Chapter 554 - 556: Are You Trying to Ask Me for Something?
But seeing him and Jiang Xue so sweetly together made her feel uncomfortable.Perhaps, it was because he saved her.
Xia Xiaonuan thought complicatedly, turned around, and walked to the bedside to sit down.
Nangong Yaoling sent Jiang Xue away, his gaze fixed on the tightly closed bedroom door, and his eyes deepened.
He took steps to the bedroom door, pushed it open, and saw Xia Xiaonuan sitting at the bedside in a daze.
With her long black hair and delicate little face, she looked a bit haggard.
He took a breath and said, "You woke up, why didn’t you say anything? How are you feeling?"
His voice seemed very gentle, full of concern.
But Xia Xiaonuan thought of the way he looked at Jiang Xue just now, and in an instant, she felt she must be overthinking it.
She looked up at his handsome face.
She showed a slight smile and sincerely said, "I’m fine, thank you for saving me just now."
Nangong Yaoling’s gaze wandered over her face, and his whole person looked a bit dazed.
She rarely spoke to him so politely before, but clearly, she felt a bit of distance.
The corners of his lips curved into a cold arc, and his whole body became a bit stiff.
"No need to thank me, you were innocent in that situation, I would save anyone else too!"
He would save anyone else too?
So, he saved her just because of a sense of justice and responsibility!
Placing his own life on a pedestal of superhero-like justice, should she feel a bit of admiration for him?
To think this tyrant has such high ideological awareness!
"Still, I have to thank you!" Xia Xiaonuan raised her little face and seriously said, "There aren’t many good people as just and brave as you nowadays!"
Nangong Yaoling: "..."
His handsome face turned completely dark.
Righteous? Brave?
He had lived for so many years, experienced countless life-and-death struggles, and had long seen through the cold and warmth of human relationships.
If it had been a stranger or someone else, he wouldn’t have been so foolish to risk his life to save them!
But because the person in danger was her, he didn’t even think about the consequences and just wanted to ensure her safety at all costs.
Thinking about it now, if Qin Yi’s gun had been a second slower or his actions a little slower, he might have been blown to pieces or disabled.
But because it was her, his mind went blank, and he couldn’t think about anything else and just did it.
And now, she’s placing those ridiculous labels of righteousness and bravery on him!
Couldn’t she tell he said that on purpose?
The man’s exquisite face flashed a look of frustration; but in the next second, it was replaced by a chill.
"Thank you for your praise! I’m honored!"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"If there’s nothing else, have a good rest, I’ll go now!" Nangong Yaoling finished speaking and turned around.
"Wait a minute..." Xia Xiaonuan stood up, trying to stop him.
Nangong Yaoling slightly closed his eyes.
A flash of dazzling light appeared on his face.
His sexy lips slightly pursed.
"Is there anything else?" He didn’t turn around and deliberately asked in a cold tone.
Xia Xiaonuan took a step forward and said to him, "I came today to ask you about that report..."
The light on Nangong Yaoling’s face disappeared, replaced by a look of disappointment and bleakness.
He should have guessed, she wouldn’t care what he was thinking! Nor how much he cared about her!
"I’ll handle that matter. As for the negative rumors online, I’ve already had people do their best to manage them, but the best way to eliminate public opinion is time. This... we can only wait and see."
