Chapter 955: Male Lead Had Come Online
Ning Shu spoke up to remind Xuan Hongyu. At this point, Shangguan Qingrou’s face was starting to turn a little purple. She was extremely shocked and her pretty face was twisted with fear. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Xuan Hongyu finally snapped out of it and suppressed the violent anxiousness in his heart, and that trace of helplessness, to release Shangguan Qingrou’s neck. Shangguan Qingrou fell against the wall and slid to the ground, coughing hard as she gasped for air.
Her gaze was filled with fear and loathing as she looked at Xuan Hongyu. She could tell that this man had really wanted to kill her.
He said that he had feelings for her, but he actually tried to kill her.
Shangguan Qingrou got up from the ground and ran out, staggering slightly. As Xuan Hongyu looked at Shangguan Qingrou’s back, he clenched his fists and lowered his head slightly. A bit of hair fell over his forehead, casting a bit of darkness on his flawless face.
Ning Shu looked at him from the side. At this time, Xuan Hongyu seemed very helpless and lost. There was no trace of that brutality from when he clutched Shangguan Qingrou’s neck.
In response to this, Ning Shu could only say, you freaking deserve it.
Who could take a person expressing their feelings this way? He had even clutched Shangguan Qingrou’s neck while saying you belong to me, I like you in such a touching way filled with passion.
It was too intense, too extreme.
“Master, do you still want me to protect Miss Shangguan?” asked Ning Shu.
Xuan Hongyu lifted his head and glanced towards Ning Shu coldly. “As before, guarantee her safety. This prince wants to know everything about her whereabouts.”
Xuan Hongyu turned and left. He didn’t seem to want to talk to Ning Shu at all.
Ning Shu was actually relieved that Xuan Hongyu treated her with this attitude. Being ignored was the best. People that Xuan Hongyu cared about had rather pitiful fates.
Ning Shu caught up with Shangguan Qingrou who had run out of the prince’s residence. She kept weeping and wiping at her tears without looking at where she was going, so she kept bumping into people on the streets.
She almost bumped into a carriage, but fortunately Ning Shu pulled her out of the way in time. Shangguan Qingrou’s face was deathly pale, making the marks on her neck even more apparent.
Shangguan Qingrou was stunned, then she turned stiffly to look at Ning Shu. She pushed Ning Shu away as she shouted hoarsely, “Scram! I don’t want to see you! I don’t need your protection! You’re one of Xuan Hongyu’s people!”
Ning Shu frowned slightly. What was the use in getting angry with her? If she had the ability, go argue with Xuan Hongyu.
Moreover, she had just saved Shangguan Qingrou from the fate of being trampled by a horse, yet this was how Shangguan Qingrou reacted. Ning Shu was pretty irritated.
Even if she had been ordered to protect Shangguan Qingrou, she didn’t owe Shangguan Qingrou anything.
Shangguan Qingrou was completely venting her anger towards Xuan Hongyu on her. Ning Shu took several steps backward without paying attention to Shangguan Qingrou who had just suffered a huge blow.
“Oh, who’s this?” A laidback voice arose.
A palanquin had stopped in front of Shangguan Qingrou. The curtain was lifted by a fan, then a man walked out.
This man carried an arrogant air, but he still had a noble aura. He seemed like a yuppie, but he seemed distinguished and accomplished rather than vulgar, mainly due to his good looks. His long and narrow peach blossom eyes made him look very sexy.
Xuan Hongyu’s aura was noble and cold, while Xuan Xiaotian seemed wanton and easygoing.
As Ning Shu looked at this man, she was thinking that the male lead had come online as soon as Shangguan Qingrou had suffered a grievance. During this situation, what the female lead needed most was for the male lead to console her wounded heart.
When Shangguan Qingrou saw this man, she immediately rolled her eyes and said angrily, “What does it have to do with you? Good dogs don’t block the road!”
Xuan Xiaotian flipped open his fan as he sized Shangguan Qingrou up. “You actually dare to call this prince a dog and be so impolite? Be careful, lest this prince decides to pin on you the crime of being disrespectful towards the imperial family.”
When Shangguan Qingrou saw this hateful man, she felt like she was about to be angered to death. Enemies sure traveled on a narrow road. Why did she encounter him while she was in such a wretched state?
Shangguan Qingrou hated this man, so she said angrily, “Then why don’t you pin that crime on me and throw me into jail? Just chop off my head then!”
Xuan Xiaotian choked up when Shangguan Qingrou yelled at him this way. He flipped his fan shut. “Damned girl, did you take the wrong medicine?”
