Chapter 575 - 577 This Woman Has Lit the Fire
Looking at Nangong Jinlie’s loving gaze, a trace of emotion welled up in her heart.
"Grandpa, thank you."
"But... there’s something, I don’t know if I should say to you."
Nangong Jinlie seemed to guess what she wanted to say.
"Is it that since you lost your memory, you no longer like Yaoling?"
Xia Xiaonuan felt a bit embarrassed: "Grandpa... actually, I want to divorce him too."
Nangong Jinlie said: "I saw it coming! The two of you have switched places now!"
"Switched places?" Xia Xiaonuan didn’t understand.
Nangong Jinlie didn’t want to explain much, he just said with a hint of a smile: "That’s good too, Yaoling has always been too arrogant. Let him taste some bitterness, then he’ll know how to manage his feelings and marriage in the future!"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"Xiaonuan, grandpa won’t force you to reconcile with Nangong Yaoling. But in the current situation, you should understand that the only one who can help the Xia Family is you."
Xia Xiaonuan placed her other hand on her knee and slightly clenched a fist.
She understood what Nangong Jinlie meant.
If she wanted to save the current situation, she had to reconcile with Nangong Yaoling.
Even if it was just a surface reconciliation, she had to get through this period.
A wave of bitterness welled up in Xia Xiaonuan’s heart.
Round and round, in the end, would she and Nangong Yaoling still have to return to their original place?
But... the cost of that could not be undone.
While Xia Xiaonuan was thinking, the butler said at the door: "Master, the young master is back."
As he spoke, the butler opened the door, and Nangong Yaoling had already walked in.
Nangong Jinlie picked up a teacup and threw it at Nangong Yaoling. Seeing this, Nangong Yaoling swiftly dodged, and the teacup hit the carpet with a thud but didn’t break.
"You brat, you still dare to come back?" Nangong Jinlie cursed in a deep voice.
Nangong Yaoling smiled and walked up, draping an arm over Nangong Jinlie’s shoulder: "Grandpa, getting so angry early in the morning, watch your blood pressure."
"Watch your head!" Nangong Jinlie glared at Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling’s gaze fell on Xia Xiaonuan. She met his eyes and noticed the heavy dark circles under them.
She couldn’t help but sneer, had he been fooling around with another woman all night?
Nangong Yaoling’s brow furrowed slightly.
Damn woman, what was that expression?
He spent the night alone at a hotel, thinking he could finally get a good night’s sleep.
But, he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, this woman appeared in his mind like a relentless demon.
The more he thought about it, the hotter and more uncomfortable he felt; the more uncomfortable he was, the less he could sleep.
It was a vicious cycle; he ended up taking three cold showers through the night.
This woman ignited the fire and then kicked him away.
Is there anyone in the world more detestable than this woman?
He, Nangong Yaoling, had never been treated this way before!
And now, he rushed back early in the morning, only to be met with her lifeless expression.
Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth and sat down in front of the two of them.
He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
As soon as he took a sip, he got hit on the head.
He almost choked, coughed a couple of times, raised his handsome face, and complained: "Grandpa, what was that for?"
Why hit him again in front of Xia Xiaonuan!
He glanced at Xia Xiaonuan, that damn woman, who still looked schadenfreude.
"You still have the face to drink tea? Come upstairs with me!"
