Chapter 55 - 56: Wishing for a Devoted Heart
She had always longed for a love where two hearts beat as one, staying together forever.
But Nangong Yaoling, in her eyes, was always surrounded by beautiful women. How could such a man ever be faithful to one woman?
If it weren’t for Xia Xiaonuan’s background, Nangong Yaoling probably wouldn’t have married her.
This society is so pragmatic. Men always look for lovers who are the more charming and beautiful, the better. But when choosing a wife, the first thing they look at is her family background.
Men like Nangong Yaoling are never short of beautiful women around them. What they need is someone who is both beautiful and of a good family that can help with the family’s interests.
This is an unwritten rule for many outstanding men when choosing a spouse.
Even if he doesn’t love her, he wouldn’t allow someone from a significantly inferior family to marry him.
Even if he was willing, his family would surely oppose it. If she were the old Xia Xiaonuan, Nangong Yaoling wouldn’t even glance at her.
But now, she doesn’t understand why Nangong Yaoling suddenly took an interest in her.
Maybe it’s just because he found it amusing.
He’s used to eating delicacies like abalone and bird’s nest soup, so occasionally having some plain congee might be refreshing.
Perhaps after a few days, once he’s lost interest, he’ll be more than happy for her to stay far away from him.
That way, she could be a bit freer.
Otherwise, even if she just came to have a meal, she would have him staring at her.
And just now at the dining table, just because she didn’t show jealousy, he was upset.
This man is simply tyrannical and overbearing, and very selfish.
Not only does he want to possess her body, but he also wants to own her heart.
This body wasn’t originally hers, so since she couldn’t resist, she had to resign to her fate.
But her heart, apart from Nan Mo, could fit no other man.
If he thinks she being jealous makes him happy, then let him deceive himself.
She felt very tired.
Ever since she became Xia Xiaonuan, she hadn’t had a single day of freedom. She wanted to leave Nangong Yaoling but didn’t know where to start.
She knew this was only the beginning.
In the future, as Xia Xiaonuan, she would face many more challenges.
She must become strong.
One day, she would leave Nangong Yaoling and divorce him. One day, she would return to her former self. But when that day came, would Nan Mo still remember her? Would he still want and care about her?
Qiqi, wait for me. I, Nan Mo, will marry only you in this lifetime.
That was what Nan Mo said when he left.
But now, the girl he promised has died.
Yet she hasn’t died but continues to live in another form. But Nan Mo, would you understand me?
Liang Shaochen...
...
Nangong Yaoling parked the car in front of a high-end Western restaurant.
"Why did you bring me here? Didn’t we just have a meal?" Xia Xiaonuan looked at the luxurious door decoration and frowned.
"Are you full?" Nangong Yaoling reached out and tousled her hair.
The gesture seemed doting.
But Xia Xiaonuan recalled how he did the same to Liang Yuzhu last night.
She felt extremely repulsed.
Unobtrusively, she moved her head away and touched her abdomen with her hand, "I’m almost full."
