The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 121

"You know, I can't taste anything. There is no difference between fine wine and white water." Su Min smiled with his lips drawn, and there was no sharp thorn in his words, because he did not feel any hostility from Nangong Zheng today.

Just treat it like an ordinary businessman, she doesn't want to reveal her inner emotions easily.

Suddenly there was a gentle force from her hand, she couldn't help being slightly startled, and lowered her head, only to see that Nangong Zheng had already grabbed her catkin with one hand and would not let go.

Although she didn't intend to let go, it wasn't like the experience she had had before. Her hand hurt so much that she could feel him pulling her to her side, and her right hand slipped down soundlessly.

There was a burst of emptiness at her hand, she slightly pursed her pink lips, and stopped looking at him.Because when she thought of the profound meaning of Ruyi mentioned by her grandfather, her mood was just as complicated and difficult to discern.

He didn't mean that, he just randomly chose a rare and expensive gift, how could he think of making her happy?
Wasn't he the one who abused and tortured her in every possible way before?

It is impossible for people to change so completely.

Many temperaments are deeply rooted.

Nan Gongzheng glanced at her silently, seeing her drooping eyebrows, her heart tightened, even at this moment, she didn't even want to look at him.

Recalling that day when he beat Lu Qingyang, she ran to support that man without thinking too much. It was this kind of decision without thinking that made him see her heart clearly.

"As you wish." Nangong Zheng gently lifted her face with one hand, and gently poured the wine from the cup held in the other hand into her mouth, with deep eyes. "Have a drink."

The wine slipped into her tongue, she had no preparations, so she almost choked, coughed lightly, repeated that sentence vaguely, her heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. "As I wish?"

The faint aroma of wine overflowed from her mouth, and Nangong Zheng's gaze silently locked on her crystal face, her cheeks were slightly flushed from drinking, and her moist pink lips seemed to make people unable to resist kissing her fragrance.

Thinking in this way, a blazing heat that was difficult for others to detect flashed in his eyes.

"I'm here to say goodbye." Nan Gongzheng was silent for a while, then put down the wine glass he was holding tightly in his hand, and opened his mouth slowly.

Su Min couldn't believe her ears, she was almost ready to confront him alone today, but what did he tell her just now?
What he said was that he said goodbye to her and was about to leave Los Angeles!
Pulling the embroidered skirt tightly under the round table with one hand, Su Min reacted, often let out a sigh of relief, smiled and bent her eyebrows, with a soft expression: "It's great, we can finally return to our original lives."

With her empty right hand, she finally raised the jug, poured herself a glass, and looked at Nangong Zheng with a smile.

"Yes, for us, it's all good news worth celebrating. My lord, I'll have a toast with you."

She couldn't see any loneliness, all that was on her face was pure and beautiful joy. This scene was reflected in Nan Gongzheng's eyes, and it instantly became an indelible mark.

Seeing that Nangong Zheng no longer raised his wine glass, she drank it down with a smile, without feeling any discomfort at all.Even under Nangong Zheng's seemingly cold but more fiery gaze, she naturally accepted it with pleasure.

"Although I'm not someone who repays grievances with kindness, I don't want to mention everything before. Now I can settle down and accompany the prince to have this meal, and after drinking this pot of wine, I should tell the prince to take care all the way." She looked calm. He poured a glass of wine for Nangong Zheng, without any abnormality, and finished speaking very calmly.

Seeing that the wine glass was overflowing, she stopped her hands. Nan Gongzheng looked at the full wine glass and couldn't help yearning for it, as if the fragrance on her sleeves had also stained every breath of Nan Gongzheng.

When her eyes dimmed, she noticed his different silence from before, and pondered the reason why he didn't drink. The past was vivid in her memory, and she couldn't help laughing out loud. "The prince is probably afraid, I'll poison you again."

Seeing the smile on her lips, he felt a dull pain in his chest, his voice was low, and his eyes were full of strange expressions. "There's no need to smile at me like that."

"This smile is not hypocritical, it's sincere... Now that I have regained my identity as Su Min, I want to live a peaceful and worry-free life. I laugh when I am happy, cry when I am sad, and do whatever I want." Su Min seemed to be aware of it. Seeing the seriousness of his tone, but still unable to see through his heart, he poured himself a glass of wine and talked nonchalantly.

It's a sincere smile.

Thinking of her words in his heart, Nangong Zheng smiled, he was not used to being seen by anyone, even now.

His handsome eyebrows were raised slightly, and his demeanor was a little loose, but it made that evil and handsome face look even more charming and dangerous. "This king is leaving, are you so happy?"

"Anyway, the prince has decided to leave. Since I am going to the appointment, of course I want to greet people with a smile. There is a saying among our businessmen that if you don't hit people with smiles, the prince should have heard it." She smiled unabated. Respond quickly.

