Chapter 037 It's Impossible Between Them
Shen Ning fell silent.
After a pause, she turned around and walked forward without saying a word. She didn't want to pay any more attention to this man's inexplicable arbitrariness, but she also remembered who he was, so she forced herself to be patient and not argue with him.
The unreasonable, fatherly rulers...
Xiao Nanchen actually regretted his words the moment they came out of his mouth. Then, seeing Shen Ning, who had always spoken warmly to him, frowned and ignored him for the first time, and walked forward on her own, His Royal Highness Prince Ding suddenly became anxious.
"etc……"
He subconsciously wanted to hold her, but as soon as he touched her arm, he suddenly remembered something and quickly let go, but it was too late.
Shen Ning hissed, shook him off and took his hand back.
The burn on her arm hasn't healed yet.
Xiao Nanchen knew that he was used to rough hands and feet, so he quickly chased after him and asked, "How is it? Did I hurt you?"
Shen Ning ignored him and continued to walk forward quickly.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding had never been treated so coldly before, but he paused for a moment and then chased after him... Chen Ning ignored him, and he didn't say anything, just following behind him step by step.
After entering the yard, Lian'er came up to greet me with a smile: "You're back."
Shen Ning's expression relaxed and she responded with a smile.
Xiao Nanchen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she should have calmed down by now… But just as he was about to step forward, he saw Shen Ning saw him, her face turned cold again, and then she turned around and went straight back to her room.
His Royal Highness Prince Ding stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to leave or chase after him. He felt a rare sense of confusion.
Lian'er noticed something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Anan, what's wrong? Did you make your sister-in-law angry?"
Xiao Nanchen froze slightly, moved his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Lian Er whispered, "Your sister-in-law has had a hard time. Although she is your eldest sister-in-law, she is still young and she is so kind to you. You are a grown man, you can't make her angry and you can't bully her, understand?"
Xiao Nanchen responded vaguely and walked away in silence.
Returning to his room, Xiao Nanchen thought more and more that what Sister Lian'er said was right... Actually, Shen Ning was only seventeen years old.
The Thirteenth Princess was also seventeen years old, still a little girl who was pretentious and unruly all day long, but Chen Ning was already supporting a family... He really shouldn't have said that to her in such anger.
He also hurt her with his rough hands and feet.
In her opinion, he was bullying her...
Xiao Nanchen walked out of the room and headed towards Shen Ning's room.
He knocked on the door and heard Shen Ning answer. He pushed the door open and saw Shen Ning sitting at the table treating the injury on the back of his hand.
The huge burn bubble had shriveled up, but it was still shocking. Xiao Nanchen instantly thought of the scene when she desperately searched for him in the sea of fire that day.
He felt even worse in his heart. He pursed his lips and sat over, taking the ointment from her hand: "Let me do it."
Seeing Xiao Nanchen lowering his eyebrows and looking pleasing to the eye, Shen Ning paused slightly, then let go.
The atmosphere between the two of them eased instantly...
This was the first time Xiao Nanchen applied medicine to someone so carefully.
In the past, when he was in the army, the purpose of applying ointment was to avoid death or disability, and no one cared whether it hurt or not. But at this moment, his big hands, which were used to holding swords, applied the ointment very carefully and gently, and subconsciously looked up to see her reaction.
Seeing Shen Ning frowning slightly, he even breathed softly: "Does it hurt?"
Shen Ning shook her head: “Not bad.”
Her tone was gentle, as if she had already forgiven him... Xiao Nanchen felt even more uncomfortable for a moment.
After a pause, His Royal Highness Prince Ding, who had never given in to anyone, apologized somewhat stiffly: "It was my fault before. I didn't mean to hurt you. Just think of it as me saying those words because I took the wrong medicine. Don't be angry."
He added, "I'm not trying to bully you."
Shen Ning was a little surprised... After all, the Emperor Jing Yong mentioned in the book was synonymous with arbitrary power, with a dominant attitude like a prehistoric behemoth.
