Chapter 666 - 678 This Despicable Woman
Nangong Yaoling stared at the data on the screen. Shortly after, he heard a gentle breathing sound beside him.He slightly lowered his head, his gaze falling on Xia Xiaonuan’s side profile.
In his dark pupils, a complex emotion flashed by. He reached out his hand and rubbed his temples.
Closing the notebook in his hand, he placed it to the side.
Gently closing his eyes.
After a while, Xia Xiaonuan moved slightly.
Feeling the faint light, she let out a light hum.
Nangong Yaoling almost fell asleep, suddenly opening his eyes.
Then he saw Xia Xiaonuan turn over, her warm little foot kicking him lightly.
He quickly woke up, instinctively picking up the notebook beside him.
Xia Xiaonuan slowly opened her eyes, just in time to see Nangong Yaoling continuing to stare at the screen with his handsome face.
She frowned slightly.
"That man, what time is it already, and he’s still working?"
"Why aren’t you going to sleep yet? You’re making it hard for me to sleep here." She raised an eyebrow, grumbling discontentedly.
Nangong Yaoling froze for a moment, his helpless gaze turning toward Xia Xiaonuan.
She had already gone back to sleep, quietly snoring.
The crucial point was, she wasn’t wearing anything at the moment, seeming to be somewhat hot and had pulled the duvet down to her chest.
Her snow-white arms, like lotus roots, were also exposed.
Nangong Yaoling’s lower abdomen tightened slightly.
His gaze fixed on her, watching for a long while before he awkwardly looked away.
The next moment, he looked at her again, stretched out his hand, grabbed her arm, and placed it under the blanket.
Then he reached out his hand, carefully adjusting the blanket to cover her properly.
It’s just that, when his fingertips unintentionally brushed against her skin during the process, his movements became very slow.
The whole person’s breath began to stir somewhat.
In her sleep, Xia Xiaonuan seemed to sense something, letting out a dissatisfied murmur.
Nangong Yaoling quickly withdrew his hand as if electrocuted.
Seeing her still sleeping sweetly, this annoying woman!
He growled inwardly, Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth, forcibly turning his gaze away.
Placing the notebook to the side, he turned over and got out of bed.
He turned off the light, and in the darkness, couldn’t help but look at her again, swallowing his saliva, reluctantly turning away, and left the bedroom.

The next morning, Xia Xiaonuan called Nangong Yaoling as soon as she got up.
"Hello... Xiaonuan?"
"Zhongli, where are you? How’s your health these days?" Xia Xiaonuan asked concernedly while sitting in front of the sofa.
"I’m at the hospital." Nangong Zhongli said with a bitter smile.
"What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you’re...!" Xia Xiaonuan opened her eyes wide, worried that she might have gone to abort the child alone.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine. The child... is still here." Nangong Zhongli knew what she was worried about and smiled.
Xia Xiaonuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Nangong Zhongli briefly told her what happened last night.
Xia Xiaonuan heard that Liang Shaochen had been released, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Zhongli, I’ll come to the hospital to see you later." She hung up after finishing speaking.
******
Nangong Yaoling sat at his desk.
After thinking for a while, he finally picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.
"It’s me... How is Liang Shaochen?" Xia Xiaonuan had been urging him to release her. Although he was unwilling in his heart, after all, there was no point in keeping him locked up.
He couldn’t keep him locked up forever, nor let Xia Xiaonuan think he didn’t keep his promises.
Might as well release him for peace of mind.
