Chapter 272 - 274 [274] I Will Give You Whatever You Want 5
"Xia Xiaonuan..." Nangong Yaoling looked at her coldly, then slowly stood up.
In the end, he didn’t say anything and left the bedroom angrily.
The room was filled with the aroma of food, mixed with Nangong Yaoling’s presence.
Xia Xiaonuan watched Nangong Yaoling’s unsteady yet furious departing figure.
His leg was still not healed.
—The leg that was injured because of her.
At that moment, Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t say how she felt.
Seeing him so angry, just now looking at her, his face turned deathly pale.
The whole person, his gaze seemed to want to tear her to pieces.
Yet in the end, he just unwillingly turned his head and left.
To Xia Xiaonuan’s surprise, she felt a sense of satisfaction!
She bit her lower lip slightly.
She actually forgot to cry, just extended her hand to wipe her bitten lip.
She snorted coldly towards the door.
In her heart, she firmly said: Nangong Yaoling, I will not be your pet, at your disposal; nor will I, compromise!
...
When Xia Xiaonuan came back, the driver drove the car to the villa’s entrance, but Nangong Yaoling didn’t get out of the car.
Instead, he ordered Qin Yi to escort her in.
Qin Yi quickly got out of the car.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Qin Yi beside her and coldly said, "No need, I’m not crippled, I can walk on my own!"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qin Yi’s face.
Sitting in the car, Nangong Yaoling watched Xia Xiaonuan’s stubborn departing figure.
The corners of his lips lifted slightly.
Xia Xiaonuan, you actually had the nerve to call me a cripple? Indirectly?
Have you forgotten who caused this injury?
Looking at the stunned Qin Yi beside him, who was always decisive and efficient, now sulking because of Xia Xiaonuan’s retort, Nangong Yaoling rubbed his forehead, both angry and amused.
This woman, once she’s mad, won’t give anyone face.
Stubborn like a bull, if he and she were to compete, in the end, both would only end up badly hurt! No, the one hurt the most would probably still be him!
Who told him to fall for such a woman anyway.
"Qin Yi, get in the car," Nangong Yaoling said.
Qin Yi got into the car, and said to Nangong Yaoling, "Young Master, when you get to the company later, you’ll probably have to listen to some of the elders nagging... This time you’ve been away for over half a month, and although the company is still orderly, everyone says..."
"Say what?" Seeing Qin Yi hesitate, Nangong Yaoling asked coldly.
"I dare not say."
"Say it!"
"They say... you neglected the company just to celebrate Young Madam’s birthday and have fun with her... and they also said..." Qin Yi paused, then continued under Nangong Yaoling’s serious gaze:
"They said you were enchanted by Young Madam... You’ve been in charge of the Nangong Empire for so many years, and you’ve never done this for any woman before..."
Qin Yi’s voice grew quieter and quieter as he continued, not daring to breathe.
Hearing this, to Qin Yi’s surprise, Nangong Yaoling didn’t get angry but instead chuckled, "Hmph!"
Qin Yi looked at Nangong Yaoling in confusion.
"Young Master... you... you’re not angry?"
He was worried that Nangong Yaoling would return to the company and explode after hearing this, so he decided to give him a heads-up.
Because if the Young Master lost his temper at the company, the entire building might shake.
It would make people uneasy, and the mess would be harder to handle.
"Why would I be angry? They’re not wrong!" Nangong Yaoling said with a smile, his impeccably handsome face glowing in the twilight.
His deep green eyes carried a hint of defiance, arrogance, and dominance!
Qin Yi: ...
