Chapter 445 - 449 The Best Time to Steal the Antidote 1
Xia Xiaonuan helplessly helped him take off his coat, then unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest.
Qin Yi said, "Young Mistress, please help me. Let’s take the Young Master to the bedroom."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded. Qin Yi crouched down and she helped place Nangong Yaoling onto his back.
After laying him on the bed in the bedroom, Yun came up with a bowl of hangover soup.
Xia Xiaonuan reluctantly took it, "I’ll do it." She said, propping Nangong Yaoling up and placing a pillow behind him.
She scooped a spoonful of the soup, blew on it, and brought it to his lips.
Nangong Yaoling only took a sip before suddenly waving his hand and knocking the bowl out of her hand.
Xia Xiaonuan was caught off guard, and the scalding hot soup spilled onto the back of her hand. Qin Yi quickly pulled her away, but it was already too late.
The back of her hand turned red instantly.
Qin Yi felt awkward touching her; seeing her dumbfounded, he quickly said, "Go to the bathroom and rinse it. I’ll find you some ointment."
Xia Xiaonuan ran her hand under cold water. Yun entered with burn ointment.
She helped apply the ointment.
Qin Yi, still worried, looked at her and said, "Young Mistress, let me take you to the hospital." Xia Xiaonuan winced slightly from the pain but shook her head, "I’m fine, it’s nothing serious."
Qin Yi nodded.
Walking to the bed, he saw Nangong Yaoling frowning in his sleep, muttering something indistinctly, with Xia Xiaonuan’s name barely audible.
Qin Yi sighed lightly.
Xia Xiaonuan said, "It’s late, you should rest. I’ll take care of him."
Qin Yi, still concerned, replied, "Young Mistress, but your hand..."
At that moment, Xia Xiaonuan’s phone rang.
It’s rare for anyone to call her so late.
Xia Xiaonuan was startled and saw that it was Nangong Zhongli calling.
She answered, and Nangong Zhongli’s voice came through.
"Xiaonuan... where are you? Come... come drink with me..."
She was slightly stunned and quickly said, "Zhongli? Where are you? Why are you so drunk?"
Hearing this, Qin Yi’s face changed.
"Get... get away! Xia... Xiaonuan... bang—" The phone seemed to fall to the ground, then the line went dead.
Xia Xiaonuan immediately tried calling back, but there was no response.
Qin Yi looked at Xia Xiaonuan nervously, "Is it Nangong Zhongli? What happened? Is she drunk? Where is she now?"
Xia Xiaonuan put down the phone uneasily, surprised by Qin Yi’s reaction.
She still replied, "It seems Zhongli got drunk at a bar. The call got cut off, I don’t know where she is."
Qin Yi grabbed Xia Xiaonuan’s phone and quickly redialed the number.
But there was no answer.
Qin Yi was completely flustered.
"No... Zhongli could get into trouble being this drunk! I have to find her right away!"
"Then hurry up and go."
"Young Mistress, leave the Young Master here to you!"
"Okay, don’t worry. Let me know when you find Zhongli!"
"Yes, Young Mistress!"
With that, Qin Yi rushed out the door.
Why did Nangong Zhongli get so drunk too? Xia Xiaonuan worriedly thought, looking at Nangong Yaoling lying on the bed, sighing helplessly. These two really are siblings!
...
Suddenly, Xia Xiaonuan’s gaze landed on the bulge in the pocket of Nangong Yaoling’s suit pants.
Keys—!
An idea sparked in her mind, making her heart skip a beat.
Nangong Yaoling was drunk and Qin Yi had left.
Tonight... isn’t this the perfect opportunity to steal the antidote?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaonuan quickly moved forward, looking at the sleeping Nangong Yaoling, squatting down, and extending her hand, inch by inch, cautiously reaching into his pants pocket.
