Chapter 1008 - 1028: Haven’t You Always Hated Me?
But, this might be for the best.
She touched her abdomen, trying hard not to think too much.
Right now, she only hoped that she could safely give birth to their baby, that would be the happiest thing!

Coffee shop.
Jiang Xue looked at Nangong Zhongli in front of her, frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you ask me here, what exactly do you want?"
Nangong Zhongli stirred the coffee stick in front of him, smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, there’s no need to be so wary of me, we might not be enemies now."
Jiang Xue extended her hand, looking at her newly done nails.
She sneered, "What? If we’re not enemies, are we friends then?"
"Perhaps, but personally, I absolutely disdain being friends with someone sly like you..."
"You—!" Jiang Xue gritted her teeth in anger but only clenched her fists. Seeing Nangong Zhongli’s relaxed face, she calmed herself and said, "Being a cunning person is still better than someone who pretends on the surface but is deceitful behind the scenes!"
Nangong Zhongli raised an eyebrow.
"Last time, when you called me to the airport, wasn’t it just to stop Xia Xiaonuan from staying? You two are supposedly good friends, yet you schemed behind her back to drive her away."
Nangong Zhongli elegantly sipped his coffee.
"I once considered her a friend, but now, we are no longer friends."
"What are you saying?" Jiang Xue was completely stunned.
Last time, in the hospital, she had deliberately provoked, and Nangong Zhongli even helped Xiaonuan to deal with her together.
Every time, wasn’t she always closely allied with Xia Xiaonuan?
How did they suddenly become like this?
Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes.
"Nangong Zhongli, are you pretending to have a fallout with Xiaonuan just to scheme against me? If so, you will be disappointed."
"You’re overthinking." Nangong Zhongli’s expression turned cold, unwilling to go around in circles anymore, he spoke directly: "Anyone trying to take Liang Shaochen away is my enemy.
Now, your target is the Crown Prince; while mine is Shaochen, so, we’re fundamentally not opponents."
Jiang Xue was slightly taken aback.
With a serious tone, she said, "I... I still don’t understand, you... haven’t you always hated me? In Shaochen’s heart, isn’t..."
"Heh..." Nangong Zhongli let out a cold laugh.
Jiang Xue’s expression changed.
"Miss Jiang, there’s no need to keep acting in front of me. Don’t you find it exhausting to keep pretending?"
"I..." Jiang Xue clenched her fists, her eyes flashing a trace of panic: "I don’t know what you’re talking about!?"
"You are not Xia Qiqi, you used Xia Qiqi’s identity to stay by the Crown Prince’s side, what is your purpose?" Nangong Zhongli raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and coldly asked.
Jiang Xue gritted her teeth.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Keep pretending?"
"..." Jiang Xue’s face grew increasingly grim, picking up the milk tea in front of her, she pretended to take a calm sip.
Could it be... Nangong Zhongli found out something? No way, even the Crown Prince didn’t notice, how could Nangong Zhongli know she was a fake?
"I have already found the real Xia Qiqi."
"Cough..." Jiang Xue nearly choked.
She stared wide-eyed at Nangong Zhongli: "You... what did you say?"
"I don’t care why you pretend to be Xia Qiqi to stay by the Crown Prince’s side. But as long as you are not the real Xia Qiqi, I won’t make an enemy of you."
