Chapter 1081: Chapter 1100: He’s Asking for Too Much

Nangong Yaoling didn’t know what was wrong with himself.

Was it because Xia Xiaonuan was too sensible? So sensible that he felt something was missing.

Yes, what he once hated most was women’s jealousy and fighting.

However, now, he longed for Xia Xiaonuan to give him that feeling, rather than seeing him being surrounded by another woman without any reaction.

Even though she clearly knew that the woman was fake, she didn’t say it out loud.

Nangong Yaoling rested his hand on his forehead.

Perhaps he was asking for too much!

But there were some things he had to do!

He thought about it and dialed the phone.

What Nangong Yaoling didn’t know was that Xia Xiaonuan had her own thoughts.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell Nangong Yaoling the truth, nor that she wasn’t angry and jealous.

It was because she had long known that Jiang Xue was fake, and the person he truly cared about was actually her.

So how could she compete with herself?

Originally, she was already satisfied with everything she had now and didn’t want to stir up any more trouble. She already had several lives on her conscience.

Now pregnant, she really didn’t want to create more issues.

Moreover, even if she did know about this matter, not caring about Jiang Xue’s fate, she couldn’t directly tell Nangong Yaoling herself.

After all, Nangong Yaoling once thought Jiang Xue was Qiqi and had invested feelings.

If she directly said it out loud, would it make him feel ashamed? Aren’t men most concerned about their pride?

In her heart, Xia Xiaonuan felt extremely conflicted, especially now that Xia Xinmei appeared.

She thought about it and finally decided to visit the Xia Family herself.

Some things should have a resolution.

In the evening, Xia Xiaonuan tidied up and was about to leave.

But unexpectedly, her phone rang.

It was Nangong Yaoling.

"Xiaonuan, I’m at the Xia Family. I’ll have Qin Yi pick you up later."

Xia Xiaonuan was slightly startled.

"You... you went to the Xia Family?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I’ll be right there." Xia Xiaonuan’s heart raced. Did Nangong Yaoling find out something? Why did he suddenly go to the Xia Family?

She bit her lower lip. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Qin Yi had already entered from outside.

"Young Lady, let’s go."

Xia Xiaonuan nodded at Qin Yi, who was dressed in black leather and wearing black gloves.

In the quiet night, the entire Xia Family villa was brightly lit.

As Xia Xiaonuan followed Qin Yi through the door, she heard a voice pleading. The door was slightly ajar, and the two entered without making a sound.

"Young Master... I’m innocent, I really didn’t, I can swear to the heavens..."

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart trembled slightly.

In the living room, Nangong Yaoling sat on the sofa, and opposite him stood Xia Zhennan with a terrified expression.

Nangong Yaoling slightly raised his eyes, his gaze meeting hers.

His lips curved into a faint, ambiguous smile, and he snapped his fingers towards the sky.

At that moment, two bodyguards brought the housekeeper out from inside.

As soon as the housekeeper saw Xia Zhennan, he immediately averted his gaze, fell to his knees in front of Nangong Yaoling with a thud.

"Crown Prince, it was all the master’s doing! He had me ruin the lady’s car, causing her to have an accident. He had me find people to kidnap her at Qi Yue’s house to get the contract; he even had me transfer his money overseas. They’re planning to escape as a family..."

"Housekeeper Li, you... you actually betrayed me!"
