Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1207: Why Are You Helping Me?

"What exactly are you trying to do? Why did you do these things on my wedding day?"

"...You’ve lost a lot of weight."

He answered evasively.

Clearly, she used to laugh like a child every day. How did so much change in such a short time?

She no longer smiled.

The pain in his eyes made Wen Xiao’ai feel perplexed, "Are you listening to me?"

"You don’t want to marry Ye Qi."

Nie Jiuque was straightforward.

Wen Xiao’ai frowned slightly, puzzled why Nie Jiuque knew these things.

"So what? What are you doing?"

"Of course, I’m taking you away. You surely don’t want to marry him and become Mrs. Ye, do you?"

"We just had a chance encounter; we share no bond. Why are you risking your safety for this? As far as I know, you have enemies among both the Heaven Realm’s Immortals and the Netherworld’s ghosts. If they find out you’re not dead, do you know what will happen?"

"Are you concerned about me?"

His dark eyes suddenly seemed illuminated, and for a moment, Wen Xiao’ai felt like she saw stars in his eyes.

Wen Xiao’ai sometimes felt he was familiar, yet other times he seemed so foreign.

Like now, she completely couldn’t understand what this man in front of her was thinking.

"I just don’t understand why you’re doing this; is it because I resemble Immortal Shang Ying?"

No, you are her.

He dared not say this, at least not now.

Nie Jiuque lowered his eyes slightly, then spoke, "Just think of it that way, but in any case, you don’t want to marry him, and I have brought you out. You no longer have to marry him."

Wen Xiao’ai stared at him for a moment, uncertain whether to thank him or hate him.

"I won’t thank you because you are the Demon Lord. I also don’t think you’re helping me. Some things I can escape for a moment, but not forever."

"Is it because of Jun Moyan?"

Wen Xiao’ai frowned again.

"How much do you know about me?"

He knew everything about her, and this feeling made her uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

Even if he truly meant her no harm.

"Rest assured, I can protect Jun Moyan for you and prevent anyone from hurting him. You can safely stay here."

"Why should I trust you?"

Nie Jiuque couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Now, even his concern for her needs justification.

"Just regard it as... atoning for the sins against your deceased clansmen..."

"Don’t mention my clan. Your Demon Clan has no right, and I don’t need to bear your sins." At the mention of her dead clan members, Wen Xiao’ai felt overwhelming hatred.

"...Alright... Whether you believe me or not, I’m telling the truth. If you truly don’t believe me, you could go back now and continue marrying Ye Qi. But I must tell you, whether you marry Ye Qi or not, your grandmother, Clan Leader Wen, will not spare Jun Moyan."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiao’ai emotionally retorted, "Impossible, my grandmother clearly promised me that as long as I marry Brother Ye Qi, Jun Moyan will be fine."

Wen Xiao’ai seemed to hear a faint sigh.

"Little girl, I, Nie Jiuque, have lived for thousands of years; some things I can understand at a glance."

"No, my grandmother clearly promised me..."

Wen Xiao’ai had a pale face, shaking her head.

"Trust me, it’s very safe here. You can stay for now; I promise you that I won’t let your grandmother harm Jun Moyan, nor will I harm your grandmother or your clan members. When the time is right, I will ensure Zuo Yan pays back the Cat Demon Clan with his life."

"Why are you helping me?"
