My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along
Chapter 418 - 399: Unashamed Flirtations
CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 399: UNASHAMED FLIRTATIONS
Each sugar-coated hawthorn berry had a character carved on it, which together read:
Yun Ran loves Nangong Mo.
Yun Ran thought someone was really shameless! Not only shameless, but also extremely narcissistic!
Just as she was about to properly scorn him, he magically produced another skewer of sugar-coated hawthorn berries and held it in front of her.
This one had eight characters:
Inextricable, will only marry you!
The two skewers of sugar-coated hawthorn berries were placed side by side in front of her, making it hard to ignore them! Yun Ran felt that her eyes were almost blinded by those words!
"Nangong Mo, you’ve really gone too far!"
Nangong Mo shook the skewer of sugar-coated hawthorn berries in his hand, the corners of his lips slightly raised, smiling proudly, "It’s said that girls often speak one way and mean another, always unwilling to express their true thoughts. Since I know your feelings, I should express them for you, shouldn’t I?"
Hearing this, Yun Ran was left speechless, "So should I be thanking you then?"
As if he didn’t detect the chilly murderous tone in her words, the man’s eyes teasingly looked at her and he asked with a smile, "How would you like to thank me? How about offering yourself and watching the moon together tonight, would that be good?"
Yun Ran: "..."
[To hell with you! You hateful bastard!]
"Nangong Mo, you’d better stop talking!"
"Oh? Are you angry? Here, have a sugar-coated hawthorn to calm down."
"..."
Not looking at those hawthorn berries would probably be better, but when she looked, she suddenly felt a chaotic force inside her that she couldn’t suppress.
Seeing his stunning face that could enchant all women only made her more upset!
"If I had known, I should have let you fend for yourself!"
"You make it sound like you could actually do it."
Yun Ran: "..."
This day can’t go on!
"Do you believe that if I were to poison myself now, you would still risk everything to save me, hmm?"
The man slightly tilted his head, his gaze deep, his expression indeterminate as he looked at her, his thin lips curved with an elegantly charming smile, as the glorious sunlight filtered through the floral corridor fell upon him, casting a faint golden glow around him, making him appear like a deity descended to the mortal world.
Yun Ran watched, unable to help gritting her teeth secretly:
[If it weren’t for that incredibly handsome face! With such an annoying demeanor, he would have been beaten to death countless times already!]
"Nangong Mo, are you feeling very proud?"
"Hmm?" The man blinked innocently, "Do I make it that obvious? Did you really see through me?"
Yun Ran: "..."
[Fine! You’ve admitted you’re very proud!]
"Nangong Mo, there’s something I must correct, about last night when I said I liked you..."
Just when she got to this point, Nangong Mo interrupted, "Wrong! It was the night before last."
"..."
Yun Ran suspected he did it on purpose!
Intentionally reminding her that after one night’s sleep, it’s already the third day!
[This is just... peachy!]
While Yun Ran was grinding her teeth, there came another charming voice in her ear:
"You just said you, like, me. Good, I got it! And then what?"
"!!!"
[Who likes you?! Bastard! Beast! Jerk!]
Yun Ran squeezed her fingers tightly, resisting the urge to slap him to death, and snorted, "Regarding that night when I said I liked you, it was just a temporary strategy! It was to save your sorry life, don’t overthink it!"
The man raised an eyebrow calmly, "Saving me? Isn’t that because you like me, otherwise, why would you save me?"
Yun Ran: "......"
"Admit it, Yun Xiaoran, you obviously like me!"
"..."
Looking at his handsome face and charming smile, Yun Ran really wanted to pounce on him and bite him to death!
But she held back, lifting her chin slightly, her demeanor aloof:
"Nangong Mo, don’t flatter yourself! This lady is a Divine Doctor after all, I’ve saved so many people, does that mean I liked all of them?"
The man immediately snorted coldly, raising his chin arrogantly, "How could those people compare to me? You save them out of a doctor’s benevolence, but saving me, that’s because of a maiden’s affection."
"Besides, for a money-loving girl like you, if I died, you could inherit vast wealth and become rich. You should be hoping for my early demise, shouldn’t you?"
"And yet you selflessly risked yourself to save me! Why is that?"
