Chapter 163 - 161: You are mine!
Xiao Chen gave a faint smile, toying with Nan Sheng’s slender fingers, "You’re still lying at this moment. That day, you deliberately came to me to inquire about Zhiyao; you also desired to kill her. Nan Sheng, if the Sky Pole Sect really is to find someone who understands you, it would be none other than me."
Nan Sheng remembered how she had thrown herself at him time and again, even stripping naked to please him, yet he could always restrain his desires, gently pushing her away with a tender smile each time, indulgently telling her to stop fooling around.
She knew then that this man, seemingly gentle, was more ruthless than anyone else.
A man able to easily control his own desires must be harsh on himself first, and so, he would be even harsher on others.
Even now, he could still smile so tenderly, appearing as an intimate lover to her, but she knew that in the next moment, he would be ruthless to her!
At this thought, her heart swelled and ached.
Her voice hoarse, she asked, "Brother Xiao, do you really understand me that well?"
Xiao Chen’s smile gradually faded, "I know you are extremely cold-blooded and selfish, and that your seemingly delicate and lovely appearance is but a means to achieve your goals. Just like how you excel at seduction and playing the damsel in distress, because most men possess a natural sympathy for the fairer sex, and you have repeatedly proven this tactic to be infallible. Just now, your tears and show of weakness were nothing but your usual methods..."
Upon hearing this, Nan Sheng withdrew her hand angrily and interrogated in a loud voice, "If you think I’m selfish and cold-blooded, then why would you still agree to marry me?"
So he was regretting it now, not wanting to marry her, a selfish and cold-hearted woman? Or was it that he wanted to get Shen Qinghe and had to kick her, this eyesore of a stone, out of the way first?
"I decided to get engaged with you because I needed a Daoist companion to constrain myself. Whether you’re kind or not is of no consequence to me, as I am not exactly a paragon of virtue myself..."
