Chapter 1277 - 1298: Xia Xiaonuan Hit by a Slipper
Xia Xiaonuan closed her eyes.
The kiss was light and brief.
But it held absolute power, rippling through their hearts.
Actually, they both cared about each other; neither wanted to lose the other, right?
So why were they still being so disagreeable?
Nangong Yaoling gently bit her lips; a swirl of nipping and suckling followed, his nimble tongue parting her teeth and entering.
After a spin, he slowly released her.
He looked at her slightly flushed cheeks and whispered, "Xiaonuan, I know you’re kind and want to turn big issues into small ones. But this time, I can’t listen to you."
Xia Xiaonuan raised her eyes.
Nangong Yaoling continued, "I must find out who’s behind this, for Shaochen’s sake. I can’t let him be hurt in vain."
"He doesn’t need it!" Xia Xiaonuan shouted, "Why must you always go to extremes? Nangong Yaoling, you..."
Before finishing her sentence, Nangong Yaoling’s face had already turned extremely cold.
He gave her a chilly look, moved away from her, and turned his face away in anger.
Xia Xiaonuan, seeing his anger halfway through her speech, swallowed her words.
"That’s not what I mean..." She tugged at his clothes, murmuring, "Nangong Yaoling..."
"Young Master, we’ve arrived," the driver in front spoke respectfully.
Nangong Yaoling said nothing, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Xia Xiaonuan followed Nangong Yaoling into the villa.
Once inside, Nangong Yaoling tugged at his collar, didn’t bother removing his shoes, and headed straight upstairs.
Xia Xiaonuan hurriedly changed her shoes and quickly caught up.
Nangong Yaoling lay on the bedroom bed.
His heart was equally chaotic.
Because of Liang Shaochen’s injury for Xiaonuan, and now Xiaonuan having a spat with him.
He’s not afraid of those who hurt him; however, his greatest worry is when they target Xia Xiaonuan.
She is his greatest concern, but why doesn’t she understand?
No matter what he says or does, she’s not satisfied.
Xia Xiaonuan walked into the bedroom with a pair of blue slippers and looked at Nangong Yaoling lying on the bed.
She rushed forward, half-kneeling at the bedside, to remove his shoes.
"Get away." Nangong Yaoling forbade her from moving, shifting his foot aside.
Xia Xiaonuan held his leg, not allowing him to move, and forcefully removed his shoes.
Nangong Yaoling glanced at her, flames of anger in his eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan placed his shoes in the corner and changed them for slippers.
Nangong Yaoling flicked his foot, sending the slipper flying, hitting the opposite wall, and bouncing down.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
She stepped forward to pick up a slipper.
As she prepared to walk over, Nangong Yaoling flicked another slipper.
Xia Xiaonuan turned around just in time for the slipper to fly at her, hitting her face and striking her eye.
"Ah—!" Xia Xiaonuan cried out in pain, covering her eye.
Nangong Yaoling’s face changed upon hearing this.
He quickly got up, saw Xia Xiaonuan curled up in the corner, covering her eye, and rushed over, asking, "What’s wrong?"
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head, covering her eye.
"Are you a fool? Can’t you dodge? A slipper can hit you?" He shouted in anger.
Xia Xiaonuan listened to his yell, and tears suddenly streamed down, unsure whether it was from pain or another reason.
Nangong Yaoling saw her tears and was completely panicked.
He hurriedly crouched down, helplessly looking at her, softening his voice, "Is it serious? Where did it hit? Let me see quickly."
