Chen Jinggu raised his head, his eyes slightly cold as he looked at Ning Wan who was standing at the door hesitantly: "Not coming in?"
He didn't know what was wrong with him. After delivering the medicine that day, he suddenly wanted to take care of his fiancée and didn't want to see her doing nothing anymore.
As for the reason, perhaps it was the engagement that made him have some thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Ning Wan, who was standing at the door and still thinking about gaining a confidant, also came back to her senses, but in an instant she felt the gaze of Chen Jinggu.
She clearly felt that the man not far away was staring at her face, frowning from time to time, as if some part of her facial features was not to his liking and made him annoyed.
People who practice Taoism seem to have their own coolness, and they can control it at will.
Ning Wan's scalp tingled when she was stared at, but when she thought that this was her rare confidant, she took a deep breath and walked in as obediently as a cat without a temper, not daring to waste time.
Xiao Qi, who knew the host's thoughts, fell silent. "Well, how should I put it? The host, this rare confidant, seems to only want to get rid of those words that made her "lose her ambition", and she doesn't even want to keep the scumbag..."
But if the male protagonist really did this, the host would probably go crazy. After all, he had watched the host carefully select and collect all the books. They were so precious that he would put them on the shelf even if he didn't read the contents.
The sense of oppression that Chen Jinggu brought to Ning Wan was too strong. The only feeling Ning Wan had was that this person was not here to congratulate her, but had other purposes.
For example, using this result to humiliate her, warn her, and finally cooperate with him to cancel the engagement.
"No explanation?"
"Did you eat all those books?"
"Or are you really satisfied with your performance today?"
The three questions in succession made Ning Wan's mind unable to wrap around for a while.
Looking at the seemingly angry Shen Jinggu in front of her, Ning Wan didn't understand why he asked this question again. Her fingers stirred the cuffs unnaturally, and she pulled the part of the material that was against her skin. She whispered, "I have already told Brother Shen the answer."
"No matter what the results are, I am naturally satisfied."
She obviously didn't need to be put in solitary confinement, and he didn't have to passively help her with her homework, but why did he seem to be getting even angrier?
There were no candles in the room, but several night-shining pearls were placed there, and the whole room was brightly lit, and even the dark black material on Shen Jinggu's body was faintly reflective.
"satisfy?"
Chen Jinggu looked at Ning Wan, who was right in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips. "But your Senior Brother Shen and your fiancé... are not satisfied with this answer."
Ning Wan's fingers tightened and her pupils dilated slightly.
Her fiancé is him. Did Shen Jinggu admit his identity?
Ning Wanjiang opened her lips slightly and was about to say a few words, but was interrupted by Chen Jinggu.
"You know, if I hadn't replaced your talisman today, He Song's sword would have pierced your shoulder."
"Do you think your body is strong enough to withstand that sword blow?"
Ning Wan didn't think much about it. After a moment of silence, she spoke again softly, "Then... thank you, Senior Brother Shen, for your help?"
He specifically said this, what does he want to hear?
Do you want to hear her admit that she is weak, or do you want to hear her admit that she is not worthy of him?
Ning Wan thanked him sincerely, but this was not what Shen Jinggu wanted.
Shen Jinggu suddenly pressed on, closing the distance between them. His calm tone was like the calm before the storm.
"Ning Wan, you worked so hard to get this engagement, was it really because you fell in love with me at first sight?"
Ning Wan looked at Chen Jinggu and didn't dare to speak easily. Her intuition told her that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
She could have followed her character and pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, but the oppressive feeling he brought was too strong, so she didn't dare to say such words casually.
Chen Jinggu didn't care about Ning Wan's silence, but stretched out his hand. However, as soon as he made a move, Ning Wan took a big step back as if it was a conditioned reflex.
"You want to pick me up again?"
It happened almost instantly, and Ning Wan blurted out subconsciously.
Grievances, questioning, confusion, panic, and a little bit of uneasiness.
She was so weak that she was afraid of him even if he raised his hand.
Shen Jinggu: “…”
He didn't want to pick her up, he just thought, forget it... such a direct way of proving it would scare her.
Looking at the undisguised vigilance in Ning Wan's eyes, Chen Jinggu's fingers trembled slightly, "Ning Wan, you'd better think carefully about our engagement."
He thought that this engagement was not that difficult for him to accept, so he gave her this opportunity now.
If she sees through this relationship and doesn't want to continue, then he will take some time to correct her feelings towards him so that the engagement can be fulfilled smoothly.
If she still insisted that her feelings for him were love at first sight, then if she wanted to regret it in the future, he would never agree.
Ning Wan froze, looking in the direction where Chen Jinggu left, her eyes revealing a sense of confusion: ... Was I really warned?
Seeing that the host was feeling a little down, Xiao Qi comforted him: [Host, don't be sad, Xiao Qi is always here.]
"I'm not very sad, I just feel something is weird."
The reason she took that step back just now was not only because she was afraid that Chen Jinggu would take her away again, but also because his eyes were filled with an indescribable possessiveness, giving her the illusion that she would be kept as a pet.
