Chapter 633 You Dare to Kill Me
Marry me? Are you crazy?
How could Li Yancheng say such a thing?
Xia Ningxi quickly denied it: "Impossible, Li Yancheng can't be that stupid."
"I think he's genuinely showing his feelings and truly likes you," Huo Nanxiao scoffed, his sarcasm utterly unkind.
Xia Ningxi realized that Li Yancheng must have been talking nonsense in front of Huo Nanxiao, which was why Huo Nanxiao got angry and started fighting with him.
What's most outrageous is that every time Li Yancheng argues with Huo Nanxiao, he drags her into it, pretending to like her and deliberately provoking Huo Nanxiao. She's quite innocent; to be honest, she doesn't want Li Yancheng to pay so much attention to her.
Knowing that Huo Nanxiao was angry, Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly: "Why do you care so much about him? Who he likes is his business, I don't care at all, why are you so angry? Besides, when has Li Yancheng ever believed anything he said? When he said he liked me before, didn't you not believe him at all? What are you angry about today?"
She tilted her head, looking at the man in front of her with suspicion. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that Huo Nanxiao's clothes were somewhat disheveled and his hands were injured and bleeding.
"You're not jealous, are you?" she asked, not wanting to be bothered.
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face suddenly darkened.
"You're overthinking it!" He left those four words and walked away quickly.
Lu Qi chased after him, saying, "Young Master Huo, you're still injured, be careful."
"Why are you running so fast?" Xia Ningxi muttered to herself, unable to guess what Huo Nanxiao was thinking.
A window on the third floor was smashed, and no one knew how it happened. Xia Ningxi walked to the window and looked down. The sea was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything. Even if someone had fallen in, she wouldn't be able to see them unless she looked carefully.
Did Huo Nanxiao really carry out the killing?
No……
Because there was someone in the observation deck on the west side of the second floor... who fell from the third floor.
Xia Ningxi walked downstairs and came to Li Yancheng. Seeing the injury on his leg, she pulled up a chair for him.
"Sit down," she said in a clear, crisp voice.
Li Yancheng sneered: "You still dare to come see me? Aren't you afraid Huo Nanxiao will be angry?"
"You've already fallen into his trap, yet you still dare to spout nonsense. What good will it do you to do this?" Xia Ningxi asked.
She knew that Li Yancheng was deliberately trying to provoke Huo Nanxiao by mentioning her in front of him.
No matter what, she was Huo Nanxiao's wife and had a child with him. Any man with a shred of self-respect would not want his wife to be touched by another man. Even if Huo Nanxiao didn't like her, he would never allow her to have any relationship with Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng is quite something, repeatedly venturing into Huo Nanxiao's minefield. What's the difference between that and courting death?
Li Yancheng leaned back in his chair and smiled: "Can I take that as you being concerned about me?"
"Don't you think your life is short enough?" Xia Ningxi frowned.
Li Yancheng replied, "Huo Nanxiao wouldn't dare kill me."
"If you can't speak properly, then shut up. There's never been any affection between us, so why make things difficult for me? I only cooperated with you before because I wanted to know the truth about what happened back then, but you won't utter a single useful word." Xia Ningxi was extremely dissatisfied with this matter.
Li Yancheng glanced around; it was empty and deserted. He said, "Prepare a speedboat for me, and I can answer one of your questions."
"I want the whole truth about what happened back then." Xia Ningxi wasn't so easily fooled. She knew that everything could only be dug out of Li Yancheng's mouth, and she couldn't just let him go like that.
Li Yancheng chuckled: "What you know is already the whole truth."
"Then tell me, how did I get injured back then? And how did I lose my memory?" Xia Ningxi stepped in front of Li Yancheng, pressing him aggressively.
Li Yancheng's expression changed slightly, but he feigned ignorance: "How would I know? You were injured back then? I have no recollection of that."
"Wasn't it you who did it?" Xia Ningxi grabbed Li Yancheng's collar, saying each word clearly, "Who else could it be but you?"
She knew that Li Yancheng wouldn't tell the truth, so when she came downstairs, she had a dagger in her hand pressed against Li Yancheng's chest, and her beautiful face was filled with a bright and dangerous smile.
Li Yancheng's heart rate quickened. "You dare to kill me?"
uh-huh--
With a muffled groan, the dagger had already pierced the man's flesh.
Just a moment ago, Li Yancheng was incredibly arrogant, but now a look of pain appeared on his face. He grabbed Xia Ningxi's wrist and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Don't forget my expertise; I can keep you alive," Xia Ningxi gently reminded her.
Li Yancheng: "Should I thank you for sparing my life?"
"To be honest, you know that no matter what I do wrong today, Huo Nanxiao will protect me." As she spoke, Xia Ningxi tightened the grip on the dagger in her hand.
Li Yancheng caught a glimpse of a figure upstairs out of the corner of his eye. His gaze sharpened, and the hand that was holding Xia Ningxi suddenly wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms and holding her soft body tightly...
Buzz—
Xia Ningxi's mind went blank for a few seconds before she came to her senses. She hurriedly pushed Li Yancheng away. The man groaned in pain and slumped into a chair, blood flowing from his chest. But he knew Huo Nanxiao was upstairs, so he instinctively turned away to avoid Huo Nanxiao's gaze...
"Xia Ningxi, investigating what happened back then will do you no good. Do you want me to deceive Huo Nanxiao for you? I truly love you, so I won't help you make the same mistake again." Li Yancheng clutched his chest, his hoarse voice filled with anguish.
A strange noise came from upstairs. Xia Ningxi looked up abruptly and saw Huo Nanxiao standing upstairs, coldly watching them. His deep eyes were devoid of any light, yet they were terrifyingly dangerous. She wanted to explain, but before she could even open her mouth, Huo Nanxiao had already angrily turned and left.
"You plotted against me?" Xia Ningxi angrily shouted at Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng glanced at the knife in his chest and smiled: "Do you think Huo Nanxiao would prefer a savior who is loyal to her, or a wicked woman like you who is naturally promiscuous?"
"Ha, Li Yancheng, I really believed your lies! You just stay here and behave yourself. This blow is what you deserve!"
She pulled the dagger from Li Yancheng's chest and threw it into the sea, then turned and left.
"I did save you, after all, and this is how you treat me?" Li Yancheng questioned.
Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks: "How did you save me?"
"If I hadn't kept your attempt to kill Xia Wanwan a secret, Huo Nanxiao would have already reduced you to ashes. Wasn't I trying to save you?" Li Yancheng questioned.
Xia Ningxi was furious. She didn't want to hear any more of this guy's nonsense. Seeing a broom on the ground, she picked it up, walked up to Li Yancheng, and smacked him hard.
Li Yancheng grasped the other end of the stick. "Come with me, and you too can have absolute wealth and status."
"You should be thinking about how to save your own life!" Xia Ningxi angrily threw down the broom and stormed off.
