Chapter 744 - 755: Trapped by Nangong Zhongli’s Scheme
Now, Nangong Zhongli knew she was Qiqi, she became passive, and Nangong Zhongli also became increasingly dangerous to her!
The next day, as soon as Xia Xiaonuan got up, Qi Yue arrived.
"Miss Qi Yue, please wait a moment, I’ll go call the young mistress..."
"No need, I’ll go up directly!"
Hearing a knock on the door, Xia Xiaonuan was taken aback. She turned around and saw Qi Yue at the doorway.
A hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"Qi Yue?"
"Hey!" Qi Yue cheerfully walked in. "Lazybones, I thought you hadn’t gotten up yet!"
Smiling, Xia Xiaonuan stepped forward, held her hand and said, "Just woke up not long ago. Why did you come so suddenly?"
"I called you earlier but you didn’t answer. The drama troupe is off today. I was bored, so I came to see you!"
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned. She quickly picked up her phone and saw that indeed there were two missed calls.
"I just went to the bathroom, didn’t hear it." Xia Xiaonuan laughed.
Qi Yue looked at her with concern. "How have you been lately? You look thinner."
Xia Xiaonuan smiled bitterly, "A lot has happened recently... It’s a long story."
"Then take your time telling it!" Qi Yue laughed. "Is it because you and the Crown Prince had another falling out?"
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head and glanced at the clock. "By the way, I can’t chat for long. Zhongli asked me out for coffee."
"Nangong Zhongli? Are you two getting along well now?"
"..."
"What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale? Why did he ask you out?"
"I’m not sure either..."
"How about this, I’ll go with you! I’m not doing anything anyway! If you don’t mind me being in the way."
"Sure." Xia Xiaonuan nodded. "If you’re willing, I’d be happy!"
To be honest, she was a bit worried about what if Nangong Zhongli had someone beat her up? Or what if he splashed acid to ruin her face, who would come to her rescue if she died? Having Qi Yue around would give her some courage.
So, after chatting for a while, Xia Xiaonuan and Qi Yue went to the café together.
...
They sat down at the spot Nangong Zhongli had reserved.
"Hello, are you Miss Xia?" the barista asked Xia Xiaonuan.
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
"This is your milk tea..."
"Okay..."
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Qi Yue, "What do you want to drink?"
Qi Yue glanced at the milk tea in front of her, still steaming, and laughed, "I’ll have the same."
The waiter nodded and turned to leave.
Xia Xiaonuan nervously looked around. There weren’t many people in the café, and at that moment, they were the only customers on the first floor.
However, there was still no sign of Nangong Zhongli.
Qi Yue too began to get anxious, "Nangong Zhongli isn’t going to stand you up, is he?"
"I hope not."
"Where’s my milk tea?" Qi Yue anxiously asked. Xia Xiaonuan had no appetite for milk tea, so she pushed her cup towards Qi Yue, "Here, you drink this first, I’ll drink yours later."
"Sure!" Qi Yue laughed, taking a deep breath, "Smells so good..."
Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but laugh, "You little glutton!"
After a while, Xia Xiaonuan frowned, "I should give her a call..." As she said that, she picked up her bag and was about to search for her phone.
Qi Yue quickly handed her phone to her, "Don’t bother looking, use mine!"
"Alright..."
Taking the phone, Xia Xiaonuan said, "I’m going to the restroom for a bit."
Qi Yue winked with a smile, "Go ahead! I won’t eavesdrop!"
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head and turned to leave.
