Chapter 764 - No Reason to Bet With You (2/2)

He dreamt of her beautiful face every night. His heart ached when he thought about how she was imprisoned by Lu Fenying and wasn’t treated well.

Even at the cost of his reputation, and no matter if everyone else disdained him, he was determined to help her get rid of this demon.

Lu Fenying said coldly, “I never thought the Xiao family would have a thief like you.”

A strange light flashed in Xiao Xiao’s eyes. Lu Fenying could scold him however he wanted, but he couldn’t implicate the Xiao family.

“Your Highness, don’t blame other people for wanting to take a treasure that you don’t appreciate,” said Xiao Xiao calmly.

“Mo Qian’er will always be in my hands. Just give up.”

Xiao Xiao looked at him calmly. “Are you really so confident that you can control her forever?”

“What can you do?” Lu Fenying smiled mockingly.

“It’s good to be confident, but it’s easy to be slapped in the face if you’re blindly so.” Xiao Xiao got off the bed. “If Mo Qian’er finds out that she can no longer have children after you struck her, do you think she’ll hate you?”

“What’s there to be afraid of?” Lu Fenying retorted.

If Mo Qian’er hated him, so be it. In any case, he would never let her go.

“You’re not afraid?” Xiao Xiao stood up, his eyes burning.

Lu Fenying frowned. Was he afraid?

Of course he was. He didn’t like the way Mo Qian’er looked at him as if he was her enemy. That put him in a bad mood.

But so what? He still couldn’t let Mo Qian’er go.

“You wouldn’t be standing here if you weren’t afraid. Why are you telling me to give up? Your Highness, you’re afraid that I’ll steal Miss Qian’er’s heart.” Xiao Xiao walked over to the couch and poured two cups of tea. “Why don’t we make a bet?”

“I have no reason to bet with you.” Lu Fenying was disdainful.

“No reason, or you don’t dare?” Xiao Xiao took a sip of the tea, and his complexion softened as the warm water flowed into his heart.
