Chapter 723 - 734 Why Are You So Cold
Then her gaze collided with Xia Xiaonuan’s.In that instant, her pupils were deep and complex, with a faint hint of unease that was barely perceptible.
Jiang Xue followed Nangong Yaoling’s gaze and saw Xia Xiaonuan.
A flash of hatred passed through her eyes, but she quickly stood up and said, "Xiaonuan, you’re here, why don’t you come in?"
She acted as if she was the hostess here.
And she, just an outsider coming to visit Nangong Yaoling.
Xia Xiaonuan clenched her fists.
She walked to the bedside and placed the lunch box on the table.
"You go ahead and eat, Yun made this meal." Xia Xiaonuan said stiffly, glanced at Nangong Yaoling, and turned to leave.
Jiang Xue said sarcastically, "Xiaonuan, why don’t you stay a while longer? Yaoling is hurt like this, you should take care of him, right?"
"Aren’t you already here?" Xia Xiaonuan smiled at Jiang Xue, "Or do you want me to stay and take care of him, and you get lost right now?"
Jiang Xue gritted her teeth in anger and glared fiercely at Xia Xiaonuan, then immediately turned around and said, "Yaoling, that’s not what I meant..."
Nangong Yaoling observed their expressions and let his gaze fall on Xia Xiaonuan’s face.
She wore sunglasses, making it hard to see her expression.
This woman clearly cared about him, so why did she act so indifferent?
"Xia Xiaonuan, how can you speak to a guest like that? She came with good intentions to see me."
"Exactly, Xia Xiaonuan, how can you be so cold and heartless? You..." Jiang Xue’s words trailed off as her expression changed.
It suddenly dawned on her that Nangong Yaoling had referred to her as "guest!"
Such a harsh term, ostensibly directed at Xia Xiaonuan, but in reality, it seemed to imply she was the unwanted outsider.
Jiang Xue’s face turned a bit pale.
Xia Xiaonuan laughed, "It’s true, I shouldn’t have been so impolite to a guest. But Miss Jiang, you are very enthusiastic, making chicken soup for our Yaoling yourself, thank you very much."
Jiang Xue was furious.
She glared at Xia Xiaonuan as if she could bore a hole through her.
Wearing sunglasses, Xia Xiaonuan wasn’t afraid of her glare at all.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xia Xiaonuan and a flash of complexity appeared in his eyes.
"You’re welcome, I made the soup for Yaoling as long as he likes it." Jiang Xue, though angry, did not dare to behave presumptuously in front of Nangong Yaoling, so she had to maintain her surface composure, even though she was already about to lose her mind.
She turned to look at Nangong Yaoling, "Crown Prince, I’ll leave now, I’ll visit you another day."
"Okay." Nangong Yaoling replied with a smile and then called to the people outside, "Escort Miss Jiang out."
"Yes, Young Master," Wu Da entered and said respectfully.
"Miss Jiang, please."
Seeing this, Xia Xiaonuan quickly stepped forward, picked up the empty thermal lunchbox nearby, "Miss Jiang, the soup is finished, don’t forget to take the lunchbox."
Jiang Xue looked at the lunchbox in Xia Xiaonuan’s hand, unsure whether to take it or not.
In the end, she snatched it angrily, turned around and stormed out of the door in high heels with a "click-clack" sound.
Xia Xiaonuan watched Jiang Xue’s departing figure with a cold smile at the corner of her mouth.
At that moment, a deep voice behind her said, "You’ve already driven her away, stop staring." The tone was clearly tinged with sarcasm.
Xia Xiaonuan turned her head and looked coldly at Nangong Yaoling.
"If you’re reluctant, I can call her back."
