A wave of anger gradually permeated the room.
Ning Rongrong then looked coldly at Zhuge Lan, a killing intent surging towards him.
Zhuge Lan froze in place; this scene was too awkward, too upsetting, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Although this world did not dictate that a man could only have one woman, being caught red-handed by Ning Rongrong left him at a loss for what to do!
Not long ago, he and Ning Rongrong had been intimate.
He could even still feel the lingering warmth of her lips.
Zhuge Lan tentatively said,
"Rongrong, how about we go outside?"
Ning Rongrong's expression turned very ugly, and she directly said,
"Explain to me, what exactly is going on here?"
With that, she tore the doll to shreds and threw it out.
Zhuge Lan looked embarrassed. He slowly approached Ning Rongrong and reached out to hold her hand.
Ning Rongrong immediately slapped Zhuge Lan's hand away and snapped,
"What's wrong? Don't you like Miss Leng Xiaoxue? Why aren't you saying anything now?"
Zhuge Lan felt bitter! At this moment, he absolutely could not mention Miss Leng Xiaoxue, or he would be beaten to death.
Following his usual approach, he would offer a gift, but now he couldn't, or it would seem too frivolous.
At a time like this, the best approach was to apologize.
So, he said,
"I'm sorry, Rongrong."
Ning Rongrong let out a long breath and interrogated him,
"Tell me! What exactly did you do wrong?"
Zhuge Lan thought for a moment. At this point, an apology was essential, and how to apologize was a very important matter.
He thought about it and decided that it would be better to be sincere about this matter.
So, he said,
"I admit that I felt some affection for Leng Xiaoxue when I saw her a while ago, but not telling you was my mistake."
Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, and tears inexplicably flowed from her eyes. It seemed she was truly disappointed.
Tears streamed down her face, and she then said,
"Alright, alright, I spoke too much. I'll leave. Don't look for me anymore."
Zhuge Lan's expression changed instantly. Ning Rongrong was his good friend, and he genuinely needed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a reliance in the future.
After all, his previous friendship with Ning Rongrong was, in many ways, due to their extraordinary bond.
If this friendship was lost, it was uncertain whether Ning Rongrong would then turn to Spirit Hall.
At this moment, Leng Xiaoxue, who was standing by, showed a faint smile and then said,
"Miss Rongrong, a man like this isn't worth keeping!"
Zhuge Lan glared at Leng Xiaoxue. He had thought Miss Leng Xiaoxue liked him, but now it seemed she truly didn't. If he ever got the chance again, he would definitely punish her properly.
As for now, he still needed to comfort Ning Rongrong.
He said,
"Rongrong, don't listen to her nonsense!"
Ning Rongrong nodded, then coldly said,
"Fine, do whatever you want. I'll leave, alright?"
With that, Ning Rongrong left directly, but tears fell from her eyes, clearly indicating how heartbroken she was by this matter.
How could Zhuge Lan let Ning Rongrong leave? He had to stop her. He stepped forward, grabbed her, pulled her into his arms, and then said affectionately,
"Rongrong, Leng Xiaoxue isn't even one ten-thousandth of you. If I had to choose, I would absolutely choose you."
Ning Rongrong paused, her expression softening. Clearly, these words touched Ning Rongrong's heart, making her somewhat happy.
So, she said,
"Zhuge Lan, really?"
Leng Xiaoxue, standing nearby, was stunned. She clearly hadn't expected Zhuge Lan to be able to salvage such an awkward situation.
Then, she said,
"Miss Rongrong, you cannot believe a man's lies."
Ning Rongrong's expression changed instantly. She then looked at Leng Xiaoxue and said testily,
"Hmph, you're not a good person either. Didn't you set this trap just to make us fall into it?"
Zhuge Lan secretly rejoiced. At this moment, things were much better as the hatred had shifted, but he couldn't let the emotions escalate now.
Otherwise, it would be terrible later.
Then, he held Ning Rongrong's hand and said,
"We should go out. Let's not stay here."
Ning Rongrong didn't speak, clearly very displeased with the situation.
Zhuge Lan led Ning Rongrong out. After they left, Ning Rongrong remained silent, her face cold.
Even though he kept trying to console her, it yielded no results.
Ning Rongrong walked ahead, and he followed behind her.
This continued for several hours, and Ning Rongrong still didn't say a word.
In the distance, a figure approached—Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo noticed their strange expressions and asked,
"Oh, what's wrong with you two?"
Zhuge Lan's expression was a bit grim. At this point, Ning Rongrong was completely angry. To be honest, it was difficult to coax her back quickly. The best way now was to quietly accompany her.
Besides that, there was no other way.
Then, he helplessly said to Dugu Bo,
"Senior Dugu, I made a mistake."
Ning Rongrong turned her head to look at Zhuge Lan and snorted,
"I thought I was wrong! So it was your mistake."
Dugu Bo's face was completely bewildered. He then looked at the two of them and asked in confusion,
"What exactly happened?"
Zhuge Lan sighed. It was all due to his lust. He had no way of explaining such a matter.
Helpless, he could only smile and say,
"Don't ask. It's all my fault for making Rongrong angry."
With that, Zhuge Lan stepped forward, took Ning Rongrong's hand, and said,
"Rongrong, I was wrong."
Ning Rongrong's expression softened a little. It seemed some of the anger in her heart had subsided, but regarding this action,
She immediately flung Zhuge Lan's hand away and then coldly snorted,
"Don't touch me."
Zhuge Lan was helpless and could only follow behind her. He couldn't leave now; if he did, it would be troublesome later.
Their future relationship would be difficult to handle, especially at this moment, quietly waiting.
Dugu Bo, standing nearby, stretched lazily and then said,
"How about I take you two out for a drink? That might make you feel better."
Zhuge Lan, at this moment, didn't know whether to go or not, so he looked at Ning Rongrong and said,
"Rongrong, want to go for a drink together?"
Ning Rongrong glared at Zhuge Lan, then looked at Dugu Bo and said,
"Let's go, let's go for a drink. Zhuge Lan is driving me crazy today."
Dugu Bo's face broke into a smile, and he then said,
"Let's go. A drink can drown a thousand sorrows, don't worry."
Zhuge Lan thought about it and felt it made sense. Today was truly unlucky; he had encountered such a situation.
That Leng Xiaoxue really messed him up. If he met her somewhere else next time,
He would definitely make her pay.
