Chapter 854 - 874: She Has Already Admitted It
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head: "Qi Yue, when two people are in love, the most important thing is trust. I’ve already told him that there’s nothing between Situ Yan and me. Since he doesn’t believe me, then... why should I bother telling the truth? Besides... I’ve already promised Situ Yan."
"And he still holds shares in the Xia Group. If... we anger him, the Xia Family might face some difficulties too..."
"You can go to Nangong Yaoling, he will help you!"
"Qi Yue!" Xia Xiaonuan smiled bitterly, "Let me live with some dignity. I don’t want to be like a parasite, making the entire Xia Family dependent on the Nangong Group."
Qi Yue sighed.
"Alright... I really can’t understand the business matters and grudges of you high society folks."
Qi Yue said, troubled.
Xia Xiaonuan laughed: "Alright... I’m fine right now, and I just want some peace and quiet. Hurry and eat, it’s almost getting cold!"
"Hmm!" Qi Yue smiled and nodded.
Thinking of something, his pupils flashed slightly.
******
President’s Office.
Nangong Yaoling sat at his desk, looking at the data reports from Europe and other countries around the world, but his brows gradually furrowed.
Why does all this data in front of him turn into the face of Xia Xiaonuan?
Finally, he reached out and closed the notebook.
At that moment, Qin Yi knocked and came in.
"Young Master, the contract for the entertainment city project cooperation with Yatai District has been prepared, please have a look."
Nangong Yaoling reached out, rubbed his brow.
He glanced over it, his handsome face flashed with impatience: "Handle it as you see fit."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback but nodded: "Yes..."
Seeing that Nangong Yaoling seemed off, he hesitated for a few seconds but couldn’t help saying: "Young Master, do you really plan to, with the Young Madam..."
"Don’t mention that woman to me!" Nangong Yaoling roared low, just thinking of Xia Xiaonuan made his anger flare.
Yet, that woman always lingered in his mind!
"Although the old master has returned to Europe, if he finds out about this, I don’t know if he will..."
"Grandfather is already somewhat upset about this matter. Plus, he can’t let go of the company in Europe, so... he probably won’t get involved in our affairs for now."
Qin Yi nodded.
"Young Master... there’s something, I’m not sure if I should say it."
Nangong Yaoling pulled back his chair, rested his legs on the table.
He gloomily glanced at Qin Yi: "Go ahead."
"Actually... if you really doubt whether the child in the Young Madam’s belly is yours, there’s a technology called ’amniocentesis’, which, I hear, can determine if the baby is yours after three months."
Nangong Yaoling’s pupils contracted slightly.
"This is something I have thought about," he said quietly. "But, since Xia Xiaonuan has admitted the child isn’t mine, why should I bother?"
"..."
"I don’t want to be entangled in this matter anymore. You may leave now."
Qin Yi tightened his grip on the document.
As he was about to turn around, he still said: "Young Master... could it be that the Young Madam said it in a moment of anger... I..."
"Enough!" Nangong Yaoling’s cold eyes glared at Qin Yi: "Are you done?"
Qin Yi fell silent, seeing Nangong Yaoling was angry, he quickly stepped back, not daring to breathe heavily, said: "Sorry, Young Master... I’ll go out now. If you’re tired, please rest early."
With that, he quickly turned and left.
Nangong Yaoling rested his head in his hand.
