Chapter 967: Why Was She Like That?

Xuan Xiaotian’s current feelings were too complicated to describe. Apprehensive, anxious, infuriated, worried about Shangguan Qingrou, and also resentful.
When Xuan Xiaotian saw Xuan Hongyu’s calm manner, his heart clenched uncomfortably.
He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something had happened between the two.
Shangguan Qingrou was helped out by a maid. She had already changed into clean clothes and her face was no longer covered with blood. However, her face was completely pale and she seemed distracted and fearful.
Seeing Shangguan Qingrou like this made Xuan Xiaotian’s heart drop and his facial color worsened. Xuan Hongyu had definitely done something to her!
When Shangguan Qingrou saw Xuan Xiaotian, her tears immediately overflowed and she ran to him. Her voice trembled as she cried, “Xuan Xiaotian, please bring me away from here! I want to go home!”
Shangguan Qingrou didn’t even dare to look at Xuan Hongyu.
Xuan Hongyu’s facial color instantly turned cold and he said to Shangguan Qingrou, “Come here.”
“I don’t want to, you damned pervert! There’s no way I’m going over there!”
Xuan Hongyu looked at Shangguan Qingrou with a cold expression. Shangguan Qingrou’s back prickled with cold sweat when she saw his strange lingering gaze. She tugged Xuan Xiaotian’s sleeve. “Xuan Xiaotian, I want to go home.”
“Alright.” Xuan Xiaotian could only suppress his worries and bring Shangguan Qingrou to leave.
“I said so before that I’ll send her back,” said Xuan Hongyu coldly. His gaze was filled with hurt and disappointment as he looked at Shangguan Qingrou.
He had been happy earlier because he thought he would have a new beginning with Shangguan Qingrou, but why was she still like this?
“Third Brother, she asked for me to send her back, so just allow me to do so. Also, there’s no need for you to assign a hidden guard to be by Qingrou’s side anymore, she doesn’t like it.” Xuan Xiaotian pulled Shangguan Qingrou behind him as he confronted Xuan Hongyu.
Xuan Hongyu pressed his lips together, his expression cold. “Shangguan Qingrou is mine.”
Xuan Xiaotian staggered for a moment. Behind him, Shangguan Qingrou immediately refuted, “I’m not yours! Stop making things up.”
Xuan Xiaotian said coldly, “Third Brother, if you care about Qingrou even in the slightest, let me send her back now. It’s going to be dawn soon. Could it be that you want her to end up with the reputation of having lost her chastity?”
Before Xuan Hongyu could even speak, Xuan Xiaotian pulled Shangguan Qingrou and left. Xuan Hongyu could only stare at Shangguan Qingrou’s back figure blankly. His expression couldn’t be read.
Ning Shu who was crouched on the tree curled her lips in disdain. Although Xuan Hongyu was her master, she still couldn’t stop herself from feeling that he freakin’ deserved it.
Xuan Hongyu had performed perfectly the role of a courting death expert. This was her first time meeting a supporting male lead who was this good at courting death. Weren’t supporting male leads supposed to have the signs of being gentle spare tires?
But this guy’s extreme possessiveness was already beyond treatment.
“Eleven.” After standing in place for a long while, Xuan Hongyu called Ning Shu. Ning Shu immediately jumped down from the tree and walked to Xuan Hongyu. “Master.”
Xuan Hongyu’s face was deathly pale as he asked Ning Shu, “Eleven, why was she like that?”
Ning Shu: ...
Ning Shu kept her face completely blank as she said in an earnest manner, “This subordinate doesn’t know.”
Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu, then turned and entered the room. When he saw that Ning Shu was still standing outside, he said coldly, “Get in here.”
See? He was taking his anger out on her.
Ning Shu expressionlessly got in there and knelt on one knee as she asked, “Master, what instructions do you have?”
Ning Shu was very nervous. Please don’t have her go protect Shangguan Qingrou again. Xuan Xiaotian would kill her every time he saw her. Please don’t send her towards the blades, Master.
Xuan Hongyu asked Ning Shu, “You’re also a woman. You know why Shangguan Qingrou was like that towards this prince? I like her, so why is she so scared of this prince?”
Ning Shu inwardly burst out laughing. If it were me, I’d also be scared. You fed her blood this time, next time you might feed her shit. If you didn’t even dare to eat the shit of the person you loved, how could you still say that you love me?
Ning Shu replied earnestly, “This subordinate doesn’t know about these kinds of things.”
“What do you like?” asked Xuan Hongyu suddenly.
What did she like? Ning Shu was taken aback for a moment. She loved points the most.
