Chapter 321 - 323 [323] Don’t Come Looking for Me Again 2
"So? Are you also here to stand up for her?" Liang Shaochen said with a smile, but a layer of coldness gradually floated in his eyes.
"No, it’s not like that!" Xia Xiaonuan said anxiously, realizing she seemed to have started in the worst way possible.
"Oh?" The corners of the man’s lips lifted slightly, and he stared at the Americano in front of him, silent.
Xia Xiaonuan bit her lower lip.
"That Qiqi, do you know her? Is she really... the person you’re looking for?" Xia Xiaonuan asked, staring into his eyes.
"Of course." The man’s long fingers gently caressed the coffee cup with his thumb pad, replying firmly.
"But didn’t you say last time that she clearly had an accident on the plane?"
The man’s fingertip movements paused.
He looked up at the woman in front of him, full of suspicion.
He took a slight breath, almost running out of patience, but still tried to smile: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I..." Xia Xiaonuan lowered her head, staring at her straw. She didn’t dare to look at the man in front of her, afraid that she might accidentally reveal her emotions and accidentally let tears fall from her eyes.
"I know, you must want to say that Qiqi is fake. She might just be someone who looks like Qiqi, pretending to be Qiqi, wanting to use my love for Qiqi to get close to me and achieve some goal, right?" Liang Shaochen asked word by word, in a calm tone.
Xia Xiaonuan looked up. It was clearly what she wanted to say, but when asked like this, it was as if an egg was stuffed in her mouth, and she couldn’t utter a single word.
Especially when she saw the man’s eyes carrying a hint of amusement mixed with a faint sense of contempt and estrangement.
She had never seen this look in his eyes. That gentle as water Nan Mo, the man who once held her in his hands, would one day look at her with such eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned and dumbfounded. It felt as if a gigantic stone was uncontrollably sinking in her heart, tearing at her heart with pain as it sank.
Liang Shaochen saw her expression and suddenly smiled knowingly.
His handsome face shone elegantly and brilliantly under the sunlight.
"And what I want to say is, you are overthinking. I, Liang Shaochen, am not a fool. Not just any girl who wants to get close to me would be able to succeed. So, you really don’t need to worry about me."
"But, but..."
She stammered, just about to speak when Liang Shaochen suddenly cut her off:
"On the contrary, I think you should worry about yourself. You coming to see me like this, if the Crown Prince finds out, won’t he misinterpret it again? I don’t want to cause Miss Xia any honorable harm because of me."
His voice was calm, even with a touch of gentleness.
However, every word he said was like a sharp blade, silently and without a sound, slicing through Xia Xiaonuan’s heart.
The pain in her heart instantly spread to her limbs and bones.
It seemed like Xia Xiaonuan suddenly realized that his attitude towards her had drastically changed after the incident at Mrs. Smith’s house last time.
His words hinted at a sense of alienation.
Yes, the last time she pointed a gun at him and even fired, now seeing him not turn around and leave or speak harshly, should she already be satisfied?
But that was not his character after all.
His character decided that even if she hurt him, he would never do anything that would lose his dignity.
