CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 300: I SUSPECT YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE

The man gently raised an eyebrow, saying nothing.

Yun Ran looked at him and suddenly sighed inwardly.

[Forget it, why should a heroine bother with a dog? Chicken drumsticks are my love, and they’re delicious! Why bother tormenting myself?]

With this in mind, Yun Ran quickly finished off a chicken drumstick.

As she gnawed on the chicken leg, she kept thinking:

[Nangong Mo, you bastard! I wish I could bite you, you wretched man! Bite you to death!]

By the time she swallowed the last bite, Yun Ran even felt a bit unsatisfied.

Nangong Mo watched her, resembling a gluttonous cat. With careful nourishment over the days, her palm-sized face finally looked a bit rounder, her skin fair and rosy, making one want to pinch it.

Nangong Mo had a silk handkerchief in his hand, and he leaned over slightly to wipe the corner of Yun Ran’s mouth with a very natural gesture.

Yun Ran, who was mentally imagining squishing him into a ball, stopped breathing, guiltily glared at him, and reached out to push his hand away, "I can wipe it myself, don’t get so close to me, you’ll freeze someone to death!"

Nangong Mo sat back casually, slightly widening the distance, "Are you full? Do you want anything else?"

[Want to eat your dog head, will you give it?]

"No, I’m already..."

"Yun Ran."

However, before Yun Ran could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard her name, as if struck by lightning, her mind went blank, and she stared at Nangong Mo, petrified in the wind!

[He... did he just call Yun Ran?!]

[I shouldn’t have heard wrong, right?]

[Did he call me? Or was there someone with the same name as me he just happened to recall and unconsciously said it out loud?]

"Yun Ran, is that your given name?"

"Or a nickname?"

While Yun Ran was lost in wild thoughts, Nangong Mo’s voice rang in her ears again.

Yun Ran tilted her head, staring blankly and dumbfounded at him, not knowing what to think for a moment.

[Given name? Nickname? What the heck?]

[Yun Ran is obviously my real name, okay?!]

After a while, Yun Ran finally said something, "Why do you say that...?"

Nangong Mo elegantly raised an eyebrow, maintaining a poised and composed demeanor, "You talked in your sleep last night, saying your name is Yun Ran."

"I’m just curious, is Yun Ran your nickname or a childhood name?"

Yun Ran: "???

[Did I talk in my sleep?! And even revealed my identity? No way?]

[What else did I say? Didn’t I mention getting struck by lightning?!]

[Doesn’t this mean he knows I’m a wandering spirit?!]

[Could he be secretly looking for a Taoist priest already?]

[If he’s highly skilled, what if I can’t beat him?]

"Judging by your expression, it’s true?"

"Then I shall call you Yun Ran in the future."

Nangong Mo spoke at the right time, interrupting the chaotic thoughts of a certain young lady.

Yun Ran crossed her arms over her chest, trying to calm her pounding heart, pretending to be calm and serious, babbling nonsense:

"Maybe not? You said yourself Yun Ran is my childhood name, only my mom calls me that. You’re not my mom, it’s weird for you to call me that!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

Briefly, the man’s sensual thin lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He shot Yun Ran a cold glance, "I’m your husband, can’t I call you that?"

"No, you can’t! Only my mom can!"

"..."

Yun Ran thought to herself:

[Are you kidding? If I let you call me that, I’ll be on edge every day, okay?]

[It’s like a wandering spirit suddenly dragged into the sunlight, who wouldn’t be panicked?]

Facing Yun Ran’s relentless refusal, Nangong Mo said nothing, only giving her a meaningful look before turning and wheeling away.

Watching his back, Yun Ran couldn’t help but mutter under her breath, "Look at him acting, so skillful at it."

Initially, upon guessing his identity and realizing he might have faked his disability to deceive her, Yun Ran was somewhat angry.

She even considered leaving. First, find a place to settle in the capital, then return to Tianyin Pavilion once she regained her freedom after completing her tasks. From then on, live their separate lives.

But later, she thought of many things.

Before she met him, he was already pretending to be disabled. Considering his experiences, she could guess even without him telling her, that he must have had his reasons for doing so.

Indeed, she minded that he never confided in her, was it because he didn’t trust her?
