Chapter 468 Jealousy
Chapter 468 Jealousy
Luo Hanfeng: "..."
He looked at Xie Xing with a deep, unwavering gaze, as if he were looking at a dead man.
Xie Xing felt guilty and subconsciously looked away, but she quickly realized that she had clearly been kidnapped, so what was she feeling guilty about?
So Xie Xing straightened his chest and glared fiercely at Luo Hanfeng.
"Some people cannot be forced. Surely someone as intelligent as the Seventh Prince understands this principle?"
Jun Lanjin pulled Xie Xing into his arms and said casually.
His voice was slightly magnetic, and it vibrated in Xie Xing's ear, making Xie Xing feel numb on half of his body.
Those fair earlobes were so red they looked like they were dripping blood.
Not far away, Xie Mingzhu watched as Xie Xing ran out from behind, and saw Luo Hanfeng and Jun Lanjin confronting each other, all for the sake of Xie Xing.
Xie Mingzhu clenched her fists at her sides, her nails digging into her flesh with the force.
She stared intently at Xie Xing.
So, the person who supposedly ran away was actually Xie Xing?
Xie Mingzhu calmly turned her gaze to Luo Hanfeng. He had his back to her, so she couldn't see his face clearly, but she could imagine that he was staring intently at Xie Xing.
How could we not notice?
Xie Mingzhu simply refused to believe it.
Luo Hanfeng didn't even bother to pretend in front of her; he was easily discovered.
Xie Mingzhu couldn't understand why.
If Jun Lanjin likes Xie Xing, she will be unwilling, but she can accept it.
After all, to Jun Lanjin, she was just a stranger.
But Luo Hanfeng!
he can not!
But he just can't like Xie Xing!
Xie Xing humiliates him, whips him, and never takes him seriously, trampling on his dignity. How could Luo Hanfeng possibly fall in love with her after all that?
Just how despicable is he?
The more Xie Mingzhu thought about it, the more resentment she felt had nowhere to go. Her body trembled slightly, and she felt completely cold, unable to feel any temperature at all.
She didn't understand where things went wrong.
She showed Luo Hanfeng kindness, helped him during his lowest point, and even shared life and death with him, never abandoning him—all for the sake of making him fall in love with her!
What is his heart made of?
Xie Mingzhu's heart was filled with endless resentment.
"Sister Mingzhu?" Ye Tai, who was standing to the side, noticed Xie Mingzhu's emotions and looked at her with some concern.
In an instant, Xie Mingzhu composed herself, turned her head, gave a forced smile, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine."
As she spoke, she walked towards Luo Hanfeng.
Xie Mingzhu wore a human skin mask, so she wasn't worried about being discovered. She walked over with Ye Tai beside her.
Over here, Luo Hanfeng snorted coldly: "Even if it's a bitter fruit, it tastes sweet to me."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Xie Xing and said, "Right, Miss Xie, don't forget our agreement."
"An agreement?" Jun Lanjin looked down at Xie Xing: "What agreement did you make with him?"
His voice sounded no different from usual, but the large hand gripping Xie Xing's waist tightened slightly.
Xie Xing looked completely wronged: "Don't make things up! What agreement could we possibly have?!"
Luo Hanfeng tilted his head: "Does Fifth Miss Xie intend to deny it?"
"Or are you afraid to admit it in front of the Ghost King?" he said with a smile. "Our one-month agreement, give me a month and you'll fall in love with me."
"Hmm?" Jun Lanjin narrowed his eyes.
His eyes, as black as ink, were unfathomable. His face beneath the mask was even calmer, and with just a soft utterance, Xie Xing felt a chill run down his spine.
"Xie Xing, did you really make such a promise with him?" Jun Lanjin leaned down, resting his chin on Xie Xing's shoulder, his long eyelashes drooping. Even without seeing the expression on his face, he could tell just how sad Xie Xing was.
His voice was muffled: "Then what are we?"
"What do you mean by saying you'll always stand by my side, always love me, and always put me first in this world?"
Is it considered deception?
"Thank you, Xing."
With each word Jun Lanjin spoke, Luo Hanfeng's expression grew increasingly grim.
The reason is simple: he never received such treatment or such sweet words.
So he was jealous.
He was insanely jealous.
He wished he could capture Xie Xing again, implant the Heart-Eating Gu in her body, and force her to say different sweet nothings to him every day.
Luo Hanfeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
But not wanting to lose face, Luo Hanfeng sneered, "Ghost King, do you really think she loves you that much?"
"If she loves you, why would she be so self-disciplined and polite in your presence?"
"She doesn't even dare to be her true self in front of you. Does she really love you?"
Now it was Jun Lanjin's turn to be unhappy.
He said, "How do you know she is self-disciplined and polite in front of me?"
Was it a dog that forcibly kissed him?
The two of them talked back and forth, and Xie Xing kept looking at Jun Lanjin and then at Luo Hanfeng, his head spinning.
These two are like children, trying to determine who likes whom more.
Xie Xing's head was throbbing.
"Palace Master." Just then, Xie Mingzhu appeared behind Luo Hanfeng. She looked at Luo Hanfeng blankly, her voice filled with doubt and questioning: "Do you like that girl?"
The sudden appearance of a woman drew everyone's attention to Xie Mingzhu.
Xie Xing recognized this person; wasn't she the daughter of the Duke of Zhou whom he had seen with the Second Princess last time?
She looked at Xie Mingzhu with some confusion and surprise.
Why would the daughter of the Duke of Zhou be here?
No, that's...
Xie Xing looked at Ye Tai next to Xie Mingzhu in shock.
Ye Tai looks exactly like Qi Yu. If it weren't for their different temperaments, Xie Xing would have thought that the person standing next to Xie Mingzhu was Qi Yu.
This is this...
"This is the Holy Son of Miao Jiang, Qi Yu's twin brother," the system replied.
Xie Xing gasped.
If the holy son of Miao Jiang appears here, then wouldn't the person beside him be Xie Mingzhu?
In the storyline, Xie Mingzhu saved Ye Tai, and now that she's here, it's hard for Xie Xing not to think that this person isn't Xie Mingzhu.
[Ding, the current progress of the male and female leads is 70%.]
Suddenly, the system's voice sounded.
Xie Xing was shocked.
She is now certain that the daughter of the Duke of Zhou is Xie Mingzhu.
But why is the progress increasing instead of decreasing?
Just now, Luo Hanfeng was actually arguing with Jun Lanjin over a girl in front of Xie Mingzhu.
The system said: [You were originally meant to be a stepping stone between the male and female leads. In most plots, there's always a female supporting character who helps advance the relationship between the main characters. Perhaps your existence inspired Xie Mingzhu's feelings for Luo Hanfeng.]
Xie Xing: "..."
Is this okay?
