Chapter 164 - 166 [166] A Surprise for Nangong Yaoling 2
That girl, when Xia Xiaonuan looked carefully, turned out to be none other than Liang Yuzhu!
Nangong Yaoling grabbed the girl’s shoulders, not sure whether he wanted to push her away or do something else.
Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t stand it anymore and turned to leave.
"Young Madam!" Qin Liu saw that things had gone awry and was incredibly frustrated. He shouted.
From afar, Nangong Yaoling vaguely heard Qin Liu’s voice.
He looked towards the sound.
At the moment he saw Xia Xiaonuan’s departing figure, his tall and slender body suddenly shook.
He forcefully pushed away the woman in his arms and chased after Xia Xiaonuan.
However, there were too many people at the airport. He dodged and weaved, and with Xia Xiaonuan walking fast, she vanished in the blink of an eye.
Nangong Yaoling stood amidst the bustling airport, feeling suddenly bewildered.
His lowered hand clenched into a tight fist.
Qin Liu, unable to catch up with Xia Xiaonuan, returned alone.
Seeing Nangong Yaoling, he called out uneasily, "Your... Your Highness."
Nangong Yaoling’s icy gaze shot towards Qin Liu, his eyes filled with a heavy gloom.
"What’s going on?" He spat out the words through gritted teeth.
Qin Liu shuddered at the sight of such a Nangong Yaoling.
As Nangong Yaoling’s closest assistant, he hadn’t faced such a harsh look from him in a long time.
Panic-stricken, Qin Liu decided to blame everything on Xia Xiaonuan.
"It’s... It’s the Young Madam who wanted to surprise you, so... she didn’t let us tell you... I’m sorry, Young Master."
A hint of delight flashed in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes.
But quickly, that joy was replaced by self-blame and frustration.
At this moment, Liang Yuzhu ran up to him.
She clung to Nangong Yaoling’s arm, acting coquettishly:
"Yaoling, why did you suddenly run away... I was looking for you for ages!"
Nangong Yaoling abruptly shook off her hand.
"Get lost!" He yelled and started walking away.
Liang Yuzhu had never been yelled at by Nangong Yaoling like this before.
She was utterly shocked.
Seeing that Nangong Yaoling was truly furious this time, Qin Liu couldn’t help but console Liang Yuzhu:
"Miss Liang, the Young Master is in a bad mood, don’t take it to heart." After saying that, he immediately chased after him.
Liang Yuzhu stood there dumbfounded, tears streaming down her face.
"Nangong Yaoling, how can you treat me like this!" She stomped her foot angrily and cursed.
...
Xia Xiaonuan sat in the taxi.
For a moment, she didn’t know where to go.
Anger, humiliation, self-blame, and unwillingness—all these complicated emotions flooded her mind in an instant.
She had prepared all morning.
Just to see Nangong Yaoling.
Even though this meeting was planned.
But in her heart, she carried a sliver of hope.
However, Nangong Yaoling had thoroughly doused her in cold water.
She felt so foolish.
She should have known long ago that a man like Nangong Yaoling would never care about her.
He never lacked women around him!
Those intimate gestures, those flirtatious words, were just momentary whims to tease her.
What did she amount to in his eyes!
A pet, or a toy?
She had actually believed Qin Liu’s words, believing that if she went to meet Nangong Yaoling, he would be happy.
He didn’t need her self-made affection!
Xia Xiaonuan felt deeply insulted.
Clearly, it was someone she didn’t even care about.
Clearly, she hated him to death.
