Chapter 182 - 184 [184] Comfortable Hug Pillow 3
Just don’t provoke her; she can turn a blind eye.
Xia Xiaonuan ignored everyone’s stares and walked straight inside.
Everyone looked at Xia Xiaonuan in disbelief.
Clearly... it was her former lover entangling with her husband, but why did she behave as if it didn’t concern her at all?
Nangong Yaoling’s gaze instinctively turned, searching the crowd for that figure he had seen earlier.
What he saw was Xia Xiaonuan walking straight into the room, as if nothing had happened.
A tinge of sadness involuntarily flashed in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes.
Did she care nothing for him, or did she trust him deeply enough to handle this woman?
Isn’t she afraid of his entanglement with her?
Nangong Yaoling lit a cigarette and looked irritably at the tall woman before him.
"Since you insist I make it clear," he exhaled a smoke ring, leaning lazily against the car, and said indifferently, "then I’ll tell you, our game is over."
Yang Zi’er froze, her body trembled violently.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Did I do something wrong? If I did anything wrong, I can change!" She almost couldn’t hold back from rushing forward and embracing the man in front of her.
The fear of being abandoned made her heart feel like it was sinking into the ocean, incredibly suffocated.
She knew she had chosen the worst time to confront him.
Because here was the set, she couldn’t do anything too outrageous for the sake of her dignity.
She could only, pretending to be proud, stiffen her body and say the words only the two of them could hear, in a pleading tone.
"Do you know why I chose you back then?" Nangong Yaoling raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips.
Yang Zi’er, however, couldn’t see any warmth in his eyes.
She even felt a chill down her spine.
"Because you understand the art of retreat and advance, so don’t disappoint me."
"Is it because of her?" Yang Zi’er took a step forward, trembling and asked, "Because of her..."
Nangong Yaoling suddenly stood up.
His large hand grabbed Yang Zi’er’s chin.
"This has nothing to do with her. But I don’t want our relationship to have any impact on her... And, I don’t want another Fang Wan in this world."
He reached out and gently patted her cheek.
The movement was tender, resembling a caress.
From afar, it seemed like the two were engaging in a very intimate action.
Yang Zi’er’s face instantly turned pale.
She had seen the image of Fang Wan’s death in the newspapers, and just thinking about it made her shudder.
She had mistakenly thought the man before her was a warm shoulder to rely on.
She should have realized long ago what a terrifying and cold-blooded man he was.
However... once fallen in love, how could she allow herself to regret?
Her greatest mistake was her overestimation, falling in love with him!
A stream of tears slid down Yang Zi’er’s face.
Her lips trembled, wanting to speak, but in the end, she said nothing.
And Nangong Yaoling did not seem to expect any response from her.
Because her gaze had already given him the answer.
It was a fear that anyone facing death and disaster should have.
Having this was enough.
Because this gaze was enough to put his mind at ease.
He did nothing wrong in Fang Wan’s case.
Because if Fang Wan wasn’t eliminated, there would be a second, a third Fang Wan stepping out to threaten Xia Xiaonuan’s safety.
