“Then she met a bastard.” Ke Nanyu clenched his fist, speaking calmly: “She married him, and then we used a large sum of money to invalidate the marriage. After that, Snow Wild completely changed as a person, just like that.”
“Just like that?” She didn’t believe it. She felt Ke Nanyu seemed to be hiding important details, but he stopped there, and she couldn’t force him to speak.
Looking at him, Xingcan suddenly felt a wave of heartache.
There must be a painful story in his heart. Although he appeared calm, she could feel his pain.
[The translation continues with the subsequent paragraphs, maintaining the original narrative structure and tone.]
Do you have one?” He looked at the purple mark on her neck with heartache, reaching out to touch it gently, “Does it hurt? I should have protected you.”
Yuan Xingcan took a step back, a bit angry with him, “You should say that if my curiosity wasn’t so strong, I wouldn’t have encountered such a thing, and it’s all my own fault.”
”I won’t say such things to you,” he smiled, “especially after you’ve been frightened.”
”I wasn’t scared, I just wanted to know what happened.”
In fact, she was trembling all over from fear, but she knew that to find out what was going on, she couldn’t show weakness by appearing frightened.
She had always been stubborn, always insistent on things she wanted to know, and never compromising.
”You’re still shaking,” he pointed out the obvious fact, “Come inside, you need a drink.”
Have a drink to calm down, get a good night’s sleep, and forget about these unpleasant things when waking up tomorrow morning.
”I want you to tell me the truth. Otherwise, I’m not going anywhere.”
”If you insist on not leaving, I’d be happy to carry you inside.” He swept her up with both hands, easily lifting Yuan Xingcan into his arms.
”Put me down!” His sudden action startled her, and before she could react, she was already in his arms.
”Quickly put me down, I can walk myself! Ke Nanyu, Ke Nanyu!”
”Shh, keep your voice down, don’t wake Xueyue. Don’t move, or you’ll fall and get bruised if I let go.”
