Chapter 1489

Sima Liuyue knew she had lost today when Bei Tianyou began to speak.

Without lingering, she left the yard of the medical room.

Perhaps Nangong Yun would seek her out again, but she wasn’t foolish enough to stand against Bei Tianyou.

All the way, she kept pondering the reason why Baili Xia managed to receive Bei Tianyou’s protection.

This woman, how does she win the favor of men wherever she goes?

Unknowingly, she returned to Wangyue Pavilion.

As she entered the room and was about to shut the door, a shadow suddenly shoved her from behind.

Nangong Yun pushed Sima Liuyue through the door, then entered himself and closed the door.

“Miss Nangong, what brings you to me?”

Sima Liuyue gazed at Nangong Yun, her voice exuding elegance.

Nangong Yun sneered, looked at the wound on her hand, and spoke, “Is this wound really caused by Guisu?”

Sima Liuyue’s eyes flickered but quickly regained calm.

“What do you mean?”

Having decided to expose her, Nangong Yun became less courteous, raising his voice considerably.

“Stop pretending, no matter how well you act, you can’t escape my sight.”

“You are Lu Xuening, did you think I wouldn’t know?”

Sima Liuyue turned around, using the motion to fully conceal the shock in her eyes.

She walked towards the sofa, sat down slowly, displaying a calm demeanor.

“You’re talking nonsense, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Nangong Yun followed her, sitting down opposite her.

“I don’t know how you managed to disguise so well, but I know Lu Xuening too well; you can’t fool me.”

Sima Liuyue listened quietly, though her heart was tumultuous, her exterior remained unruffled.

“The other day, you had Guisu wound Baili Xia; did you think I wouldn’t realize you had hypnotized Guisu?”

Nangong Yun continued to watch her face; even if she appeared calm, he was convinced she was Lu Xuening.

“Someone as skilled as him, aside from Lu Xuening, I can’t think who else could hypnotize him.”

Sima Liuyue chuckled softly, maintaining her usual elegance.

“It’s a pity I am not Lu Xuening; Miss Nangong, you guessed wrong.”

“It would be better to admit truthfully, lest I tell the Nangong Family, and they decide to have you take a DNA test.”

Faced with this blatant threat, Sima Liuyue could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

“What’s there to say if you’ve already decided?

Even if I am Lu Xuening, what good does revealing it do for you?”

“We have a shared goal; why fight among ourselves?”

Nangong Yun looked at Lu Xuening coldly, “Shared goal?

We have a shared goal, yet you attempted to kill my grandfather?”

Lu Xuening spoke softly, “That was merely part of the plan, and besides, the old man should be fine, right?”

Nangong Yun snorted, providing no response.

With no reply, it meant acknowledgment.

Lu Xuening continued, “Since the old man is fine, can we continue to cooperate?”

Saying this, she extended her right hand towards Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun coldly stared at her, hesitating inwardly.

After a moment, she finally made up her mind and reached out to shake hands with Lu Xuening.

“Where is Guisu?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

The traces she’d left in that girl’s room; once the girl saw them, how could she remain calm?

Compassion?

This time, she will surely perish under her own compassion!
