Chapter 246 - 244 She even felt that she liked Lu Ying
Lu Ying was struck so hard that his face turned to the side.
Shen Yinning extinguished that hint of frivolity and allure, her delicate face frosty with a deadly chill: "You have the nerve to question me? Why did I lure you to Jiangnan, do you think? I ought to ask you—why didn’t you ask me, not even once, before sending me to Lu Shiyan?! What’s the matter—do you think I, Shen Yinning, belong to you, Lu Ying? That I’m yours to hand over to others as you please?!"
Her fingernails resembled a fox’s claws, kept slightly long and sharp.
When delivering the slap, her pinky scraped the corner of Lu Ying’s lips, leaving behind a faint trace of blood.
Lu Ying lowered his eyelids and licked the blood from the corner of his lips.
His narrow eyes were dark as ink, streaked with chilling threads of frost.
He couldn’t explain it to Shen Yinning—the mere existence of her had completely disrupted his emotions and reason.
He couldn’t bear her cunning games, claiming she liked him, loved him, while secretly scheming to bury him in a sea of fire without hesitation.
And he couldn’t stand watching her under his own nose, exchanging tender affection with Cui Ji.
Step by step, he climbed his way to the position of Crown Prince, his great work still incomplete.
But he couldn’t bring himself to kill her.
He could only send her away.
