âStop! Donât cry now and finish what you said earlier. Unless what? What has it got to do with me?â Zheng Yan took two more tissues and sat beside Nian Xiaomu, helping her to wipe her tears away.
Nian Xiaomu grabbed onto her hand, looking at her with puppy eyes filled with tears.
âYou really want me to say it?â
âSay it, â Zheng Yan replied in a domineering tone.
âLetâs get things straight first. Youâre not to get angry,â Nian Xiaomu pushed her luck and requested.
Zheng Yan raised her guard and eyed her from top to toe. Thereafter, realizing that she was not such a person, she replied assuringly, âJust spit it out and cut with the crap. Otherwise, Iâll leave now and you can continue to stay here and cry your eyes out, okay?â
âIâll say it, Iâll say it!â Nian Xiaomu hurriedly held her back. The emotions she had been brewing all this time were all for this moment.
Nian Xiaomu turned and instructed the butler to first brew a cup of Zheng Yanâs favorite rose tea.
She then passed it to her sweetly.
âHave a cup of tea to moisten your throat first.â
Zheng Yan cast a vigilant glance at her before taking the teacup from her and drinking a mouthful of it.
Her phoenix eyes had just curled into a straight line in satisfaction when the following second, she heard Nian Xiaomu mutter, âI want you to help me seduce Mo Yonghengâ¦â
Pfftâ!
The rose tea that Zheng Yan had just drank splattered out from her mouth and all of it landed directly on Nian Xiaomuâs face.
âXiao Mumu⦠Sorry, sorry! I didnât do it on purpose. But, your words were simply too scary. Are you joking with meâ¦â Zheng Yan returned to her senses and hurriedly placed the teacup down. She then took a tissue and reached out to try to wipe Nian Xiaomuâs face for her.
However, Nian Xiaomu grabbed onto her hand and stared at her with her face full of tears and stained with tea, just like a little kitten which had just been picked up from water.
With a pitiful tone and expression, she muttered, âIâm already in this pitiful state, do you think Iâm joking with you?â
It just happened that the butler arrived before them with a hot towel, so Zheng Yan quickly took the towel from him without hesitation and passed it to her.
âLetâs not talk about that now. Hurry and wipe your face first.â
âIâm not wiping unless you promise me that you wonât get angry and that youâll let me finish my words!â Nian Xiaomu responded wilfully.
Only after Zheng Yan had promised her, did she finally take the towel and wipe off all the tea on her face.
Then, she got everyone in the living room to leave.
The tense atmosphere instantly started to fill up the huge space.
Nian Xiaomu turned and stared intently at Zheng Yan without taking her eyes off her.
With that stare of hers, Zheng Yan felt her scalp feeling numb and could feel goosebumps all over her!
She started to shift to a corner of the sofa and placed a cushion before her to shield herself. âIâm warning you, just speak properly and donât look at me like that. I feel like youâre touching me all over with that gaze of yours.â
Nian Xiaomu exclaimed, âPft, pft! Iâm a woman, why would I use my gaze to touch you all over?â
Zheng Yan raised her chest outward to show her gorgeous upper body and raised her eyebrows confidently. âWell, I canât be sure of that. With this face and body of mine, I probably would be able to attract both men and women. Youâve even begun to miss my looks!â
âRight, right, right. Youâre right.â Nian Xiaomu was amused by her words.
After her warning was gone, the two finally composed themselves and Zheng Yan asked her directly, âWhat did you mean by your words earlier? You want me to seduce Mo Yongheng and get you evidence of his adultery so that you can show it to Mr. Mo and cancel the marriage?â
âAm I such a despicable person?â Nian Xiaomu retorted disapprovingly.
Zheng Yan nodded her head without hesitation. âYou are!â
ââ¦â
With her hand on her chest, Nian Xiaomu put on a heartbroken expression. âXiao Yanyan, to think that I love you so much and you actually can doubt my character like that. My heart hurts so much!â
Zheng Yan crossed her arms and darted a cold glance at her. âQuit acting. If you die from the pain, Iâd have helped remove an evildoer from this world.â
