Chapter 1337 - 1354: Unwilling to Believe He Did It
He felt bitter inside and slightly turned his face away.
His gaze shifted to the front of the car.
The sunlight outlined the man’s delicate jawline, his clear-cut features, with a touch of complexity and restraint.
"Maybe... it’s just an accident..."
"Maybe?" Xiaonuan looked at Liang Shaochen, puzzled.
"Why is it maybe? Could it be..." Xiaonuan thought of something, her face suddenly changed dramatically.
"Shaochen, what do you mean by that? Tell me! What’s going on?!" Xiaonuan urgently questioned loudly.
Liang Shaochen turned his head and gave Xiaonuan a somewhat sympathetic glance.
He continued truthfully, "Qi Yue said, when those people who hit him were driving away, they said something..."
"..."
"They said, Young Master had ordered that the child must be eliminated..."
Xiaonuan felt her mind buzzing.
She stared widely at Liang Shaochen.
After a while, she shook her head and said, "No... It can’t be... Yaoling promised me he wouldn’t hurt her... wouldn’t hurt that child..."
Liang Shaochen grabbed Xiaonuan’s wrist, "Xiaonuan, did he really promise you? But besides him, who else would be so eager to get rid of Situ Yan’s child? All of this, Qi Yue heard personally... If you don’t believe it, you can call her and ask..."
Xiaonuan’s wrist was painfully squeezed by Shaochen.
She didn’t understand why Shaochen’s reaction was even more intense than hers.
Still, she was unwilling to believe... Unwilling to believe all this was done by Nangong Yaoling...
She closed her eyes.
"No... It can’t be..."
Liang Shaochen looked at her pure and beautiful face, the tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
Suddenly, he wanted to hold her and kiss her fiercely.
But, he just thought about it, and that thought was swiftly reined in by reason.
There was a fire in his heart, stoked up, making him feel oppressed.
Why, no matter what Nangong Yaoling did, she was willing to trust him?
And no matter what he said or did, she would doubt him?
Liang Shaochen somewhat numbly released Xiaonuan’s hand.
Xiaonuan seemed to feel a bit dejected.
"I don’t want to believe he did it either... But, given his ways, ruthless and decisive, I have no choice but to believe... Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding here."
Xiaonuan felt her mind buzzing.
Her own issues weren’t resolved yet, and now... something happened to Qi Yue again.
How could this happen?
She recalled Nangong Yaoling’s last visit to Amelia, when she called him, he seemingly did not give her a clear answer.
He just finally left with her.
She thought this matter was past.
Yet unexpectedly, Qi Yue still got hurt in the end...
Xiaonuan felt a mix of annoyance and self-blame, if... if she could’ve brought Qi Yue by her side, or been with her every day, would such things have happened?
Thinking of Qi Yue, if this matter was truly done by Nangong Yaoling, then how would she face Qi Yue in the future?
Xiaonuan shook her head, she simply dared not think further.
She raised her eyes and looked at Liang Shaochen, "Where is Qi Yue now... Where is she now?"
"Don’t worry, she’s been taken home. Now she should be with Nanny Li."
Xiaonuan nodded.
She took out her phone and dialed Qi Yue’s number.
Liang Shaochen watched Xiaonuan, his pupils flashed complexity.
The call was answered after a long while.
"Hello... Yueyue... is that you?"
"Xiaonuan... Do you need something?" Qi Yue’s voice seemed somewhat weak.
