Chapter 284 - 286 【286】Xia Xiaonuan, You’re Ruthless 3
Xia Xiaonuan watched for a while, then turned around and climbed into bed.
She turned off the light and prepared to sleep.
However, lying in bed, she still felt uneasy.
Could he... have really fainted?
Qin Yi said he hadn’t rested for 48 hours. Today he only slept for less than two hours in the car, now in the middle of the night, he still had to work, and she tricked him.
Could it be that he played the game too much and died because of her pranks?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaonuan felt a jolt in her heart.
Although sometimes she wished Nangong Yaoling would just die immediately.
But if something really happened to him, she would still be somewhat scared...
After all, he is Nangong Yaoling!
The more Xia Xiaonuan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and finally, she couldn’t bear it anymore and got out of bed.
Sure enough, in the corridor, Nangong Yaoling still lay on the ground, motionless.
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart raced, wondering whether to call 120 for an ambulance first?
Or should she call Qin Yi?
Xia Xiaonuan paced back and forth anxiously, deciding to go up and check first.
But then she thought, a big man like him couldn’t possibly have gotten into trouble so easily.
With Nangong Yaoling’s personality, he might be deliberately teasing her, which is absolutely possible!
Xia Xiaonuan bit her lower lip, racking her brains.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to her.
"Nangong Yaoling... you... you couldn’t have really... fainted, could you?" Her voice carried a distinct fear.
"Don’t scare me..." Xia Xiaonuan slowly walked forward, speaking as she walked: "Even though I wish you’d die immediately, if you died like this, I think... I think... Ah—!"
When Xia Xiaonuan was more than two meters away from Nangong Yaoling, she suddenly stopped, screamed in pain, and squatted down.
Then she clutched her abdomen and let out a painful moan.
The light hit the girl’s face, her expression twisted in agony.
At this moment, the "corpse" lying on the ground moved.
Then, with lightning speed, he rose from the ground.
"Xiaonuan? What’s wrong with you!?" Nangong Yaoling didn’t even think before rushing towards her.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaonuan quickly got up and stepped back a few steps.
"Haha!! Keep pretending～ How about now? Exposed, right! Nangong Yaoling, how’s my trick of playing reverse tactics?" Xia Xiaonuan clapped her hands, looking triumphantly at Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling was dumbfounded.
For an instant, seeing Xia Xiaonuan standing there with a bright smile, completely unharmed.
Her entire body faintly trembled.
"Indeed... you acted better than me, you’re much more skilled." Nangong Yaoling said with a smile, then without looking at Xia Xiaonuan again, turned around and limped towards the study.
Xia Xiaonuan: ...
"Lost, so what? Why the sulking?"
Seeing his look, Xia Xiaonuan was also angry, turned around, and stormed back to the bedroom.
Nangong Yaoling stood at the study door.
His tall, straight figure slowly turned around.
Looking at the disdainful figure of Xia Xiaonuan leaving.
His eyes instantly turned red, showing weariness and undisguisable painful frustration.
Xia Xiaonuan, I’m not angry.
Nor am I sulking at you.
It’s just... I care too much about you.
When you saw me faint, you could rationally analyze whether I was pretending.
You were even smart enough to devise a counter-plan to deal with me.
But when I heard you in unbearable pain, I couldn’t think of anything, I immediately got up and rushed to you.
Just because I’m afraid you might get hurt, worried something might happen to you.
