Chapter 495 The Big Villain Actually Lacks Confidence
Di Jingling originally wanted to say that she didn't want to get down either...
but……
The woman in front of him slightly raised her pale face, which was extremely ashen. Her usually bright eyes were now filled with mist.
They looked so wronged and pitiful; it really made my heart melt.
Her pitiful appearance made one feel as if they wanted to present the whole world to her.
I knew perfectly well that this girl was acting.
But……
He simply couldn't bring himself to say the opposite; he knew that when facing Xiao Tang, he could only admit defeat.
He was already internally surrendering, but on the surface he had to pretend to be solemn and silently sit down beside her.
Despite his frustration, he still took her small hand in his own.
I gently held and played with her little hand in my palm.
This gesture was like the arrival of a powerful figure, silent yet exuding an aura of authority.
None of the disciples who had just been surrounding Xiao Tang dared to step forward now; they all retreated, wishing they could gouge out their own eyes and pretend to be blind.
They retreated a great distance, including Gu Hanxin.
Even Yan Ruyu knew she couldn't stay and get in the way, so she immediately ran away.
Staying any longer would only make me feel superfluous.
Yan Ruyu saw Gu Hanxin surrounded by his fellow disciples, and someone seemed to be comforting him: "Senior Brother, don't be sad. There are countless women in this world; you can't compete with the Regent..."
Gu Hanxin was speechless. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
When did he ever say he wanted to compete with the Regent? Unless he's tired of living, he would never think that way.
However, his disciples had no idea what he was thinking and subconsciously believed that he was just trying to comfort himself and deceive himself.
"Senior Brother, don't be sad. We'll never mention this again."
"Senior Brother, how about I introduce you to a few beautiful junior sisters?"
The more he listened, the more outrageous it became. Gu Hanxin turned away, not wanting to waste his emotions on his junior brothers.
Suddenly, as he turned around, he saw Yan Ruyu standing with her arms crossed, looking at him with a calm demeanor.
He even saw a mocking smile on Yan Ruyu's face.
That smile was glaringly obvious.
He genuinely felt tired.
He was tired of explaining to these people; they didn't seem very willing to believe him...?
After a long silence, Gu Hanxin suddenly stepped closer to her, his tone feigning indifference: "What are you laughing at?"
Yan Ruyu: ?
What kind of attitude and tone is that?
That's infuriating!
"Why should I tell you what I'm laughing at? It's none of your business! Ha!" She said this and turned to leave.
She found a quiet corner to sit down, took out the book of mystical arts that she had specially memorized, and slowly began to read it.
As for this man, she didn't want to make eye contact with him at all.
Gu Hanxin, on the other hand, was a little indignant after being inexplicably rebuked.
That breath got stuck in my throat.
He didn't know how to refute it for a moment...
...
Once Xiao Tang saw that her disciples had all left, she found herself in a quiet place.
She forcefully pulled her small hand away from his grasp, raised her chin, and asked, "Husband, why did you suddenly want to get down?"
"I'm afraid you'll get kidnapped."
I had anticipated countless answers, but I never expected this one.
Xiao Tang's mind went blank for a moment.
She stared at him blankly, "Huh?"
Under these circumstances, who could possibly kidnap me?
Is the main villain lacking in self-confidence?
The man's thin lips tightened slightly, and his solemn expression was something that even Xiao Tang could not comprehend.
He was indeed afraid that his wife would run away, especially if she were to be lured away by some young man.
Humans are driven by basic human needs: food and sex.
Is she annoyed that he's too clingy? Or is she annoyed that he's getting old...?
The more I think about it, the sadder I get.
Di Jingling's eyes dimmed.
Xiao Tang had no idea what this big shot was thinking. She was just a little surprised to see his eyes gradually dimming. "Oh my, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so sad?"
She raised her hand and gently stroked his cheek.
Even in front of so many people, they still ignored it.
Showing affection is fine; there's no law that forbids them from doing so.
So when she covered half of Di Jingling's handsome face, the man's dim eyes instantly lit up.
It was as if they were already captivated by her movements.
"It's nothing..." He glanced around out of the corner of his eye.
With so many people around, he naturally felt embarrassed to act coquettishly towards her.
He still needs to save face as regent.
Xiao Tang knew he was too proud to lower himself and wouldn't coax her in front of so many people or do anything too intimate with her, so...
She started to act recklessly.
Her fingers landed on his waist and gently stroked it.
"My lord, why are you silent? Is it because we have been separated for too long that you no longer love me?"
He pulled her hand away, his voice low and laced with clenched teeth, each word distinct, "Don't do anything rash, stop making a scene."
She smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a little bit of mischief."
He even stuck out his tongue and made a funny face.
Such a lively appearance is something others cannot see.
Her face remained turned towards Di Jingling.
Her disciples were facing away from her.
[I definitely need to maintain my 'aloof' image as the sect leader; I can't let it show, cough cough cough...]
What I'm saying is, it's better to show affection discreetly in the future to avoid awkward situations.
The final stage has begun.
