Chapter 993 - 1013: How Many Things Are You Hiding From Me
Because the lace thread is quite thin, it is more difficult to weave, but fortunately, it’s not too thick, so it only took three days to finish weaving.Xia Xiaonuan placed the woven lace brocade in front of Nangong Yaoling.
Nangong Yaoling was slightly taken aback.
He picked up the intricately beautiful dark red lace.
"What is this?" he asked as he looked at her.
Xia Xiaonuan didn’t say anything, just untied the red ribbon on him, then gently tied the lace around his neck. She then had him slowly thread his elbows through it.
Mission accomplished.
Nangong Yaoling looked at Xia Xiaonuan in disbelief, staring at the lace band in front of him for a long time before he finally opened his mouth: "Have you been weaving this thing day and night these past few days?
While she was weaving, he was also working, and sometimes when he got close, she would quickly hide it. She said it couldn’t be seen before it was finished.
To cooperate with her, he also actively refrained from looking.
He thought she was making a scarf, not expecting that after so much effort, she only made this delicate strip of lace.
However, its beauty was far more exquisite than a scarf.
"What? Isn’t it well made? I only learned this when I was very young in the orphanage, and over the years, I’ve somewhat forgotten. But... luckily, I can still weave it now."
Nangong Yaoling touched the lace with his fingertips, his lips curling slightly.
But suddenly, his expression froze.
He abruptly lifted his eyes and looked at Xia Xiaonuan curiously.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at him puzzled: "What’s wrong?"
"Xiaonuan, did you just say, when you were very young, in an orphanage?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaonuan’s face slightly changed color.
What should she do... she accidentally let it slip!
"Xiaonuan... did I hear wrong? You did say that you were at an orphanage when you were little? I remember you grew up in the Xia Family, when did you go to an orphanage?"
Xia Xiaonuan’s heart pounded.
Should she tell Nangong Yaoling the truth?
The image of Jiang Xue appeared in her mind.
If Nangong Yaoling knew, Jiang Xue had deceived him... and let him always believe she was Qiqi, investing so much emotion.
If Nangong Yaoling knew about this, I’m afraid, it would be another stormy scene!
She thought of Situ Yan’s fate, thought of Fang Wan’s fate, thought of Fang Yi’s fate, and her heart trembled bit by bit.
No... she’s now pregnant, she can’t make the killings continue.
Although those people were not killed by her, their deaths are indirectly related to her...
She couldn’t let Nangong Yaoling kill Jiang Xue again.
If so, wouldn’t her hands have more blood on them?
She didn’t want to continue like this anymore.
Everything should have ended originally.
"Xiaonuan..." Her chin was pinched.
Nangong Yaoling stared at her: "Tell me, what exactly is going on!"
Xia Xiaonuan regained her senses.
She tried to calm her emotions, smiling as she said, "I did just say that... I used to say that I volunteered at the orphanage, that’s where I learned it back then."
Nangong Yaoling’s handsome brows furrowed slightly.
As if analyzing the authenticity of Xia Xiaonuan’s words, he vaguely remembered that once in the KTV, Xiaonuan did say such things.
Because she sang nursery rhymes and also said she learned it while volunteering at the orphanage.
His expression softened somewhat, but he still asked, "How long did you volunteer for? Why haven’t you mentioned it before?"
"Not long... it was while I was in middle school, I would go on weekends."
