Chapter 261 Her Painted Skin Fell Off
Chapter 261 Her Painted Skin Fell Off
Xie Chang'an was startled to see a young woman in military uniform smiling at him, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Luo Ning walked in excitedly with a bowl of medicine in her hand, only to find Xie Chang'an sitting in front of the wardrobe. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she had to hold onto the door frame to steady herself.
She knew Xie Chang'an's physical condition perfectly well; he wasn't yet capable of reaching the wardrobe, so she felt comfortable letting him stay there.
However, things took a completely different turn, which was absolutely ridiculous.
That day, Xie Chang'an deliberately focused on the computer to distract her and lower her guard; this was a premeditated act!
She hadn't come in since after dinner, so he sneaked over.
It must be that he saw something when she took out her sanitary napkin that night. It was the strong belief in exploring secrets that supported him to slide to the wardrobe and obtain his deepest secret.
*Splat*, her disguise fell to the ground, revealing her true colors.
Hearing the noise, Xie Chang'an turned around, holding the photo frame and looking at Luo Ning with red eyes.
It was as if a thousand years had passed, and all the love, hate, and grudges of past and present lives were contained in that gaze.
Luo Ning couldn't take it anymore, her lips trembled. Xie Chang'an knew, he knew everything, he knew her secret!
The air was eerily quiet, and a palpable tension enveloped Luo Ning.
Luo Ning took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down, and placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table. "Didn't I tell you not to touch anything in the room? You're 28 years old, can't you still listen to people? Put it back!"
It felt like an eternity before Xie Chang'an finally spoke, "Luo Daning."
Luo Ning felt as if her heart had been scalded, and she quickly sat down, holding onto the headboard.
What the hell is this?! Why does she feel like she's seeing Xie Chang'an from her past life?! The boundless heart of Fang!
Xie Chang'an gripped the armrests of his wheelchair, his hands trembling slightly, and squeezed out each word through gritted teeth, "Explain!"
He finally understood why he had felt that inexplicable feeling towards Luo Ning during those days at home; it turned out she…
Luo Ning's eyes flashed, and she stubbornly insisted, "I, I just thought she looked good in her military uniform, so I took it! I'll just take it out and throw it away later!"
"Really?" Xie Chang'an lowered his head, a tear sliding down his cheek and landing on Luo Ning's eyes in the photo.
"Of course that's how it is! She's not as good-looking as me, she's just wearing a military uniform. I'm too old-fashioned and backward to ever join the army, so I just hang her up and worship her!" Luo Ning said in a serious tone, walking to the wheelchair and reaching for the photo frame.
"Commander Xie, I'll take it and throw it away right now, let go of me!"
Xie Chang'an glanced at Luo Ning, then let go of her hand. "Now that we've got it back, why throw it away? Hang it on the wall!"
With such a huge vulnerability right there, Luo Ning is in constant danger. He must be really worried!
"No way, she's someone else's woman. What kind of nonsense is it to hang her up in my house?"
Xie Chang'an lowered his gaze, concealing the emotions in his eyes, "Hang it in the old place!"
"Oh," Luo Ning glanced at the window and instantly noticed something, unable to suppress the urge to slap his forehead.
If she dies in the future, it will definitely be because she died stupidly.
Last time I was in a rush, and all I remembered was hiding my diary and ID. I took the painting and knocked off the nails, forgetting to cover up the traces of the painting being hung there.
That area was noticeably whiter than the surrounding walls... What annoyed her even more was that she hadn't noticed it in the past two days.
After Xie Chang'an moved in, her gaze was fixed on Xie Chang'an and the area around the bed; she didn't notice anything else.
A big shot is a big shot; no clue can escape his eyes.
Luo Ning was convinced of his defeat and re-hung the painting.
Xie Chang'an remained seated, motionless. He also wanted to go back, but he had exhausted all his strength and was now a cripple.
This shows Luo Ning's maximum girlfriend power. She bent down, picked up Xie Chang'an, put him on the bed, took off her clothes, and applied medicine to him.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of their breathing and the friction of cotton swabs being applied to the wounds.
Under immense pressure, Luo Ning forced herself to finish applying the medicine, helped Xie Chang'an put on his clothes, picked up the medicine bowl, and slipped away.
If she waited another second, she felt like she was going to suffocate.
A true master is a true master. Even though he is still young, his innate aura of authority is impossible to ignore.
Unbeknownst to them, Luo Ning, who had been in a high position, suddenly plummeted down.
Luo Ning went from a fairy to a nobody, but Xie Chang'an is still the same Xie Chang'an.
As she slipped to the door, Xie Chang'an's icy voice rang out behind her, "I'll give you two choices: first, tell the truth; second, take me back!"
Luo Ning sighed, thinking she had gotten away with it, but little did she know that what she thought was just her own assumption.
Big shots are not easily fooled; they can never be fooled in their entire lives.
To be honest, she wasn't ready!
Sending him back is impossible; it's too dangerous outside, and Xie Chang'an's body can't withstand the strain.
He slid to the wardrobe, where his potential finally came into play, and then he was stranded on the beach like a salted fish.
Luo Ning turned around, pursed her lips, and asked, "Um, is there a third way?"
"Yes!" Xie Chang'an nodded firmly, lifted the covers, and was about to get out of bed.
Luo Ning rushed over and grabbed Xie Chang'an, terrified out of his wits. "Ancestor, don't do anything rash! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Xie Chang'an immediately calmed down, staring intently at Luo Ning, "I just want the truth!"
Luo Ning ruffled her hair haphazardly and plopped down on the bed!
Once she confesses, everything about her will be exposed. Although Xie Chang'an can be trusted, but...
She wasn't planning to tell him everything yet; they were far from being able to confide in each other.
Seeing Luo Ning's dilemma, Xie Chang'an couldn't bear to make things difficult for her. "How about this, I'll ask the questions, and you answer them!"
Luo Ning nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice; if you asked her to talk about it, she could recite her entire family history.
Xie Chang'an is her faith; once she confesses, she will reveal everything without reservation...
Such targeted questioning can protect one's privacy to the greatest extent, which is a win-win approach.
"Who is that woman!" Xie Chang'an pointed to the painting on the wall and got straight to the point.
Luo Ning scratched his head. Who is she?
This is a soul-searching question, asking her to answer the three eternal questions of life, which she could not answer clearly.
"How about we ask a different question?"
Xie Chang'an leaned against the bed, neither speaking nor moving, just looking at Luo Ning calmly.
After a fierce and arduous battle of wits, Luo Ning was defeated.
In both her past and present lives, Xie Chang'an has always been an insurmountable peak for her, a dream she yearns for and strives to achieve.
She thought that with her experience of two lifetimes, and Xie Chang'an's youth, she could at least fight him to a draw, so she bravely challenged the big shot.
The result was that things could only get worse!
The harder you try, the worse you become.
Xie Chang'an sighed softly, his thin lips parted slightly, "If you can't answer, I'll answer for you!"
"Huh?" Luo Ning was completely stunned. Had Xie Chang'an been reborn and mastered all her secrets?
No, impossible… Just as Luo Ning was lost in thought, Xie Chang'an said something that shocked her…
