Chapter 457 - 459: I Got the Upper Hand on Nangong Zhongli 2
Originally, she still felt a bit sleepy. But upon seeing that handsome, ice-cold face, she felt like she owed him money. She couldn’t help but perk up.She didn’t get up, instead she looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Nangong Yaoling’s thin lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he just turned around with a stern face and walked out of the room.
Xia Xiaonuan felt perplexed.
But then she thought, Nangong Yaoling probably still doesn’t know their divorce agreement is fake, right?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm.
When Nangong Yaoling went downstairs, the maids informed him that breakfast was ready.
He paused for a moment, "I’m not eating."
Then he turned and left.
The maid watched the Young Master leave, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes.
What on earth is happening between the Young Master and the Young Mistress?
Seeing the Young Master unhappy, every one of them felt miserable.
Xia Xiaonuan heard the sound of the car starting downstairs and prepared to get up.
After tidying up, she headed to the set.
Just after washing, she heard voices from downstairs.
"Mr. Qin, why are you only arriving now? Don’t tell me you overslept? Young Master has already gone to the company!" The young maid said with a smile. Usually, although Mr. Qin appeared cold, he was polite to everyone, making him well-liked among the servants.
After all, Young Master is noble and unapproachable, but everyone always wanted to chat more with Mr. Qin.
Qin Yi wasn’t in the mood to chat, feeling somewhat anxious, "Has the Young Mistress gotten up yet?"
"Hmm? It seems... she has gotten up."
Hearing the voice, Xia Xiaonuan thought of something and hurried downstairs.
"Qin Yi, what’s happening?" Xia Xiaonuan asked curiously while patting her face.
Seeing her, Qin Yi looked as if he had seen a savior.
"Young Mistress, this time... You must save me!" Qin Yi rushed forward, grabbing Xia Xiaonuan’s arm, speaking excitedly.
Xia Xiaonuan was thoroughly bewildered. Qin Yi had never been so flustered before.
Usually, when he was by the Young Master’s side, no matter how big the issue, he wouldn’t blink an eye.
Even if the sky fell, he’d quietly rush to the Young Master’s side, protecting him.
Just like yesterday, when Jiang Xue was being arrogant in front of her, he stepped forward to resolve it, making Jiang Xue blush with anger.
"What’s wrong? Did something happen to Zhong Li?" Xia Xiaonuan asked quickly.
Yesterday, Qin Yi had called her saying that he found Zhong Li and would protect her, which put her at ease.
"Yes... no... it’s not..." Qin Yi stammered.
"Is it or isn’t it?"
"Young Mistress... Can we talk privately?" Qin Yi asked.
Xia Xiaonuan nodded.
In Nangong Yaoling’s study.
Qin Yi recounted the events of last night to Xia Xiaonuan in detail.
Xia Xiaonuan jumped out of her chair in disbelief.
"Are you saying? Last night you... you slept with Nangong Zhongli?" Xia Xiaonuan felt like this was the most shocking news she had heard since Qiqi’s birth.
With a "thud," Qin Yi kneeled on the floor.
"Young Mistress... This time, only you can help me! If Young Master finds out about this, he will never forgive me... And Miss Zhong Li... I... I really didn’t mean to..."
Xia Xiaonuan felt mixed emotions between laughing and crying.
Seeing Qin Yi, he looked like he was about to cry.
She hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, "Stand up and speak first..."
Qin Yi stood there, head hanging, completely devoid of his usual soldier demeanor.
Despite having followed Nangong Yaoling through numerous trials and tribulations over the years, when it came to matters involving women, he turned into a coward!