It seems that he is not hopeless.
The boss apologized to me. As a future backbone of the Fortune 500, how could Shen Ning continue to be so rude to the boss? She decided to take advantage of the boss's guilt to improve her image and was determined to make the boss completely believe in and recognize her as a person.
Sighing softly, Shen Ning said helplessly: "We've known each other for so long, Anan, don't you know me well enough? Do you really suspect that I have a private relationship with Pei Yuanzhou?"
Her eyes were filled with earnestness mixed with a hint of disappointment, giving her the look of a loyal minister who had been misunderstood and felt lost.
Xiao Nanchen stiffened slightly.
In fact, he knew in his heart that she definitely had no personal feelings for Pei Yuanzhou now... because she was in love with him!
He actually felt that his previous attack was a bit inexplicable, but at that time he was inexplicably irritated to the extreme. Could it be the sequelae of the poison that had entered his brain before?
Yes, it is very likely. He has been inexplicably irritated these past two days. Is this a sequelae?
That's why he said such stupid things without thinking, and even got angry and hurt her...
Looking at the wound on the back of Shen Ning's hand, Xiao Nanchen thought hesitantly, if he said that it might be the sequelae of poisoning, would she believe it?
"Okay, stop looking. It doesn't hurt much anymore."
Chen Ning thought Xiao Nanchen was feeling guilty, so she tried to comfort him and ease the strange silence.
Xiao Nanchen looked up: "Are you not angry anymore?"
Chen Ning laughed: "Why so angry? Being angry is not good for your health. But since some things have been mentioned, I will tell you clearly today..."
Xiao Nanchen's heart suddenly tightened: What is she going to say?
"I don't have any romantic feelings for Pei Yuanzhou. Anan, no matter what others say in the future, I'm making this clear today: in this life, I'll be a member of the Zhao family in life and a ghost of the Zhao family in death!"
Chen Ning had no plans to get married in this world, so she simply used this sentence to block all of Xiao Nanchen's suspicions and lay a solid foundation for her future glory and wealth!
Now that things have come to this, I, Mr. Wang, should be completely relieved!
However, Xiao Nanchen was completely shocked.
A member of the Zhao family when alive, a ghost of the Zhao family when dead?
Zhao Mu is gone, and now the Zhao family only has "Zhao Nan" left...
She finally made it clear.
But they are absolutely impossible!
Xiao Nanchen said with difficulty: "Zhao Mu is my elder brother."
How could he do anything to let Zhao Mu down?
Shen Ning said in a gentle tone: “I know, so I understand your concerns and I don’t blame you.”
Because he loves his elder brother, he is worried that she will cheat on him and let him down... But he can realize his mistake afterwards, so it is understandable.
Don't blame him?
Xiao Nanchen thought to himself: It turns out she knew he would refuse, she had thought of it a long time ago.
But even so, she still loved him... Even though she knew that her efforts would be in vain and that he would not give her any response, she still risked her life for him...
Even though His Royal Highness Prince Ding was as hard as iron and even though he despised such an incestuous relationship, he was indeed shocked.
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to him.
Why him?
If it was anyone else, even if she wanted to remarry, he would not stop her.
Xiao Nanchen felt inexplicably choked up. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said sternly, "I'll pretend I didn't hear anything you said. You're still young. If you meet someone suitable in the future... I won't interfere."
Shen Ning was stunned.
The final test is here... success or failure depends on this one!
She said firmly: "No, I can do what I say. In this life, I am just a wife of the Zhao family."
I've been your dear sister-in-law all my life! How can you not take care of me in my old age?
Looking at Shen Ning's extremely determined look, as if nothing would make her change in the slightest... Xiao Nanchen clenched his fists and stood up.
His lips moved, but he could not utter another word. His Royal Highness Prince Ding turned around and strode away as if fleeing.
Shen Ning was a little stunned: "Anan?"
Is this...finally moved by her attitude and determination?
