Chapter 1312 - 1329: Because I Am Qiqi 2
But now, since he already knows so much, I’m afraid it would still implicate Shaochen!
Perhaps...
"Actually... that’s because, because... I..."
"What are you trying to say?" Nangong Yaoling stared deeply, raising an eyebrow.
"I’d like to hear, what else can you possibly explain? You used drugs for Situ Yan and took a sword for Liang Shaochen. But to me, you are completely indifferent!
Xia Xiaonuan, is it because you are too kind or do you want all men to be hung up on you?"
Xia Xiaonuan’s whole body shuddered.
Was he calling her promiscuous?
Xia Xiaonuan’s nose tingled as she had never expected such words to come from Nangong Yaoling.
She bit her lower lip, opened her mouth but felt her throat tightening with emotion.
Still, she spoke: "It’s not like that... that’s because, I am Qiqi."
Nangong Yaoling stood there, stunned for over ten seconds.
However, after those few seconds, he suddenly burst out laughing.
As he laughed, he reached out, his warm, slender fingertips brushed across Xia Xiaonuan’s face.
"Xiaonuan, you’re Qiqi? Do you take me, Nangong Yaoling, for a fool? Using such a clumsy excuse to evade me! I’d rather you say nothing!"
Xia Xiaonuan was completely frozen.
The sensation of his fingertips made her feel as if an electric current was rushing across her cheeks, hitting straight at her heart.
"No... I..."
"Enough!" Nangong Yaoling interrupted her, eyes reddening as he said, "Please, don’t insult my Qiqi."
With that, he released her chin, turned around, and strode towards the door.
Xia Xiaonuan stood there as if struck by lightning, paralyzed, while the silhouette of Nangong Yaoling leaving became blurred and disappeared from her view.
The door slammed shut heavily.
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart took a hard hit.
She collapsed onto the sofa.
In her mind and ears, his words resounded repeatedly.
Don’t insult my Qiqi...
She reached out and covered her lips.
Who would have thought that the day she mustered the courage to tell him the truth, this would be the response she gets.
She suddenly started laughing, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Sitting on the sofa, she quivered slightly all over.
She didn’t understand why he clung to something that happened so long ago.
And now, when she disregarded everything to reveal the truth, he wouldn’t believe her.
What should she do? What else could she do?
Don’t insult my Qiqi...
But I am Qiqi! Nangong Yaoling, you detestable man!
Xia Xiaonuan clenched her fists and looked at the fruits and clutter on the table. With one sweep, she knocked everything off the coffee table onto the floor.
The maid and the butler in the corner were completely stunned.
The butler cautiously stepped forward, avoiding the debris on the floor, looking at Xia Xiaonuan with concern, "Madam, are you alright?"
Xia Xiaonuan reached out and wiped her face.
She lowered her head and said calmly, "I’m fine."
With that, she got up and rushed upstairs.
The servants rushed out from the corners.
They looked upstairs and then at the doorway where the Young Master disappeared.
"What do we do? How did Madam and the Young Master end up like this?"
"Yeah, Young Master must have misunderstood Madam! Madam loves the Young Master so much, and he loves her deeply too. Why can’t they just get along?"
"Ah, who knows? By the way, it all started because Mr. Liang got sick.
