94: Chapter 94 The Wrath of the Good Girl
Inside the bedroom, Ning Ke'er was wearing exquisite makeup and a light purple bodycon dress that hugged her figure, with a silver-white pendant necklace around her fair neck.
Stepping in crystal high heels, she hurriedly trotted over to Qin Ge. With panic filling her bright eyes, she began to explain, "Qin Ge, don't misunderstand. It's not that I didn't want to see you, I just..."
The words reached her lips, but Ning Ke'er stammered bashfully, unable to say them out loud.
How could Mu Xinyi not see through Ning Ke'er's little thoughts?
Looking at Ning Ke'er's exquisite makeup and carefully selected clothes, she couldn't help but wonder, "You just wasted some time on makeup and matching your clothes?"
She knew that the relationship between Qin Ge and Ning Ke'er was developing somewhat quickly.
But she hadn't expected it to be this fast, to such an absurd degree!
One had to know that in the past, Ning Ke'er was so well-behaved and withdrawn that she wasn't even interested in the opposite sex.
She didn't even have the desire to converse with people in general.
How many days had Ning Ke'er and Qin Ge even known each other?
How could such an exaggerated change occur?
Please!
This was the Ning Family home.
It was one thing for Ning Ke'er to be wearing exquisite makeup inside her own bedroom.
But she even came out wearing a purple bodycon dress?
Those who knew would say it was to see Qin Ge.
Those who didn't would think Ning Ke'er was about to attend some glamorous charity gala to compete in beauty!
It was understandable that a woman would doll herself up for the one she loves.
But Ning Ke'er seemed to care a bit too much about Qin Ge's feelings, didn't she?
In front of Xiao Ye and Ning Ke'er's parents, Qin Ge took Ning Ke'er's slender hand. Looking at the sparkling-eyed Ning Ke'er, he couldn't help but praise, "Keer, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have become even more beautiful!"
Even Qin Ge was stunned by the sight of the meticulously dressed Ning Ke'er.
Especially the purple bodycon dress, which showcased Ning Ke'er's graceful curves to the fullest.
It added a touch of mature charm to this good girl of the Ning Family.
How should he put it?
Xu Gao was right; purple indeed has more allure.
Ning Ke'er lowered her head bashfully, and the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally landed steadily.
She was afraid that in Qin Ge's eyes, she wasn't good enough or pretty enough.
She had done her best to dress herself up.
Fortunately, she hadn't left a bad impression on Qin Ge tonight.
“Ding! Child of Destiny Xiao Ye has developed Killing Intent towards the Host. Rewarding the Host with +6,000 villain points!”
Seeing the stunningly beautiful and well-behaved Ning Ke'er acting like a shy young girl in front of Qin Ge, Xiao Ye was so furious his back teeth nearly shattered from clenching.
He glared at Qin Ge's hand holding Ning Ke'er's and said in a rage, "Qin Ge, don't play the good guy here in front of Keer! You just said that the Ning Family did well to use suppressive education on Keer!"
"You have no idea how much pain and suffering Keer has felt in her heart all these years!"
Ning Ke'er looked up and turned toward Xiao Ye. "You know? You understand? Have I ever complained to you?"
"Why do you, Xiao Ye, sound like you know me so well?"
Seeing Xiao Ye accuse Qin Ge, Ning Ke'er immediately became displeased.
She had stayed in her room for so long not just for makeup and picking clothes to show her best side to Qin Ge.
More importantly, knowing that Xiao Ye had followed along, she was afraid Qin Ge would misunderstand and was thinking of how to explain!
Ning Ke'er frowned slightly, looking at the stranger Xiao Ye with undisguised disgust. "I was outspoken when I was a child. If it weren't for my parents' good guidance, I would have caused the Ning Family to be implicated long ago."
"Besides, this is the Ning Family's private business. What does it have to do with you, Xiao Ye?"
In the past, she had also harbored resentment toward her parents.
But tonight, hearing Qin Ge's perspective, she was increasingly able to understand her parents' painstaking efforts.
Did she even know Bai Feng? Why should she speak up for him?
Now that Bai Feng had destroyed the Dragon Family in the Magic City, who knows how many innocent people died miserably because of him.
Even she herself felt that she had said the wrong things back then.
Fortunately, her parents had disciplined her in time. Otherwise, if the Ning Family had also met with disaster...
