Chapter 537 - 539: Signing the Divorce Agreement
She was afraid that if she fell asleep again, she would return to the terrifying scenes in her dreams.
Because that dream, it was too realistic...
Thinking of something, she glanced to the side.
The spot next to her was empty, Nangong Yaoling hadn’t returned the entire night. The sky outside the window was already bright, and a beam of sunlight shone on her face, dazzling her. She stretched out her hand and blocked her face.
Just then, Yun came knocking on the door.
"Young Madam... are you up? There are some lawyers here to see you..."
Xia Xiaonuan took a deep breath and thought of what Nangong Yaoling had said when he left yesterday.
It seemed that this time, he was serious.
She raised a faint smile, thought of last night’s dream, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye as she got out of bed.
...
"Young Master, are you really... decided to divorce the Young Madam?" In the CEO’s office, Qin Yi looked at Nangong Yaoling and asked in a low voice.
Nangong Yaoling stood by the window, his tall figure turned away, carrying a cold and arrogant air.
"Qin Yi..." His deep, magnetic voice said, "If you really liked someone, but they didn’t care about you at all, what would you do?"
Qin Yi paused at the sound.
"I..." He looked at Nangong Yaoling’s tall back, and in front of his eyes, Nangong Zhongli’s face flashed.
"If they didn’t care at all, then I would choose to silently watch over her and protect her."
"And if she hated you? If she didn’t need your protection at all?"
Qin Yi’s body stiffened.
He opened his mouth and said, "Young Master... you and Qin Yi are different. I think the Young Madam still has you in her heart..."
A cold smile slowly bloomed on Nangong Yaoling’s beautiful face.
"When she found out she was poisoned, she didn’t choose to ask me for help, but instead secretly stole the antidote... I used to think that perhaps there was a small place for me in her heart.
But through this, I realized how ridiculous I was."
"Maybe... the Young Madam had unspeakable difficulties..." Qin Yi comforted, but even as he said it, he felt it was somewhat pale.
After all, this time, what the Young Madam did was indeed hard to understand. First, she saved the enemy of the Nangong Empire, and then even got poisoned because of that person.
In the end, she even stole the antidote for that person.
By doing this, it was as if the Young Madam had betrayed the Nangong Empire and helped outsiders.
No matter how it was explained, the Crown Prince would undoubtedly be deeply hurt.
Moreover, those antidotes had been meticulously created over many years, across many processes, specifically for emergencies.
Now, all the medicine had been replaced with ordinary herbal pills.
No wonder the Young Master was so heartbroken.
However, as the saying goes, "A three-foot ice doesn’t form in a single day."
The Young Master had prepared a Christmas party to make the Young Madam happy, yet she ended up entangled with another man.
How could this leave any face for the Young Master?
Most importantly, it was just too hurtful.
Qin Yi looked at his master before him, a flash of heartache in his eyes.
Nangong Yaoling turned around and walked to a flower rack nearby.
His long fingers skimmed over the orchid leaves nearby.
"I’m tired..." he said lightly. "Let the lawyers handle this matter."
...
Xia Xiaonuan sat in front of the sofa, listening to the lawyers talk about the distribution of assets.
Nangong Yaoling had indeed kept his word.
The things he said he would give her last time were all given to her, not one left out.
He even gave her 15% of his company’s shares.
But in the end, Xia Xiaonuan refused.
