This type of posture was a deliberate snub, rejecting all conversation.
Her expression was nonchalant, like clouds on the horizon. It was so remote and distant, making Su Luo seem unreachable.
Nangong Liuyun’s expression was brooding. as his complexion slowly darkened.
Su Luo was attempting to straighten her body when suddenly a large shadow enveloped her entire person.
She unconsciously opened her eyes.
Before Su Luo could focus, unexpectedly she was confined within Nangong Liuyun’s embrace. His slender fingers glided over her face and paused between her lips.
Her lips were exceptionally beautiful. They were light in color, moist and plump, evoking the phrase ‘suitable to be kissed’.
Nangong Liuyun leaned down. His beautiful, perfect, and thin lips kissed Su Luo’s lightly colored lips.
But, Su Luo firmly pushed him away.
“Are you still blaming this king?” Nangong Liuyun asked in a low voice, his scorching gaze fixated on her.
Su Luo was wordlessly silent.
“Angry at this king for abandoning you that day?” Nangong Liuyun’s voice was clearly cold.
Su Luo remained silent.
Within the carriage, there was a period of silence.
After what seemed to be a long time, Nangong Liuyun delivered some words in explanation. “She and this king grew up together. She saved this king’s life once. There are some matters that you don’t understand and are unlikely to understand…”
Su Luo opened her eyes and shot him an offhand glance. All of a sudden, the corner of her mouth hooked into a taunting smile and she asked in a contrary manner, “Right, how could I blame you?”
What Nangong Liuyun intended to say was choked off by her words. A look of astonishment containing complicated feelings flashed across his eyes. This prompted him to return to his frequent habit of staring at Su Luo.
Su Luo lifted her eyebrows, giving him a smile that was not a smile. “What qualifications do I have to blame you? Like you said, the two of you have been together since childhood. You are childhood sweethearts with mutual trust. You have saved each other’s lives. We are only strangers who came together by chance and have between us a few short days of friendship. Therefore, how could I blame you?”
