Free Web NovelChapter 1225: Chapter 1245: Do You Still Want Me 5
She looked at the photographs on the wall, her lips slowly curling into a smile.
Nangong Yaoling always loved taking candid shots of her, some at the beach, some at home, ones she herself had never seen.
Yet they were developed and hung up by him.
Looking at the photo on the island, where she and Nangong Yaoling were kissing.
It was placed at the very center by Nangong Yaoling.
She reached out, gently touching the handsome face of the man in the photograph.
Nangong Yaoling... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to keep things from you, it’s just, I really don’t know what to do about this.
Qi Yue is my best friend, I only wish for her to be happy and safe.
Do you understand?
After standing there for a while, a servant came in with bird’s nest soup.
"Young Madam, the bird’s nest soup is ready."
"Put it down, I’ll drink it later."
"Alright."
"By the way..." Xia Xiaonuan thought of something and asked: "Did the Young Master come back today?"
Qin Yi said he was taking care of her at the hospital last night, he should come home in the morning to change clothes, right?
The servant quickly replied: "No... the Young Master got drunk last night and slept in until late morning, he went straight to the company after waking up and hasn’t returned yet."
Xia Xiaonuan’s body slightly stiffened at the words.
Her face also turned a bit grim.
"Are you saying the Young Master was drunk last night? He slept at home?"
"Yes," the servant smiled and said: "The Young Master was brought home by the driver in the middle of the night, drank a lot of alcohol, and slept soundly until this morning..."
Xia Xiaonuan forced a smile: "I see, you can go now."
"Young Madam, your complexion doesn’t look good, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, I’ll feel better after resting for a bit."
"Alright then, call me if you need anything."
After the servant left, Xia Xiaonuan slowly sat on the edge of the bed.
A wave of disappointment washed over her heart.
So, Qin Yi was deceiving her. Last night, Nangong Yaoling didn’t watch over her all night.
Qin Yi said that just to comfort her, didn’t he?
But no means no... Nangong Yaoling must loathe her now, right?
Xia Xiaonuan thought helplessly, in this situation, could he still forgive her?
She bit her lower lip, feeling a sharp pain in her head.
She was simply infuriated by Nangong Zhongli.
From the start, she knew she shouldn’t be friends with someone like Nangong Zhongli.
Her nature was strong, and she was smart, plus she had been doted on since childhood.
When things were good, she might truly be nice to you.
But once someone provoked her, she definitely wouldn’t let them off; now it seems, she’d fallen into a trap.
All sorts of schemes were used, she was driven mad.
Yet she was Nangong Yaoling’s own sister, even without Nangong Yaoling, there was still grandfather.
She always couldn’t do anything about her.
And now, with her weak point in her hand, she had to endure it even more.
For now, she could only hope Qi Yue would be safe.
Xia Xiaonuan slept in the bedroom until afternoon, waking up when it was already evening.
Vaguely, she heard noise from downstairs.
She opened her eyes, hearing footsteps approaching upstairs.
It was Nangong Yaoling!
She instantly became alert, but didn’t turn on the light, nor dared to get out of bed.
She just lay there, listening to the sounds outside.
Soon, the footsteps moved to the bedroom door.
Xia Xiaonuan tightly gripped the bedsheet with one hand, her heart racing.
Would he come in?
The footsteps stopped at the door, and after a dozen seconds, she slowly heard the door opening.
Next, the bedroom lights were turned on.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly closed her eyes.
