Chapter 174 - 172: Shen Qinghe, let me help you change your face
It was not until Wu Ke left that Nan Sheng withdrew the coy smile from her face, her eyes turning ice cold.
She felt a presence behind her and turned to see Xiao Chen. Her complexion changed slightly, uncertain when Xiao Chen had arrived behind her or if he had seen her flirting with Wu Ke.
In a rush, she clarified, "Brother Xiao, you misunderstand..."
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, "Elder Wu shares a similar temperament with you so it’s within reason that you like him. However, he is also a master of the romantic game; you might not be his match."
His nonchalant demeanor drained all the color from Nan Sheng’s face as she said hoarsely, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, Brother Xiao."
Why didn’t Xiao Chen show even a hint of jealousy?
Even though she loved him now, why did he betray her and show affection to Shen Qing?
Shen Qinghe once said she would snatch away anything she wanted from her hands because she knew about her love for Xiao Chen, so did Shen Qinghe steal Xiao Chen from her on purpose?
Remembering the scene where Xiao Chen gifted Shen Qinghe a hairpin, the places where she had been struck by the Black Rope burned as if scalded by fire, the searing pain almost unbearable, as if it had permeated through her skin into her very bones.
Xiao Chen didn’t say anything more. He was about to leave when Nan Sheng suddenly embraced him from behind, "Brother Xiao, can we start over, please?"
She had already lost Yan Changsheng and couldn’t afford to lose him too.
