CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 404:

Yun Ran imagined that scene in her head... Her mouth twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes at him with a bit of speechlessness, "Thank you very much! You can keep the head for yourself and admire it slowly!"

Yun Ran: "..."

The man glanced at her reaction and added in a drawn-out tone, "A gentleman helps fulfill others’ wishes. I’ll help him complete his last wish, bringing his head for a final meeting with you."

Yun Ran: "......"

Nangong Mo made a confused "eh" sound, placing his left hand on the swing chair, leaning slightly towards Yun Ran, with an expression hard to decipher, "Yun Xiaoran, after hearing that I’m going to kill him, you’re not nervous, worried, or reluctant at all?"

"Or are you just pretending to be calm when in fact your heart..."

Yun Ran slapped away the hand reaching for her chest, glaring at him with annoyance, "Aren’t you going to kill and silence him? Why are you wasting time here?"

The man rotated the hand that was hit, raising an eyebrow mischievously, with a tone carrying a hint of regret, "Look how nervous you are! I just wanted to feel your heartbeat to see if you were lying, not to do anything to you."

"..."

Yun Ran was momentarily at a loss for words, her face slightly reddening. The way he said it made it seem like she had impure thoughts and got the wrong idea?

The man suddenly leaned closer, his handsome face almost touching her cheek, his voice low and alluring, ambiguously suggestive, "Aran, did you just think I wanted to..."

Yun Ran gasped, quickly backing away a few steps, urgently interrupting him, "Nangong Mo! You scoundrel!"

Unexpectedly, as she retreated, he approached even closer, until she was pressed against the swing chair with nowhere to retreat. Only then did he chuckle lowly, tilting his head to let his thin lips graze her earlobe, teasing in a low voice:

"Does Aran know best whether I’m toothless or not? Or does Aran want to feel it once more?"

Yun Ran: "???"

Shocked! Stunned! Angry! Want to kill someone!

[What is that bastard saying?!]

[How could he... how could he... be shameless to such an extent!!!]

At this moment, the devil’s voice sounded again.

"Looks like Aran really wants it, in that case, I will..."

"You bastard! Go to hell!"

In a split second, watching someone’s outstretched claw and approaching handsome face, Yun Ran kicked straightforwardly towards the waist and belly...

Luckily, Nangong Mo reacted quickly and nimbly to barely dodge that vicious kick, but he still felt lingering fear.

"Yun, Xiao, Ran!"

The man gritted his teeth, his handsome face a bit darkened, also a trace of resentment, "Are you trying to murder your own husband?"

"Serves you right!"

Yun Ran snorted coldly, casting a cool glance at him, "If you keep spouting nonsense, being shameless and unprincipled, next time it won’t be just a kick!"

"I’ll give you a sword instead!"

Nangong Mo: "......"

What did I do wrong?

I’m just feeling wronged, that’s all!

Even if there’s no past to continue with Shen Mubai, it’s a fact that the dead girl had someone write a letter of dismissal to make room!

Can’t I feel a bit wronged?

Besides, the dead girl even said she liked Shen Mubai! Though it was fake, why couldn’t she say she likes me instead?

The more Nangong Mo thought about it, the darker his expression became, not just darkened, there was killing intent swirling!

Then, he got up instantly and left.

Watching his murderous-looking back, Yun Ran instinctively asked, "Hey, where are you going?"

The man turned around, smiled coldly, showing his white teeth, "To kill Shen Mubai!"
