Chapter 1354 - 1371: Showdown at the Airport (Part 2)
"Really, there’s no need." Xiaonuan hurriedly shook her head and said, "Don’t you still have things to handle at your company? I can go by myself, it’s really fine."
Halfway through her words, Xiaonuan suddenly saw Nangong Yaoling lift his eyes, his expression immediately turning quite unpleasant.
She paused slightly in surprise.
"What are you looking at?" she asked curiously, speaking as she followed Nangong Yaoling’s gaze.
She saw Liang Shaochen and Nangong Zhongli appear together in view, Liang Shaochen wearing a slate-gray suit, looking clean and elegant; Nangong Zhongli was beside him, in high heels, equally noble in demeanor.
Originally, Xiaonuan and Nangong Yaoling at the airport had already attracted many bystander’s gazes, and with the appearance of Liang Shaochen and Zhongli approaching, they drew even more frequent glances.
Xiaonuan watched as Nangong Zhongli smiled slightly, involuntarily clenching her fist.
Liang Shaochen stepped forward with a breezy smile and spoke: "Crown Prince, Xiaonuan..."
Nangong Yaoling spoke with a half-smile: "What a coincidence, Mr. Liang is going out as well? But, your luggage... is it Zhongli’s then?"
He rasped sarcastically.
"Brother, what are you saying?" Nangong Zhongli chided with flushed cheeks, glancing at Liang Shaochen: "However... if Shaochen is willing to go out, I’m willing to be his luggage."
A flash of awkwardness passed through Liang Shaochen’s eyes, but he continued to smile and said, "Of course not, I’m here to find you and Xiaonuan for something."
Xiaonuan hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"
For Shaochen to chase all the way to the airport, it must be something urgent.
Could it be about Qi Yue?
"Qi Yue has left."
"What?" Xiaonuan’s eyes widened.
Beside her, Nangong Yaoling also slightly furrowed his brows.
Liang Shaochen explained:
"She texted me this morning, and when I called back, her phone was already off. When Nanny Li went there, she found Qi Yue gone, along with some of her personal belongings and luggage."
Xiaonuan froze in place.
"How could this happen... She’s alone, still in her postpartum confinement, how could she just leave like that?" Xiaonuan asked anxiously, "Have you sent someone to look for her?"
"Yes, we’ve looked everywhere, the airport and some nearby hotels, but there’s no sign of her."
As Liang Shaochen spoke, he took out his phone.
He opened it, presenting a message to Xiaonuan.
Xiaonuan quickly took the phone.
"Mr. Liang... I’m leaving, sorry I can’t say goodbye to you in person. Thank you for your help and care during this time, I’m truly grateful. I will repay your kindness if I have the chance in the future. But now... I just want to quietly leave this place and live the life I want.
Please tell Xiaonuan I’m sorry. I may be breaking my promise to her and leaving without a word once again.
But now, I really don’t know how to face her. Also, tell her, I won’t hate Young Master. This child was an accident, and now everything has returned to the beginning, which is just as well.
I’m gone, please tell Xiaonuan not to look for me, give me some independent space, so I can peacefully live the life I desire. If we are fated, we will meet again in the future.
Qi Yue."
Seeing the final words and her name, tears involuntarily welled up in Xiaonuan’s eyes.
Qi Yue... why are you so foolish?
None of this was Young Master’s doing at all!
Nangong Yaoling reached out, pulling Xiaonuan into his embrace.
