Chapter 701 - 713: Tearing Everything Apart with My Own Hands
"Nan Mo, I’m sorry... I..." Xia Xiaonuan lowered her head and said.
Shaochen’s hands that were gripping her shoulders suddenly slipped down.
"Qiqi... So, I guessed right? You’ve already fallen in love with him, haven’t you? You’ve completely let go of everything between us and decided to start a new life, right?"
Xia Xiaonuan’s hands were tightly intertwined, her heart was also in turmoil.
"I don’t know..." She shook her head blankly. She didn’t want to deceive Nan Mo, but... could she love Nangong Yaoling? This thought suddenly appeared in her mind, and it made her heart tremble.
Even she herself couldn’t distinguish whether what she felt for him was like, dependence, gratitude, or love?
No, maybe it’s too soon to talk about love, because before this, she hadn’t considered this at all! But now, thinking about this seemed to have lost its significance.
Because she just agreed to another devil’s exchange condition, which is to leave Nangong Yaoling!
And because of this, she had to be honest with him, because she couldn’t let Nan Mo sacrifice anymore for her, she felt she owed him too much.
Maybe now, she has no qualification to talk about feelings with anyone between them.
Shaochen stepped back in retreat.
The man’s handsome face suddenly turned pale.
"The two of us, it’s simply impossible..." Xia Xiaonuan said resolutely, "Shaochen, go pursue your happiness, someday you will meet your true love..."
"True love? Mine?" Shaochen looked at her in disbelief.
"Qiqi, you’re lying to me, right?" Suddenly, he gripped her arm tightly.
Xiaonuan was startled.
"You know something, don’t you?" Shaochen frowned, "Yes... it must be it! My father went to meet Zhong Li’s grandfather, you already know, don’t you?"
She nodded, "Yes, I know. But... but that’s not the reason. Shaochen..."
"Don’t say anymore!" Shaochen suddenly interrupted her loudly and then leaned in to kiss her. Xiaonuan was shocked and quickly turned her face away.
Shaochen’s body stiffened there.
She could vaguely feel his rough breathing coming from his throat. Under the man’s elegant appearance, it seemed as if there was an angry trapped beast inside him, ready to break out at any time.
She bit her lower lip hard.
Her chest was filled with an indescribable pain and bitterness.
The person she most did not want to hurt in her life was Nan Mo...
But in the end, she could only grit her teeth, reach out her hand, and push Shaochen away forcefully.
"I... I’m going to see Grandpa." After saying this, she turned around and ran towards the ward.
Shaochen stiffened in place, leaning against the wall.
His pupils were dark and unfocused, looking as if he was dumbfounded.
...
Xia Xiaonuan didn’t know how she got back to the emergency room entrance. Her legs were weak, and her entire body felt really heavy. It felt like her legs couldn’t support the weight and might collapse at any moment.
She held onto the chair and sat down, trying hard not to think about Nan Mo’s gaze.
His gaze made her feel like a sinner, she had shattered the dream she had held onto all this time, she had torn it apart with her own hands.
At this moment, a doctor came out from inside and said to her, "The patient is out of danger now. He will be moved to a general ward shortly and can be visited at any time."
Xia Xiaonuan was overjoyed, she stood up excitedly and said, "Thank you, doctor, thank you!"
