Chapter 574: Little Abuse and Pleasure 13

After seeing Imperial Physician Li off, Su Luo stared blankly at Nangong Liuyun, her eyes filled with extreme heartache as she looked at him.

Waves of guilt washed over Nangong Liuyun's heart.

Just as he was struggling with whether or not to reveal the truth, Su Luo's next action completely made him abandon the idea.

Su Luo sat beside him, her arms wrapped around his slender waist, and her cheek pressed against his strong, beating heart.

Nangong Liuyun's body stiffened.

Although he often hugged and embraced Luo Yatou, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to hug him.

Nangong Liuyun's words, which were about to come out, naturally slid back down into his stomach.

Su Luo listened to his steady, powerful heartbeat, her voice carrying a hint of gentle tenderness: "Tonight, I'll stay and keep you company."

Nangong Liuyun's body trembled again.

He had never expected that this trick of faking illness would be so effective!

When she had fed him earlier, it was originally Su Luo who had said those words, which had sparked his inspiration and made him think of this trick to keep her.

But he hadn't expected that he wouldn't need to act at all afterward; his Luo Yatou had already cooperatively taken over the rest.

It was just that, deep down, Nangong Liuyun was scared…

If his Luo Yatou knew the truth… just thinking about it made his heart tremble, yet also filled him with anticipation.

"What's wrong? Is your heart still uncomfortable?" Su Luo keenly sensed his body trembling and anxiously pushed him away. "What exactly is wrong?"

"My chest…" He was scared. Nangong Liuyun gazed at her with a pained look. He was afraid that after the truth was discovered, Su Luo would never speak to him again.

"Your chest hurts again? Oh, why do you have so many troubles? The illness in your leg hasn't been cured yet, and now you have a problem with your chest." Su Luo looked at him with endless sympathy and great pity.

Nangong Liuyun truly made her heart ache so much that Su Luo decided she must take good care of him in the coming days.

Under the gaze of her clear black and white eyes, no matter how thick-skinned Nangong Liuyun was, he felt guilty.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but found he didn't know where to start.

"All right, don't talk anymore. Lie down and rest well." Su Luo helped him lie down with concern, gently covering him with the blanket. "Don't worry, I'll stay by your side and take care of you until you're well. Get a good night's sleep."

Nangong Liuyun was as obedient as a child, just quietly watching her, letting her do as she pleased with him.

Looking at the innocent and bewildered Nangong Liuyun, Su Luo felt a slight pang in her heart.

The Prince Jin, who was once so arrogant and formidable, was now lying weakly in bed, his breath faint as a thread, truly making one's heart ache.

Under Su Luo's gaze, which was filled with heartache and sorrow, Nangong Liuyun finally realized he had gone too far…

When the truth was exposed… would Su Luo pierce him with a thousand arrows? Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

He simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Night fell, and darkness enveloped the surroundings.

Servants had already lit the candles in the room.

The night grew deeper.

Su Luo still sat by Nangong Liuyun's bedside, quietly gazing at him.

The lines on his face were resolute and strong, with the most perfect contours and exquisite features. Combined, this face was simply like a painting or a poem, a countenance that could captivate the world, making people fall into a trance and find it impossible to pull themselves away.

The more she looked, the more captivating he became; the more she looked, the more she was drawn in.

Staring at Nangong Liuyun's peaceful sleeping face, Su Luo watched him intently, her eyes holding a fascination and intoxication that she herself hadn't even noticed.

Nangong Liuyun maintained steady breathing, but in reality, he had never been asleep.
