Chapter 86: Chapter 84: Shen Mubai or Me, Who Do You Like?
Yun Ran tilted her head slightly, looking at him with confusion, "Nangong Mo, how did you get so silly? I’ve said it several times!"
"Then say it one more time, okay?"
The girl turned her head, leaving him with a cool and proud side profile: "Not okay!"
Nangong Mo: "..."
The man, unwilling to give up, reached out to turn the girl’s face back, bringing his handsome face close to her, seriously asking:
"Am I not good-looking?"
"You’re good-looking."
"You don’t like it?"
"I like it."
"Then say that you like me."
"No."
Nangong Mo: "...Why not?"
Yun Ran tilted her head, thinking for a moment, "Because I encountered a very strange wall today."
Nangong Mo: "..."
Didn’t she say she liked him? How did it suddenly switch to talking about walls?
The girl looked thoughtful, "I think that wall is about to become sentient..."
"...Why?"
"Because it’s clearly a wall, yet it constantly emits a cold air! You wouldn’t believe it, the coldness is chilling and a bit eerie, very scary!"
Nangong Mo silently looked up at the moon, expressing: Oh, he knows it all too well!
"Were you scared?"
The girl’s chin lifted slightly, with a proud face, "How could I be scared! I was just a bit curious!"
"Be careful, curiosity killed the cat."
"I was even thinking of digging that wall up to use it as a summer retreat."
Nangong Mo: "..."
No need to go to such trouble!
That’s just an ordinary wall, without me there’s no cooling effect.
"Do you have any Silver? Without Silver, if you dig up someone else’s wall, you’ll be thrown into the lake to feed the fish."
Yun Ran: "..."
Always wanting to throw her into the lake to feed the fish... What a meanie!
"Don’t I have gold leaves! Besides..." Yun Ran lifted her left hand, "I could always pawn this, you know!"
Hearing this, the man narrowed his eyes dangerously, looking at her deeply, "You wouldn’t dare."
"Hmph! You’re being mean to me again!"
"..."
Facing the girl’s accusatory gaze, Nangong Mo pressed his lips, softened his tone, and gently coaxed, "You’re not allowed to pawn this, it’s the bracelet I gave you as a token of my love."
Yun Ran blinked, "Then what if I run out of money?"
"I’ll give you money."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl extended her soft little hand, looking at him with a smile, just like a lucky cat waiting to collect money.
Nangong Mo: "..."
The man reached out to pull out a stack of silver notes and placed it in the girl’s palm.
The girl looked down, counting the silver notes, her eyes curved, cheeks blushing, smiling like a blooming peach blossom.
After counting ten thousand taels in one go, Yun Ran contentedly tucked the silver notes into her bosom, reaching out to wrap her arms around Nangong Mo’s neck, "Nangong Mo, you’re so nice~~"
The man’s lips curled up, a hint of pride flickering in his eyes, "Then do you like me?"
"I do~"
"Then between Shen Mubai and me, who do you like?"
"Shen Mubai?"
Yun Ran tilted her head slightly, trying hard to recall Shen Mubai’s figure in her mind.
Perhaps she hesitated a bit too long, her reaction looked different in Nangong Mo’s eyes.
The man slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep and flickering.
"Is it because you were heartbroken by Shen Mubai and feel that nothing matters anymore, so you’re willing to marry me, a man who is rumored to be blind and crippled with few days left?"
"???
Yun Ran blinked, looking at him in confusion: What is he talking about?!
The man’s gaze lowered slightly, hiding a fleeting melancholy in his eyes, "The reason you are willing to stay by my side is only to make Shen Mubai feel guilty, isn’t it?"
