Chapter 272: Just Like Her Body

“Brother-in-law, where did you and my sister go just now?

Why did I…”

Nangong Qingqing approached, but was frightened by Mu Xiaojiu’s cold gaze, swallowing the words she had been about to say.

Mu Xiaojiu was indeed a bit displeased, all because of the two words “brother-in-law” that she had uttered.

Is his little creature now believing the rumors about him and Nangong Yun having an unusual relationship?

Just now, had not she seen with her own eyes when he was merely borrowing Nangong Yun’s support?

If she had seen it, then why was she arguing about it?

It was simply absurd!

“Qingqing, stop saying nonsense.

Was it not just a play?

Have not you exited the role yet?”,

Nangong Yun came over, stroked Nangong Qingqing’s long hair, and laughed warmly.

She looked at Mu Xiaojiu and couldn’t help but complain a few words.

“She’s just a child and knows no better.

Why did you scare her?

It won’t happen again.”

Seeing him still with a sullen face, she continued to laugh, “You know perfectly well that there’s someone in my heart, what are you bothered about?”

Only then did Mu Xiaojiu stop paying attention to Nangong Qingqing and turned to walk upstairs.

Nangong Xu was the first to follow, ready to perform a physical examination on Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Ye Hua and Leng Yu also anxiously followed.

Not until everyone in the hall had left, leaving it empty, did the soft smile at the corner of Nangong Yun’s lips dissipate in an instant.

Seeing her gentle sister suddenly transform into a somber and terrifying presence, Nangong Qingqing became flustered immediately.

She hurriedly apologized to her, “I’m sorry, sister, I didn’t mean to, I just hoped that he would accept this matter quickly.”

“When did it become your place to meddle in my affairs?”

This was the Sihai Residence, even if there was no one around there was certainly a chance a servant might suddenly enter.

Therefore, even if Nangong Yun was upset, she didn’t show it too clearly.

She turned around and headed for the guest room Leng Yu had prepared for her.

Nangong Qingqing immediately followed her into the room.

The moment the door was shut, Nangong Yun’s rage completely revealed itself.

She glared at Nangong Qingqing, her face hideous.

“Don’t think for a moment that you’re really Miss Nangong.

You’re just a wild girl we picked up!”

“I know, sister, I know, I was wrong!

Please forgive me, sister, I beg you.”

Nangong Qingqing, who had just been sunny and cheerful, was now like a humble maid.

Looking at Nangong Yun, she was so nervous that her body was trembling.

“You know how potent my poison is.

Speak thoughtlessly again in the future, and watch how I cripple you!” Nangong Yun scoffed.

“I won’t, I absolutely won’t dare again!”

Nangong Qingqing profusely apologized, she was practically on the verge of kneeling down and begging for forgiveness.

Nangong Yun paid her no more mind and just stared into an obscure corner, the anger still lingering in her eyes.

In reality, Nangong Qingqing hadn’t really done anything wrong, it was just that she was in a bad mood and wanted to vent on someone.

All these years, she had been pretending to still miss a certain dead man in her heart, only then did Mr.

Xiaojiu let his guard down around her.

Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t like having women near him and loathed the way they gazed at him with infatuated eyes.

She had been practicing for so many years, it was only then that she could appear calm and composed in front of Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Even if her inner feelings churned like a stormy sea, at least on the surface, she appeared to not have the slightest bit of feeling towards him.

Because of this, Mr.

Xiaojiu was not as resistant to her.

If he found out one day that she had in fact been in love with him all this while, he would certainly be disgusted by her.

There was still a slight chance to be his friend if she wanted to.

But to become his woman, that was far too difficult!

She couldn’t do it herself, and she wouldn’t allow any other woman to do it either.

Whoever dared to snatch her man, she would face death!
