Free Web NovelChapter 1236: Chapter 1256: Lying in Bed with Him
Xia Xiaonuan slowly opened her eyes, looking at the complex light in his eyes, as if there was mist shrouding his pupils, or perhaps stars flickering.
His exquisite features under the light had a kind of compelling beauty, his forehead glistening with sweat, exuding a wild charm.
Xia Xiaonuan felt slightly shaken inside, and for some reason, she thought of something, and suddenly spoke involuntarily, her black and white clear eyes widened, softly and timidly asking, "Nangong Yaoling... do you think I’m dirty?"
Nangong Yaoling’s eyebrows twitched.
He widened his eyes and stared at her, astonished at the words that spontaneously came out of her mouth. After she said this, she seemed to realize something, and her cheeks quickly turned red, her long eyelashes gently lowered.
Her eyelashes were very long, her cheeks originally snowy white and flawless, now tinged with blush, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, with a hint of flour still stuck at the corner of her eyes.
She looked like Snow White playing Cinderella in a fairy tale, possessing a breathtaking beauty.
Yet, Nangong Yaoling felt a numb pain seizing his heart.
Thinking about her words.
A trace of bitterness flitted through his heart.
He just didn’t want to hurt her... but still cruelly struck her.
"Yes." he said indifferently, releasing her, turning away, and walking outside.
Xia Xiaonuan heard footsteps leaving, then the sound of someone going upstairs.
She was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to her senses, her gaze falling on the cookies on the ground.
Suddenly, she felt a headache attack.
She held her head, her whole body crouching on the ground.
In her mind, a scene suddenly surfaced, where she was carrying freshly baked cookies, pushing open the study door.
And then saw Nangong Yaoling with another woman...
A surge of indescribable pain arose in her heart, a deeply oppressive feeling seizing her.
She reached out and knocked on her head.
What’s going on?
Why would she think of something she hadn’t done?
Could this be remnants of memories from that person, Xia Xiaonuan?
Why did it suddenly appear so clearly in her mind?
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head, unknowingly, tears began to flow.
She stood up, tidied her clothes, crouched down, and picked up the cookies one by one from the ground.
These cookies, she had spent a whole night trying to make.
She held the cookies in her hands, sighed helplessly.
Should she really tell him that actually, it was Qi Yue who was pregnant with Situ Yan’s child?
But wouldn’t that be harmful to Qi Yue?
She shook her head.
Ultimately, she still threw those cookies in the trash bin.
She washed her hands at the basin, then headed upstairs.
When she arrived at the bedroom, Nangong Yaoling was taking a shower in the bathroom, he seemed somewhat more awake.
She glanced at the figure in the bathroom, and the necklace floated back into her mind.
"Lady, have you been in contact with anything special or seen any unusual people recently?"
Suddenly, Qin Yi’s words surfaced in her mind.
Her whole body trembled involuntarily.
And her complexion turned ugly.
The necklace...
Right, during that time, it was the only piece she frequently wore.
But, how could it be possible?
She used to watch some TV dramas, where some plots would involve villains causing pregnant women to miscarry by using some kind of substance tainted with abortive drugs, causing them to unknowingly miscarriage.
But, after all, that was TV drama, how could such things truly happen in reality?
