The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning grinned: "Thank you, that's too polite."

"Eat this as your best reward to me. After that, have a good sleep. Don't think about anything else. Just recuperate here with me!"

He opened a tonic, which contained red dates and ginseng slices, excellent for replenishing qi and blood.

Ning Xiu took it and choked up and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're still saying thank you?" Guan Ning glared.

Ning Xiu was aggrieved, her long hair hanging down. After getting rid of Zhao Yi's control, she looked even more beautiful: "I, I won't say anything more."

"That's right, eat. Do you want some water?"

"I'll do it myself."

"No, no, no, auntie, let me do it. Be careful not to fall again." Guan Ning said.

Ning Xiu's sad mood finally turned into laughter at this moment. Guan Ning was like a ray of light that suddenly appeared when she was at her lowest and most painful, illuminating everything for her.

She reached out and gently placed the red dates in her mouth. She had never felt that there was anything so sweet in the world, so she ate a lot of it, and her tear-stained face showed a friendly smile.

"Come, drink some water, don't choke." Guan Ning handed it over.

Ning Xiu's face flushed slightly. She supported herself with one hand and tilted her head back to drink water. The slight sound of swallowing water filled the quiet room, making the atmosphere a little awkward.

Guan Ning looked at her neck. There were no scars there, and it was very delicate and white. Out of a man's psychology, he couldn't help but glance down again.

Because Ning Xiu tilted her head back, there was a slight gap in her loose long dress below her collarbone, and a clear "groove" could be seen through the gap.

Even though it was dark at this moment, through the dim light, you could still vaguely see some of the girl's pink and white skin.

Gulu!

The sound of Guan Ning swallowing his saliva was particularly obvious.

Ning Xiu felt his gaze and turned pale: "Ah!"

She screamed and immediately covered her chest, feeling a little ashamed and angry.

Guan Ning realized that he was discovered and cried out in his heart, "Oh no!" He thought quickly and immediately put his hands together towards her.

Ning Xiu was stunned for a moment, and gently grasped the small jade Buddha pendant around her neck with her right hand. Did she wrongly accuse him?

"You, you believe in Buddhism?"

Guan Ning's old face flushed, and he blurted out with great determination: "Believe it!"

"But, but didn't you say last time at Jing'an Temple that you didn't believe in Buddhism?" Ning Xiu was unsure.

"Sometimes I believe it, sometimes I don't." Guan Ning didn't even blink.

Seeing this, Ning Xiu finally believed it and comforted herself in her heart. What was she thinking? How could Guan Ning be that kind of person?

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, I am a woman who has been someone else's concubine, and I am overthinking it when I see a prince with such good conditions like Guan Ning.

"My mother gave this to me. She said it would keep me safe. I've been wearing it since I was a kid."

"Guan Ning, let me give it to you." She pursed her red lips and suddenly said seriously.

Guan Ning quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no!"

"How dare I take the relic your mother gave you?"

"Besides, I don't really believe in Buddhism. I just think this pair of jade Bodhisattvas are very white... Ugh!"

He slapped himself in the face and almost let the cat out of the bag.

"I mean, this jade Buddha is so beautiful that I felt respect and bowed to it. Yes, that's it!"

Although Ning Xiu was a woman, she was essentially a pretty girl and was easily fooled.

"Okay, but...but I have nothing now, and my identity is not quite suitable. Will it be okay for me to live with you..." She hesitated to speak, frowning.

Guan Ning glared: "Here we go again!"

"You're talking as if you have to do me some good just because you live here!"

"Sister Ning, you don't treat me as your own!"

Ning Xiu was uneasy: "Yes, I'm sorry, Guan Ning, I didn't mean that."

"Then don't say anything. I have the final say. You just stay here peacefully. The Zhao family has collapsed, and you are alone and helpless. I will support you!" Guan Ning said domineeringly.

When Ning Xiu heard this, her body trembled and tears inexplicably overflowed from her eyes. When she looked at Guan Ning again, there was something different in the depths of her eyes.

"..."

It was already You time when I came out of Ning Xiu's room.

Seeing that she could eat and was in a much better mood, Guan Ning felt relieved.
