Chapter 1335 - 1352: Nangong Yaoling Did It 1
"But..." Thinking of something, he awkwardly said, "I bought it a long time ago and always kept it in my office drawer. That day I intended to give it to you, but... you rejected me, so I just slipped it into your pocket."
Xiaonuan nodded in response.
So, if there’s something wrong with that necklace, if it wasn’t Shaochen who did it, then someone must have switched it in his office...
"Xiaonuan, is there something wrong with that necklace?" Liang Shaochen, seeing her silence, couldn’t help but grab her wrist and ask nervously.
Could it be, was it really because of him... because of his carelessness, that she had a miscarriage?
Xiaonuan said bitterly, "I found someone..."
"Ding..."
At that moment, Liang Shaochen’s phone suddenly rang.
Both of them were taken aback.
Liang Shaochen apologized, "Sorry..."
He spoke while taking out his phone to take a look.
Seeing Nangong Zhongli’s name, a shadow passed over his eyes.
He placed the phone aside.
"Why aren’t you answering it?" Xiaonuan asked curiously.
"It’s nothing, probably a wrong number." Liang Shaochen smiled slightly.
Nangong Zhongli sat in the car, watching Liang Shaochen toss his phone aside, his face almost turning green with anger.
Damn it!
Shaochen, you’re not answering my calls again, all because of Xia Xiaonuan!
Nangong Zhongli trembled with rage, his eyes glaring at Xiaonuan, wishing he could skin her alive.
Unwilling to give up, he continued dialing.
"Xiaonuan...you..."
"Ding..."
Just as Liang Shaochen started to speak, the phone’s ringtone pierced the air again.
Liang Shaochen’s expression changed slightly. He glanced at Xiaonuan, resignedly picked up the phone, and answered.
"What is it?"
"Shaochen...what are you doing? Why are you only answering now?" Nangong Zhongli tried to suppress his anger and asked in a soft voice.
"I’m very busy right now. If it’s not urgent, let’s talk later." Liang Shaochen said in a flat tone.
"Shaochen, I’ve been really worried about you these days. You left the hospital before you recovered, and also went on a business trip for two days. What kind of important matter requires you to attend to it personally while injured?"
"It’s company matters. It’s all taken care of now." Liang Shaochen forced a smile. "Take care of yourself. I’m hanging up now."
"Sigh... Shaochen... beep beep..."
Nangong Zhongli looked at the disconnected phone, grinding his teeth in anger.
Xiaonuan gazed out the window, her mind in turmoil.
This call, if she guessed correctly, should be from Nangong Zhongli...
Should she trust Shaochen? If she told Shaochen about this, would he help her deal with Nangong Zhongli?
After all, they are in a romantic relationship now.
If she voiced her suspicions to Shaochen, and if Shaochen and Nangong Zhongli turned against each other, wouldn’t that complicate things before the truth was uncovered?
Xiaonuan clenched her fists.
"Xiaonuan..."
The man’s low, hoarse voice came through.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiaonuan snapped back to the present, looking at the handsome face in front of her.
Thinking of something, she smiled and said, "Oh right, didn’t you say you had something to tell me? Where have you been these past few days? Why did you leave the hospital in such a hurry?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Shaochen was silent for a moment.
"Xiaonuan, there’s something, I... I don’t know how to tell you..."
Xiaonuan was slightly stunned.
She quickly said, "What is it exactly? Tell me now!"
"It’s about Qi Yue... she’s... she’s not doing too well right now..."
