Free Web NovelChapter 1166: Chapter 1186: Her Child or Xiaonuan
No... she wouldn’t do anything to harm Xiaonuan! "Why are you doing this? Xiaonuan’s child is the Crown Prince’s, and she has such a good relationship with him. Why do you..."
Nangong Zhongli sat down opposite her.
He picked up the coffee cup and took a gentle sip.
He looked up at Qi Yue, with a smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"Good relationship? Don’t be silly. Xiaonuan and Situ Yan have always been entangled. Do you think, with that ambiguous child, the Nangong Family can accept it? Qi Yue, I never intended to harm Xiaonuan. I’m just leaving her a way out."
"Think about it, if she has the child and the Crown Prince finds out it’s Situ Yan’s, will the Crown Prince forgive her? Will he accept someone else’s child as his own?"
"But if we let the Crown Prince know now, and if he loves Xiaonuan, perhaps he will forgive her. That way, everyone can continue living happily, right?"
Nangong Zhongli asked, his smile not reaching his eyes.
Qi Yue’s hand under the table slowly dug into the table edge with her nails, making a "creak-creak" sound.
She glared at Nangong Zhongli, her eyes red: "No matter what, I will not betray Xiaonuan!"
Nangong Zhongli raised an eyebrow: "Are you really willing to let your own child just disappear like that?"
She used the word disappear.
This instantly turned Qi Yue’s face pale.
She trembled slightly, looking incredulously at Nangong Zhongli.
Of course, she understood what she meant. No matter how she sugarcoated it, it was just to cover up the fact that she wanted Xiaonuan to get rid of the child!
No, she wouldn’t betray or harm Xiaonuan. Xiaonuan was so good to her, how could she do that to her?
But the child in her womb... ƒrēewebnovel.com
Does she really have to give up her own baby?
Nangong Zhongli saw her dazed look and couldn’t help but say, "I can give you three days to think it over. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer in three days."
After saying this, Nangong Zhongli picked up her Hermès bag and got up to leave.
She stopped, turned around, and looked at her, one hand supporting the table, and said coldly, "I hope you can be smart. You should know, my brother has spoiled me since childhood. No matter what I do, he’s always on my side. So don’t even think about telling this to the Crown Prince.
Also, don’t try any tricks. If you want your child and your family in Samlia to remain safe..."
Qi Yue couldn’t take it anymore and stood up, looking at Nangong Zhongli.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"
Nangong Zhongli looked at her angry yet aggrieved face, reached out, and gently brushed her ponytail on her shoulder.
She put it behind her head.
"Because you are Xia Xiaonuan’s friend." She examined her face, paused, and said with a faint smile: "Xiaonuan is my friend too. I don’t want her to take a path of no return..."
After saying this, she patted her shoulder and turned to leave.
Nangong Zhongli had been gone for a long time, yet Qi Yue remained in the same position, standing there motionless.
A service staff passing by looked at her with concern: "Madam, are you okay?"
Qi Yue finally returned to her senses. She shook her head, leaned against the table, and collapsed into the chair.
The air still lingered with the scent of Nangong Zhongli. She supported her head with her hand, feeling a sense of confusion.
