The wolf was fierce.
However, in front of her, he preferred to suppress all his fierceness.
His eyes were gentle, and a light smile played upon his lips.
âThen, Iâll wait for you outside.â
His voice was soft. Nan Chiyou pursed her lips and did not say anything. She quietly sighed in relief after the young man left the room.
The young man stood at the door, without words, like her guardian.
***
From a distance, Murong Qing saw the young man standing outside of Nan Chiyouâs room. He froze for a moment, and his face sank. He then sternly shouted, âWho are you? Why did you barge into my manor without my permission?â
The young man glanced at Murong Qing coldly and expressionlessly, as if he did not care.
A cold light flashed in Murong Qingâs eyes. âWho the hell are you? What do you want to do to Maiden Xia Xia?â
Every time Murong Qing said one more word, the young manâs face sank more.
Did he have bad intentions toward Xia Xia?
Although this might be true...
âGet lost!â the young man said coldly as if it was a waste of time to talk to Murong Qing.
Murong Qing waved his hand expressionlessly. âGuard, catch him now!â
Instantly, countless guards came from behind him and surrounded the young man, trapping him in the middle.
The young man glanced at those people before him, the corners of his lips gradually lifted into a cold smile.
His smile flooded with frigidness, which sent a chill down peopleâs spine.
However, at that moment, the door of the room slowly opened.
Nan Chiyou appeared at the door with a fretful expression; her tiny face became tightly tensed. âWhat are you doing outside?â
Murong Qingâs face eased up when he saw Nan Chiyou. He turned to look at her and said, âXia Xia, he...â
âOh, this is Ah Ming.â
âAh Ming?â
The moment he heard that name, Murong Qingâs expression stiffened. His eyes turned to the young man, surprised.
âHeâs Ah Ming?
âThat wolf?â
Now, he finally understood why that wolf always looked at him with resentment in its eyes.
It must be that he had ill intentions toward Maiden Xia Xia.
âNan Ming...â Murong Qing looked up at the young man and smiled disdainfully. âI donât care about your intentions, and I wonât give in. Besides, you are just a wolf.â
âMaiden Xia Xia will not like a wolf...â
The young man looked at Murong Qing coldly. âXia Xiaâs surname is Nan.â
Murong Qing was stunned.
âMy surname is also Nan.â
The young man remained calm, but a cold light in his eyes made people shiver.
âSo, do you think Iâm up to something?â
Murong Qing was dumbfounded. âThis guy got the surname because Maiden Xia Xia thought that he was a wolf...â
âYou...â
âMurong Qing...â Nan Chiyou smiled and looked at Murong Qing. âDo you hate Ah Ming? If you donât like him, weâll leave your manor tonight.â
Murong Qing panicked. He quickly held back all his anger and smiled gently.
The smile was a little fake...
âMaiden Xia Xia, donât misunderstand me. I just saw a strange man at your door and was afraid that he might do something untoward to you.â
