My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 442: Duplicity

Before Yun Ran could finish speaking, she saw him curl his lips into a somewhat infuriating smile, "Are you sure you can walk on your own? Should I let go then?"

How could Yun Ran not catch the deeper meaning in his words? Her face involuntarily flushed red, and just as she was about to curse him, he suddenly let go!

Mind you, they were still in mid-air! He just abruptly, without any warning, let go!

Yun Ran: "!!!"

Yun Ran could hardly believe this was real, but by bodily reflex, the moment he released her, she clung tightly to him with both hands, wrapping her legs securely around him to avoid falling.

Meanwhile, she glared at him fiercely, gritting her teeth with murderous intent, "Nangong Mo! You bastard! Were you trying to drop me to my death?!"

"Unjust accusation, I did not."

The man’s lips curved slightly, his eyes twinkling with mirth, clearly in a good mood, "Weren’t you the one who told me to let go? How could I not follow your words?"

"??? "

"..."

Yun Ran almost burst out laughing in anger! Listen to him, could a human being actually say such a thing?!

"So you let go just because I said so? What about the other things I’ve told you that you didn’t listen to?"

Nangong Mo made a sound of surprise, looking quite shocked as if he had discovered some great truth, suddenly realizing, "Oh, so when you say let go, it actually means don’t let go!"

Yun Ran: "..."

[I’d love to smash him with a brick!!!]

To her surprise, he continued to muse, "Indeed, girls are most duplicitous, saying one thing while meaning another!"

Then his tone shifted, a charming yet irritating smirk appeared on his lips, "However, your body is quite honest!"

"?"

What does he mean? Yun Ran was momentarily stunned, but then heard his low laugh, his voice deep and alluring, incredibly pleasant, yet his words made her want to slap him!

"Yelling for me to let go, but clinging tightly all the same, hmm, from now on, I should definitely interpret and act on your words in reverse."

Only then did Yun Ran realize her current position. Her face slightly flushed red as she promptly released her hands, intending to use her Qinggong to leave, and kick him down in the process!

However, she found his arms were like iron bands tightly encircling her waist, holding her firmly in his embrace, making it impossible to break free.

Yet he said, "A beauty willingly coming into my arms, soft fragrance and warm jade, this feeling is quite nice, I rather enjoy it, hmm, we should do this more often."

Yun Ran: "......"

Looking at that god-like, incomparably handsome face so close to her, with a smile that was both charmingly roguish and elegant, Yun Ran only felt an itch in her teeth.

Then, acting on impulse, unable to resist, she lowered her head, leaning on his shoulder and viciously bit down.

...

At night, perhaps because she had been lying in bed all day, after dinner, Yun Ran wasn’t sleepy. She simply asked for a few medical books and sat on the bed reading.

The night was as calm as water, the room quiet and peaceful.

She didn’t know how much time had passed when the beaded curtain lifted and Nangong Mo walked in.

"Whoosh—"

A flash of gold sliced through the air. Without even lifting her eyes, Yun Ran picked up the gold brick and hurled it.

Nangong Mo: "..."

Did I make a mistake? Shouldn’t have given her a brick?

He lifted his hand to catch the swirling gold brick, then brazenly walked towards the bed under the guise of returning it. "My dear, it’s late, time for bed... "

Before Nangong Mo finished speaking, a pillow came flying at his face.

"Didn’t I say this is my room and you’re not allowed? You, out the door, left turn, get lost!"

Nevertheless, he remained unfazed, heading for the bed with the pillow in one hand and the brick in the other.

"You and I are a married couple, why differentiate between us? Your room is my room, naturally. I’m tired now, isn’t it only right to go to my room to sleep?"

"..."

Yun Ran didn’t want to deal with him. She grabbed another pillow and hurled it at him, "Don’t bother me. Anyway, this is my room and my bed, don’t even think about it."

"Saying one thing while meaning another. The more you try to drive me away, the more you want me to stay."

Nangong Mo said this, nodding seriously, "Hmm, I understand. Rest assured, I’m not leaving."
