Chapter 574 - 576: How Should She Choose
Unexpectedly, Nangong Jinlie laughed.
"Good, I didn’t misjudge. Xiaonuan is a kind child." He nodded and said.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"I know, you don’t want to deceive Grandpa, but Nangong Yaoling is the heir to the Nangong Empire. His marriage is not just about the two of you, but the entire NG.
So, even though you signed the agreement, it doesn’t mean you are not married anymore.
Even if Ling’er submits this agreement to the court, as long as I, Nangong Jinlie, say the word, it can be nullified at any time!
So... you can rest assured that you are still the Young Madam of the Nangong Empire, Ling’er’s wife."
Nangong Jinlie spoke calmly, word by word.
Xia Xiaonuan listened with trepidation.
What does this mean?
She and Nangong Yaoling, after all this, are still legally married?
Does Grandpa mean that as long as he doesn’t give his consent, the divorce agreement is useless even if signed?
Oh god, this person is a hundred times more domineering than Nangong Yaoling.
Actually, although Nangong Jinlie is old, he appears a dozen years younger than his peers.
So he doesn’t look old.
He even has an innate aura that sets him apart from ordinary elderly people.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaonuan wondered if Nangong Yaoling would look like this when he gets old.
She fell into a complicated unease.
"I know, deep down you love Ling’er very much. This is just how he is, spoiled by me since childhood. So, Xiaonuan, you told Grandpa when you got married that you would always be by his side no matter what. Do you remember?"
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned.
Remembering something, she quickly said, "Grandpa, there is something you might not know..."
"Oh, what is it?" Nangong Jinlie asked with apparent interest.
"I lost my memory. So... actually, I don’t remember the past. I only met you yesterday, Grandpa."
"Amnesia?" Nangong Jinlie’s eyes deepened.
"No wonder..." he murmured. No wonder he felt that Xia Xiaonuan and Nangong Yaoling seemed completely different this time back. Xia Xiaonuan’s personality also changed from before.
"Was it that kid who caused trouble again? Didn’t you see a doctor?"
Xia Xiaonuan bitterly smiled. She wasn’t this Xia Xiaonuan at all; what good would seeing a doctor do? She can’t possibly have another person’s memories, right?
But this is something she absolutely couldn’t say out loud.
Not to mention it might startle Nangong Jinlie, he might think she was mentally disturbed and talking nonsense.
"I have seen one. But the doctor couldn’t be sure when I might remember the past." Xia Xiaonuan awkwardly smiled and said, "Sorry, Grandpa, for disappointing you..."
Nangong Jinlie sighed.
He reached out his hand, "Come, sit here."
Xia Xiaonuan went to Nangong Jinlie’s side, and he held her hand.
With his somewhat rough hand patting the back of hers, Nangong Jinlie looked at her earnestly and said, "Xiaonuan, you are a child with a hard life. Grandpa... Grandpa is sorry for you..."
Xia Xiaonuan was slightly stunned.
In Nangong Jinlie’s eyes, there seemed to be a surge of inexplicable sadness that she couldn’t understand.
But soon, he smiled and said to her, "Don’t worry, no matter what decision you make, Grandpa will support you."
Xia Xiaonuan felt that something was off, but she couldn’t figure out what it was.