What use would her regret be now?
Xiao Ye clenched his iron fists in dissatisfaction and hissed through gritted teeth, "How can it have nothing to do with me? I am your future husband! You and I already privately pledged our lives to each other, how can it not matter?!"
"Nonsense!" Ning Ke'er was pale with fright and quickly explained to Qin Ge, "I have no relationship with him. We weren't even close back then; it was only because the Ning Family and the Xiao Family had many business collaborations that an engagement was haphazardly set."
She nervously gripped Qin Ge's hand, her eyes reddening as she hurriedly refuted.
She was terrified that Qin Ge would misunderstand!
"Qin Ge! You deserve to die!"
Looking at Ning Ke'er's nervous appearance, how could Xiao Ye not see how much she cared for and liked Qin Ge?
Originally, he had only said that to deliberately provoke Ning Ke'er.
He thought Ning Ke'er was angry because he had left without saying goodbye after the engagement was broken.
Who would have thought that it would actually provoke Ning Ke'er into actively leaning closer to Qin Ge's embrace?
Ning Ke'er was his fiancée.
She was his future wife!
How could he allow others to touch her?
A Dragon has reverse scales; touch them and you shall die!
Seeing this, Mu Xinyi, who was eager to show her loyalty, finally found an opportunity. She pointed angrily at Xiao Ye's nose, her chest heaving as she shouted, "The one who deserves to die is you!"
"If it weren't for Qin Ge, you wouldn't even be able to cross the threshold of the Ning Family!"
"It was your Xiao Family that broke the engagement back then because you were afraid of the Dragon Family's retaliation. Now that the Dragon Family is destroyed, you, Xiao Ye, jump out again to play the fiancé?"
"I, Mu Xinyi, have never seen anyone as thick-skinned and shameless as you!"
Xiao Ye turned to look at Mu Xinyi, his entire body radiating a sky-piercing Killing Intent as he roared, "Shut up!"
Ning Ke'er, however, was rarely enraged. She pointed to the door and shouted at Xiao Ye, "Get out! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
The furious Xiao Ye looked back at Ning Ke'er's angry face and subconsciously explained in a soft tone, "Keer, listen to my explanation. I had my reasons back then..."
"My name is Ning! Ke! Er!" Ning Ke'er emphasized every word, and then she gritted her teeth. "Furthermore, I have no relationship with you. Get out!"
She was already afraid she wasn't good enough for Qin Ge.
She was desperate to clear away the stain of the 'engagement'.
But Xiao Ye kept mentioning it in front of Qin Ge time and again, as if afraid Qin Ge wouldn't know.
And now, he was even shamelessly losing his temper with her good friend Mu Xinyi.
This made her feel even more disgust toward Xiao Ye.
Crunch!
Xiao Ye clenched his fists tightly and gave Qin Ge a venomous glare.
However, he didn't dare to provoke Ning Ke'er any further at this moment.
With a cold snort, he flicked his sleeves and left.
“Ding! The Child of Destiny has developed a heart of certain death towards the Host. Rewarding the Host with +9,000 villain points!”
The reward arrived.
Qin Ge contentedly stroked Ning Ke'er's soft hand, then looked at Ning Zhen and Zhao Qingya. "Uncle, Auntie, it wasn't easy for me to come to the Magic City. Can I take Keer out for a stroll tonight?"
Ning Ke'er's anger vanished along with Xiao Ye's departure.
Hearing Qin Ge's invitation, she felt an irrepressible joy in her heart.
She turned her head, subconsciously fearful and not daring to meet her parents' eyes, yet she still plucked up her courage and said softly, "Dad, Mom, I'll just go out for this one night. I promise I'll be home before twelve."
In the past ten-plus years.
Her parents always required her to be home before dark.
Going out late at night, especially in the Magic City.
That had never happened before.
She feared her parents.
But she was even more afraid of disappointing Qin Ge!
Ning Zhen and Zhao Qingya looked at each other in astonishment.
Withdrawing his gaze, Ning Zhen looked at Qin Ge and asked, "Then, why not go out for a stroll?"
Zhao Qingya nudged her husband with her elbow and said with a beaming smile, "The Magic City is also known as the City that Never Sleeps. Keer, you should take Young Master Qin out for a walk."
"There's no need to come back before twelve."
"Spend more time with Young Master Qin; you don't need to come home tonight."
