Chapter 552 - 554: Perish with Me
Xiao He nodded: "Alright... I’ll trust you one more time!"Yaoling Nangong heard the voice and sighed in relief.
He slowly walked towards them.
"Young Master!" The bodyguards in the corner saw him coming, their faces changed completely, shouting anxiously and excitedly.
"Shut up—! No one is allowed to come over!" Nangong Yaoling turned back and ordered fiercely.
"Don’t come over, it’s dangerous!" Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help saying, tears unknowingly streaming down her face.
If she died, it would be just one life. Why would he risk dying with her?
His life is much more valuable than hers!
This man, isn’t he quite smart? Is his brain broken now?
However, Nangong Yaoling seemed not to hear, resolutely walking towards them.
As soon as he approached, Xiao He pushed Xia Xiaonuan away and pressed the knife against Nangong Yaoling’s neck.
Xia Xiaonuan fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
She landed hard on the snow, but didn’t feel the pain, her heart trembling fiercely.
She turned around in disbelief and saw Nangong Yaoling also looking at her, his gaze warning her, calmly and coolly saying, "Xiaonuan, step back! Leave here!"
Lying on the ground, Xia Xiaonuan shook her head tearfully: "No..."
"Hurry up!" Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth, glaring at her and shouting loudly.
"Nangong Yaoling, judging by how you treat Mrs. Nangong, I knew I wasn’t wrong. Today, I just believe you are still a man of feelings and loyalty!" Xiao He said admiringly, then glanced at Xia Xiaonuan on the ground with a eerie smile, "Mrs. Nangong, since Young Master is willing to trade his life for yours, leave quickly! Otherwise, if I slip up, we’ll all die!"
"Go quickly!" Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth and said.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Xiao He, feeling that the person before her was a madman. Yet Nangong Yaoling was willing to entrust his life to this person!
Reluctantly, knowing that staying here was meaningless, she could only get up from the ground.
She could only slowly step back, tears blurring her vision, seeing blood dripping from Nangong Yaoling’s neck as he raised his hand, motionless.
Such a domineering and proud person, willing to fall under someone’s knife for her.
Xia Xiaonuan didn’t understand why he did this! They were already divorced, even if he couldn’t convince Xiao He to save her, if she died, outsiders wouldn’t say anything.
But... he just did it.
The wind cooled the tears on her face, her legs trembling as she stepped back.
Nangong Yaoling’s gaze was deep and complex as he watched her, she couldn’t understand him, maybe she never understood him at all.
Reaching the corner, Qin Yi rushed over and brought her to the side.
"Young Madam, are you alright?" Qin Yi asked.
"I’m fine..." Xia Xiaonuan shook her head.
Qin Yi said to the people beside him: "Take Young Madam to rest..."
"No..." Xia Xiaonuan shook her head: "I’m not leaving..." her gaze locked onto Nangong Yaoling’s direction.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xiao He and said: "Xiao He, who instructed you? I don’t believe you would betray me for no reason."
Xiao He suddenly tightened his grip: "Stop trying to trick me! Tell your people to leave quickly...otherwise, I’ll kill you immediately!"
Nangong Yaoling nodded and said to Qin Yi from afar: "Pull back!"
Qin Yi’s eyes flashed with something, and he ordered the people next to him to retreat.
