Chapter 670 - 682: Do You Actually Have Any Feelings?
Nangong Yaoling’s entire body exuded a chilling coldness, as if making the temperature of the entire air drop.
Xia Xiaonuan widened her eyes and looked at Nangong Yaoling.
"You...what did you say?" she murmured incredulously. She never expected that he would vent his anger on her! He actually misunderstood and thought that she was the one who instigated the conflict between the siblings!
She did tell Nangong Zhongli that Liang Shaochen was imprisoned, but that was because Nangong Zhongli already knew that Mr. Liang had also gone to Thailand.
She had no choice but to say it.
She thought about asking Nangong Zhongli to help Shaochen, but she never expected Nangong Zhongli to go beg Qin Yi!
She assumed that Nangong Yaoling cared enough for Zhongli that he would agree to her request!
She never imagined it would lead to this outcome!
"You know very well what I meant," Nangong Yaoling said, his pupils bloodshot, speaking each word through gritted teeth.
Tears instantly blurred her vision.
"In your eyes, am I truly such a vicious and cold-hearted person?" Xia Xiaonuan asked through her trembling voice, looking at Nangong Yaoling through her tear-blurred vision.
Nangong Yaoling sneered, reaching out his hand and lifting her chin.
"I don’t know who you truly are, Xia Xiaonuan. I always thought I knew you well. Now I realize that your schemes are much deeper than I imagined!"
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Xia Xiaonuan’s hands and feet shook, and her entire body involuntarily trembled.
Seeing her cry , Nangong Yaoling’s pupils revealed a trace of surprise and an imperceptible panic. However, he still kept a stern face, glaring at her.
Nangong Zhongli, biting her lower lip, couldn’t help but speak when she saw Xiaonuan’s state: "Brother, you misunderstood Xiaonuan! This has nothing to do with her! It’s... it’s because I’m pregnant. That’s why... Qin Yi helped me!"
Nangong Yaoling’s tall figure stiffened slightly.
Qin Yi gently closed his eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan exclaimed, "Zhongli..."
"What did you say?" Nangong Yaoling looked at Nangong Zhongli in disbelief: "Say it again!"
"I know, I made a mistake! I have brought disgrace to the Nangong Family. I am not a good girl, and I am willing to accept punishment! It was I who threatened Qin Yi with the child in my belly, and that’s why he helped me!" Nangong Zhongli cried as she spoke: "Please stop beating him and stop misunderstanding innocent people!"
Nangong Yaoling stood there dumbfounded, only regaining his senses after several seconds.
His gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp as he looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi looked at Nangong with a mix of urgency and guilt, his voice hoarse and terrifying: "Crown Prince... it’s all my fault! I beg you... please kill me!" he said hopelessly.
Now, he dared not wish for anything else, only begging for a quick death.
If his death could protect Zhongli from harm and ensure the safety of her unborn child,
Then even in death, he could smile!
Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath.
Suddenly, he coldly ordered the bodyguards: "Beat him to death!"
Damned, he hadn’t even settled the matter with Qin Yi from the last incident, yet now Qin Yi had caused Zhongli to become pregnant!
The bodyguards froze upon hearing the order.
But they immediately complied.
At that moment, Nangong Zhongli suddenly stood up and rushed to Qin Yi’s side.
Using her body to shield him.
"Enough! If you want to hit someone, hit me!" Nangong Zhongli glared stubbornly at Nangong Yaoling with cold eyes.
The bodyguard raised his stick, his face displaying a complex expression of pain.
