Chapter 542 - 544 How Should I Tell You I Love You
Mr. Liang slightly furrowed his brows, withdrew his hand, and looked at Nangong Zhongli: "Zhongli, are we really a couple like you said?"
Nangong Zhongli’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
"You... why are you suddenly asking this?" Nangong Zhongli’s gaze flickered, "Of course it’s true... If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xia Xiaonuan... and Qi Yue."
Mr. Liang looked at Nangong Zhongli’s expression, his pupils slightly tightening.
At this moment, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The two of them simultaneously looked towards the source of the sound and saw Qi Yue, Xia Xiaonuan, and Nangong Feihong appear at the doorway.
When he saw Xia Xiaonuan appear at his door, Mr. Liang’s whole body trembled slightly.
She was draped in a shawl, her long black hair accentuating her flawless pale face. She wore a blue down jacket, which made her look particularly petite.
However, her face was somewhat pale, devoid of any blood color. Standing at the doorway, she looked a bit dazed.
Mr. Liang’s gaze slightly quivered. What was wrong with her? Was she sick? Why did she look so pale?
The hand resting by the bedside clenched slightly.
Qi Yue walked in with a bouquet of flowers and smiled, "Zhongli, what were you two just talking about? What did you want to ask Xiaonuan and me? We’ll definitely tell you everything!" She said, handing the carnations over.
Nangong Zhongli accepted the flowers, showing a sweet smile, "I thank you on behalf of Shaochen."
She placed the flowers in the vase, thought for a moment, then turned and said, "Shaochen just asked me if we were a couple, so I told him to ask you guys..."
As she spoke, her lively big eyes fixed on Qi Yue.
Qi Yue’s face showed a faint, hard-to-detect awkwardness upon hearing this.
Looking at Mr. Liang on the bed, her gaze shifted, and she quickly laughed heartily, "Of course! Aren’t you two almost engaged? The whole world knows..."
Qi Yue said, pulling Xiaonuan over and teasing with a smile, "Xiaonuan, don’t you think Zhongli and Shaochen make a great couple?"
Xia Xiaonuan stood behind Qi Yue, looking at Nangong Zhongli’s face full of expectation, and Mr. Liang’s complex gaze directed at her.
Her lips moved slightly, and she nodded somewhat woodenly, "Yes...of course..."
Nangong Zhongli showed a face full of happiness, blinked at Xiaonuan, then turned to look at Shaochen, taking his hand: "Shaochen, you see, even Xiaonuan says so. You can’t escape from me!"
Mr. Liang’s gaze quietly fell on Xiaonuan’s face, Xia Xiaonuan seemed afraid to look at him, her eyes lowered, only her long eyelashes visible, unadorned yet still beautiful.
Her hands hanging down were tightly clasped together, seemingly nervous or lost in thought.
His heart trembled fiercely.
Beside him was the faint scent of Nangong Zhongli’s perfume, he suddenly wanted to inhale her scent, whether it was light and elegant or unique and charming, he knew he would be instantly enchanted by any scent.
Simply because she was Qiqi, irrelevant to her appearance or exterior.
Yet at this moment, he couldn’t smell her scent at all, almost as if he couldn’t feel her presence.
In his mind, the image of her riding a horse in the square, nestled in Nangong Yaoling’s embrace with a sweet smile on her face appeared.
Suddenly, he felt an unbearable pain, like a thorn stuck in his chest that couldn’t be pulled out.
