Chapter 618 - 619: What Progress Have You Made?
Nangong Yaoling sensed something and slightly furrowed his brows.
Then, he woke up.
Seeing her, he quickly said, "You’re awake? How are you feeling?"
Xia Xiaonuan smiled faintly, "I’m fine, thank you..."
"The doctor said you were dehydrated for too long and also anemic. You need to take better care of your health in the future." Saying this, he let go of her hand, "I’ll go get you some water."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
She took the cup of water he handed her and drank a few sips.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a subtle sensation between them. She looked up and found Nangong Yaoling’s handsome face very close.
Her entire expression was a bit dazed.
Nangong Yaoling seemed to sense something too, an unnatural look flashed across his face.
Then, he took the cup from her hand.
Turning to place it on the table nearby.
Xia Xiaonuan remembered something, and couldn’t help but ask, "You... you said you didn’t sign the divorce agreement earlier, is that true?"
Nangong Yaoling’s brow slightly tightened.
He turned and looked at Xia Xiaonuan calmly.
"It’s not important anymore! The key thing is, Grandpa doesn’t allow us to divorce right now, so you’ll have to stay in the position of Young Madam Nangong for a while longer."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
"A while?"
"Yes." Nangong Yaoling’s eyes seemed to carry a hint of chill, "Our matters can only be set aside for now, we’ll talk about it after Grandpa leaves."
A hint of sorrow flashed in her eyes for some reason.
Feeling the coldness emanating from him, it seemed as though the Nangong Yaoling who would do anything for her was a completely different person!
She truly couldn’t see through him anymore.
"Grandpa... he’s helping me." She lowered her head and said awkwardly.
Did he mean that if Grandpa wasn’t around, she would have no relation to him? Then, she wouldn’t be his wife. In that case, would he still come to save her?
Nangong Yaoling sneered coldly, "Since you know Grandpa is helping you, you shouldn’t have run out with another man. If Grandpa knew about this, how sad would he be?!"
Her hand that was hanging down slightly clenched the bedsheet, she looked up, his eyes held a restrained anger.
So he was still bothered by this...
If Grandpa knew about this, he wouldn’t just be sad, he would be disappointed too! Grandpa liked the old Xia Xiaonuan so much...
"I’m sorry..." Being reprimanded by him like this, guilt surged in her heart, making her feel like she was truly a big sinner.
"Can you not tell Grandpa about this... his heart is weak..." Xia Xiaonuan’s black and white eyes gazed at him weakly as she spoke.
Nangong Yaoling’s lips twitched subtly.
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret for now!"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
At that moment, he suddenly stepped forward.
His whole body leaned towards her, he stretched out a hand and grabbed her chin.
His familiar breath came rushing at her, Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes widened.
"Xia Xiaonuan, tell me, how far did you two progress?" He raised an eyebrow and asked, his deep dark eyes seemed to be flickering with an indistinct fire.
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"You and Liang Shaochen!"
"Why are you asking that?" She couldn’t help but become suspicious, thinking of something, she said cautiously.
"Because I need to decide how to deal with that kid Liang Shaochen based on how far you’ve progressed!" Nangong Yaoling said through gritted teeth, his gaze burning with anger as he stared at her.
