Ning Ran maintained a calm expression on his face and swallowed calmly.

When she raised her head, she could only meet his eyes. She tried her best to move to the head of the bed behind her, but to no avail. She was already firmly leaning against the head of the bed, with no way to escape.

"Um, no..." She stuttered in reply, but she couldn't ignore the coldness in Jing Nanxuan's dark eyes, leaving only frankness, seriousness and earnestness.

His hand grasped her slender wrist, and the temperature under his palm was scorching, making people shiver.

He was silent, and Ning Ran also knew that he could see her discomfort and her lies.

After a while, she was defeated and said: "Yeah."

Jing Nanxuan: "Why?"

She thought she understood him, and thought that if she said this, he would be angry, and it would be better to be ridiculed or alienated from him in return, than that she would always feel sorry for what happened in Yuning Beppu not long ago.

Although he said that he knew how to weigh the pros and cons and that he was prepared before confessing his identity to Ning Xiangchen, she still felt sorry for involving him.

In her opinion, she should be very angry about the fact that she was "taking advantage" of him, instead of insisting on asking why she was avoiding him like she was now.

Every time she did this, looking into his eyes, she would feel that she had done the most incredible stupid thing in the world.

Ning Ran didn't dare to look directly into his eyes. She lowered her head, knowing that there was a disparity in strength, but she was still struggling with her hands.

Jing Nanxuan thought for a moment that she was finally going to take off her mask and lose her temper, but he only heard her small apology voice: "I'm sorry..."

"What happened last time at our house was that I left the keychain in your car in advance. I hoped you would see it and return it to me in person." She paused, and the corners of her lips curved, but she did not smile.

, instead it spreads a bitter meaning.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Maybe it was because she had no one to talk to except Song Enen for so long. She suddenly didn't want to hide it from him anymore.

"The specific reason is that my father has already cut me off from everything I had in the past in Xinxiang Village. He has always hoped, no, to put it another way, he should continue to force me to become what he wants.

He never beat me, he just used very human means to make me give in to him and obey him. Before you came that day, I was locked up in the basement by him and was punished, so I was there to give him a face, to put it mildly.

What doesn’t sound good to everyone is the product that he can make a profit from in the shopping mall.”

The more Ning Ran spoke, the more she couldn't hold back the curve of her lips. The moment she lowered her lips, she felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

Whether it was her lack of resistance in her previous life or her acting in this life, she had indeed worn the fake smile mask for too long, making it stiff and heavy. She is much better now.

"My personality may not be as sweet as you see. I like freedom, and I also like to take revenge when I have a grudge. I don't have a Bodhisattva heart.

You may not know that I hate Jing Chenqin's compulsion and the way he insists on me all day long. I am not an object, I am a person with my own thoughts. If he doesn't like it, it will definitely belong to him.

So not long ago, I exposed the news about his illegitimate child and indiscretion abroad. You shouldn't know, right?

Although the Jing family has been dragged into the water, isn't it all because he, Jing Chenqin, deserves it, and isn't it because he, Jing Chenqin, has brought down the entire Jing family?"

Ning Ran felt that after saying these words and confessing who he was, he had put down a heavy burden, but after venting, he felt that he was really incredible.

Does Jing Nanxuan think so too?

Ning Ran shook his head, as if he was relieved, and continued: "So I have been resisting my father in my own way, so when I saw Shao Zitong in Xinxiang Village that day, I knew that she was targeting me and deliberately staying.

I have a clear mind."

She suddenly looked at the man in front of her, and just like that day, she said deliberately: "Jing Nanxuan, I did it on purpose that day, deliberately guiding you to achieve your own goals. Since you understand, you shouldn't get involved. Although I know you have a backup plan and will never do anything you are not sure of, but one less thing is worse than one more thing. Who wants to get involved in other people's affairs?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she finally seemed to clear away the clouds and see the man's eyes clearly.

Unexpectedly, he always looked at her calmly, like a cold pool, but exuding a pleasant coolness, which eased her irritable mood.

He just listened to her, but other than that, he didn't have the emotions she expected.

Ning Ran moved her lips. In her opinion, such a reaction was undoubtedly the last thing she expected.

She suddenly felt ashamed, but a male voice as sweet as a cello softly touched her ear: "I do."

This sound, like a solemn promise from a wedding hall, struck straight into the deepest part of Ning Ran's heart.

She raised her head and met Jing Nanxuan's eyes again.

This time, there was only seriousness in his beautiful eyes.

Ning Ran suddenly couldn't tell whether the three words he just said were in reply to her words, or whether they also applied to something else.

Seeing the girl looking at him but remaining silent, Jing Nanxuan's voice was low and hoarse: "I know what kind of life you have been living at home these years. If you need it, I can help you leave at any time."

he knows?

No, how come he knows everything?

Ning Ran moved her lips in surprise when she heard this. She didn't want to ask this, but she couldn't resist her quick words: "But, why?"

Why help her?

Ning Ran almost caught the flash of pity and grief in the man's eyes, and Jing Nanxuan's low voice was somewhat relaxed: "Aren't we friends?"

"Friend, isn't it just like 'I'll go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of ​​fire without hesitation'?" He twitched the corner of his lips, "I want to help you, and I am willing to help you."

Ning Ran almost agreed, but luckily she was overcome by reason. She blushed a little and shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, that's not the case."

Where did he hear all this?

"Actually...actually some friends are not worth what you pay for."

Jing Nanxuan's eyes dimmed for a moment: "Are you talking about yourself?"

Ning Ran nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Jing Nanxuan rolled his throat, but the hand holding her wrist did not tighten with anger, but loosened: "Ning Ran, are you drawing a clear line with me?"

Ning Ran: "I..."

Jing Nanxuan: "What if we don't treat you as a 'friend'?"

Ning Ran didn't understand what he meant for a moment: "What?"

Jing Nanxuan held her wrist and lifted it up, closer to her, and the pressure immediately disappeared.

It's just that his eyelashes drooped a little, casting a small shadow under his eyes and covering most of his emotions: "What I want to say is, whether we are friends or not, you don't need to worry about my identity, no matter what.
