“What are you doing here?”
Shang Ningyi would not be polite to Xue Fangling.
If he did not like her, he simply did not like her. He would not force himself to like her or fuel her fantasies about him.
“I…” Xue Fangling opened her mouth.
She wanted to say that she was leaving tomorrow and wanted to take a few more looks at Shang Ningyi today.
She did not say it aloud, though, for fear of making Shang Ningyi despise her even more because she knew he would not want to hear her say something like that.
“I’m here to see Luoluo.” She came up with an excuse for being here.
“See Luoluo?” Shang Ningyi sneered.
“There’s no need for you to see Luoluo. Miss Xue, you should return to your tent.”
Xue Fangling said she was here to see Shang Ningluo? Was she here to get scolded?
Xue Fangyang wanted to take Shang Ningluo with him. Shang Ningluo was still enraged, and she probably even wanted to kill Xue Fangyang.
Why would Xue Fangling be looking for her now? To persuade Shang Ningluo to follow her brother obediently? If she was not asking for a scolding, why else could she be here?
“Also, Miss Xue, please tell your brother to treat Luoluo well. If she suffers any harm, our collaboration will end here.”
He flicked his sleeve at Xue Fangling and turned to leave.
Xue Fangling wanted to chase after him, but Shang Ningyi had already walked far away.
She bit her lip and turned to look at Shang Ningluo’s tent. In the end, she did not go over to see her.
Just like Shang Ningyi had predicted, Shang Ningluo would either scold or stab Xue Fangling if she went to look for her now.
She would be better off staying out of trouble. As for the message Shang Ningyi asked her to relay to her brother, why would she tell her brother something so infuriating?
She would protect Shang Ningluo in the future. No one in Camp Xue Yang would dare do anything to her.
Of course, Shang Ningyi knew that Xue Fangling would not relay his message to Xue Fangyang. He wanted Xue Fangling to know that he and Xue Fangyang only had a collaborative relationship. She would not be involved at all.
He could not reject Xue Fangyang’s request for Shang Ningluo, but he would never allow Xue Fangyang to push Xue Fangling toward him.
He would have liked Xue Fangling to remain by his side so that he could trade a chess piece for another. But keeping Xue Fangling as a chess piece would disgust him, and he would also make Xue Fangyang even more wary of him.
Hence, it was better for Xue Fangling to leave.
In the tent, Shang Ningluo sneered as she watched Xue Fangling disappear before her eyes.
“Can you leave? No matter how powerful Xue Fangyang is, this is still Camp Ning Se!”
Why should Xue Fangyang take me away while Xue Fangling can return safely? She can even dream ofmarrying my brother and becoming my sister-in -law someday? Dream on!
“Guards!” she yelled at the entrance of her tent.
“Princess, what can I do for you?”
The person who came was a guardian, but he was also Shang Ningluo’s most trusted guardian. He had always been kept by Shang Ningluo’s side in case of emergencies.
“Go and make sure Xue Fangling can’t return to Camp Xue Yang,” Shang Ningluo instructed..
