Chapter 285 - 287 [287] Xia Xiaonuan, You’re Ruthless 4
So, that’s why one would act like a fool and go all out.
Xia Xiaonuan, to you, this might just be a game.
But to me, I am the one who can’t afford to lose.
However, in my eyes, I have already given my heart to you; yet, you don’t even consider it.
Why does my heart hurt so much.
When Xia Xiaonuan got up from the ground, when she smiled and said he lost.
Nangong Yaoling felt as if his heart was being pulled by something.
He couldn’t breathe at all.
Nangong Yaoling reached out and held onto the door frame.
Motionless, until the sharp pain in his heart slowly pulled away from his body.
Only then did he get up and step into the study.
...
Xia Xiaonuan sat alone on the bed.
Tossing and turning, sleeping uneasily.
Was she a bit too much?
Clearly, it was Nangong Yaoling who started the game first? She just went along with it; why is he angry?
The more Xia Xiaonuan thought about it, the more upset she became.
But, thinking about how he dashed forward without hesitation because she was uncomfortable.
She felt her heart warm.
Although, he is domineering and authoritative.
Sometimes even ruthless.
But... he seemed to genuinely care about her just now.
That kind of care cannot be faked no matter how much one tries.
Moreover, with Nangong Yaoling’s status, he wouldn’t need to pretend to care just to win her favor.
Because the moment she cried out in pain, he rushed over nervously.
Xia Xiaonuan felt utterly confused.
She still hadn’t forgiven him for the last incident.
And she never will!
But... after all, she cannot leave him now.
They must live under the same roof.
Maybe one day, before she leaves, Nangong Yaoling will get bored of her.
After all, she knows herself that she isn’t the gentle type of girl.
Don’t men all like gentle girls?
So, for now, she still needs to rely on Nangong Yaoling, this big tree.
Xia Xiaonuan tugged at her hair fiercely.
Got up.
It’s so late, is he still working?
After thinking about it, Xia Xiaonuan turned and walked downstairs.
Nangong Yaoling was in the study, hearing the sound of Xia Xiaonuan coming downstairs.
What is this woman up to again?
Nangong Yaoling wanted to get up but eventually just clenched his fist on the keyboard.
On the computer screen, in the international meeting video, several executives from the American headquarters asked Young Master concernedly how he was.
Are you feeling unwell?
Nangong Yaoling pursed his lips.
"Nothing." A cold voice: "Continue discussing the matters regarding cooperation with South Africa..."
For the rest of the meeting, Nangong Yaoling was completely distracted.
Feeling extremely restless inside.
Finally, he walked to the wine cabinet, took half a bottle of Louis XIII, and began drinking alone.
The executives noticed Young Master’s bad mood, all of them in the video showed cautious expressions.
"Young Master... it’s probably early morning in Asia now, you should rest early..."
"It’s fine——"
"Young Master, your health is the most important... even for the entire Nangong Empire, you need to take care..."
Nangong Yaoling gloomily held his glass to one side.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Nangong Yaoling looked up and saw Xia Xiaonuan walking in with a bowl of noodles.
Nangong Yaoling was stunned.
"It’s... already very late, you haven’t eaten all day, eat... eat a bowl of noodles..." Xia Xiaonuan stood in front of Nangong Yaoling, looking at his glass and his very bad complexion, incredibly nervous.
