Chapter 853 - 873: I’m Going to Tell the Crown Prince the Truth
"It’s nothing... I just wanted to chat with you. Where are you now? I’ll come find you."
"Alright."
Xia Xiaonuan told Qi Yue the address, and soon, Qi Yue arrived at the bookstore.
Qi Yue took Xiaonuan’s hand mysteriously and said, "Pregnant women have a lot of precautions, right? Like certain foods and habits?"
Xia Xiaonuan laughed, "Why, are you trying to learn from me so you can use it when you’re pregnant?"
Qi Yue scratched her head.
She laughed and said, "Yeah!"
"Actually, there’s not much... just be careful with the food, and in early pregnancy, don’t move around too much... Actually, I’m just learning now too. Look, I just bought a book."
Qi Yue took the pregnancy book from Xiaonuan’s hand.
She thought to herself that she would have to buy one later too.
"Let’s go eat something... By the way, can pregnant women eat spicy and sour noodles? I really want to eat them..."
"It should be fine. Listening to you makes me want to eat them too..." Xia Xiaonuan laughed, not knowing that Qi Yue was asking not just for her but because she was pregnant herself.
The two of them talked and held hands as they looked for a place to eat spicy and sour noodles.
Since it was not yet noon, there weren’t too many people in the shop. They chose a spot in the corner.
The air was filled with the aroma of spicy and sour noodles.
She hadn’t eaten them in a long time and really missed them.
She remembered the last time she ate them, it seemed to be in a past life when she was still another Xia Xiaonuan.
Qi Yue said, "Tell me quickly, what’s going on between you and Nangong Yaoling?"
Xia Xiaonuan initially didn’t want Qi Yue to worry, but seeing her keep asking, she didn’t want to hide it anymore.
So she told Qi Yue everything about her and Nangong Yaoling.
"What? You got divorced?" Qi Yue was shocked, "Is it true this time? You really... your child is really not Prince Nangong’s?"
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head.
"It doesn’t matter anymore. Even if I say it is, he wouldn’t believe me. I don’t want my child to be suspected by his father the moment he’s born. If that’s the case, it’s better to have no father!"
Qi Yue sighed.
"Xiaonuan, how could you be so foolish? If the child is the Prince’s, you have to explain it to him! It’s too unfair for him to misunderstand you like this!"
Qi Yue slapped the table, "No, I have to go explain to the Prince!"
As Qi Yue said this, she suddenly stood up.
Xia Xiaonuan hastily grabbed her hand.
"Qi Yue, calm down!"
Qi Yue looked at her helplessly.
"He doesn’t even believe me, so why would he believe you? Besides, Nangong Feihong saw me lying with another man. Even if I explain, what’s the use?"
"But you can’t just bear such an unjust accusation!" Qi Yue gritted her teeth.
"Forget it..."
"Xiaonuan, tell me, why are you involved with that man? I don’t believe you would betray Nangong Yaoling..."
Xia Xiaonuan lowered her head.
"Xiaonuan, do you really consider me your close sister?" Qi Yue asked, pretending to be angry.
Xia Xiaonuan glanced to the side and lowered her voice, "I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone else."
Qi Yue nodded.
Xia Xiaonuan then told Qi Yue about how she had asked Situ Yan for help with a blood transfusion back then.
Qi Yue covered her mouth in shock.
"So that’s what happened! Why didn’t you tell the Prince the truth? Xiaonuan, you did so much for him, but... he knows nothing and even blamed you instead!"
