Chapter 122: Beauty trap?

The thunder-like truth made Xiao Nanchen feel confused, but he soon understood it.

He realized that it was his preconceived notions from the beginning.

Because when I first arrived in Qingyuan Village, all I heard were the neighbors talking about how promiscuous Chen Ning was, so I unconsciously attributed all her actions to my own perception.

Even though he soon realized that Shen Ning was not that kind of person, the preconceived idea had already taken root in his heart... Or perhaps, the reason was not Shen Ning's, but his own.

He had already developed other thoughts unconsciously, which is why he unknowingly attributed everything to love between men and women.

Just as intense was the throbbing emotion that seemed to ignite people just now, just as desperate was the confusion and helplessness at this moment.

Seeing Xiao Nanchen's eyes were red, Shen Ning suppressed the confusion in her heart and spoke carefully: "Well, Anan, I think I may also have some responsibility, please don't be like this."

Xiao Nanchen closed his eyes: "I'm sorry."

He said, "No one has ever treated me like you have... No matter who I am or where I am, even if I treated you poorly or was seriously ill and disabled, you never showed any coldness or disgust... I was just mistaking my thoughts."

He never thought that someone would be nice to you for no reason. He believed that if someone gave something, there must be a purpose behind it. This was the perception he had developed since he was a child.

In that situation at the time, he had nothing. The only thing he could think of was that Shen Ning was after him, but he never considered that she was kind-hearted and had no ulterior motives.

That was the truth, she did many things without any ulterior motive... She treated him well simply because she was nice.

Shen Ning felt confused and guilty.

Only she herself knew that her starting point was not simple, but now she would never dare to say this even if she was beaten to death.

Seeing Xiao Nanchen feeling as if he had been hit hard, embarrassed and withdrawn, Shen Ning felt guilty and at a loss, not knowing how to speak at all.

At this moment, she heard Xiao Nanchen whisper, "You rest first. I'll go out and be quiet... I'll take you back early tomorrow morning."

He got up and walked out.

The door closed, and Shen Ning stood there in confusion. But when she thought of Xiao Nanchen's red eyes as he left, she couldn't calm down no matter what, so she simply chased after him.

She actually didn't know what to say if she chased him out, but she just didn't want him to leave in such embarrassment.

"Anan..."

Xiao Nanchen turned around.

At this moment, Shen Ning suddenly noticed a very eye-catching figure walking towards this side.

It’s Xu Zhiyi.

He was wearing a luxurious white robe that was out of place in the entire military camp. He strode towards this side, followed by a line of golden-armored guards.

Xu Zhiyi held the imperial order and could come and go freely even in the Xinzhou army.

At the same time, Xu Zhiyi also saw Shen Ning on the second floor. He narrowed his eyes suddenly and then smiled: "So you are here."

He walked straight towards this side.

Shen Ning was suddenly startled, and her body moved forward faster than her thoughts, rushing directly downstairs.

Xiao Nanchen was at the corner of the stairs. The disguise on his face had been wiped off. If Xu Zhiyi saw him, he would definitely recognize him.

When Xiao Nanchen saw Shen Ning running towards him quickly, a light suddenly appeared in his already dull eyes, but the next moment, he saw Shen Ning pass by him and pounce directly on another person.

Pushing Xu Zhiyi back, Shen Ning did not hold back her strength at all, fearing that Xu Zhiyi would see Xiao Nanchen.

Xu Zhiyi was caught off guard and hit in the chest. He stumbled back a few steps and quickly reached out to protect the man. He was angry and amused: "What are you doing?"

Shen Ning grabbed his collar and blocked his view: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I have something to say to the Third Master. Let's go out and talk, go out and talk."

Shen Ning's impression of Xu Zhiyi was that he was a sickly person who had just been cured. However, she pushed hard but it didn't move. She was a little dumbfounded and looked up.

Xu Zhiyi frowned slightly when he saw her expression: "If you have anything to say, just say it here."

Shen Ning immediately shook her head: “Others can’t listen, I…”

She looked up at Xu Zhiyi, deliberately mysterious: "If Third Master doesn't want to listen, then forget it."

Xu Zhiyi paused slightly, looking at the woman in front of him who was dressed in men's clothes and looked up at him, appearing particularly obedient. He was silent for a moment, then turned around according to her force.

Shen Ning hurriedly pushed people out.

Behind him, Xiao Nanchen watched as Xu Zhiyi put one hand behind Shen Ning as if he was hugging her, and slowly clenched his fists... He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He recalled what he saw on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, his feeling at that time was not an illusion, Shen Ning and Xu San...

All along, he had been just being wishful thinking. What excuse did he have to chase her out now?

Chengying asked carefully, "Master?"

Xiao Nanchen turned around and said in a low voice, "Send her back to Pingning tomorrow morning... Leave someone to protect her as before."

Chengying immediately agreed.

Outside, Shen Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief after pushing Xu Zhiyi away, and then heard Xu Zhiyi say, "Go ahead."

Shen Ning coughed lightly: "It's like this, the situation is particularly chaotic here, someone attacked the camp, Third Master, do you know why? I just heard the news, it turned out to be..."

But before she could finish her words, she was about to start from the beginning when Pangu created the world, when Xu Zhiyi suddenly frowned and snapped back to his senses: "Who was that just now?"

Shen Ning raised her eyes, her face full of innocence: "What?"

Xu Zhiyi narrowed his eyes and sneered, "A honey trap for me?"

Shen Ning immediately shook her head: “I don’t know what you mean.”

"Still being stubborn."

Without warning, Xu Zhiyi raised his hand and touched her chest. Shen Ning found that she could not move. Then Xu Zhiyi put her directly on the carriage next to him.

"Keep an eye on her."

After saying that, he strode inside.

Shen Ning, however, had already breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they didn't face off directly, she believed that nothing would go wrong with Xiao Nanchen.

Sure enough, not long after, Xu Zhiyi came back.

He got into the carriage and looked at her quietly.

Shen Ning's face was full of innocence.

Xu Zhiyi suddenly laughed: "This is the first time I've used a beauty trap..."

Shen Ning was filled with astonishment.

She is just rambling or making a feint to the east while attacking in the west. Does this have anything to do with the beauty trap?

But at this moment, Xu Zhiyi suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, leaning forward.

Shen Ning couldn't move at all. She was so shocked that she closed her eyes subconsciously. Then she felt a slightly cool breath brushing against the corner of her lips and falling to her ear.

Xu Zhiyi changed his usual casual demeanor and said in a cold and dangerous tone, "Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish."

As his tone of voice continued, his jade-like fingers performed a completely opposite and bad action. With just a hook of his fingers, he easily opened Shen Ning's collar. The cold breath fell on her neck. Shen Ning was suddenly horrified... But at this moment, Xu Zhiyi's movements suddenly stopped.

His peach blossom eyes, filled with anger or desire, fell straight on a peach blossom-shaped light red birthmark under Chen Ning's collarbone, and another picture appeared before his eyes.

In the warm room, a pale and weak woman was leaning against the wall, and a maid was putting small clothes on the white baby.

He pointed to the birthmark on the baby's chest and said curiously, "There's a flower on the baby's body."

The person next to him laughed and said to him softly, "Ayi, that's not a little sister. She should call you uncle..."
