Chapter 724 - 735: You Actually Care About Me
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xia Xiaonuan and said, "Take off your glasses. Let me see your eyes."
Xia Xiaonuan’s face changed. "What’s there to see?"
"Are you jealous?" Nangong Yaoling stared at her face and asked.
"You’re overthinking." Xia Xiaonuan said indifferently.
"Then why did you bring me food? Isn’t it because you care about me?"
"Just happened to be on the way."
Nangong Yaoling looked deeply at her for a while.
Suddenly, he said, "Don’t worry. When I’m better, I’ll explain everything to Grandpa. Then, we’ll end our relationship completely."
Xia Xiaonuan’s body stiffened.
But she smiled and said, "That’s good, thank you."
Nangong Yaoling looked at her, not expecting that she could actually smile.
He had been thinking the whole day.
Since she didn’t love him, then keeping her by his side was meaningless.
It would only torture her and himself.
Maybe letting go was also a kind of fulfillment.
"But for the next few days, you are still my wife and you need to stay by my side to take care of me."
Xia Xiaonuan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Okay..."
"Can you come over now and let me see your eyes?"
Xia Xiaonuan walked to the bedside and glanced at the chair next to it.
Suddenly, she called out to the door, "Wu Da!"
Wu Da hurried in, "Young lady, what are your orders?"
"Throw this chair away."
Xia Xiaonuan pointed at the chair beside her.
"Yes, young lady." Wu Da said, quickly picking up the chair and walking out.
Nangong Yaoling looked at her with an amused expression.
"Do you have a cleanliness obsession?"
"Yes, I really do. Anything touched by other women, whether it’s an object or a person, I throw it away!"
Nangong Yaoling: "..."
"So, you want to throw me away like that chair, like trash?" he asked coldly.
"You could say that."
Nangong Yaoling suppressed the anger in his chest.
"With such a bad temper, even if you end up with another man, he won’t be able to stand you."
"That’s none of your concern. Some people want me!" she said disdainfully.
"So, you already have someone lined up?" Nangong Yaoling raised an eyebrow, patting the bed beside him, signaling her to sit down. Looking up at her like this made him very uncomfortable.
Xia Xiaonuan sat down impolitely.
Nangong Yaoling took off her glasses. Xia Xiaonuan awkwardly reached out her hand to cover her ugly panda eyes.
He extended his hand, his warm hand grabbed hers, and moved it away.
As expected, it was all black and blue.
"Open your eyes, let me see." He cupped her face with both hands, looking at her with a trace of heartache.
Xia Xiaonuan squinted at him, firmly protesting, "No..." She was afraid of scaring him.
"Open your eyes." He commanded in a low voice.
She was unconsciously influenced by his aura, looking at his deep gaze, and finally, slowly opened her eyes.
Nangong Yaoling’s face changed.
He furrowed his eyebrows tightly, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
Her eyes were filled with blood streaks, looking terrifying.
"Is it this serious?" he asked with some guilt and pain, "Does it still hurt?"
"The doctor prescribed medication. After applying it, it doesn’t hurt as much." Xia Xiaonuan said with her eyes closed.
Nangong Yaoling suddenly reached out, hugged her shoulders, and held her tightly in his arms.
"I’m sorry..." he murmured hoarsely behind her ear.
