Chapter 435 - 437 Xia Xiaonuan Forces Me to Leave You
"Is that really the case?" Nangong Yaoling’s pupils shrank as he stared at Jiang Xue. "I don’t like being lied to. Xiaonuan, what exactly did she say to you?"
Nangong Yaoling really wanted to know what exactly had happened at that time to make Liang Shaochen so angry.
And what had caused Xia Xiaonuan to be so devastated!
Seeing his woman, who was clearly his, heartbroken and despondent because of another man, that feeling was truly frustrating!
But Xia Xiaonuan, that woman, always managed to challenge his limits time and time again!
Jiang Xue stiffened slightly.
She quickly said, "I’m sorry... I... the Young Madam... she told me to stay away from you."
Nangong Yaoling was taken aback.
He almost thought he had misheard.
His brows furrowed slightly, a flash of complexity crossing his handsome face.
"What did you say?"
"Young Master... please don’t come looking for me anymore! I really don’t want to ruin your relationship with Xiaonuan! Yesterday..." Jiang Xue steeled herself and said directly, "Yesterday, the Young Madam told me she was willing to give me a sum of money to force me to leave you and not disrupt your lives anymore! I... I..."
Nangong Yaoling’s hand gripping the wine glass tightened bit by bit.
It felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly by something.
"She really said that?"
Jiang Xue’s eyes reddened as she looked at Nangong Yaoling. "Young Master... I never intended to break up anyone’s family. I tried to explain to the Young Madam, but she wouldn’t listen and even lost her temper..."
Nangong Yaoling listened to Jiang Xue’s vivid and emotional depiction, feeling an unprecedented shock.
So Xia Xiaonuan had actually asked Jiang Xue to leave him?
He had never thought of this even in his dreams!
What was Xia Xiaonuan up to? Didn’t she want to divorce him? Why was she now secretly forcing Jiang Xue to leave?
This woman, when had she become so scheming and unfathomable?!
But damn it!
Why wasn’t he angry at all and instead felt a bit... secretly excited.
Did Xia Xiaonuan really care about him that much?
Seeing Jiang Xue’s aggrieved look, Nangong Yaoling couldn’t help but reach out and grab her hand.
"It’s all my fault... I’m sorry..."
Jiang Xue looked at Nangong Yaoling, bewildered, shaking her head: "I just hope the Young Madam won’t misunderstand again... Yesterday, she spilled coffee on my face, and at that moment, I felt like a sinner. I kept apologizing, just hoping for her forgiveness..."
"And then??" Nangong Yaoling asked eagerly. He was now desperate to know why Liang Shaochen had suddenly appeared.
What had happened between them?
Nangong Yaoling’s question left Jiang Xue dumbfounded.
Tears in her eyes, she stared at Nangong Yaoling.
No, this wasn’t right...
She had made such an aggrieved accusation, saying Xia Xiaonuan had splashed coffee on her, just to make Nangong Yaoling see that woman was a shrew, one who only pretended to be weak in front of him.
But... Nangong Yaoling had no reaction at all!
The situation was far from what she had expected, and Jiang Xue was utterly incredulous.
Didn’t Nangong Yaoling care about Qiqi a lot? Why was his focus entirely misplaced now?
Rage surged in Jiang Xue’s heart, but she suppressed it with all her might.
Looking into Nangong Yaoling’s eyes, she continued to embellish her story: "Later... no matter how I explained, Xia Xiaonuan still wouldn’t let me go. Fortunately, Shaochen arrived... The Young Madam told Shaochen I was a bad woman... Shaochen got furious and finally took me away."
