Chapter 1517 - 1534: Say You Love Me Again
However, the thing that reassured her was that even though he misunderstood her and was angry with her, whenever someone tried to hurt her, Nangong Yaoling would still stand up for her without hesitation.
Originally, when she had just argued with Yang Zi’er, she even worried that Nangong Yaoling would take Yang Zi’er’s side out of anger to retaliate against her.
If that happened, she really wouldn’t have been able to salvage the situation.
But unexpectedly, Nangong Yaoling not only didn’t do that, he even drove Yang Zi’er away.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a warm feeling inside, but thinking of another matter, she couldn’t help feeling as if a weight was pressing on her heart.
As soon as they entered the bedroom, Nangong Yaoling grabbed Xia Xiaonuan’s arm and threw her onto the bed.
Xia Xiaonuan, feeling disoriented, quickly scrambled up and said, "Nangong Yaoling, it’s not what you think... I just happened to bump into Liang Shaochen..."
"Oh really?" Nangong Yaoling sneered coldly, his voice indifferent. He was still unsteady on his feet, stumbling over to the sofa and holding onto it to barely stand upright.
His expression turned very grim.
He seemed like a completely different person from outside just now.
The man who had held her, asking for forgiveness, now turned hostile and refused to acknowledge her.
But Xia Xiaonuan was still thankful he didn’t turn hostile in front of Yang Zi’er.
It seemed that even if he was drunk, his mind was still clear; in fact, no one understood more clearly than he did.
Or maybe he wasn’t that drunk after all.
After all, with Nangong Yaoling being so smart, how could he really get so drunk when with Yang Zi’er?
If that were the case, he would have already been taken to a hotel by Yang Zi’er and knocked over...
Thinking about Yang Zi’er made Xia Xiaonuan feel nauseous.
So, in other words, he wasn’t that drunk downstairs just now?
Was he pretending?
Looking at his cold and proud back, Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help feeling a tug in her heart.
This guy was indeed more deep and scheming than she imagined...

Xia Xiaonuan bit her lower lip—she only had a few days left, and she didn’t want to spend them quarreling with him...
She got out of bed and walked up behind Nangong Yaoling, embracing him from behind.
He was wearing a white shirt, exuding a familiar scent, and she pressed her face against his back.
"Get off." Nangong Yaoling grabbed her arm, trying to pry her away.
But Xia Xiaonuan clung to him tightly, refusing to let go.
"Nangong Yaoling... I really didn’t lie to you, I really just happened to run into him, I don’t know why it happened that way, then he just offered to give me a ride back..."
Nangong Yaoling angrily retorted, "Oh really? Just offered to give you a ride back? I think he was all too happy to personally bring you back!"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
Nangong Yaoling was still intent on pushing her away, holding her wrist, and seeing her clinging so stubbornly, he sighed, heavily breathing, and finally spoke up, "What you said just now, that you only love me, is that true?"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
So when she said that earlier, he actually listened?
She thought he hadn’t paid any attention at all...
"Yes."
Nangong Yaoling held her hand as Xia Xiaonuan slowly released him.
Nangong Yaoling turned around, his tall figure standing before the floor-to-ceiling window. He reached out his hand and lifted her chin.
"Yes what?" he frowned, staring at her eyes with dissatisfaction.
"Yes?" Xia Xiaonuan looked confused. Wasn’t he asking if what she said was true?
"Repeat what you said!" he impatiently barked.
