My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 443: Definitely Faking It

Yun Ran held a pillow tightly, squeezing it repeatedly, and really wanted to throw it at his head, but she held back.

She knew it was completely useless unless she actually killed him, otherwise, she couldn’t stop him from babbling nonsense.

Yun Ran simply stopped responding to him and didn’t even look at him, going back to her medical book and completely ignoring him.

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows at this, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

"Aren’t you a little divine doctor? With your miraculous hands, bringing the dead back to life, bones to flesh, your medical skills are extraordinary. Why do you still need to stay up late reading?"

"..."

Yun Ran continued to ignore him, not even lifting her eyelids.

"Actually, I am quite interested in medical books. I’ve studied some classics. Why don’t we discuss them together?"

"..."

Yun Ran still didn’t pay him any attention, her fair fingertips glided over the yellowing pages, her eyes shimmering as she scanned the lines, seeking the answer she wanted, be it a clue or an inspiration.

She was immersed in her own little world, ignoring all outside sounds.

It wasn’t until the man who had already loosened his outer garment took a long stride, boldly stepping onto the bed, that Yun Ran suddenly snapped out of it, raising her hand to chop towards his leg. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Get off. Who allowed you up here?"

The wind from her palm whistled, filled with a chilling murderous intent, obviously infused with inner strength. If it hit, it would surely damage bones and tendons.

"..."

Is this girl serious?

Nangong Mo’s mouth twitched, swiftly dodging the palm strike filled with murderous intent, glancing down at Yun Ran with a sigh, looking rather hurt.

"Truly heartless! I just wanted to come up and read with you, and you want to murder your husband. Truly, the most poisonous thing is a woman’s heart!"

"..."

Yun Ran rolled her eyes at him, her gaze coldly sweeping over his legs, "Serves you right! Mess around again, and I’ll cripple you directly!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

He raised his hand to rub his brow gently, speaking earnestly, "You’re a girl; can’t we be less violent?"

"Sure!"

Unexpectedly, Yun Ran agreed so readily that even Nangong Mo was taken aback, as he had merely said it off-handedly.

Especially seeing her eyes curve with laughter, sweet and obedient, Nangong Mo reached out to touch her forehead, "Yun Xiaoran, are you sick?"

"......"

Yun Ran’s face stiffened, restraining the impulse to swipe his hand away with a slap, her smile was light, her voice gentle, "No! I’ve decided to be a gentle and ladylike woman from now on, no more hitting people!"

Nangong Mo’s mouth twitched, looking at her with a strange expression, a sentence clearly written on his face: ’I don’t believe you at all!’

Right in front of him, Yun Ran took out several small porcelain bottles, then some silver needles, dipping the needles in each bottle in turn.

Upon taking them out again, Nangong Mo clearly saw the needle tips shimmering with hues of pale blue, purple, and reddish glow.

Is that... poisoned?

Nangong Mo’s mouth twitched lightly, instantly realizing, "So, when you said no more hitting, you meant... going straight for the kill?"

Yun Ran held a few glittering silver needles between her fingers, brightly smiling at him, "I thought about it, hitting is indeed a bit violent and doesn’t quite match my gentle ladylike demeanor. Poison needles are better; with a flick of the finger, it’s over, elegant, and graceful, much more in line with my image!"

Nangong Mo: "..."

"Don’t underestimate these silver needles; they are highly poisonous. Just a small prick into the blood will be fatal with no hope of recovery."

"..."

"Do you want to try? To feel it?"

"..."

"By the way, what color do you prefer?"

"..."

Even though he knew she was definitely joking, that the poison couldn’t be so lethal, and she surely had an antidote, Nangong Mo was still a bit uneasy.

"Yun Xiaoran, put away those poison needles before you accidentally hurt yourself. I won’t come over."

He truly didn’t get any closer to the bed, yet he didn’t leave either.

Yun Ran knew very well that getting rid of him wasn’t an easy task, so she just let him be.

Anyway, he couldn’t come closer to the bed, and after a while, he would surely leave on his own.

But unexpectedly, he found a spot, spread his outer garment on the floor, and lay down directly, sleeping.

This action left Yun Ran stunned, speechless for a while.

"???"

[He... just fell asleep like this?! Is he really planning to sleep like this all night?!]

No quilt, no pillow, just sleeping on the floor, in the chill of winter, the night as cold as water, seemed somewhat... pitiful...

Yun Ran didn’t know what to say for a moment...

Time ticked by bit by bit, the room remained quiet, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Yun Ran: "..."

[Surely he hasn’t fallen asleep! He must be pretending! It’s a trick! Don’t fall for it!]
