Queen, don't be too arrogant

Chapter 146 Could it be that you fell in love with me (5)
Xie Jingran looked at him in bewilderment, not knowing what question he was asking.It's just that Murong Xuanyan really didn't lie to her, Nangong Jinghong really came, so the most important concern now is how to get the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant smoothly!
Seeing her puzzled expression, he smiled bitterly: "That's right, you are the queen of Qin, it would be a very strange thing if the emperor didn't treat you like that. In fact, why should I have such extravagant demands? To me, you are like an elf that can never be controlled, people can only follow you, but they can never really own you! And the emperor should understand this..."

His tone was a bit bitter, and Xie Jingran's heart ached a little when he heard it.But what he said made her even more puzzled.

Was the so-called rumor he said spread by Murong Xuanyan, the fake news that she and he were already married?
Seeing that Xie Jingran was silent, he hugged her nervously again: "Of course, but I don't care! I really don't care about this matter at all. No matter what, my heart will never change in the slightest. Please believe me I……"

Hearing his words, Xie Jingran suddenly felt an uncontrollable bitterness in her heart, and she didn't know how to answer, so that the pain in his heart would disappear forever.

He has such deep affection for her, even though it is rumored that she and Murong Xuanyan are married, he still loves her so deeply, what about her?Then she deceived and used him, and approached him only for the purpose of obtaining the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant, isn't it a little too despicable and shameless?
Xie Jingran suddenly didn't dare to look at him, she just lowered her head and murmured: "Jinghong, thank you so much..."

But apart from this sentence, Xie Jingran couldn't say anything else.Does she like him?She didn't know, and she didn't want to find out, so she could only say this to him, hoping that the guilt in her heart would be alleviated.

"Of course, why do you want to say thank you to me!"

He hugged her even tighter, almost rubbing her into his body: "Of course, I did everything voluntarily, so you don't have to say thank you to me... If you say that to me... It made my love depreciate so much, I really don't want to see such a situation happen..."

Seeing the deep pain between his brows, Xie Jingran felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to stroke the sadness between his brows.

He didn't dodge, but just looked at her like that, with deep pain and affection in his eyes, which made her heart ache even more.She didn't know what to say, she just murmured to him: "You...do you really like me that much..."

"Of course, why do you ask like that..." There was a pain in the bottom of his eyes that could not be ignored no matter what, "Of course, do you remember that time? The first time I saw you, I like you so much, but you... I really miss the old days, the relationship between me and you, and Ning'er, was not what it is now, but now..."

When he said this, he suddenly sighed heavily, but he didn't continue.Xie Jingran knew that he was feeling sad about their current estranged relationship, and also knew that no matter what, she and he would never be able to return to the past, so she sighed and said, "Jinghong, don't be like this..."

"Ran Ran……"

When he heard Xie Jingran's words, his eyes sank again, but he let go of her arms, smiled at her, and said, "Of course, didn't I tell you last time, let you see Is it the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant of our Nangong family? So today I specially brought it for you to have a look at."

"Really?"

Hearing what he said, Xie Jingran couldn't care less about being sad, she raised her head joyfully, her eyes showed her desire to see that piece of Nine Dragons Jade Pendant.

Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Of course, do you really want to see the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant so much?"

Xie Jingran nodded hurriedly: "Of course, I want to see it even in my dreams!"

"Really?"

Hearing what Xie Jingran said, his expression suddenly became agitated, and his fair cheeks turned a faint blush due to the excitement.

He just looked down at her like this, even his eyes couldn't hide the joy, as if her words were the greatest gospel to him.

Xie Jingran stared at him blankly, not knowing why her words caused him such a big shock.Does that piece of Nine Dragon Jade Pendant really have an unusual meaning to their Nangong family?

Or, is it a token of love like the little jade pendant Duanmu Yexian gave her?

Xie Jingran suddenly felt a chill. If this was the case, did she do something unforgivable?

She clearly said that she didn't want him to like her, and didn't want to take advantage of his feelings, but by doing this, didn't she give him hope and make him sink deeper?
Xie Jingran only felt more and more contradictory in her heart, and didn't know what to say to completely cut off his thoughts.But at the same time, she also knew that she absolutely could not do this, if she did, she would not be able to get that Nine Dragon Jade Pendant at all.

It seemed that she was also a selfish person. Although she kept saying that she would not take advantage of his feelings for her, for the sake of her own personal safety, she betrayed her determination time and time again.

Then what qualifications does she have to be worthy of his love?
Xie Jingran couldn't help lowering her head, not daring to look at his joyful expression.He heard the voice that he seemed to be taking out the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant, but he didn't have the courage to look at it, just as he was taking out the jade pendant and was about to hand it to her, he only heard a few voices: "Xie Jingran! "My lady!" "My lady!"

No way, how did they come by such a coincidence!Just when she was about to see the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant she had been dreaming of, Murong Xuanyan and the others came?
And now the situation between her and Nangong Jinghong is so ambiguous, if Murong Xuanyan sees it, she doesn't know what kind of misunderstanding it will be, so she has no choice but to resist the urge to look at the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, and turned to Nangong Jinghong and said : "Still, let them go down."

Hearing what Xie Jingran said, a look of sadness flashed across Nangong Jinghong's eyes, then let go of her dejectedly, and said, "Okay, let's go down."

"En." Xie Jingran nodded, letting him carry her from the tree and fly her down.

Seeing a group of Murong Xuanyan and his ministers galloping towards them from a distance, she hurriedly got out of Nangong Jinghong's arms, and stayed at least a foot away from him, and then waited for Murong Xuanyan to run towards them in peace.

Seeing her like this, Nangong Jinghong's eyes once again turned dark, but she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Of course it seems that the emperor is afraid that the emperor will misunderstand our relationship?"
