Nini'an turned her face away and said, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet. What do you take me for?"
Lanling replied, "I might be dead in twenty days' time. Of course, I need to seize every opportunity."
Hearing this, Nini'an's heart skipped a beat.
Lanling's words were very clear—he would never betray his uncle, Suo Mo, even if it meant his own death.
She suddenly remembered her father's words: if she wanted Lanling to betray Suo Mo, she needed to make Lanling's feelings for her outweigh his loyalty to Suo Mo. Therefore, Nini'an considered using certain tactics. As long as she didn't truly let him have his way, everything would be negotiable.
Having thought of this, Nini'an didn't struggle to break free from Lanling's grasp. After all… deep down, she didn't really want to leave.
"Can we just talk like this?" Nini'an asked.
"Sure," Lanling said. "What do you want to talk about?"
Nini'an said, "I have some questions about your past that I'd like to ask."
