CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 377: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

Nangong Mo originally intended to push her away, but upon hearing these words, it was as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning. He stood there frozen, staring blankly at the girl’s delicate face.

His soul and spirit were leaping and soaring in the wind:

She said she liked him? She likes him? So she likes him too!

Not only does she like him, but she also said it out loud! She must really, really like him to let it slip!

"Nangong Mo? Are you... okay?" [Could it be that the fever cooked his brain?!]

Yun Ran looked at him with some concern and waved a hand in front of his eyes.

Nangong Mo snapped out of it as if waking from a dream, grabbed Yun Ran’s hand, and asked her with some urgency, "Yun Ran, what did you just say? I didn’t hear it clearly, say it again!"

Yun Ran: "..."

Yun Ran glanced at him lightly, seeing the uncontrollable excitement at the corners of his eyes and brows, and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "If you didn’t hear it clearly, let’s just say I didn’t say anything!"

"???

How could that be? Upon hearing this, Nangong Mo became somewhat anxious, "You just said you like me, right?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[He obviously heard it clearly, didn’t he? Yet he wants someone to say it again?!]

"Yun Ran, quickly say it, you like me!"

"..."

Yun Ran resisted the impulse to roll her eyes, looked at him with some helplessness, "Nangong Mo, is this the issue you should be worrying about right now?"

"Yes!"

"..."

[Yes, your head!]

[Just look at yourself now! You look like you’re ready to become ’consumed by passion, dead and gone’ at any moment, yet you’re still fixated on such trivial matters?]

Nangong Mo heard her inner thoughts, and his eyebrows furrowed suddenly.

Tri-vi-al?!

Something so important and significant to him, she actually called trivial?

"Yun Ran!"

Vaguely, Yun Ran heard a trace of cold killing intent in his voice, and she blinked in confusion, "Huh? What’s wrong?"

How dare she ask what’s wrong?

Ha!

The man’s cold eyes narrowed slightly, looking at her deeply, "Do you truly like me, have feelings for me, and couldn’t help but confide in me? Or rather..."

"Did you only say so to save my life, casually spouting nonsense, deceiving my feelings?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Yes, it was to save his miserable life, but how is that deceiving his feelings?!]

The man’s unparalleled handsome face darkened instantly, like the sky before a storm, with fierce winds and dark clouds pressing down, almost conjuring ghostly apparitions.

He abruptly turned around, his voice low and alluring, cold, proud, and arrogant, "I don’t want you to save me! Leave here quickly while I can still control myself."

"..."

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at his aloof back but couldn’t help but admire his near-superhuman self-control.

Casually picking up the dagger from the ground and playing with it, she teased nonchalantly, "Don’t need me to save you? Then how do you plan to save yourself? By stabbing yourself into a honeycomb with this dagger?"

Nangong Mo: "..."

"Hmph! That’s my business! I don’t need you..."

Before he could say the word "involve," he heard Yun Ran let out a low cry, as if the dagger had cut her.

The man instantly forgot his aloofness, rushing towards her with a face full of worry and urgency, "What happened? Did you hurt yourself? Let me..."

Yun Ran suddenly stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her hands around his neck, and gently kissed his sexy thin lips.

Nangong Mo’s entire body shook, his breath stopped, and his heart couldn’t help but beat wildly.
