Chapter 461 - 463 How to Face Him from Now On
"Qin Yi is also very guilty, he never expected something like this to happen... But it did happen, and even if you kill him, what’s the use?Last night she heard you got drunk, and was so afraid something would happen to you that her face turned white, and she rushed out the door.
He really cares about you... Last night, he told me that you got drunk and held onto him... He was really overwhelmed and couldn’t help but do that... Zhong Li, calm down, okay?"
Nangong Zhongli turned away from Xia Xiaonuan, looking out the window helplessly.
Despairingly, he said, "How am I supposed to face Shaochen in the future..."
"If someone truly loves you, even if you change, they won’t care..."
Xia Xiaonuan tried to comfort Nangong Zhongli with these words, but even she was not sure about it.
Would he really not care?
Every man hopes that the person he loves belongs entirely to him, right?
Xia Xiaonuan smiled bitterly. People are always like this, able to comfort others in times of trouble, but unable to deceive themselves when it’s their own situation.
Nangong Zhongli shook his head, "Yeah... Unfortunately, he doesn’t love me at all, so he wouldn’t care no matter what I become..."
"Zhongli..." Xia Xiaonuan grabbed her hand, "Besides love, you have family, you have friends, and so many people who care about you... It’s not like me..."
"You...?" Nangong Zhongli looked at her curiously, "Xiaonuan, don’t you have family too? Why would you say that?"
Xia Xiaonuan realized she misspoke and quickly corrected herself, "I mean... Unlike me, ever since I got married, I can’t be with my parents every day..."
She actually did have a family, but those "family" members were just Xia Xiaonuan’s parents, her sister, and herself, with whom she actually had no real connection.
She was originally an orphan and still does not know who her biological parents are...
Nangong Zhongli burst into laughter with tears in her eyes, "Xiaonuan, you’re so amusing. Are you homesick or something? Does my brother not allow you to visit home? You can visit anytime you want!"
Xia Xiaonuan smiled bitterly, "No... I’m just feeling a little sentimental... All right, you smiled, so don’t think about unhappy things anymore, okay?"
Nangong Zhongli nodded.
"Xiaonuan, thank you. People say I have a rather cold personality and I’m not good at making friends. I’ve always been alone all these years. Xiaonuan, ever since I met you, I’ve felt a special closeness. From now on, let’s be best friends who share everything with each other, shall we?" Nangong Zhongli asked, tears in her eyes.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at her sincere and trusting eyes. For a moment, her heart ached.
Best friends...
Could she and Nangong Zhongli really become best friends?
"Xiaonuan, you don’t want to?" Seeing her hesitation, Nangong Zhongli asked, a little disappointed.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly shook her head, "No... Of course, I want to... It’s just that..."
"Just what?"
"If one day you find out I’m not as good as you think... I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed..."
Nangong Zhongli smiled and suddenly hugged Xiaonuan, "Alright, I get it. Are you worried you’ll have arguments with my brother someday? Don’t worry, no matter what, I’ll always take your side! If my brother bullies you again, come to me anytime!"
Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes welled up with tears instantly, feeling a bit guilty, yet touched.
