Chapter 3309: Go Away, I Want to Talk to the Empress Alone

Editor: Atlas Studios

He had grown up by Nie Qingru’s side. He had an indescribable sense of dependence on his biological sister.

However, the age difference was still there. He couldn’t accept the appearance of someone of this age.

As time pa.s.sed, he accidentally discovered a photo of Nie Qingru when she was young.

He hid the photo and subconsciously began to search for prey based on that appearance.

This was his biggest secret.

Almost no one knew.

He wouldn’t let anyone know either.

Once that woman was discovered, his secret would be exposed.

That was why he couldn’t hand that woman to his sister.

Because once Uncle Ning and his sister saw that person, they would discover his dirty thoughts.

“For an ordinary woman, you would rather be hospitalized than come clean with me?” Nie Qingru’s voice was emotionless and flat. “I told you before that as my future successor, you can’t tolerate any stains on yourself. Any stain can be a death warrant!”

Nie Qixing still did not understand the seriousness of the matter and thought that Nie Qingru was just teaching him a lesson.

He said dejectedly, “I’m sorry, Sis.”

Nie Qingru looked at him with a secretive gaze and did not reply for a while.

Thinking she was still angry, Nie Qixing took a deep breath and apologized. “I promise I won’t make the same mistake again.

“You’re not in good health. Don’t hurt your health because of me.”

The last sentence was his heartfelt concern.

Nie Qingru frowned slightly and looked at him deeply. After a long time, she bent down and patted his shoulder.

“Forget it.”

Ever since Nie Qixing provoked Qiao Nian recently, he had been unlucky.

It had been a long time since Nie Qingru treated him so kindly. It was as if he had returned to the past. He called out softly, “Sister, are you… not angry with me anymore?”

Nie Qingru quickly retracted her hand. She was expressionless, but she gave him a rare gentle look. “Rest early.”

Nie Qixing’s nervousness also eased. He nodded and smiled at her. “You too.”

Nie Qingru’s sharp gaze paused on his face for a second before she turned around and left the ward without looking back.

Shadow did not follow her immediately. Instead, as if he sensed something, he looked back at the person on the bed who knew nothing with a heavy gaze.

“Young Master Qi…”

“Mm?”

Nie Qixing was in a good mood after receiving Nie Qingru’s ‘forgiveness’. His tone became much lighter. “What’s the matter, Uncle Ning?”

Shadow looked at him and how he did not know anything. His lips were extremely heavy, and his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. He could not open his mouth no matter what.

His eyes gradually turned red.

Nie Qixing found it strange and was about to ask him, “Uncle Ning, you…”

Nie Qingru’s cold but domineering voice came from outside. “Shadow, what are you still doing inside?”

Shadow s.h.i.+vered and looked outside.

He knew he could not stay any longer, and he also could not reveal anything to Nie Qixing. After a short hesitation, he walked out of the ward with heavy steps.

…

Outside the hospital.

Shadow did not know what he felt as he left the hospital and approached the parking lot.

He watched as the chauffeur opened the door for the elegant person.

Nie Qingru was about to get into the car.

He pinched his palm and could not help but say to the chauffeur, “Go away. I want to talk to the Empress alone.”
