The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 992 - 1012: Who Matters Most, Qiqi or Me?

Xia Xiaonuan quickly grabbed a towel, dampened it with cool water, and diligently helped him clean his face.Nangong Yaoling’s expression finally softened a bit.

Just at that moment, Nangong Yaoling’s gaze fell on the bag nearby.

The yarn inside immediately caught his attention.

Nangong Yaoling picked up a ball of yarn.

"Xia Xiaonuan... you... you’re not planning to knit a sweater for me, are you?" His eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Xia Xiaonuan was taken aback, quickly put down the towel.

Took the yarn ball from his hand, saying: "You’re overthinking... I don’t know how to knit a sweater at all!"

Nangong Yaoling’s eyes darkened: "Then why did you buy yarn?" he asked curiously.

"Well..." Xia Xiaonuan said a bit embarrassedly, "Although I can’t knit a sweater, I can knit a scarf..."

"Really?" Nangong Yaoling’s eyes flashed with joy as he looked at her, suppressing the excitement in his chest, intentionally asking calmly: "Are you really going to knit a scarf for me?"

"It’s for the baby..."

Nangong Yaoling’s expression froze.

"Xia Xiaonuan, the baby is so small, you might as well knit a cotton blanket for him!" He turned angrily, walking to the window.

As expected, with a baby, his status declined sharply. Not even half as important as the baby!

She’s buying shoes for the baby, knitting a scarf too. Completely ignoring him.

Xia Xiaonuan looked at his angry back, with a faint smile, walked behind him, and gently wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Alright... I was teasing you. I’m knitting for the baby, but I’ll knit for you too! Is that okay now?"

Nangong Yaoling’s cold expression gradually softened. Yet, he stiffly said: "No!"

"..."

"It should be that you knit for me, and also for the baby!" Nangong Yaoling clasped her hand, stubbornly said.

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

"I’ve never seen someone competing for affection with an unborn baby!" Xia Xiaonuan chuckled teasingly.

Nangong Yaoling turned around, grabbed her hand, letting her hold his waist again.

"Xiaonuan... I want to be the person you love the most... understand?" He gazed at her as he spoke.

Xia Xiaonuan laughed: "How are you so domineering!"

"I am domineering, I want your heart, only to keep me at the most important position... from now on, no one is allowed to surpass me in your heart! Not even the baby!"

Xia Xiaonuan tilted her head, thinking of something, smiled and asked: "Then am I in the most important position in your heart?"

"Of course!" Nangong Yaoling answered without hesitation.

Xia Xiaonuan stiffened slightly.

She couldn’t help but tease: "Then... between me and Qiqi, who is the most important in your heart?"

Nangong Yaoling was caught off guard by her question.

"Damn it!" he muttered angrily.

"What’s wrong?"

"If you didn’t mention her, I would’ve forgotten she existed!" Nangong Yaoling frowned.

Xia Xiaonuan laughed, resting her face against his chest.

Listening to his heartbeat, so close, so loud.

Entwined with her own heartbeat, like a long, distant chime.

Bit by bit, penetrating one’s heart.

Under the sunlight, the shadows of their embrace gradually stretched on the floor.

******

For three consecutive days, Xia Xiaonuan kept on knitting that red lace.

Nangong Yaoling sat on the bed, sometimes looking at faxed documents, sometimes working on the computer.

Xia Xiaonuan sat on the bed beside him, concentrating on her knitting.

Because the lace yarn is quite thin, it’s relatively difficult to knit, but fortunately, it’s not very bulky, so it was completed in just three days.
