Chapter 258 - 260 【260】Falling Out with Liang Shaochen 1
Xia Xiaonuan’s fingertips gradually tightened.
After struggling for a while, in the end, she couldn’t help but get up and pick up Liang Shaochen’s phone.
She had left her phone in the hospital and didn’t bring anything with her when she came here.
She even took a taxi to get here. If Liang Shaochen hadn’t shown up, she probably wouldn’t have been able to pay the fare.
But, should she call Nangong Feihong and Qi Yue?
Xia Xiaonuan turned on the phone, but her gaze was drawn to the screen.
Displayed on the standby screen was a picture of her as a young girl, wearing a school uniform, standing under a cherry blossom tree, smiling brightly.
At that time, she must have been only fifteen years old.
The cherry trees on the school campus had bloomed, and the school organized a photo session. Liang Shaochen had specifically asked someone to take this picture of her.
The photo must have been scanned and uploaded.
Xia Xiaonuan didn’t expect that he still kept this photo.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions for a moment.
But then she noticed that the phone had no signal!
Xia Xiaonuan was momentarily stunned.
There was no signal here!
Of course, they were in the mountains, and it was raining heavily.
She didn’t know why, but Xia Xiaonuan actually felt a little relieved.
Maybe all of this was meant to be!
However, what she didn’t know was that on the other side, Nangong Yaoling was about to lose his mind!
...
"Young Master, there is still no news of the Young Mistress..." In the resort hotel, Qin Yi looked at the man silently sitting in the wheelchair in front of him. Usually calm, his voice now had a slight tremor.
Ever since the Young Master found out the Young Mistress was missing, he immediately sent people to search and even personally left the hospital to return to the hotel room.
Nothing was missing from the room, and it was clear that Xia Xiaonuan had never returned. The Young Mistress seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Everyone began searching the entire resort, but there was no sign of Xia Xiaonuan!
Nangong Yaoling tightened his grip on the armrest of the wheelchair.
The joints of his hand produced a series of creaking sounds.
The man remained silent, but his entire body exuded an aura on the brink of explosion.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
"Surveillance footage! Get the hospital’s surveillance footage! No, I want the surveillance of the entire island! Turn the entire island upside down if you have to, but make sure you find her and bring her back safely!"
"Yes... I’ll get on it right away!" Qin Yi said, then quickly left.
Nangong Yaoling sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He stared at the resort’s night scene outside the window, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes slightly.
"Xia Xiaonuan... if this is your revenge, then you have succeeded!"
...
When Liang Shaochen emerged from the bathroom, Xia Xiaonuan was sitting on the bed in a daze, holding his phone and clutching his jacket around herself.
It wasn’t until she felt the light being blocked and everything darkening that Xia Xiaonuan came back to her senses. She looked up at Liang Shaochen. He was wearing a light gray checkered pajama set that Mrs. Smith had helped find. His freshly washed hair was still wet, and he stood in front of Xia Xiaonuan. Having shed his usual strict suit and shirt, he now looked more like a big boy.
Xia Xiaonuan stared for a few seconds, then nervously placed the phone on the bedside table, like a child caught doing something wrong, and said hesitantly, "I... I forgot to bring my phone."
Sitting on the bed, the girl wore a nude pink silk nightgown, the neckline at the chest a bit low. Though not overly revealing, it still exuded a bit of subtle sexiness.
Her black, wet hair draped over her shoulders, making her skin appear even whiter like snow, and her small face was tinged with a slight blush.
