isn't this what you wanted?"

Xiao Ning: “…”

What did she hope for?

Could this person please stop being so unreasonable?

She still hasn't digested the fact that he turned into a living person.

When we met, he pretended to be my brother-in-law.

He was being affectionate with her, and when someone saw them, they misunderstood him. People didn't say anything to him, but instead thought that there was something wrong with her character.

That's it.

She was dealing with the problem he had caused, and he came over to make trouble.

She just said something harsh, and he replied with something even more harsh.

Xiao Ning was very angry and really wanted to slap him twice to vent his anger, but seeing his red eyes, he felt soft-hearted and couldn't bear to do it.

Finally, he took his hand up forcefully and looked at the injury on his wrist.

The wound, which had healed slightly after being treated with medicine, was broken again because of her violent pulling.

She even pinched her wrist, leaving a circle of red marks.

Xiao Ning couldn't help but say, "You've become a man, but why is your skin still so delicate? It gets so bad when you pinch it."

Shang Xi: “…”

He tried to withdraw his hand, but she held it tighter.

"Don't move."

As she spoke, she took out ointment from her bosom with her other hand and applied it to his wound.

Shang Xi watched her gently apply the medicine to him, and even blew gently on his wound after applying the medicine. His eyes became even redder.

Why is she always so sentimental!

Can't I just like him?

She had only known Zhang Dashu for a short time, but she cared about him so much.

Even because of him, I will never let him go.

She had clearly kissed him last night and even called him...

He thought that in her heart, he was a little different after all.

Facts proved that he thought too much. Even if they kissed and hugged each other, he was still not as important as others in her heart.

After applying the medicine, Xiao Ning put the small porcelain bottle into his arms and looked up at Shang Xi.

I saw him pursing his lips, his eyes were red, and he looked aggrieved.

Xiao Ning: “…”

He looks like someone who is easy to bully.

Xiao Ning thought so and did so.

She raised her hand, grabbed his collar, and easily pulled him down.

His teeth bit the warm and cool lips neither lightly nor hard.

The excitement made Shang Xi tremble uncontrollably.

There was a different kind of emotion in his eyes.

He raised his hands, put his arms around her waist, and pressed her into his arms.

Xiao Ning did not resist and indulged his actions.

Shang Xi launched a tentative attack.

Xiao Ning still indulged him.

Lips and teeth intertwined...

The hair is tangled...

They can hear each other's breath and are very close.

This was the first time Xiao Ning kissed him when he was sober, and it felt pretty wonderful.

Xiao Ning estimated that the time was about up and pushed him away.

But he stretched his neck and subconsciously pursued her lips.

She raised a finger, pressed it to his lips, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, it's time to go back after kissing enough. It's getting late."

"If someone sees this again, they'll accuse you and me of incest."

Shang Xi: “…”

When Xiao Ning turned around, he hugged her from behind.

"Aning..."

His voice was hoarse, and his hot breath was puffing against her ear.

"I feel bad..."

Xiao Ning felt it and she felt a little embarrassed.

She quickly pulled his arm away, walked a few steps away, then glanced down at him and looked away again.

He coughed lightly and said, "Can you bear it?"

How can I bear this...

The corners of Shang Xi's eyes turned red. He looked down at himself, then looked up at Xiao Ning.

But her body was unusually calm, without any ripples.

Therefore, she had no desire for him at all...

This realization was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

Shang Xi's eyes dimmed and his desire gradually dissipated.

Eventually calmed down.

Xiao Ning: "...Is that all right?"

Shang Xi lowered his eyes and hummed softly.

The two walked back. Xiao Ning looked at him several times. Seeing that he was always unhappy, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Her anger was gone after being kissed away.

He wanted it so much, so why did he feel even more unhappy after the kiss?

Shang Xi said: "Nothing."

Xiao Ning: "Really nothing?"

Shang Xi pursed his lips, but couldn't help asking, "Do you like me?"
