After returning to the palace, Nangong Lin threw Liu Zhixue, who was in his arms, to the servant girl. His action was so decisive that there was not a trace of regret.

Yan Xiaoxi, who had personally witnessed this scene, could not help but feel that Nangong Lin's actions were strange?

The cold expression on Nangong Lin's face was in stark contrast to his nervous and fearful reaction just now. There must be some clues to it that Yan Xiaoxi quickly realized. She squinted her eyes and looked at the unconscious Liu Zhixue with her clear eyes.

At the same time, she also felt a sense of doubt. Did she work so hard, dared to ignore her own life, or did she do it for love, or for herself, or for not losing to her, for Princess Lin's position, or to prove that Nangong Lin loved her, the answer that only Liu Zhixue herself knew best.

However, she seemed to have fallen into Liu Zhixue's trap. There was something between Liu Zhixue and Nangong Lin that she did not know about. Because of this secret, she had lost to Nangong Lin.

In this gamble, there was a gamble. This gamble was not about anything. Instead, it was about Nangong Lin, a living person.

"Xi Er." Nangong Lin waved his hand in front of Yan Xiaoxi's eyes.

Yan Xiaoxi snapped out of her daze, opening her mouth to apologize, "Little Linlin, I'm sorry."

"What happened?" Currently, Yan Xiaoxi's performance was abnormal in Nangong Lin's eyes.

She did not get angry and ignore him, nor did she run away from home, nor did she lose her temper. Instead, she was so calm that not even a hint of anger could be seen from her body.

He thought that Yan Xiaoxi would definitely misunderstand this matter and had already prepared herself for an explanation. However, Yan Xiaoxi's current actions caused him to be extremely surprised.

Could it be that she was already completely disappointed in him, and her heart felt like it was on the verge of death, which was why she was so uncharacteristically calm?

"Little Lin Lin no longer belongs to me." Yan Xiaoxi bit her red lips, feeling vexed in her heart.

She should have long thought that Liu Zhixue's methods were not that simple.

It was her that was too arrogant and conceited. She knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, yet she still chose to walk in the same direction. In the end, she was the one who brought about her own destruction.

What did that mean?

Nangong Lin frowned as he looked at Yan Xiaoxi's dejected face. He didn't think too much as he explained, "Xi Er, my mother's wife died from drowning."

What?

Yan Xiaoxi really didn't know about this.

She was slightly stunned as she looked at Nangong Lin in astonishment. She quickly figured out the cause of this matter.

Liu Zhixue had been a scar for him since the death of his mufei had occurred in Nangong Lin's heart. In order to achieve her goal, she had used this point to ruthlessly use Nangong Lin's memory to bring up the scene where Nangong Lin left her to save Liu Zhixue.

It had to be said that Liu Zhixue was very smart, but also very smart. If the person Nangong Lin had chosen at that time was Yan Xiaoxi, then the current Liu Zhixue would have suffered in the 18 Hells of Hell a long time ago.

She had done such a bad thing, and she was so vicious that she would definitely reach the eighteenth level of hell.

Under such circumstances, Nangong Lin's mind was filled with images of his mother's death. Of course, he did not even think before rushing to Liu Zhixue's side.

"I believe in you, little Linlin. You don't need to explain anything, I have believed in you from the very beginning." Yan Xiaoxi had once said that no matter what happened, she had to trust Nangong Lin. This time, she had succeeded.

"Xi Er." Nangong Lin excitedly embraced Yan Xiaoxi in his embrace. Hearing these words, he finally understood why there wasn't the slightest hint of doubt in her eyes. It was because she believed in him.

"But, Little Linlin, I've done something stupid." Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help but want to find a piece of tofu and smash it to death when she thought of that bet.

"Why?"

"I'll bet with Liu Zhixue."

"Right."

"I lost." Yan Xiaoxi lowered her head, forcing the word out of her mouth with great difficulty …

"And?" Nangong Lin felt that something was wrong with Yan Xiaoxi.

"The stakes are high."

"No problem, give it to her."

"But …" Yan Xiaoxi wanted to say something, but she hesitated. How was she going to tell Nangong Lin that their wager was related to him?

"Xi Er, don't stutter." Nangong Lin could also see that Yan Xiaoxi was in a difficult situation. He couldn't help but feel curious. What exactly was their wager?

Yan Xiaoxi grabbed onto Nangong Lin's clothes and tightly tugged on it. She asked with a pitiful expression, "You won't blame me will you?"

"Nope." Nangong Lin replied in a very straightforward manner.

"The wager is on you." Yan Xiaoxi poked Nangong Lin's chest.

Me? He would make a bet with Yan Xiaoxi and Liu Zhixue. Wasn't this woman usually very smart? Where did all my rationality go today? Despite knowing it was a trap, he still foolishly jumped into it.

"Woman, you're getting bolder and bolder." Nangong Lin narrowed his eyes, his gaze ice-cold.

"Little Lin Lin, I thought you had won for sure, it's all your fault, who let you save Liu Zhixue." Although there was a reason for this, Yan Xiaoxi was still unhappy. He had caused her to lose.

Nangong Lin was at a loss for words. What Yan Xiaoxi said was the truth, and he had no way to refute her.

"How will you make a bet with This King?" Nangong Lin could tell that Yan Xiaoxi hadn't even spoken. It seemed like the secret that was even more explosive was still behind it.

"Little Lin Lin, wuu wuu." Yan Xiaoxi really didn't want to say the following words out loud.

"Speak." Nangong Lin stared at Yan Xiaoxi, scaring her so much that she stopped crying.

As long as he knew everything, he would be able to think of ways to help Yan Xiaoxi and try to save her. Liu Zhixue had already returned to the palace, and he believed that she would wake up a long time ago.

Other than him, there was no one else who could hurt Yan Xiaoxi. Even if he wanted to make her unhappy, he couldn't.

"If I lose, I'll let you marry Liu Zhixue." Yan Xiaoxi timidly looked at Nangong Lin. She could imagine that his reaction upon hearing those words would be anger, surprise, and disbelief.

Yan Xiaoxi also regretted using this as a wager. She had agreed to it as soon as her head turned hot.

Sigh!

He was still too confident!

"Then you've lost now." Nangong Lin was truly driven mad by Yan Xiaoxi. Everything she did was so crazy, she knew that Liu Zhixue would not do something that she had no confidence in, but she still fell into her trap.

At this moment, Nangong Lin even suspected whether the decision to let Liu Zhixue flow down the mountain for Yan Xiaoxi to play with was the right one or the wrong one. In the end, who would toy with who to kill?

"Little Lin Lin, you cannot marry Liu Zhixue." Yan Xiaoxi suddenly threw herself into Nangong Lin's embrace, her entire body tightly sticking to his well-built body. She hugged him tightly, as if Nangong Lin would disappear in front of her the moment she let go.

Nangong Lin was very satisfied with Yan Xiaoxi's passionate response. He had already thought of a countermeasure and wanted to tell Yan Xiaoxi that he had changed his mind. He joked, "But you've lost. If you go back on your word, Liu Zhixue will look down on you."

"I don't care." Yan Xiaoxi had a knack for being shameless.

"Rest assured, I will not marry Liu Zhixue." Nangong Lin comforted Yan Xiaoxi by patting her back.

"Really." Yan Xiaoxi widened her eyes as she awaited Nangong Lin's answer.

"Right." Nangong Lin agreed.

"Little Linlin." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin with tears in her eyes. He was truly too good to her.

As long as Nangong Lin agreed to not marry Liu Zhixue, she would be at ease. As for the bet, she could pretend nothing happened.
