Free Web NovelChapter 1241: Chapter 1261: Xiaonuan Forces a Kiss on Nangong Yaoling 3
Only then did Xia Xiaonuan slowly open her eyes, turn her head, and look at the sky outside.
It was already broad daylight.
"Good morning, brand-new beautiful day."
She curved her lips, closed her eyes, and said softly in her heart.

President’s office.
Nangong Yaoling held a gold pen in his hand, spinning it over and over.
Qin Yi handed a lab report to Nangong Yaoling.
"Young Master, this was found at Qi Yue’s place... but we still can’t be sure whose child Miss Qi Yue is carrying."
Nangong Yaoling’s movements stopped.
He reached out, took the lab report, and glanced at it.
"Young Master... about Qi Yue, didn’t you say we didn’t need to keep investigating her?"
Qin Yi’s face was full of confusion. It was clearly the Young Master who had said to stop checking, yet today he suddenly wanted to investigate Qi Yue again.
Nangong Yaoling frowned slightly.
"Go find out where she is now. You must locate her as soon as possible. I want to see her."
"Yes, Young Master! It’s just that... when Miss Qi Yue left, no one knew where she was going. If we want to find her, I’m afraid it’ll be a bit difficult..."
Nangong Yaoling lifted his eyes, his gaze icy as it landed on Qin Yi.
Qin Yi couldn’t help lowering his head.
Thinking of something, he looked at the lab report in front of him, his eyes lighting up as he hurriedly said, "Right! Miss Qi Yue is pregnant. As long as she goes to the hospital regularly for prenatal checkups, she should be easy to find."
"Then why aren’t you going? Take this with you."
"Yes, Young Master!" Qin Yi finished, took the lab report, and quickly turned to leave.
Nangong Yaoling sat behind the desk, his posture lazy as he propped his legs up on it.
In his mind surfaced the scene from this morning, Xiaonuan’s crazed state.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, falling across the man’s chiseled features. His lips pressed into a faint line as he lifted his hand, fingertips brushing over his own lips.
The movement was flamboyant yet seductive.
A streak of tender emotion flashed across the man’s stunningly handsome face.

Xiaonuan sat on the sofa in the bedroom, holding her phone.
On the screen was Liang Shaochen’s number.
She had hesitated for a long time over whether to call Liang Shaochen and ask what was really going on.
If that necklace really was a gift from Shaochen, then there probably shouldn’t be any problem.
Shaochen would never hurt her.
But if it wasn’t from Shaochen, then how exactly did that necklace end up in her clothes?
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart was in complete chaos. Staring at the phone screen, she gritted her teeth and still dialed the number.
"Beep... beep..."
The call rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
Xia Xiaonuan was just about to hang up when suddenly the call connected.
"Hello?" It was a woman’s voice with perfectly standard pronunciation. Xia Xiaonuan froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Um... is Shaochen there?"
"I’m sorry, our president is in a meeting. I’m his secretary, Kited. Could you call again later? Or if there’s something, I can pass on a message for you."
Hearing this, Xia Xiaonuan quickly said, "No need, it’s nothing urgent. I’ll call him again later."
"Alright then, goodbye."
After hanging up, Xia Xiaonuan didn’t know why, but she felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.
Perhaps she really shouldn’t have impulsively called him like that.
Xia Xiaonuan stood up, walked over to the cabinet, and pulled open a drawer.
She took out the necklace from inside.
Maybe she should figure things out first, and then ask Shaochen. It wouldn’t be too late.
Xia Xiaonuan got dressed and was just about to head out.
But unexpectedly, the bodyguards at the door blocked her way.
