Chapter 963 - 983: One to the Left, One to the Right
The corners of his lips curved into a cold smile, but upon thinking of something, his gaze became involuntarily dim.
"Xiaonuan... rest assured, I won’t let you continue to suffer."
Just then, suddenly, everything went black.
The sound of the television vanished, and the power in the entire room was cut off.
Nangong Yaoling frowned slightly in the darkness.
After a while, Qin Yi knocked on the door and came in, holding a flashlight, saying, "Young Master, the whole city of Melbourne has lost power. It’s said that... this explosion shattered the wires, causing a citywide blackout, and the staff is urgently repairing it."
In the dark, Nangong Yaoling exhaled a turbid breath.
"I understand."
Qin Yi walked out the door.
Nangong Feihong was lying in bed watching TV, unexpectedly the power went out. He jumped out of bed and rushed outside.
"Several staff members holding portable power lamps awkwardly explained to every guest in each suite the reason for the blackout."
Nangong Feihong helplessly returned to the bedroom.
Xia Xiaonuan walked out of the room.
"Why did the power go out?" She asked the service staff under the glow of the lamp.
"The service staff patiently explained that it was due to the explosion, and the repair would take about half an hour."
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
The staff finished explaining and headed upstairs.
Xia Xiaonuan stood by the hallway window; from here, when there’s no power outage, one can see the city nightscape at night, and the distant sea in the day, it’s very beautiful.
But now, there was only darkness, and somewhere not far away under the night sky, thick white smoke was billowing.
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head bitterly.
In this world, every day, perhaps in some corner of the world, stories of destruction and rebirth, reunion and separation, are playing out.
And sometimes, the separation we choose is perhaps just beyond our control.
Nangong Yaoling, hearing that you can start a new life, can live happily, I’m truly happy.
But... thinking of you with another woman, I feel jealous once more.
Perhaps, I am too greedy.
She reached out her hand, placing it on her small belly, actually owning this little treasure, I am already very content.
Truly.
Just then, the door of the presidential suite opened, and Nangong Yaoling slowly walked out.
The bodyguard was about to speak, but Nangong Yaoling raised his hand.
The bodyguard quickly stepped aside.
The man’s tall figure walked to the window, taking out a lighter, elegantly lighting a cigarette, gazing outside the window.
Under the dark light, two people, one on the left side of the corridor, the other standing at the far right.
The scent of the cigarette filled the nostrils, smoke spread, revealing sparks in the darkness.
The man’s deep gaze rested on the distant smoke, even brighter than the stars in the sky.
Xiaonuan... for you, not to mention a few buildings, I wouldn’t hesitate to overturn the entire city.
But... where exactly are you?
Why is it sometimes you feel so close, yet so far away?
Nangong Yaoling reached out his hand, supporting the floor-to-ceiling window.
Xia Xiaonuan sensed something and slowly turned her head.
Vaguely, a man in a corner at the other end, his face unclear, could only see the cigarette clamped in his hand, flickering in the night.
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head.
It seems that tonight, she wasn’t the only one who had lost her memory!
She curved her lips into a smile, feeling somewhat cold, turned around, and walked toward her room.
Nangong Yaoling heard the door closing sound, his gaze resting on the spot where Xia Xiaonuan had just stood.
