It’s just that his voice was too low, and Shen Ningyuan couldn’t hear the grievance in his words at all.
The mockery on his face was even more obvious than before: "If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Why should I believe you?"
"Chen Ningyuan, are you so stubborn?" Xie Wanzhou asked through gritted teeth.
"Xie Wanzhou, you're the one who won't listen!" Shen Ningyuan sneered again, "You keep asking me to trust you, but you won't tell me anything I want to know. How can I trust you?"
"you……"
Xie Wanzhou was left speechless.
In the end, he had to give up and let go of Shen Ningyuan.
"Okay, I'll tell you, there are indeed people who are eyeing the Shen family's military power and property."
"Who is it?" Shen Ningyuan asked anxiously.
Xie Wanzhou's voice instantly turned colder: "A creepy crawler from the gutter!"
Shen Ningyuan: "What?"
Seeing Xie Wanzhou remained silent, Shen Ningyuan was so angry that she laughed.
He snorted coldly, "From what you said, you still don't want to say it?"
"Xie Wanzhou, I wasted my time listening to your nonsense!"
"Forget it, just get out of here. I don't want to see you again."
Shen Ningyuan waved her hand, urging Xie Wanzhou to leave quickly.
"Then do you believe me?" Xie Wanzhou asked stubbornly.
"Why should I trust you?"
Although she said so on the surface, Shen Ningyuan obviously believed it in her heart.
"No, you must trust me. I really won't harm you."
At this moment, Xie Wanzhou was as stubborn as a child.
Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath, "Okay, I believe you, can you go now?"
"Then wear this jade pendant. If you need my help in the future, you can bring it to me."
As he spoke, Xie Wanzhou took out the jade pendant again and stuffed it into Shen Ningyuan's hand.
Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Shen Ningyuan picked up the jade pendant and asked doubtfully: "Xie Wanzhou, is this the only jade pendant?"
"Who said that?" Xie Wanzhou rolled his eyes. "Everyone in the royal family has one. It's a symbol of royal status."
“…”
Shen Ningyuan was speechless.
After all this time, I still found a lot of jade pendants like this.
Doesn't that mean that she really misunderstood Xie Wanzhou?
The person I saw in the villa that day was not him at all, but someone else?
While thinking, Shen Ningyuan began to look up and down at Xie Wanzhou's waist.
He became even more convinced that he had really wronged Xie Wanzhou.
The masked man seen in the courtyard was obviously thinner than the woman.
Xie Wanzhou has broad shoulders, narrow waist and well-defined muscles.
There is such a huge gap between the two people, how come she can't tell the difference?
Being stared at by Shen Ningyuan, Xie Wanzhou couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
She asked faintly, "Chen Ningyuan, why are you staring at me like that?"
"It's okay, just looking around."
Shen Ningyuan waved her hand, looking indifferent.
Xie Wanzhou couldn't help but be shocked.
How come Shen Ningyuan, who was just unhappy with him, suddenly became like a different person?
What, she succeeded in conquering herself and no longer doubted him?
Thinking of this, Xie Wanzhou asked tentatively: "Chen Ningyuan, you should believe what I said now, right?"
"I believe it!" Shen Ningyuan nodded vigorously, then changed the subject: "But Xie Wanzhou, you should go back."
"good."
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan believed in him, Xie Wanzhou was inexplicably excited and agreed readily.
Without waiting for Shen Ningyuan's response, he gently opened the door and walked out of Shen Ningyuan's yard.
Through the crack in the door, I looked at Xie Wanzhou's back.
Shen Ningyuan felt inexplicably heavy in his heart. What on earth did this guy want to do?
Did he come here late at night just to prove his innocence to her?
"Miss."
Suddenly, Yi Ge's voice sounded outside the door.
Shen Ningyuan's face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Were you here just now?"
"I have to protect the young lady's safety, of course I'm here." Yi Ge remained neither humble nor arrogant.
"Since you were protecting me, why didn't you take action when Xie Wanzhou entered my room? You only showed up after he left?"
Shen Ningyuan's voice was even colder than before.
Yi Ge remained neither humble nor arrogant, and replied calmly: "Because he has no ill will towards the young lady and will not harm her, I did not take action."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan looked suspicious and asked, "Can you feel that he has no ill will towards me?"
Yi Ge answered truthfully, "I crawled out of a pile of corpses, and I am very sensitive to the evil thoughts in human nature."
Shen Ningyuan was shocked, "I didn't expect you to have such ability?"
Yi Ge nodded, his tone still calm, "If I wasn't sharp enough, the young master wouldn't have arranged me to be with the young lady."
Then Yi Ge added, "In this world, apart from the eldest young lady, the people the eldest young master cares about most are the young lady and the mistress. Now that the young lady is alone in a den of wolves, the eldest young master will definitely arrange for the right people to protect her."
"And that person is this servant."
When saying the last sentence, Yi Ge's tone actually had a hint of confidence.
"This is the first time you've spoken with emotion in all the days you've been with me." Shen Ningyuan chuckled, "It seems that you are very confident in your own abilities."
"certainly."
Yi Ge nodded and returned to her indifferent self.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, then I'll rest first, and you should rest early too."
"Yes, miss."
Yi Ge responded and retreated calmly.
Shen Ningyuan returned to the room, and thinking of what Xie Wanzhou had just said, her brows darkened even more.
