Chapter 1350 - 1367: I Want You to Belong Only to Me
"She’s so cute..." Rasha’er exclaimed.
Lang Ba remembered something and looked at the housekeeper: "Housekeeper Hera, have you found the nurse I asked you to hire?"
The housekeeper quickly replied: "The timing was fairly urgent, but I’ve already selected over a hundred qualified candidates from across the country, and we’re conducting health checks, personality tests, and various assessments. I believe after a few more selections, we should be able to find a suitable nurse within a week!"
Lang Ba nodded.
"This matter concerns the little princess’s health, be sure to be meticulous!"
"Yes!"
Lang Ba picked up the child and walked to Situ Yan’s bedside.
"Yandi, you already have a child! Look, she’s so cute... please wake up..."
Situ Yan lay with eyes closed, while the sleeping baby slowly opened her eyes, gazing at the man on the bed with eyes wide open.
She waved her little hand twice at the sky, and her lips seemed to curve into a smile.

While bathing at night, Xiaonuan suddenly felt something was off.
"If Nangong Yaoling doesn’t know about Qi Yue’s matter, then how could he know what she’s talking about? And even respond to her?"
Moreover, he explained in the afternoon it was due to being short-tempered.
But even if he was angry, how would he know she was talking about a woman?
A suspicious feeling emerged in Xiaonuan’s heart, and her originally relaxed mood became tense once more.
When she walked out wearing a bath towel, already finished bathing, Nangong Yaoling was wearing a bathrobe, working on his notebook by the bedside.
While Xiaonuan wiped her hair, she walked towards him.
Nangong Yaoling didn’t even lift his head: "Finished bathing?"
Xiaonuan said nothing.
After a dozen seconds, Nangong Yaoling finally noticed something was amiss.
He lifted his eyes and looked at Xiaonuan.
Seeing her gaze at him with complex emotions, he was slightly startled.
Quickly, he put aside his notebook and reached out to grab her arm, gently pulling.
He pulled her to sit on his lap.
He let his head rest behind her ear, taking in the scent from her body greedily, then lifted his eyes and said: "Why, what are you daydreaming about?"
Xiaonuan struggled to get up, turned to face him.
Seriously, she spoke: "Nangong Yaoling... are you lying to me?"
Nangong Yaoling’s face changed.
He frowned and said: "What are you talking about? Xiaonuan, didn’t we have a good talk today?"
"You clearly knew what I was talking about this afternoon." Xiaonuan stated firmly.
After speaking, she suddenly felt a bit regretful.
Why is she insisting on knowing the truth?
Perhaps the truth would cause her heartache, make her hurt, lead to despair.
But... she couldn’t let this matter just pass ambiguously.
She was willing to trust him, but the condition was his complete honesty.
Nangong Yaoling’s pupils contracted slightly.
A trace of helplessness flashed across his face.
The next moment, he pulled her hand.
His broad palm intertwined with her fingers.
He led her to sit on the bed.
"Xiaonuan... I originally didn’t want to tell you about this..."
Xiaonuan gazed at Nangong Yaoling, her pupils widened.
Her hair was still dripping with water, flowing down to her collarbone, sliding slowly down her chest.
Yet she suddenly felt the whole world disappeared, leaving just her battling alone.
Shielding herself from Nangong Yaoling, she was suddenly very afraid.
Her heart also experienced a tremble of nervousness.
Could it be... he really...
"Actually, a month ago, when Rasha’er left, I had someone follow her. The purpose was to track down Situ Yan’s residence..."
