The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning shuddered, his eyes showing a hint of admiration. A woman in ancient times who could have such thoughts must have been extraordinary.

Then he smiled and said, "Marriage doesn't mean you have to be dependent on a man. Love is a matter between two people, two hearts together. When you're sad, you have someone to talk to. When you're bored, you have someone to play with. When you're helpless, you have someone to rely on. Even if you're enemies with the whole world, even if you're cold and hungry, you'll still support each other. This is the true meaning of marriage."

“It’s not about possession and vanity, nor is it about getting an object.”

“There are millions of words in the world, but only love is the most moving.”

"do you understand?"

Lou Xinyue was moved by these sudden words. Her beautiful phoenix eyes fell into a brief trance. Her red lips under the veil were a little dazed. She murmured to herself, "There are millions of words in the world, but only the word 'love' is the most moving."

Guan Ning laughed again and said, "Also, your personality is too aloof and cold, just like a sword that is too hard. A hard sword is easy to break. It's just that you met me. If it were someone else, you would most likely suffer a great loss."

He said it half jokingly and half seriously, but with great sincerity.

Lou Xinyue's almond-shaped eyes flickered. She was a little moved at this moment, with some indescribable feeling. This was not the first time she heard this sentence. The last person who said this was a learned old man.

But Guan Ning is only in his early twenties.

After a long silence, her eyes softened: "That's why I prefer to be alone."

"If I make you unhappy, we won't meet again after we complete this cooperation." She was rare in her calmness, and this was also Lou Xinyue's way of expressing her apology.

Guan Ning suddenly laughed and said, "Tsk tsk tsk."

"Huh?" Lou Xinyue looked at him, her eyes flashing like lightning.

"I didn't expect Miss Lou could say such soft words. Don't worry, I'm not angry, hahaha!" Guan Ning laughed heartlessly. He could be as profound as a wise man in the last second and as unrestrained as a dandy in the next second.

Lou Xinyue's expression changed instantly. The touch she had just felt disappeared instantly. Her eyes turned cold. She felt that her kindness was being mocked. Her voice was as cold as frost: "Do you think I have a good temper?"

Suddenly, the air around her suddenly cooled down, and her black hair fluttered like a female devil.

Guan Ning shuddered, sensing that the woman was really angry, and immediately took a step back strategically: "Woman, how can you not take a joke?"

"Hmph!" Lou Xinyue snorted. She didn't know why, but she felt disgusted the moment she saw Guan Ning's face!

"How long will it take?" she asked bluntly.

"Zi Shi, if nothing unexpected happens, I can get it at Zi Shi."

"When you say that, I have a feeling something unexpected is going to happen." Lou Xinyue said softly.

Guan Ning's mouth twitched. Isn't this a crow's mouth? He clasped his hands together and muttered, "No taboos, no taboos..."

As time passed, the lights of thousands of homes gradually turned into empty streets. The capital city implemented a semi-curfew. After the hour of midnight, ordinary people were prohibited from going out on the streets, and only soldiers were on patrol.

Guan Ning had been guarding the high building, paying attention to every move in the Zhao Mansion and hardly moved.

Lou Xinyue was the same, standing still like an old monk.

The two people under the moon are like people in a painting.

In absolute silence, midnight has finally arrived!

There were only dim lights in Zhao's house, most of which had been extinguished, and no one was moving around. The back alley was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue appeared here at the same time, and the wild cat deep in the alley was scared away.

"The person hasn't come out yet, and a quarter of an hour has passed." Lou Xinyue said solemnly.

Guan Ning frowned, also having a bad feeling: "Wait a little longer, maybe Miss Ning has been delayed."

Lou Xinyue nodded, and the two of them waited in the alley for another quarter of an hour, but Ning Xiu still didn't show up. You know, it was almost half an hour past the agreed time.

"Let's go!" Guan Ning made a prompt decision.

"Go in?" Lou Xinyue's eyes widened.

"Yes!" Guan Ning's face was grim, worried that Ning Xiu had an accident. This woman had suffered a lot, and if something happened to her for helping him, he would feel guilty.
