Chapter 567: I Can Do Anything You Ask_1

“…” Baili Xia was left a bit speechless.

She thought something serious had happened to Nangong Xu, but it turned out to be just this.

However, her nonchalance only made Nangong Xu feel heavier.

“If I made a mistake, I should be punished. No matter how you decide to penalize me, I will accept it willingly.”

He did not take this as lightly as she did.

For him, the issue was extremely serious.

A promise, for every man, is the heaviest burden on his shoulders.

He promised her that he wouldn’t let Nangong Yun take her credit.

He was determined to keep that promise.

But now, he was unable to do so.

He had betrayed someone’s trust.

Sometimes, losing faith and deserting justice could be more painful than death.

These things were not what a young girl like her would understand.

And he didn’t plan to explain it to her either.

As long as she was willing to punish him, willing to vent on him.

Even if she demanded his life, he would not utter a word of refusal!

Baili Xia looked at him blankly, although she really didn’t understand why this matter was so serious.

But after seeing the heaviness and determination in his eyes, she started to get a sense of it.

It seemed that this situation may indeed have put intense pressure on him.

“Did Uncle plan to deal with her and she came to ask you to save her life?”

She could roughly guess the reasons now.

Something must have gone wrong with Lu Xuening, and Uncle would soon find out.

She just didn’t expect Uncle to take action so soon.

It was said that the Nangong Family had shown kindness to Uncle, but, Uncle was still going to do something to Nangong Yun.

All because Nangong Yun and Lu Xuening wanted to conspire against her…

She reeled in her thoughts, not wanting to think more about Uncle’s favor.

She pressed her lips together and breathed out lightly.

“Mr. Nangong, I understand what you mean, but have you thought, what benefits will I get by punishing you?”

Nangong Xu looked at her, not knowing what to say.

He hadn’t really considered this point.

He only felt that betraying her was an enormous and unforgivable sin.

He only hoped she could harshly punish him, even if it meant she stabbing him a few times with a knife, because that would be better than the constant guilt in his heart.

“Do I have to scold you, to hit you, or to bite you a few times to vent my hatred?”

Baili Xia walked to the side and sat down on the chair, looking helpless at him.

“But what’s the point of those things to me?

If I hurt you, the police might come to have tea with me.”

“No!” At least on this point, Nangong Xu could assure her.

“Whatever you do to me is something between you and me.

No one else is going to get involved.”

“I…I’m just kidding.” Why was he taking this so seriously?

However, his current state put her in a difficult position.

If she didn’t do something to him, it seemed, he would be in constant anguish.

But if she really had to do something, she couldn’t think of what to do.

She couldn’t really bite him, could she?

Nangong Xu continued to calmly watch her, and Baili Xia couldn’t bear to see him kneeling there alone.

He was a cold man, but he was also very straightforward.

She jumped off the chair and walked up to him.

“Mr. Nangong, can you stand up? Can we talk while standing? Otherwise, I feel pressured.”

Nangong Xu didn’t speak or get up.

He just kept staring at her.

It was as if he was anticipating her judgement.

Baili Xia was really in a predicament.

If she didn’t mind, why did he?

Although she also despised Nangong Yun, letting Uncle’s people enact a slaughter in the Mu family was not a good thing either.

Even if Nangong Yun was ousted, she had never thought of taking credit for it in front of Uncle.

Couldn’t this matter just be quietly resolved?
