Chapter 2476: Chapter 2476: This Is Outrageous

"Hmm. Otherwise, if you hurt me again..."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Zexin angrily interrupted her, "Leave immediately, and don’t ever come looking for me again!"

Nangong Ruyue curved her lips: "I was just joking. Why are you so anxious."

"..."

"I’m not a fool, how could I let you hurt me again."

Only then did Xiao Zexin’s expression soften: "Since that’s the case, you and Tianling should leave together tomorrow."

"I said I’m not leaving. Even if I stay, you won’t harm me."

"Ruyue..."

"There’s no need to say it, my decision won’t change."

Xiao Zexin was quite helpless; why had she become so stubborn?

"Mother-in-law, I think you should reconsider and leave with me." Ruan Tianling advised her.

Nangong Ruyue shook her head: "I’m not leaving. If you’re worried about me, just have the bodyguards here only listen to my orders, how about that?"

Ruan Tianling didn’t understand her intention.

Nangong Ruyue smiled: "You just need to make them follow my orders, don’t worry, I can handle it, I won’t take unnecessary risks."

"Mother-in-law, you’re about to give birth soon, I think it’s better if you leave first."

"I said I’m not leaving. If you’re worried about me, let them follow my instructions, this way I can better protect myself."

Seeing her persistence, Ruan Tianling had no choice.

"Alright, I’ll instruct them."

Only then did Nangong Ruyue smile happily.

Xiao Zexin looked at her, puzzled, unable to figure out what she was planning.

Yet his intuition told him that Ruyue had some plan.

"Ruyue, are you planning something?" he asked tentatively.

Nangong Ruyue smiled without speaking, he couldn’t extract anything from her.

As it was too late, Ruan Tianling stayed the night.

Early the next morning, after sorting everything out, he left by car.

However, Nangong Ruyue instructed him not to tell Yufei about these matters for the time being.

She said it would only make her unnecessarily worried.

She also said she could handle everything there, so Ruan Tianling and the others shouldn’t worry.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Ruan Tianling chose to trust her.

Perhaps, she really could handle it all on her own.

...

Ruan Tianling’s car drove into the distance—

Xiao Zexin looked across at Nangong Ruyue, feeling quite frustrated.

"Ruyue, you should leave with Tianling."

Nangong Ruyue leaned on the sofa, looking at him with a slight smile: "Let me tell you straight, even if it means dying, I won’t leave you."

Xiao Zexin’s throat moved, feeling deeply moved, yet angered by her stubborn temperament.

He sighed: "This isn’t truly leaving, it’s just staying away from me for a while. After you give birth, maybe my illness will be cured."

"No, once the child is born, your illness will never be cured." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Xiao Zexin was slightly stunned—

Nangong Ruyue stared at him: "Once the child is born, will you still have the chance to harm him?"

Xiao Zexin’s expression was shocked: "Do you think I would truly harm him?!"

"That’s not what I mean, I’m saying once the child is born, there won’t be a chance for you to harm him."

Xiao Zexin suddenly stood up!

He stared at her, unable to suppress the anger in his eyes.

"You... what are you trying to do, you want me to harm you?! You’re being utterly ridiculous!"

How could she treat her life as a joke!

How could she...

Xiao Zexin had never imagined she would have such thoughts, he was so furious his whole body was trembling.
