Chapter 59 - 60: Will Not Even Take a Glance
Xia Xiaonuan trembled as she took the water, glaring resentfully at Nangong Yaoling.
Seeing her expression, Nangong Yaoling’s lips curled into a smile, and he turned to get into the car.
When Xia Xiaonuan was sent back home, she was almost exhausted, her face as pale as a ghost. As soon as she entered the door, she kicked off her shoes and ran barefoot towards the sofa, collapsing onto it.
A maid nervously approached and asked her what was wrong, but a cold, intimidating glance from Nangong Yaoling made her shiver and quickly retreat to the corner.
Xia Xiaonuan felt dizzy, as if she were about to die, and could not help but curse Nangong Yaoling a hundred times in her heart.
But she did not know that more painful torment was yet to come.
Yun rushed out from the inside and hurried to Xia Xiaonuan’s side, worriedly asking, "Young Madam, what’s wrong with you?"
Struggling to sit up, Xia Xiaonuan looked at Yun and said, "It’s nothing... Eh... Yun, why do you look so pale?"
Yun’s face was ghostly white, looking even more frightening than hers.
Hearing Xia Xiaonuan’s voice, Yun instinctively glanced at Nangong Yaoling, shook her head with a forced smile, and said, "I’m fine..."
Xia Xiaonuan felt something was wrong. She looked at the other maids, who were all standing in the corners, heads down, not daring to make a sound or even look at her.
Suspicion filled Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes as she looked at Nangong Yaoling and loudly asked, "What did you do to Yun?"
Nangong Yaoling leisurely walked forward with his long legs, his tall body casually leaned against the sofa. He didn’t look at Xia Xiaonuan but swept his green eyes over Yun.
Yun quickly straightened up and uneasily glanced at Nangong Yaoling before saying to Xia Xiaonuan:
"I made a mistake and deserved to be punished... Young Madam, this has nothing to do with the Young Master, so please don’t worry."
"Mistake?" Xia Xiaonuan sat up straight and angrily glared at Nangong Yaoling:
"Yun spends each day just taking care of this household and looking after me. What mistake could she make? Nangong Yaoling, if you have any issues, come at me!"
"Without my permission, she secretly agreed to let you meet your old lover. If this isn’t a mistake, then what is it?" Nangong Yaoling narrowed his eyes, a dark look in them.
Xia Xiaonuan was almost losing her mind: "What do you mean by meeting an old lover? We were just having a meal, and you were there too, weren’t you?"
"When I was there, you were indeed having a meal. When I’m not there, who knows what you might have done?"
Nangong Yaoling’s body exuded barely contained fury. He rested one hand on the sofa, his long fingers tapping it repeatedly.
The atmosphere was extremely tense and cold. Yun and the maids had cold sweat on their foreheads.
But Xia Xiaonuan was not afraid of his authority at all, and she sneered, "So Nangong Yaoling is so insecure that he fears his wife might cheat on him just by having a meal with another man. How pathetic, how pitiful!"
"It’s not you I don’t trust. If it were the old Xia Xiaonuan, I wouldn’t even glance if she went out with other men.
But the current you, if you did anything to damage our Nangong Family’s reputation, it’s not something you alone could bear!"
"How amusing, doesn’t someone spend his days doing things with women outside that are far more damaging to reputation?"
"Xia Xiaonuan, you should know that angering me does you no good!" Nangong Yaoling grabbed her wrist, his gaze nearly shooting fire.
