Chapter 110 - 112 [112] You think you can just slip away like that? 1
Their intimate actions make it look like they are a couple.
She knows that Nangong Yaoling wants to prove to her that there are plenty of women vying for his attention.
Yes, even without lifting a finger, there are debutantes eagerly sticking to him.
But what does that have to do with her?
"Xia Xiaonuan, why do you let another man carry things you bought yourself? Isn’t it humiliating for Zhong Li?"
Xia Xiaonuan was speechless.
This man is really boring.
Isn’t he just trying to tell her that Liang Shaochen is already taken?
Now he’s even dragging his sister into this.
"Brother, don’t say that. Do you think I’m that petty?" Zhong Li wasn’t pleased. She didn’t want anyone to think she was selfish and jealous in front of Shaochen.
"Mr. Liang offered to help. He’s really a gentleman, and it was hard for me to refuse his kindness." Xia Xiaonuan said calmly to Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling’s face turned ashen with anger, just as he was about to speak, Liang Shaochen stepped forward and thrust the bags he was holding at Nangong Yaoling.
"Mr. Liang, it’s perfect timing. These things Xiaonuan bought can be handed over to you now! I’m liberated!" He said in a feigned casual manner.
Smart as Liang Shaochen, who knows Nangong Yaoling well, he could see the two were secretly competing.
If he acted like a gentleman, it would imply Nangong Yaoling wasn’t considerate enough to his wife.
So he simply shrugged it off; whatever happens between them is their business.
Moreover, he wouldn’t foolishly get involved in their marital battle.
People always say that couples may argue but end up making up easily. Unexpectedly, after arguing yesterday, Xia Xiaonuan even went to stay at a hotel, and today they came out shopping together.
It seems their relationship is progressing faster than he imagined.
Xia Xiaonuan glanced at Liang Shaochen, noting a fleeting trace of disappointment in her eyes.
Nangong Yaoling looked at the pile of bags in front of him.
He raised his hand and dialed a number.
Quickly, two escorts came over.
Usually, a bodyguard car would follow behind Nangong Yaoling’s car.
So although it appeared that only Nangong Yaoling and Xia Xiaonuan were out, there were actually seven or eight bodyguards in the car behind.
These arrangements were always carried out discreetly.
Even Xia Xiaonuan hadn’t noticed.
Thus, when the escorts arrived in under three minutes, Xia Xiaonuan felt surprised.
The escorts respectfully addressed Nangong Yaoling as "Young Master," and at his signal, they picked up the shopping bags.
"Brother... Shaochen, Yuzhu, and I just got here. Won’t you join us for a stroll?" Zhong Li coquettishly said to Nangong Yaoling.
"Yes... Yaoling, why don’t we all go together and then have lunch together?" Liang Yuzhu quickly came forward, linking arms with Zhong Li to hold onto Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling glanced at Xia Xiaonuan standing beside them, a smile tugging at his lips: "Sure."
Xia Xiaonuan hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "Well... you guys enjoy your walk, I’m not feeling well, I’d like to return home first."
She just wanted to leave as soon as possible, staying here another second felt like torture.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xia Xiaonuan, ready to refuse.
This woman wants to slip away just because she’s pissed him off?
But Liang Yuzhu interrupted, "Yaoling, I think Xiaonuan doesn’t look well. How about letting her go back first... She might be tired..."
