Chapter 111: Bitter Kiss (1)

For this entire day and night, constantly being hunted, constantly fleeing, facing dangerous situations several times, facing life and death several times, Su Luo's emotions had never faltered. However, faced with Nangong Liuyun's repeated questioning, a sudden, sharp pain flashed across the softest part near her heart.

It was a faint, slow, and dull ache.

Su Luo's calm, deep eyes looked back at Nangong Liuyun. She just watched him shallowly and indifferently, a light, carefree smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she softly spat out two words: "Let go."

Nangong Liuyun gripped Su Luo's hand tightly; not only did he not loosen his hold, but he actually tightened it further. In his ink-black, deep eyes, besides an aggressive, cold Aura, there was a trace of slight palpitation that Su Luo could not fathom.

In the end, it was Su Luo who gave in first. Her nostrils flared slightly as she took a deep breath. Her dark, deep eyes stared unblinkingly at Nangong Liuyun: "Your Highness, I am very sorry to have caused you trouble. However, please rest assured, from now on, Su Luo will not cause you any more trouble!"

Su Luo tried hard to suppress the fluctuations in her emotions, her tone calm and waveless, with a shallow, mocking smile in her beautiful eyes.

He kept saying he was good to her, but when he met his childhood sweetheart, didn't he just discard her directly?

No matter how beautiful the promise, it was ultimately nothing more than this.

Su Luo, oh Su Luo, what are you feeling sad about? Weren't you hurt enough by Yun Qi in your previous life? How could you still naively hope that someone would treat you with their whole heart? It's too ridiculous!

Nangong Liuyun stared quietly at Su Luo, noticing her deliberate aloofness. His expression was frighteningly gloomy, as if he were suppressing an invisible anger. However, upon seeing that self-deprecating sadness—half-crying, half-smiling—on her face, his red lips moved, and his eyes were frighteningly deep.

Finally, his Adam's apple bobbed. Looking at Su Luo with deep eyes, he frowned: "Why are you so worrying? If something happens to you, how can I answer to your Su Residence?"

Su Luo stood rooted to the spot, as exquisite as an ancient Greek sculpture, a faint chill radiating from her whole body.

She raised her eyes to glance sideways at Nangong Liuyun, her smile cold and containing a hint of mockery: "Does Your Highness not understand the situation at the Su Residence? If something were to happen to me, wouldn't that just play right into some people's hands? They would be too grateful to you to ever blame you, wouldn't they?"

Nangong Liuyun gazed deeply at Su Luo, his lips moving slightly. All around them, the air was silent, oppressive, and heavy.

Suddenly, Nangong Liuyun reached out with his long arm and pulled Su Luo heavily into his embrace.

The sudden, tight embrace caught Su Luo off guard. By the time she regained her senses, she was already imprisoned in his arms, unable to move a muscle.

His body trembled slightly, as if he were struggling to suppress the excitement of regaining a peerless treasure.

But, is that possible? A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of Su Luo's mouth.

She wanted to push him away, but discovered that her strength was like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree in front of him; he didn't budge at all.

A flame of anger suddenly surged in Su Luo's heart.
