Chapter 120: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (17)

He didn’t plan to show the slightest kindness .

Su Huang and several others saw Sheng Qianmo drag the little girl out of the Moon Pavilion with a cold expression . Su Huang was sure about one thing . While gazing Sheng Qianmo’s face, he muttered, “He is angry . ”

Ningcheng Yuan shook his head, and said, “This was the expression he had at the military camp in the morning…”

Ji Xilli frowned a little .  

“Shall we go and have a look?”

Ningcheng was the first to raise a hand opposing her . “I don’t . I want to go home and sleep!”

After saying that, he didn’t hesitate to turn around and leave, clearly wanting to not see Sheng Qianmo .

“This is Fourth Brother’s business . Let him solve it himself,” Sheng Zhiyu said, advising Ji Xili to leave .

Su Huang nodded, and said, “Let’s all go home . ”

Ji Xili looked at them with a complex expression and glanced in the direction Sheng Qianmo had left . In the end, she had to leave with Su Huang .    

Sheng Qianmo dragged Shu Nuan to the dark bank of the nearby river . Out of impulse, he threw her under a tree and gave her an intense gaze from above, staring at her from head to foot .

Behind Shu Nuan was the rough trunk of the tree . The ground was cold and wet, her hair had scattered, and her clothes had slipped down from her snow-white shoulders, revealing her porcelain-jade skin . The word “slave” on her collarbone was clear in his vision .

“Is there anything you want to say to me?” 

Sheng Qianmo had thoughts he likely not forgive the idea that Shu Nuan what  had done beforehand . Looking at Shu Nuan so pitifully, pondering he could forgive her previous choice as long as her att.i.tude was softer and she apologized and explained to him .

Before, Sheng Qianmo had believed he’d likely not forgive what Shu Nuan had done before . But looking at her pitiful figure, he considered forgiving her as long as her att.i.tude was softer and she apologized and explained it all to him .

However, Shu Nuan lowered her head and said, “Nothing . ”

Her throat was dry and voice somewhat trembling .

Perhaps she felt cold .

But Sheng Qianmo stared at her, gaze like cold steel daggers, looking more and more indifferent . He didn’t realize that his ideas at this time were a little ridiculous . At first, the little girl was thin, small, and fl.u.s.tered, and she’d appeared beneath his horse asking for help . He’d raised her with much difficulty . Now this little white wolf was rebelling against him without asking if he was willing to let her go .

“What can you do without This Prince?”

Shu Nuan tidied her clothes and mumbled, “Shu Nuan can live and do anything . ”

“Like tonight?” Sheng Qian’s voice was cold . Her words were a joke . He couldn’t bear to bully her in the way those men had, so how could them doing it?

Shu Nuan bit her lip . She bowed her head and said nothing . She was still afraid of Sheng Qianmo, so although she kept her head down and didn’t look at him, her eyelashes trembled .

Sheng Qianmo’s cold eyes were still threatening . “Answer This Prince . ”

Shu Nuan looked up at him, and in a soft voice she said, “Shu Nuan is not in good condition . However, does this have anything to do with the Fourth Prince?”

Her voice trembled with the cold, but he listened to every word she said . Sheng Qianmo’ stared at her emotionlessly for a moment and then turned to leave, indifferent .

He left her alone, standing under the tree .

Shu Nuan stared unblinking at Sheng Qianmo’s departure . In the end, she dropped onto her knees . She bent her legs, hugged her knees, and buried her head in them . After a while, she sniffled and stood up, leaving into the night .

The dark night long, it drew her a thin shadow in the water beside the sh.o.r.e, lonely and pitiful .