The next moment, as if to prove that she hadn't done anything with the wine after entering the door, she brought the wine glass close to her pink lips, and took a sip. The sweet and hot taste rolled and spread in her stomach, as if to shake her whole body. It burns normally.

Nangong Zheng also raised his wine glass, looked into those clear eyes, raised his head, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Drinking on an empty stomach hurts your health. Since you have ordered so many delicious dishes, why don't you just look at them?" Su Min only knew why it was so unnatural to be looked at by him today. She didn't want each other to be drowned in silence. Can be the first to break the embarrassing and difficult silence.

He was about to leave, it seemed that she had finally let go of her defenses, and her tone and expression instantly softened.Nangong Zheng didn't know whether he should continue to look at such a natural Su Min, lock her figure and expression into his heart, or feel angry, after all, what she longed for in her heart was actually his departure.

More indecipherable emotions poured into his black eyes, his expression was still alienated and indifferent, and he lightly dropped three words. "you eat."

"Then you're welcome." Su Min looked at him with a gentle smile.

In the eyes that smiled and bent his eyebrows, he saw a bit of warmth, although it was not as good as her unreserved attitude towards Lu Qingyang, at least it was no longer the cold, arrogant and aggressive in the past.

That kind of warmth seemed to be enough to resolve the misunderstanding between each other, and he couldn't help asking himself, if the warmth overflowed again, it would melt his cold heart.

If so, that's horrible.

That seems to be able to restrain him more than a sharp sword.

Su Min held the chopsticks in her hand and picked up a piece of Tang crispy pork ribs. She once remembered that she loved this dish very much when she was a child, but now, she has long forgotten the taste of it.

She chewed the taste of ribs carefully, with an elegant demeanor, drinking soup, eating, and picking up vegetables, her eyes sparkled slightly.

Although every movement is very like the demeanor of a young lady cultivated with gold and silver, it is a little more real and satisfying than those pretentious women.

She just scooped out a mouthful of plain rice, making one almost suspect that what she swallowed was the most delicious fish and bird's nest.

"You acted very realistically. When outsiders see this scene, they will only think that this delicacy is so delicious and make people salivate." Nan Gongzheng said calmly, the wrinkles on the eyebrows stretched out at some point Come.

"Three meals a day, to me, are the same as eating grass, but I don't want others to see through. Over the years, I have naturally developed a set of skills to protect myself." She didn't look up, and held the spoon in her hand , Gently blowing cold, and then took a sip of mushroom chicken soup, and finally responded to his doubts when he was satisfied.

Although the process of her eating made people move their index fingers, she only ate half a bowl of rice and moved a few chopsticks.

Nangong Zheng looked at her with a smile, paying attention to how full she was when she put down her chopsticks. It seemed that at that moment, he was also infected and hungry.

"There's so little to eat."

When Su Min heard this, a very sad color flashed in her black and white eyes, but it didn't take long for her to pretend again, and said softly. "Life is like eating. I learned early on that I eat very little food and don't have so much desire for anything, so my appetite is easily full."

There was a double chill in what she said, and Nangong Zheng naturally understood it, and didn't say anything more.

Su Min was almost tormented by today's strange silence and couldn't think. Before he was about to leave, he was quietly different. She didn't understand what changed him. "Have you been poisoned recently?"

Finally, she thought of a question she was more concerned about, raised her bright eyes, looked straight at his handsome face, and asked without any concealment.

"Why do you ask this?" His black eyes sank, he picked up the chopsticks and ate dinner, and then stopped answering her doubts.

His noncommittal and indifferent reaction made her still unable to figure out whether it was true or not.

"I heard from grandpa that the poison will be very painful when it happens, you." Hesitating extremely, Su Min didn't know how to end this topic, he was in a dilemma.

In the next moment, Nangong Zheng returned to his original elegant evil smile in a blink of an eye, which seemed unpredictable. "If you're afraid that I won't survive a toxic attack and die, will you blame yourself for the rest of your life?"

"Why should I blame myself for the rest of my life?" Su Min hurriedly retorted, not knowing whether it was because of the edification of the wine, or because of too much urgency, she raised her voice to refute.

"Won't it?" His black eyes were burning like the best black jade inlaid, locking all of Su Min's reactions, her anxious and angry appearance hurt his heart, but she looked innocent , and charming.

Su Min was dissatisfied with his questioning and implied accusations, because of anger, those clear water eyes became brighter and brighter than the stars in the sky.She pointed at Nan Gongzheng, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You have never felt uneasy about your treatment of me before. Are you going to blame yourself for the rest of your life? Of course you won't! The reason why I gave poison by mistake is You forced it too."
