Free Web NovelChapter 1244: Chapter 1264: What Did Young Master Learn?
Nangong Yaoling’s breathing was slightly unsteady as he looked at Xia Xiaonuan expressionlessly.
Xia Xiaonuan blinked at him.
Nangong Yaoling suddenly stood up, and Xia Xiaonuan’s heart raced... but his gaze dropped abruptly, landing on her bare feet. He raised his eyes and glared at her, saying coldly, "Is walking barefoot on the floor fun?"
Xia Xiaonuan’s lips twitched slightly.
"Uh..."
Did he get the point wrong?
"Aren’t you going to put on your shoes?" Nangong Yaoling commanded.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"Oh... I... I’m going to sleep..." she said weakly, quickly turning around and climbing onto the big bed beside her.
Nangong Yaoling watched her helpless and meek demeanor, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.
He put the newspaper aside, reached out his hand, and took off his T-shirt.
Walked straight towards the bathroom.
Curled up under the covers, Xia Xiaonuan watched the man’s back, swallowing with resignation.
Plan failed...
When Nangong Yaoling came out, Xiaonuan was already asleep.
He came to the bedside; the girl was lying on her side, her fair little face with long eyelashes drooping.
Nangong Yaoling sat at the edge of the bed, reached out, and affectionately played with her hair.
In his eyes, there was a trace of softness and tenderness.
Foolish woman, I don’t want to hurt your body. Do you even know what you’re doing?
His lips curved slightly, and he lay down beside her.
Lightly he pulled her head into his embrace, taking in her scent deeply.
Turned off the lamp and slowly closed his eyes.

Qi Yue had just gotten up not long ago, and as soon as she finished breakfast, her phone started ringing.
An unfamiliar number.
She was slightly taken aback; maybe it was a wrong number? This was a new number, and few people called her.
But after thinking for a while, she answered it anyway.
"Hello." Qi Yue said with a smile.
"Hello, is this Miss Qi Yue?"
"Yes... and you are?" Qi Yue looked confused.
"I am Qin Yi, our Young Master would like to meet you. Are you available today?" Qin Yi said politely on the other end of the call.
At the sound of the voice, Qi Yue’s phone clattered to the ground.
"Miss Qi Yue, are you okay?" Qin Yi’s concerned voice came through as the phone lay on the carpet.
Qi Yue was completely dumbfounded, picking up the phone, unsure of what to say, extremely nervous, she ended up hanging up the phone.
What to do?
She stood up from the sofa, her face turning sour.
Did Young Master find out something? How did Young Master find her number?
She thought that by moving to a different city, no one would find her.
Qi Yue bit her lower lip, anxiously pacing in the living room.
After a while, the phone rang again.
The same number as before.
No way... She hadn’t told anyone about this; could it be Nangong Zhongli who said something? But Mr. Liang had already assured her to rest easy, Zhongli wouldn’t hurt her anymore.
What’s going on?
Or maybe it’s not about her child’s matter at all.
With this thought, Qi Yue held on to a bit of hope.
Perhaps it’s about something related to Xiaonuan.
Yes, ask Mr. Qin what’s going on first!
Qi Yue thought, answering the call.
"Mr. Qin... May I ask, does Young Master have something for me?"
"This matter is a bit difficult to explain over the phone. Considering you are pregnant and it’s inconvenient for your body, Young Master will personally come to Samlia today. Would you prefer to meet at home or outside?"
