After making sure that everything was taken care of, Nan Chen motioned for Qiao Zhan to leave.
Soon, Nan Chen and Nan Xing were the only ones remaining in the ward.
“Now, care to tell me what happened?” Nan Chen asked coldly.
Nan Xing simply flashed him a glance and kept his head low without saying a word.
“You went to have dinner with Ouyang Qing, didn't you? How did you get hurt like this?” Nan Chen pressed on.
Instead of answering the question, Nan Xing looked up at him and said, “Chen, what happened to Erbao had nothing to do with me. I'm not a heartless monster!”
The look in Nan Chen's eyes grew cold instantly. “What makes you say that?”
“I mean exactly what I said. I didn't do anything to harm Erbao. She's my niece, and I love her very much. How could I ever bring myself to hurt her?” Nan Xing lowered his head again as he said that.
“I know you wouldn't hurt her, but why are you saying such weird things to me now?” Nan Chen asked.
“No reason. I just wanted to make it known that I had nothing to do with Erbao's matter, that's all,” Nan Xing replied.
“Look at me, Nan Xing,” Nan Chen's voice grew increasingly colder, but Nan Xing still kept his head low.
“Do you not trust me?” Nan Chen's question hit the nail on the head.
“Of course I do! I've always trusted you the most!”
“Oh? So, you think I don't trust you, then? Is that why you said all that weird stuff?” Nan Chen pressed on.
Nan Xing kept quiet.
