Chapter 1318 - 1335: Almost Entwined Until Dawn
In the face of someone we deeply love, we are all romantic fools, sometimes to the extreme, willing to give everything for him/her. Yet we would rather remain foolish like this, for a lifetime.
"Xiaonuan... I want you... I want you so badly..." Nangong Yaoling murmured huskily and ambiguously while nibbling on her earlobe.
A shiver ran through her body, Xiaonuan trembled slightly and slowly closed her eyes.
All night long, the two were entangled almost until dawn.
******
Without Nangong Yaoling, Xiaonuan felt that such a night would have been very difficult to fall asleep.
When she woke up, it was already noon, and naturally, Nangong Yaoling had already left. She didn’t even know what time he got up to go to the company, in short, she had no impression at all.
In her mind, she kept replaying the dreams from last night, one after another.
She dreamt that her child was born, very cute. Even as it was born, it could call her mommy...
It was a very bizarre dream, yet she laughed so happily in the dream, including Nangong Yaoling, both wearing looks of happiness.
She lay in bed in a daze for a while, then turned over and got out of bed.
As she walked out of the door, the servant cleaning in the hallway was startled.
The servant hurriedly put down the tools and walked up, looking at Xia Xiaonuan, said: "Young Mistress, did I wake you? I’m sorry, Young Master instructed us not to wake you when he left... I..."
Xia Xiaonuan quickly smiled and said: "It’s not your fault, I woke up on my own. You can continue with your work."
The servant sighed in relief.
He promptly smiled respectfully and said, "Young Mistress, Young Master really cares about you. When he left this morning, he specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare something delicious for you, so you can eat whenever you wake up. By now, you should be able to eat as soon as you go down."
Recalling Nangong Yaoling, Xia Xiaonuan felt a gentle warmth in her heart.
"I understand," she said with a smile.
After eating breakfast, "or rather lunch," Xiaonuan went upstairs.
Holding that necklace in her hand, she couldn’t calm down regardless.
Where on earth did this necklace come from?
She thought of the scene when Shaochen was talking that day, his expression seemed somewhat unnatural. She also recalled how at the banquet, he repeatedly brought up this necklace, with obvious implications.
Her heart gradually sank.
Could it really be him who did it?
But why would he want to harm her child? Just because she was pregnant with Nangong Yaoling’s child?
No, he is Nan Mo, how could Nan Mo treat her like this?
Xiaonuan placed the necklace in her palm, gradually tightening her grip.
She must get to the bottom of this.
******
Xiaonuan packed everything up and just as she was about to go out, her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello..."
"Hello, is this Miss Xia? I am Tang Yan..."
Xia Xiaonuan was slightly stunned.
She hesitated for a few seconds, unable to recall who this person was.
"I am a friend of Qi Yue. We met at the banquet last time."
With this prompt, Xiaonuan finally remembered.
It turned out to be Tang Yan, the heir of the Tang Family.
She hurriedly said, "Hello, do you... have anything to do?"
"I know calling you out of the blue like this might seem a bit abrupt, but I really have something important, hoping to meet with you... it’s... about Qi Yue..."
Xiaonuan frowned slightly.
She wasn’t quite clear on what exactly the relationship between Tang Yan and Qi Yue was.
But since the other party mentioned it, and it was about Qi Yue, she had no reason to refuse.
