Refusing the Rich: The Young Master's Escaping Bride-Chapter 17 Coveting Her for Many Years

The handsome face in the mirror above the sink looked gloomy and terrifying.

At that moment, his face was more unsightly than ever before, and his entire body exuded an aura of coldness bordering on destruction.

This woman actually let another man buy her contraceptive pills, which was simply an unprecedented insult to him, Nangong Yaoling!

She could take the pills, but if another man bought them, it had a completely different meaning!

The most important thing was that the man had been coveting her for years.

Nangong Yaoling clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead. If it were the old Xia Xiaonuan, he wouldn’t mind them being close at all because that Xia Xiaonuan was hopelessly in love with him.

But this woman now...

Xia Xiaonuan lay on the bed pretending to sleep. The workers who were cleaning and installing had already left. She heard Nangong Yaoling enter the bathroom and regretted throwing the box directly into the trash. If Nangong Yaoling knew that Nangong Feihong helped her, he would certainly cause trouble for him.

But on second thought, who told him to snatch the treasure first? She had no choice!

"Bang—!"

There was a loud noise from the bathroom, and Xia Xiaonuan’s heart skipped a beat.

The sound of glass shattering on the floor made Xia Xiaonuan clutch tightly at the sheets.

She quietly reassured herself that it had nothing to do with her.

The bathroom door was pulled open, and a series of footsteps approached. Xia Xiaonuan’s entire body tensed up. Although her back was to him, she could still feel the powerful magnetic field emanating from the man, a dangerous aura that seemed like it would swallow her whole if she got too close.

Xia Xiaonuan felt a chill and suddenly became nervous, her heart pounding wildly.

She could clearly sense his approach, feel his breath coming closer, a hand gripping her shoulder, and then a scorching hot pair of lips stopping just behind her ear.

But they paused there without touching her. This sensation was a hundred times more shocking than an actual touch.

Xia Xiaonuan held her breath, waiting for the volcano to erupt.

No matter what, she would not give in.

"Xiaonuan..." The man called her softly by her ear, his breath warm on her skin, "You smell so good..."

Xia Xiaonuan shuddered.

The man’s large hand stroked her cheek from behind, and a voice thick with suppressed anger said, "You’d better turn back to the person you used to be quickly. Otherwise, if you continue to test my patience, your fate might be very terrible."

His hand had a strong scent of blood, and she vaguely felt cold, sticky liquid flowing down her neck.

Xia Xiaonuan closed her eyes slightly, finally reaching her limit.

She grabbed the man’s big hand and flung it away.

Then she turned over and sat up sharply.

"Let me tell you the truth, I am not Xia Xiaonuan! I’m someone else! I’m not Xia Xiaonuan, the real Xia Xiaonuan is already dead! Do you understand? So, she can never come back!"

Nangong Yaoling was slightly taken aback.

Looking at the girl’s angry and anxious appearance, the coldness on his face inexplicably softened, even a slight smile flickering in his eyes as he asked with great interest, "Oh? Then who are you?"

"I..." She hesitated, wanting to say that she was also Xia Xiaonuan, as they shared the same name! But... saying that, he would certainly think she was lying.

But if she told the truth, would he believe it? What if he put her back in a mental hospital?
