At this moment, Jiang Xuan was completely numb.
He learned from his own scanning system that Nangong Liu Yun’s fondness for him had skyrocketed by tenfold.
But the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of showing up.
Jiang Xuan even started to suspect if Nangong Liu Yun had forgotten about the fact that he still had an fiancé.
On the other side, Nangong Xin Wan spoke with a deadpan face:
“Looks like you’re really infatuated with my sister. Do you think I don’t have any observational skills?
Don’t forget, when you first came to Nangong Mansion, I saw you once. You didn’t notice it yourself?”
While saying this, Nangong Xin Wan gently placed her finger on Jiang Xuan’s thin lips.
“I saw every bit of it clearly,
but you hid it from me, I was planning to give you a chance to submit.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!”
After hearing this, Jiang Xuan remembered that a clumsy Nangong Liu Yun had clumsily declared her dominion not long ago.
The traces left hadn’t completely disappeared yet.
These flaws were clearly noticed by Nangong Xin Wan.
At this point, Nangong Xin Wan continued speaking:
“Dare you play such tricks with me? Do you fear nothing in my retaliation?
Didn’t you notice? Not long ago, a handsome scholar from the Imperial City was defiled by a high-and-mighty noblewoman.
Later, the scholar couldn’t bear the humiliation and took his own life.
Do you want to end up like him?”
Jiang Xuan: “?????”
Just then, Jiang Xuan responded:
“I did hear of this matter. They say the noblewoman is stunningly beautiful. I wonder what good happened to that poor scholar. He must have been lucky…
Oh no, what I mean is, who knew hearts can’t be judged by looks?
A lady of such high status wouldn’t lack in suitors. To force a common man in such a way, it’s really a declining moral.
I believe as a cultivated young lady, Nangong Second Miss, you’d certainly be ashamed of such actions.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan secretly observed Nangong Xin Wan’s reaction.
Realizing she kept her usual pokerface, showing no emotions, he let out a sigh of relief.
However, the last thing Jiang Xuan expected was that Nangong Xin Wan moved even closer.
She looked him up and down.
“I indeed wouldn’t commit such outlandish acts as that noblewoman, but if it was towards you, things would be different.”
“That woman was just starved. A decent-looking scholar isn’t worth much anyway, he’s definitely not your match at all.”
Hearing such praise from Nangong Xin Wan, Jiang Xuan froze for a moment.
Immediately after, he thought to his own system:
“System, am I really that outstanding?”
“Master, you weren’t initially, but when you spent everything on charm, there’s no need to compare strength anymore. When it comes to looks, host, you’ve reached the realm of invincibility.”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
“System, do you really think good looks can keep me fed?”
“No, handsome guys can still starve. Please master, stop asking such lowIQ questions.”
Jiang Xuan: “?????”
Okay okay, my system remains as useless as ever.
After this exchange with the system, Jiang Xuan was startled by the gaze from Nangong Xin Wan.
From her eyes, he could see unhidden passion ready to consume him.
“Uhm… Nangong Second Miss… what do you plan to do next?”
“Scholar Jiang, you smell so nice, it’s the kind that makes me feel at ease.”
Jiang Xuan: “?????”
Before Jiang Xuan could respond, Nangong Xin Wan suddenly pinned his hands down.
“If I cannot have your heart, I’ll have your body first.”
Jiang Xuan internally thought:
[Cue the cliché moments I’ve only read about? Should I go along with it to make Miss not-so-confident feel good about herself?]
[But with that big boss Nangong Liu Yun lurking, she surely won’t just stand idly by. What a waste.]
Sigh, Second Miss is still too weak. Otherwise, I’d experience this firsthand, how proactive she is, it’s the ideal type.
Superficially, Jiang Xuan played along:
“Let..let go! Miss Nangong Second, you can’t do this. If it gets out… ”
“Hmph, what will she do if she finds out? My sister is nothing but a martial arts reject.
Even if she hides her power, I’m not worried; I also have hidden powers.
Not just my sister, even Empress herself couldn’t stop me.”
Jiang Xuan: “…”
Jiang Xuan turned his face to the side, striving to look tragic.
“It won’t happen, I believe Liu Yun will find me, she’ll save me!”
In his heart, he thought:
[No rescue is better, let me calm Second Miss down.]
“You’re truly devoted. Next, don’t beg. I want to see you persist.”
Upon finishing, Nangong Xin Wan slowly lowered her head toward Jiang Xuan.
Just then, a sigh broke through the tension.
“Sigh, that’s enough of this drama, Xin Wan.”
Nangong Xin Wan immediately pressed Jiang Xuan close.
Her gaze turned towards the sound.
Not far away, Nangong Liu Yun’s figure gradually appeared.
“Xin Wan, give him back to me. I know you were just being impulsive.”
“Aha, sister, you’ve been holding back your strength. I didn’t even notice when you approached. Finally, you can stop pretending with your dear sister.”
“Liu Yun, there’s a reason behind this. I’ll explain to you later.”
“Explain? No need. If you want him, you must only win me over!”
The kidnapped Jiang Xuan thought internally:
[What a situation, going out of the blue to complicate it?]
