The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 885 - 469: An Ning, Give Me a Chance (Fourth Update)
Xiao Jinxing helped An Ning tuck in the quilt. ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐ก.๐๐ธ๐
An Ning remained indifferent.
No matter what he did, she was disdainful.
"In the future, things like this wonโt happen again," Xiao Jinxing promised.
An Ning turned over.
She directly turned her back to him.
"Previously, I didnโt pay much attention to the affairs of the harem, so I didnโt focus on it. If Anqi hadnโt come to care for me and happened to mention that you didnโt return to the sleeping quarters, I wouldnโt have known that Bai Mowan made you go to her sleeping chambers. I always believed Bai Mowan wouldnโt go to such an extent because sheโs not stupid," Xiao Jinxing explained.
Even though An Ning didnโt want to listen, he still tried hard to explain himself.
"What difference does it make if you come or not?" An Ningโs low voice finally responded to him.
She didnโt care what his views or feelings were towards Bai Mowan.
She only knew what she wanted!
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
Indeed.
What difference did it make if he came or not?!
By the time he arrived, everything would already be over.
An Ning could withdraw safely and unharmed from Bai Mowanโs side.
She didnโt need his protection at all.
It was his self-delusion that he could give her a sense of security and protect her when she was in danger.
But he never could.
An Ning did not rely on anyone. She was strong and wouldnโt be bullied.
Just as she said.
What use was he?!
"The only freedom I want, you canโt give me. Nothing else, you canโt give me either!" An Ning said coldly.
Xiao Jinxing silently endured An Ningโs rejection and hatred towards him.
He said, "I want to fight for a chance."
An Ning no longer responded.
At that moment, she buried her head under the quilt, expressing her annoyance through her actions.
Xiao Jinxing, however, acted as if he hadnโt seen it and continued, "Since childhood, after my mother concubine passed away, Iโve lived in hatred and cruelty, determined only on revenge. Even when I developed feelings for Bai Mowan, it was passive acceptance. Bai Mowan left when she said she would, and came back when she said she would. I never thought to change her decisions and didnโt believe such a broken and callous heart could truly be happy. I had no pursuit of love, living numb and apathetic."
An Ning really wanted to cover her ears.
She didnโt want to hear a single word.
She just wanted to be alone, quietly, and never see him again.
"Later, I finally achieved my great cause, avenged my grievances, became the emperor, and then fell in love with you," Xiao Jinxing confessed.
His confession, she never took seriously.
But he could tirelessly tell her over and over again.
"Regarding emotions, Iโve never fought for myself, Iโm naturally indifferent, never forcing, to anyone including Bai Mowan. But now, I want to fight for myself once, I want you to fall in love with me."
"I wonโt," An Ning finally couldnโt help but emerge from the quilt, telling Xiao Jinxing resolutely, "Aside from Fu Xingyi, I wonโt love anyone else!"
"I once thought I wouldnโt love anyone other than Bai Mowan, or perhaps, I thought I would never love anyone in this lifetime," Xiao Jinsen said deeply, "But now, Iโm in love with you, very much."
An Ning scoffed, "You donโt understand love at all."
"Falling in love with someone else, or failing to realize your true feelings, does that necessarily mean one deserves to die?" Xiao Jinxing asked her.
An Ning pressed her lips together.
Her heart seemed to suddenly be pricked by something.
But she chose to ignore it.
"Give me a chance..." Xiao Jinxingโs Adamโs apple rolled, seemingly suppressing immense emotions, "If by then you still want to leave, I will see to it that you and Youyou leave the Imperial Palace."
An Ning looked at Xiao Jinxing.
A trace of joy suddenly flashed in her eyes.
Truly, without any concealment.
Xiao Jinxing couldnโt help but smile a little.
How much she wanted to leave him, clearly, in such a mood, she suddenly smiled so brightly.
After a moment of joy.
An Ning became serious, "How long?"
She really couldnโt trust Xiao Jinxing anymore.
How cunning was this man.
The so-called chance, the so-called then, perhaps it meant when she was dead.
When dead, naturally, she would be sent out of the Imperial Palace for burial.
"Whatโs your bottom line on time?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
An Ning really wanted to say, one day.
She was only willing to give him one day of time.
But obviously, that lacked sincerity.
The fact that Xiao Jinxing could say something so sincere, she shouldnโt enrage him.
She thought for a moment, then said with difficulty, "Half a year."
Half a year was her bottom line.
She could only leave An Luming for half a year.
Not too long.
Thinking of Luming now made her feel guilty.
"Okay." Xiao Jinxing agreed immediately.
"Donโt lie to me." An Ning confirmed.
"Yes."
"If you lie to me again, I will truly hate you." An Ning said firmly.
"You donโt hate me intensely now?" Xiao Jinxing raised his eyebrows.
Forcing her to stay by his side, she would hate him to death, wouldnโt she?!
"I really hated you, but since you said youโll let me go in half a year, I can not hate you." She was that pragmatic.
To those who treated her well, she could reciprocate.
"Are you so sure youโll leave in half a year? What if you fall in love with me..."
"I advise you not to have hope. Not that Iโm afraid youโll be disappointed, but I fear youโd go back on your word."
"Even if I regret it to my very core, I absolutely wonโt go back on my word," Xiao Jinxing promised.
An Ning scrutinized Xiao Jinxing.
Though this man wasnโt exactly a good person, when he truly promised something, he generally wouldnโt break his word.
"Itโs a deal." An Ning couldnโt hide her smile.
"I have conditions." Xiao Jinxing suddenly said.
An Ningโs smile instantly vanished.
So, itโs really impossible to have any expectations for this damned emperor.
Xiao Jinxing glanced at An Ningโs expression and faintly smiled.
So her happiness was solely because she could finally leave.
He said, "First, donโt reject my kindness toward you. Since itโs about developing feelings, if you keep rejecting, it will be hard for me to move you."
An Ning frowned.
This damned emperor was indeed clever.
She asked, "Including going to bed?"
Xiao Jinxing was silent, slowly answering, "Not included."
An Ning stared at him.
"I wonโt force you anymore," Xiao Jinxing said sincerely, "But if youโre willing..."
"Rest assured, thereโs no such possibility!" An Ning interrupted him directly.
Xiao Jinxing didnโt insist further.
He continued, "Second, the ceremony of conferring titles will still happen."
"Isnโt that redundant?" An Ning said speechlessly, "Anyway, itโll be revoked."
"I wish to repay you for what I owed without leaving regrets," Xiao Jinxing stated firmly.
An Ning pondered.
She didnโt think it would have much consequence for her.
Moreover, with this identity, Bai Mowan wouldnโt dare flaunt in front of her.
As this was something that only added trouble for Xiao Jinxing and didnโt have much negative impact on her, but rather benefited her, she didnโt see the need to refuse.
"Alright," An Ning agreed.
"Lastly..." Xiao Jinxing said, "Bring Luming back to the Imperial Palace."
