Chapter 1351 - 1368: Nangong Yaoling’s Warning
"Actually, a month ago, when Rasha’er left, I had people track her. The purpose was to find Situ Yan’s residence..."
"..."
"But Rasha’er’s influence was greater than I expected. As soon as she arrived in Australia, there were people to meet her. Our team was small, and they were discovered.
Seven or eight brothers died, and originally, I never intended to harm Rasha’er.
However... she was accidentally injured in the struggle. But, according to my people, she’s not in any life-threatening danger, and she should be fine by now."
Xiaonuan’s eyes widened.
"You... you actually..."
"Xiaonuan..." Nangong Yaoling squeezed her hand, looking at her: "I promised you I wouldn’t hurt her, so I let her go. But that doesn’t mean I will let Situ Yan go. It’s just a pity..."
At this point, Nangong Yaoling seemed somewhat frustrated.
Xia Xiaonuan was torn between laughter and tears.
She thought for a moment and then said, "Then this matter... ah, could it be that when I mentioned her at noon today, you still thought I was talking about Rasha’er?"
Nangong Yaoling reached out, cupping Xiaonuan’s cheeks: "Clever!"
Xiaonuan’s entire body suddenly relaxed with relief.
"But are you sure Rasha’er is okay?"
"I’m sure!"
Only then did Xiaonuan nod in reassurance.
"I thought..."
Nangong Yaoling reached out, pulling her into his arms, bowing his head, and gently kissing her lips.
"I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to misunderstand and worry... It’s good to talk about it now."
Xiaonuan nodded.
Thinking of something, she said, "Tomorrow I plan to visit Qi Yue."
Nangong Yaoling frowned: "I’ll go with you."
"No!" Xiaonuan quickly said: "Qi Yue now mistakenly thinks it was you who harmed her child. If you go now, she will be very agitated. It’s better if I go and explain first. After the truth comes out, you can meet her."
Nangong Yaoling reluctantly agreed: "Alright... don’t worry, I’ll have someone investigate. Whoever dared to impersonate me to harm others is asking for death!"
Xiaonuan nodded.
Looking at Nangong Yaoling: "Thank you."
Nangong Yaoling held her face, his gaze showing a trace of heat, yet carrying an inexplicable glimmer.
"Xiaonuan... I want you to belong to me alone."
Xiaonuan was slightly taken aback.
The next second, remembering something vaguely, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Uneasily, she explained: "Everything on Qi Yue’s side is managed by Shaochen... so..."
"So you threw yourself into his arms?" Nangong Yaoling asked, gritting his teeth.
"At that time, I thought it was you, and I was emotionally upset. Besides, we didn’t even hug..." She explained awkwardly.
"No way..." She frowned slightly, glaring at him: "How do you know what I did today?"
Nangong Yaoling let out a long sigh.
"Never mind how I know, I’m only asking you." He pinched her chin: "If this really was my doing, were you planning to leave me directly and throw yourself into Liang Shaochen’s arms?"
Xiaonuan was speechless.
Looking at his stern face, his tone severe yet full of clenched teeth, she couldn’t help but laugh.
She wrapped her arms around his neck: "What are you talking about? There’s no way between him and me! I never even thought about being with him..."
"Just because you don’t want to, doesn’t mean he doesn’t! Xiaonuan, never trust a man too much, he will never be good to a woman for no reason!"
