CHAPTER 303: CHAPTER 294: HE STOOD UP!

She... feigned unconsciousness?

Then...

Nangong Mo pursed his thin lips, silently watching Yun Ran, his heart in turmoil.

Yun Ran looked at him coolly, smugly lifting her chin, "Are you surprised? Are you shocked? So shocked you can’t even speak?"

Nangong Mo: "..."

Clearly injured, her face as white as paper, yet still so cocky...

"Lin Wanyue, I..."

"What do you mean you? Don’t even think about making excuses!"

"I know everything that happened from the alley to the manor! Don’t even think about lying with your eyes open!"

"..."

Nangong Mo was silent for a long time before speaking, "Why did you pretend to be unconscious?"

Yun Ran raised her chin, snorting coldly, "Of course, to catch your sly tail!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

Heh... this dead girl is really painstakingly clever!

"Hurry up, stop lounging in your wheelchair, stand up and walk a few steps for me."

"..."

Nangong Mo remained seated, with no awareness of being exposed, instead, he appeared calm and composed.

"You say you faked unconsciousness, but where’s the evidence?"

"..."

"You, girl, always speak nonsense. How do I know you’re not lying?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Thank you so much for knowing me so well!]

In fact, Yun Ran was indeed lying; she really had fainted earlier and only just woke up.

But whether she was really unconscious or not is not important. What’s important is, as long as she insists she faked it, she can use it to trick Nangong Mo into admitting he’s Yun Mo.

Because these were the facts. She knew he was pretending to be disabled, she knew he was Yun Mo, and he knew she knew, yet he just refused to admit it!

As long as this thin layer is pierced, does it matter if it was real or fake unconsciousness?

She was worried she couldn’t act convincingly enough to expose the flaw, so she even took a pill to sleep like a log for half an hour.

Yun Ran decided that, no matter what, she must make him reveal his true identity today!

"Nangong Mo, are you trying to argue and slander this lady to shift the blame? Want to play the game of refusing to admit, is it?"

Even when confronted, the man remained expressionless, handsome as a painting, calm and elegant, lightly stirring the bowl of medicinal soup with a white porcelain spoon, creating ripples.

"Behave! Stop playing this stalling tactic, you must take this medicine today."

"..."

"I know you’re afraid of bitterness, so I’ve prepared a whole jar of candied fruits for you. Don’t be tricky, okay?"

"..."

Yun Ran looked up at the canopy above her, with so many feelings in her heart:

[I have to admit, in terms of arguing, I must concede defeat! Truly unmatched!]

"Come, take the medicine."

Nangong Mo scooped a spoonful of the medicine and brought it to Yun Ran’s lips, gazing at her gently.

Yun Ran couldn’t help but admire: putting everything else aside, just looking at this moment, with such divine beauty, unmatched elegance, it’s truly a visual delight!

But...

"Nangong Mo, stop your futile struggle!"

"If you could get away with your mere words and arguments, wouldn’t all my efforts of feigning unconsciousness and taking a sword have been in vain?"

Hearing her words, Nangong Mo’s expression suddenly changed, frowning and looking directly at Yun Ran, "What did you say?"

"I told you to admit you are Yun Mo, you’re pretending to be disabled!"

However, it seemed as if Nangong Mo hadn’t heard Yun Ran’s words; his eyes fixed on her, deep like the ocean under the dark night sky, "Did you take that sword on purpose?"

It seemed like a question, but his tone was assertive.

Yun Ran subconsciously nodded, "Yes!"

"Just to make me admit I’m Yun Mo?"

"Yes!"

"You even didn’t mind getting hurt?"

"Yes... Well, that’s..."

Watching his face grow darker and darker, like the sky before a storm, especially those eyes, deep as an abyss, brewing a storm at the bottom.

Yun Ran finally realized that she might have said something wrong and subconsciously shrank back.

"Well... can’t catch a big fish without sacrificing some bait! I just didn’t have a choice..."

Before Yun Ran could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a sharp sound and saw the bowl of medicine in Nangong Mo’s hand shatter into pieces, scattering on the ground.

The medicinal soup flowed from his hand into his sleeve, dripping onto the floor, mingling with the fragments, making Yun Ran’s heart tremble slightly.

Yun Ran: "..."

[Oh my! That’s too scary! So violent?! Luckily it wasn’t my head he was holding!]

After a brief shock, Yun Ran suddenly thought that the medicine might still be hot, and became a bit concerned.

"Nangong Mo, your hand... is it burned? Let me see!"

"Don’t move."

But before she could get up, she was frozen in place by a voice as cold as ice shards.

Yun Ran felt her heart tremble, silently swallowing and looking at him with some guilt, "Nangong Mo, you...you..."

Yun Ran said ’you’ multiple times but couldn’t articulate anything else. She wanted to ask, ’Are you okay?’ but looking at his sinister, terrifying expression, anything seemed but okay.

She even hallucinated seeing a giant dragon engulfed in flames above his head, roaring and spewing Samadhi Fire, burning everything around!

For a moment, Yun Ran felt as if she too had been burnt to ashes...

And then when the wind blew, not even a speck remained...

Yun Ran couldn’t help but shiver, shaking her head to clear the thoughts, tugging at the corner of a blanket, weakly looking at him, "Nangong Mo, don’t be like this... It’s too frightening..."

"If you really don’t want to admit you’re pretending to be disabled, then forget it... We can act like it never happened! There’s no need to think of killing to silence anyone..."

Yun Ran knew he wouldn’t really kill to silence. But his current gaze, expression, and aura made it seem as if he might pounce to strangle her at any moment, making her heart tremble...

But before she could finish speaking, she noticed the coldness around him intensifying, and Yun Ran was almost in tears.

[If I’d known, I would have found another way to make him admit it... But couldn’t find a better way, could I?]

"Forget it, forget it, you don’t have to admit it! Nothing happened today, I..."

But before Yun Ran could finish, Nangong Mo suddenly stood up from the wheelchair with a ’whoosh’.

His figure was tall and straight as a mountain, standing beside her bed, looking down at her, blocking out all light.

Yun Ran, trapped in shadows: "???"

[What happened? What did I see?]

[Did he really stand up? Is he admitting it? Is he finally willing to admit it?]
