He took out the letter and couldn’t help but examine it carefully.
When he saw Qi Yue mentioned that she would live well with the child, Nangong Yaoling was slightly stunned.
Qi Yue was pregnant?
As far as he knew, Qi Yue didn’t have a boyfriend, so how could she be pregnant? Besides, Qi Yue didn’t seem like a casual girl.
Nangong Yaoling thought of something, and his heart went "boom," as if something had exploded.
A few days ago, he had been investigating the reason for Qi Yue’s departure, and later because of Xiaonuan’s matter, he hadn’t continued the investigation.
Could it be that Qi Yue left for another reason?
What is the connection between this matter and Xiaonuan and Situ Yan’s affair?
Nangong Yaoling held the letter, his brow furrowed, and his slender fingertips slightly trembled.
A thought emerged in his mind, like bamboo shoots after a rain, making his heart tremble and feeling somewhat incredulous.
That day Xiaonuan said things were not like this.
Could it be...
Nangong Yaoling put down the letter in his hand, picked up a bottle, and poured himself a drink.
He drank it in one go, as if it calmed him down somewhat.
His gaze involuntarily turned toward the direction of the upstairs.
Here Xia Xiaonuan turned over, stretched out her hand to grab beside her, moved, seemed to think of something, slowly opened her eyes, seeing the empty spot beside her, her heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.
She propped herself up, looked out the window, it was almost dawn.
His clothes were still draped over the sofa beside her, so he probably hadn’t left.
Just as she was about to climb out of bed, she faintly heard footsteps, seemingly coming from the staircase.
Her heart fluttered, and she quickly snuggled back under the covers, pretending to continue sleeping. In a moment, the footsteps indeed came closer.
Nangong Yaoling pushed the door open and came in, walking to the bedside.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a bit nervous, thinking he was here to get something, but tried hard to relax, fearing she’d irritate him again.
Unexpectedly, he got onto the bed directly and lay down beside her.
Xia Xiaonuan, who was a bit sleepy, became wide awake after his actions.
She felt a hidden joy mixed with a bit of confusion.
Where had he just gone? She vaguely smelled a hint of alcohol, sniffed again, and suddenly felt something tickling her nose.
"Ah... ah... achoo!" Out of the blue, she couldn’t hold back and sneezed.
For a moment, both of them were stunned.
Xia Xiaonuan opened her eyes to see Nangong Yaoling turning his head, looking at her with a complex gaze.
She was so embarrassed, her face heated, just about to speak—and suddenly sneezed again.
"Achoo—!"
She opened her eyes and saw Nangong Yaoling, seemingly with a face full of dashed lines, reaching out to wipe his face.
Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but giggle, rubbing her face against him while she laughed.
"Your saliva’s all over my pajamas." In the dim light, the man’s voice was muffled. Yet he didn’t avoid her like last time.
Xia Xiaonuan laughed while sniffing his scent, whispering, "I’ll wash it for you."
Nangong Yaoling suddenly shifted, Xia Xiaonuan’s face changed, thinking he was angry. But she only saw him reaching out, straightening the scattered quilt beside her and covering her up.
The man’s handsome face, under the misty light, carried a kind of dreamy beauty.
