Chapter 262 - 264 【264】Falling Out with Liang Shaochen 5
But at this moment, Xia Xiaonuan made him feel like he was out of place!
He was obviously trying to help.
Now, it seemed like he was meddling!
Liang Shaochen usually didn’t like to get involved in other people’s private matters, but Xia Xiaonuan said there was nothing between her and Nangong Yaoling!
To him, their relationship didn’t seem as bad as he had imagined.
After all, isn’t it said that couples always quarrel at the head of the bed and reconcile at the foot?
But, who was he, Liang Shaochen?
Could it be that everything he felt before was just an illusion?
Or was Xia Xiaonuan just playing with him?!
Outside the door, Mrs. Smith’s intermittent snores could be faintly heard. Liang Shaochen turned over and, listening to that sound, felt even more depressed.
By the dim light from the window, he lifted his gaze to the small, curled-up figure on the bed.
Xia Xiaonuan... Xia Qiqi...
No, Liang Shaochen shook his head, as if desperately denying something.
No one in this world could ever replace Qiqi, never!
...
"Crown Prince, we have the surveillance footage." Qin Yi respectfully placed a laptop in front of Nangong Yaoling.
On the screen was the surveillance footage from the hospital entrance.
It captured the moment when Xia Xiaonuan and Liang Shaochen met.
On the blue screen, Liang Shaochen got out of the car and chatted with Xia Xiaonuan for a bit. Then Xia Xiaonuan wanted to leave, but Liang Shaochen grabbed her arm. It looked like they had a dispute. Xia Xiaonuan walked away, but Liang Shaochen followed.
Eventually, Xia Xiaonuan still avoided Liang Shaochen and got into a taxi.
Liang Shaochen’s car followed.
Since there was no sound from the screen, just from watching the footage, Xia Xiaonuan and Liang Shaochen’s expressions and gestures...
It was easy to lead to other interpretations.
In the end, Xia Xiaonuan got into the taxi, and Liang Shaochen followed it.
Nangong Yaoling watched the video in silence.
His haughty jawline tightened into a line, and his entire body was shrouded in gloom.
Qin Yi, standing by the side, broke into a cold sweat.
How could the Young Mistress be entangled with Mr. Liang?
If there was nothing between them, even he was shocked by the footage. He didn’t understand why the Young Master remained so calm.
Usually, in situations like this, the calmer Nangong Yaoling was, the more terrifying the outcome might be.
"Maybe... Mr. Liang was just worried about the Young Mistress’s safety, so he..."
"Do you also think it’s impossible for them to be that simple, right?" Nangong Yaoling suddenly asked, cutting Qin Yi off.
That cold voice, without any fluctuations, sounded like it came from the depths of hell.
Qin Yi felt his hair stand on end and instinctively shook his head:
"No... No, Young Master, I think the Young Mistress isn’t that kind of person..."
Qin Yi felt like slapping himself. He meant to speak up for Xia Xiaonuan, but instead, his words made the Young Master misunderstand even more.
The ability to detect the subtleties in words and see through the essence of a sentence; such keenness and wisdom perhaps only their Crown Prince possessed.
"Liang Shaochen..." Nangong Yaoling’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His lips curled into a smile.
That smile was luxurious and bloodthirsty, mixed with a distinct flavor unique to Nangong Yaoling.
Qin Yi’s heart sank.
Mr. Liang and the Young Master always got along well.
The two of them used to be the best of friends with nothing left unsaid.
But at this moment, instinctively, he felt that an earth-shattering event was about to take place.
