Chapter 834 - 854: Could She Be Pregnant Too?
When Xia Xiaonuan woke up, it was already evening.
The air was filled with a strong smell of herbal medicine. Xia Xiaonuan frowned slightly and reached out to touch her head.
At this moment, Yun’s voice came through.
"Young Madam, you’re awake, that’s great!"
Xia Xiaonuan saw Yun holding a tray from which steam was rising.
"What is that? It smells awful."
Xia Xiaonuan frowned and said.
"It’s herbal medicine... wait for it to cool down a bit, and then drink it, Young Madam," Yun said softly.
Xia Xiaonuan reached out her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
"My child..."
Yun smiled warmly and said, "Don’t worry, the child is fine! This medicine is prescribed by the doctor to help stabilize the pregnancy."
Xia Xiaonuan sighed in relief.
Thinking of something, she couldn’t help but ask, "Nangong... Nangong Yaoling?"
"The young master stayed home with you all day and just left not long ago. He probably went to the company."
Xia Xiaonuan was slightly stunned.
Nangong Yaoling stayed at home with her?
Wasn’t he suspecting that her child was Situ Yan’s? Why would he stay with her?
She tried to prop herself up, and Yun quickly helped her up.
"Young Madam, please wait a moment. You’ve sweated a lot. I’ll get some water to wipe your face."
"Thank you."
Xia Xiaonuan said.
Looking at the medicine bowl beside her, she let out a small sigh of relief.
At that moment, suddenly, a maid knocked on the door and said, "Young Madam, Miss Qi Yue is here to see you."
Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but feel pleased. She hadn’t seen Qi Yue for a long time, and she’d been worried about her since the last incident.
"Please invite her up!"
"Yes!"
******
Nangong Yaoling sat at his desk.
Looking at Nangong Feihong in front of him.
"What you said, is it all true?"
"Yes..." Nangong Feihong hesitated and said, "Xiaonuan perhaps wasn’t willing, it was all because of that Situ Yan, that big troublemaker!"
Nangong Feihong said furiously.
Although he was also angry, he knew the one truly hurt and upset by this was the Crown Prince.
He didn’t want Nangong Yaoling to hurt Xiaonuan because of this matter.
Even though he still couldn’t accept what he saw, if Xiaonuan got hurt, he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself either.
Nangong Yaoling’s hand, resting on the table, clenched slightly.
"Brother... how’s Xiaonuan? Don’t bully her, she actually... always wanted to run away with me!"
Originally, Nangong Feihong hated Xia Xiaonuan the most, yet at this moment, he couldn’t help but start speaking up for her.
A hint of undetectable weariness flickered in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes.
"Got it." He waved his hand at Nangong Feihong.
Nangong Feihong insisted, "You must not harm her..."
Nangong Yaoling looked up.
Nangong Feihong was startled by his cold gaze and immediately said, "Alright, I’m leaving..." With that, he turned around and left.
Qin Yi commented from the side, "Young Master, I don’t think Young Madam is that kind of person. About this matter, you..."
Nangong Yaoling waved his hand, "You leave too."
Qin Yi: "..."
"Yes..."
Previously, he also didn’t believe Xiaonuan would be entangled with another man.
But now, he really wasn’t sure anymore.
*****
In the bedroom.
Qi Yue and Xiaonuan sat side by side on the bed. Qi Yue held Xiaonuan’s hand and said with heartache, "Xiaonuan... look at you, you’ve lost weight. Have you been suffering a lot these days?"
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Qi Yue and said, "It’s nothing, don’t worry, I’m doing well, aren’t I? It’s a good way to lose weight!"
