The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1001 - 586: Xiao Jinxing’s Utter Devastation (Fifth Update)
Bai Mowan completely collapsed, falling heavily to the ground, murmuring constantly, "Why don’t you die, why don’t you die..."
As if she had gone mad.
Yet her tragedy, everyone just watched indifferently.
Success belongs to the victor.
This is her final outcome.
Not worthy of pity.
Xiao Jinxing glanced around.
In the end, he looked at An Ning.
Watching the woman who left him without hesitation, yet suddenly returned.
Wasn’t she going to leave?!
Why does she still appear before him?
Why act so naturally in front of him!
Does she think he is truly strong internally?
That she can trample and abandon him without restraint, then return as if nothing happened.
Does she believe that no matter how cruel she is, he’ll accept her without holding a grudge, simply because he loves her?!
Xiao Jinxing tightly pursed his lips, ultimately speaking, "Didn’t I tell you never to appear in front of me again?!"
An Ning bit her lip.
She planned never to appear before him.
She intended to leave forever.
"Do you really think I have no way of dealing with you? You come and go as you please?!" Without getting an answer from An Ning, Xiao Jinxing coldly questioned her again, pressing her.
Even if she says just one word.
Says she doesn’t want to leave.
He could really forgive her, he could truly let bygones be bygones.
As long as she says she wants to stay.
"An Ning, I’ll give you another chance, tell me, why did you come back?!" Xiao Jinxing asked her, suppressing himself as if trembling.
He actually just needs a step down.
Just needs a step to balance his mind, then he can be lenient towards her.
She doesn’t know.
What does her abandonment today mean to him?!
She’ll never know how much restraint he had, letting her leave before his eyes.
She’ll never know when she galloped away, he bit his lips until they bled, just to not indulge himself in stopping her.
He even dared not look back at her departing silhouette.
Afraid of seeing her lack of longing.
And he would not be able to cope with that scene.
Yet what about her?!
After all the torture he went through, she just came back so naturally.
Tore his heart apart, put him through unimaginable pain, yet suddenly offered a sweet reprieve!
Does this woman really have no heart?!
Is her heart truly given solely to that man named Fu Xingyi?!
Other people, are nothing!
Xiao Jinxing clenched his fist.
Watching An Ning remain silent.
Seeing she can be so wanton before him.
Yet he would... compromise.
Even if toyed with by her, he’d willingly...
So.
Enough.
What use are steps?
He’s not fond of any steps.
Her return is enough.
No need for reasons, her presence is sufficient.
He said, "Come over."
His slender hand extended towards An Ning.
If she can’t put aside her dignity for him, he can give her all the courtesy.
An Ning just gazed at Xiao Jinxing’s large hand.
Watching him even if disguised, restrained, yet unable to hide the curve of his lips.
Clearly a moment ago, he was asking for explanations.
Now.
He accepted all her betrayals.
Her lip was bitten pale.
If Xiao Jinxing knew her return was due to Gu Xingchuan’s coercion, that it was to seize his power, he would... how?!
At that moment.
An Ning heard Gu Xingchuan’s lukewarm voice speak, "Your Majesty, she won’t go to you."
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes suddenly tightened.
The smile on his lips stiffened completely.
Yet his gaze wasn’t on Gu Xingchuan, only intensely watching An Ning.
Observing all her reactions. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
An Ning closed her eyes.
Realizing for the first time she couldn’t truly face Xiao Jinxing.
Couldn’t really look into his eyes.
Brutal, angry, yet so desperately painful.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jinxing’s eyes moved slightly.
He turned his gaze to Gu Xingchuan.
Finally shifting his focus from An Ning.
The hand he placed in front of her also retracted.
"An Ning was forcefully brought back by me," Gu Xingchuan bluntly stated, "so don’t expect anything from her return, Your Majesty. She came back because of my despicable methods, not because she couldn’t bear to part with you, nor to reunite with you."
Xiao Jinxing’s fists were tightly clenched.
The suppressed anger revealing veins.
"Really? An Ning!" Xiao Jinxing questioned her.
Word by word questioning her.
So, all his hatred, love, cautious joy over her return was just him being sentimental.
An Ning never intended to come back.
She didn’t return because she couldn’t bear to leave him.
She returned only because she had no choice.
Otherwise, she’d be far, far away from him now!
"Yes." An Ning spoke.
Finally, she spoke.
Xiao Jinxing suddenly laughed.
As if hearing a monumental joke.
As if he himself was a joke.
Laughed aloud.
So this is what it feels like to be hurt repeatedly.
Was what he did to An Ning back then as earth-shattering?
No.
She wouldn’t.
Because she didn’t love him.
If she doesn’t love, she doesn’t feel heartbreak.
Doesn’t feel the torturous pain being hurt by someone you love!
An Ning watched Xiao Jinxing’s demeanor.
Seeing his desolation.
So hopeful yet so disappointed.
Could truly destroy a person’s sanity, truly be tragic beyond measure!
An Ning’s eyes reddened.
But she made herself remain unchanged.
She can do nothing for Xiao Jinxing now, only watch him coldly, witnessing his utter suffering.
Song Yanqing beside them was utterly baffled.
So intelligent yet completely unable to comprehend the current situation.
Did the Empress really come back or not?!
Was she indeed here or intending to leave?!
Gu Xingchuan’s demeanor seems decidedly off?!
What exactly are he and the Empress planning?! What did his claim of using means to bring the Empress back mean?!
What is Gu Xingchuan aiming for!
Even Song Yanqing who couldn’t figure it out left others equally perplexed.
Xie Ruotong didn’t understand either, she seemed only able to feel the Emperor’s overwhelming grief.
And the rest, she didn’t grasp.
Even Bai Mowan lying indifferent on the ground was suddenly snapped back to sanity, suddenly calmed by the scene.
She looked at Gu Xingchuan, his coldness, his composure, his disdain, his fearlessness...
Bai Mowan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
Gu Xingchuan is planning a rebellion!
