987 Don't trust anyone who's close to you, except for me_1

Nian Yu frowned. ning, that's not what I meant.

What does that mean?

There was a look of sarcasm and mockery on her face that could not be ignored. for the past 20 years, she has done nothing for me. Just because she gave birth to me and left me in Ying city, she never appeared when I was in the most pain and despair! Now that something has happened to them, those people are blaming it on me instead?

It was truly laughable!

Nian lie tightened his grip on her shoulders. ah ning, that's not what I meant. I didn't mean that they intentionally let those people target you. It's because your identity has been exposed, Hanhan.

What identity do I have?

Ning Qing's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but be excited.

I'm just a daughter of the ning family, a daughter of an ordinary family. I married you, got pregnant, and just wanted to live an ordinary life! I don't have any status, and I don't care for it!

: Yes, you're not anyone!: Nian lie answered repeatedly. You're only my wife!

He held her in his arms and felt her slight trembling, his heart aching.

I'm sorry, I said too much. You don't have to worry about these things. I'll protect you, okay?

Ning Qing leaned against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and her vision blurred.

She forced herself to calm down. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be angry at you.

Nian Xi caressed her back again and again. it's okay. I didn't think it through.

He hesitated for a moment and decided to skip some things. ah ning, I'm telling you these things because I want you to know that it's not safe outside. I can't guarantee that I can protect you and the child. Please be obedient and don't be angry because I don't let you go out, okay?

Ning Qing's heart ached. It was a good thing that he could give her an embrace to rely on in this storm.

Otherwise, she knew that she would definitely be swept up by the silent Flames of War until not even her bones were left.

I'll be good and listen to you from now on,

Nian lie nodded. you have to be careful of the people around you.

Ning Qing's forehead heated up, and she remembered that Shen Yao had said the same thing to her in the coffee shop.

Nian lie didn't get a response from her. He lowered his head and looked at her. ning?

He said the same thing to me today. Ning Qing came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and confessed.

Who? Nian lie asked.

Shen Yao is the person I met.

She then explained some of the details of their meeting. Nian lie's expression darkened as he listened.

Yingluo is probably like this. I guess he has ulterior motives towards me, but he didn't do anything to harm me today. Instead, he seemed to be reminding me that something bad will happen next.

If ning Qing could realize it, so could Nian lie.

But he wasn't like her, who could judge whether a person was good or bad by a little detail.

Moreover, this matter concerned her and the child, so he could not let his guard down.

alright, he said, patting ning Qing's back gently. if that's the case, I want you to remember one thing.

Ning Qing was stunned. what did you say?

Nian lie's eyes were as deep as ever. from today onwards, don't trust anyone who gets close to you.

Except for me.

His request let her know how serious and scary the things that were about to happen were.

Ning Qing stared at him for a long time. Nian Yu frowned. ning Qing, promise me.
