translator: dragon boat translation   editor: dragon boat translation

huangfu ruiling didn’t explain anything. he just smiled at ye lengan, then turned to look at nangong xuyao with icy coldness in his eyes. “young master

nangong, i heard that you treat ye xiyuan so well because she once saved your life, right?”

huangfu ruilings abrupt change of topic made nangong xuyao almost unable to react for a moment, but he quickly said, “that’s right. without xiyuan, i might have died. she’s my lifesaver.”

indeed, a significant part of his affection for ye xiyuan stemmed from the fact that she had once saved him. the debt of gratitude played a significant role in why he had developed feelings for her.

back then, when he thought he was really going to die, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was ye xiyuan. at that time, ye xiyuan was like an angel to him.

when nangong xuyao looked at ye xiyuan beside him, his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if recalling the past.

noticing the gentleness in nangong xuyao’s eyes, ye xiyuan smiled, but she felt guilty inside. because she knew very clearly in her heart whether this life- saving favor was real or fake. when she went to that alley, nangong xuyao’s injuries had already healed completely, and she didn’t know who actually saved him. she had just taken nangong xuyao somewhere else.

when nangong xuyao opened his eyes and saw her, he immediately assumed she was his lifesaver. so she naturally didn’t refute it. she even lied that in order to save nangong xuyao, she had used a very precious medicinal pill given to her previously by a very mysterious old man she had saved.

only she knew that initially, in order to save nangong xuyao, she had spent a lot of points to exchange for a pill from the system. however, that pill could only stop his wounds from bleeding and aid in the recovery of injuries, but it couldn’t instantly heal someone completely. that pill remained untouched, neatly stored in a drawer in her room.

in fact, when she lied to nangong xuyao, she felt very guilty, worried that one day the person who really saved nangong xuyao would suddenly appear and expose all her lies.

but as time passed, no one appeared at all. this made her bolder and bolder, to the point where she even believed that she was indeed nangong xuyao’s lifesaver.

now that huangfu ruiling suddenly brought up this matter, she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart, as if something beyond her control was about to happen.

“hehe,” huangfu ruiling sneered coldly, then continued, “nangong xuyao, i’ll give you a friendly piece of advice. it’s better to thoroughly investigate certain matters. after all, a life- saving favor is not to be taken lightly. don’t end up finding out you had mistaken who saved your life, and all your passion had been poured into the wrong person.”

hearing this, nangong xuyao frowned. “young master huangfu, what do you mean?”

at this moment, all of his attention was on huangfu ruiling, so he didn’t notice that ye xiyuan beside him had frozen up as if frightened by something.

ye xiyuan’s face was deathly pale now. she didn’t know if huangfu ruiling had found out something and that was why he had said such words. or did huangfu ruiling know who nangong xuyao’s real lifesaver was, so he intended to expose it today?

if huangfu ruiling really exposed her lies, what should she do? she could almost imagine that if nangong xuyao found out everything she said was false, all the kindness he had shown her would be taken back.

not only that, nangong xuyao would never tolerate being lied to. if he found out she was a fake lifesaver, would he start taking revenge on her? if nangong xuyao’s current tenderness all turned into sharp blades piercing her, could she withstand it?

the more she thought about it, the more apprehensive ye xiyuan felt. at this moment, her back was drenched in cold sweat. she just wanted to leave this place immediately, to not let huangfu ruiling continue speaking. she couldn’t bear the consequences.

“l didn’t mean anything special.” huangfu ruiling looked deeply at ye xiyuan, the corners of his mouth curled mockingly. “l just feel that life- saving favor is a big deal. if in the end, you find out you had mistaken who saved your life and repaid the wrong person, won’t you become a joke?”

“don’t worry, young master huangfu. i’ve already investigated this matter very clearly, there is absolutely no mistake.”

nangong xuyao didn’t understand what huangfu ruiling meant. he stared fixedly at huangfu ruiling as if wanting to discern some clue from his expression. unfortunately, he could glean nothing.

ye xiyuan dared not even take a deep breath, fearing that any sudden movement might arouse suspicion from nangong xuyao beside her.

“since young master nangong insists, i have nothing more to say.” huangfu ruiling looked at nangong xuyao meaningfully, a profound smile at the corner of his lips. he continued, “i only hope that you can remember every word you said today and not regret it. after all, in this world, there’s no such thing as a cure for regret.”

having said that, he withdrew his gaze and looked at ye leng’an, a hint of fondness in his eyes. “let’s go over there and take a look. there are many snacks over there, you’ll probably like them.”

although ye lengan had many questions in her heart, she did not ask anything. she just nodded and left with huangfu ruiling.

nangong xuyao, who remained in his place, didn’t show any outward signs, but he felt a knot in his heart. he didn’t believe that huangfu ruilings words today were without purpose. clearly, huangfu ruiling knew something, but he was unwilling to speak it outright.

even though nangong xuyao had long ago determined ye xiyuan to be his lifesaver, at this moment he couldn’t help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.

ye xiyuan tried her best to suppress the unease in her heart. she turned and looked at nangong xuyao beside her, saying, “brother nangong, are you suspecting me because of young master huangfu’s words? do you think i wasn’t the one who saved you back then?”

she knew she shouldn’t ask these questions, but she couldn’t control herself and let them slip out. however, at the same time, her heart was filled with fear about what nangong xuyao’s response would be..
