Chapter 929 - 949: Xiaonuan’s Child Is His
Qi Yue’s eyes widened when she saw Nangong Yaoling being helped out by Qin Yi, and her eyes lit up.
She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Qin! Crown Prince!"
Qin Yi paused slightly upon seeing Qi Yue.
He quickly said, "Miss Qi Yue, why are you at the company? Is it... news about the Young Madam?"
Nangong Yaoling supported his forehead with his hand, and upon hearing Qin Yi’s words, he couldn’t help but lift his eyes.
The effects of the alcohol seemed to vanish instantly.
He stepped forward, grabbed Qi Yue’s wrist tightly, and said, "Is it Xiaonuan? Did Xiaonuan contact you?"
As the man approached, a strong smell of alcohol permeated the air.
Qi Yue was hurt by his tight grip and had never seen Prince Nangong like this before, leaving her shocked and terrified.
Trembling, she said, "Yes... Xiaonuan... Xiaonuan called me this morning..."
"What? Xiaonuan called you?" Nangong Yaoling’s pupils instantly flashed with brilliance.
His grip on Qi Yue’s hand suddenly tightened: "Where’s Xiaonuan? How is she?"
Qi Yue cried out in pain, her brow furrowed.
"Xiaonuan... she’s... she’s okay..."
Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and said, "Crown Prince, please calm down."
Upon seeing Qin Yi’s intervention, Nangong Yaoling realized his overexcitement and quickly released Qi Yue.
"Tell me, what did Xiaonuan say? Where is she? Did that bastard bully her!?"
Qi Yue rubbed her swollen wrist while shaking her head: "No... Xiaonuan said she’s fine..."
Nangong Yaoling: "..."
The CEO office.
Qi Yue sat on the sofa, recounting word for word her conversation with Xia Xiaonuan to Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling sat at the desk, his mind plunged into a complex reverie.
Xiaonuan said... the child is Situ Yan’s?
Why? Why would she say that?
"Miss Qi Yue... the Young Madam... really said that?" Qin Yi, also taken aback, couldn’t help but be embarrassed; originally thinking that Qi Yue would bring good news, she instead delivered such a blunder.
How did the child become Situ Yan’s?
Qi Yue quickly shook her head: "I would never dare deceive the Crown Prince, it’s true! Xiaonuan seemed quite urgent at the time. Whatever I said, she wouldn’t let me speak.
In the end, she hurriedly hung up the phone."
Nangong Yaoling’s hand on the desk lightly tapped twice.
Suddenly, realizing something, his palm tightened instantly.
His eyes held a complex expression.
He understood; he finally understood...
"Young Master... are you okay?" Qin Yi noticed something wrong with Nangong Yaoling’s expression and asked with concern.
Nangong Yaoling suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Xiaonuan’s child is indeed mine," Nangong Yaoling concluded.
Qin Yi, however, was completely puzzled.
"Crown Prince, since that’s the case, you..."
However... he now also knew another fact, which was... Xia Xiaonuan once did indeed have relations with Situ Yan.
When did it happen?
Was it after they talked about divorce?
Or was it when she was taken away by Situ Yan?
Was it after she conceived his child, or before?
Nangong Yaoling suddenly felt as if a large stone was pressed against his chest, causing an oppressive discomfort.
"I suspect, could it be that because Situ Yan was beside Xiaonuan, she had no choice but to say that?" Qi Yue boldly speculated while looking at Qin Yi and Nangong Yaoling.
Qin Yi nodded and said, "It seems likely."
"Correct." Nangong Yaoling nodded as well.
He looked at Qin Yi and said, "Go check that number for me..."
