Chapter 499 - 500: The Gentleman Uses His Tongue but Not His Fists
Jiang Xue got out of the car, and Nangong Yaoling personally helped her.
Extremely ambiguous.
Xia Xiaonuan’s lips curled up in a cold smile.
"So, does your husband still look handsome in the newspaper?" The man in front of her suddenly spoke, half-smiling, staring firmly at her expression.
Xia Xiaonuan tossed the newspaper aside.
"Ugly beyond words."
Nangong Yaoling’s face darkened.
"Are you angry?" He raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Why should I be angry?" She gave a fake smile and picked up a sandwich to eat.
A hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he hid it quickly.
"I really wonder what would happen if this newspaper appeared in the hospital."
Xia Xiaonuan ate her breakfast calmly, but her heart trembled slightly at Nangong Yaoling’s words.
If Shaochen saw Jiang Xue, would he remember something?
He doesn’t remember the past now, so it shouldn’t hurt him anymore, right?
She smiled, "I never thought Prince Nangong would not only like to cheat but also gossip now."
Cheat?
Nangong Yaoling’s face changed.
No one had ever dared to use that word to describe him.
This woman, was she deliberately trying to provoke him?
"I, Nangong Yaoling, don’t need to cheat to get any woman I want! What, are you going to start displaying your official demeanor?"
Xia Xiaonuan thought for a moment, "You reminded me. Should I find someone to teach that little bitch a lesson?" She purposely made her words sound harsh.
Sure enough, Nangong Yaoling’s face immediately turned very ugly.
"Xia Xiaonuan, you have no right to talk about her like that! I warn you, don’t hurt her. If you dare to hurt her, I will show you no mercy!" Nangong Yaoling emphasized each word.
He just wanted Xia Xiaonuan to know that there was more than one woman in this world deserving of his affection! He could care deeply about her yesterday and about another woman today.
To prevent her from thinking she was the only one in this world, that he, Nangong Yaoling, couldn’t live without her.
Xia Xiaonuan completely ignored his "earnest intentions" and just sneered in her heart, saying dismissively, "Don’t worry, I won’t hurt your precious darling. I’m already locked up, can’t even get out the door, why so agitated?"
Nangong Yaoling was choked by her words.
Precious darling?
This woman was deliberately mocking him!
"Yes, you’re locked up now, but I can lock your body, not your heart. Who knows what tricks you’ll pull in the shadows?" He said, dropping the knife and fork heavily on the table.
Xia Xiaonuan nonchalantly drank her milk and said, "Since you know you can’t lock my heart, why bother going to such lengths?"
"Enough—!" Nangong Yaoling’s patience was completely exhausted. He stood up from the chair, glaring at her, "Xia Xiaonuan, I don’t have time to spar with you early in the morning! Don’t you just want me to let you go? You’d better find a way to please me. If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll let you off!"
Xia Xiaonuan smiled at him, "Mr. Nangong, you’re angry. Quite a temper early in the morning!"
Nangong Yaoling’s lowered hand clenched into a fist, damn it.
It seemed that when he got angry first, it meant he lost.
Seeing the light of victory in Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes made him very displeased.
He rushed over, grabbed Xia Xiaonuan, and pinned her body directly against the floor-to-ceiling window.
Xia Xiaonuan glared at him, milk still on her lips, and warned, "What are you doing? Gentlemen use words, not fists!"
