Chapter 1152 - 1172: What Is She Really Thinking?
Nangong Zhongli looked at him with his earnest demeanor and suddenly felt it was dull. She just reached out and adjusted the strands of hair at her temple."Of course not." She glanced around.
Seriously, she asked, "Tell me, is the necklace Xiaonuan wearing really a gift from the Crown Prince?"
Qin Yi’s stern face grew even more silent.
He stared at Nangong Zhongli for a few seconds.
Nangong Zhongli felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze, turned her face away, and said coldly, "I’m just asking casually. If you don’t want to say, forget it."
Qin Yi spoke, "That necklace was chosen by Young Master and me for the Young Madam. Young Master said it suited her very well, so we bought it."
A glimmer of surprise crossed Nangong Zhongli’s eyes.
Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince was really so romantic, even gifting Xiaonuan a necklace.
Originally, she liked this necklace very much, but thinking Xiaonuan also wore the same one, she felt a bit uncomfortable.
But no matter what, as long as what Xiaonuan wore was a gift from the Crown Prince, she felt relieved.
Moreover, Qin Yi did not seem to be lying.
Nangong Zhongli smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you." After saying this, she was about to walk away.
"Miss Zhong Li."
Qin Yi suddenly called out to her.
Nangong Zhongli turned around, "Is there anything else?"
"I just want to tell you that what belongs to you will eventually be yours. What doesn’t belong to you, forcing it will only make it lose its original meaning. I hope you can understand this."
Nangong Zhongli’s lips curved with a cold smile.
"I don’t need you to teach me big principles. What I want has always been rightfully mine." She lifted her chin and said somewhat arrogantly.
After saying this, she turned and quickly walked away.
Qin Yi watched the girl as she left, his lowered hand slowly clenching into a fist.
***********
Xia Xiaonuan sat on the chair, drinking a few sips of hot milk, feeling her stomach a bit more comfortable.
"Indeed, Mrs. Nangong, wherever she goes, she always has bodyguards and attendants with her. Such treatment is indeed not something ordinary people can enjoy."
Suddenly, a pleasant yet sarcastic male voice from above made Xiaonuan shiver slightly.
She looked up, meeting Liang Shaochen’s indifferent gaze.
Her lips moved slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable inside. Yet she smiled and said, "Nangong Yaoling is worried about my health, insisting on doing this."
Now that she was pregnant, Nangong Yaoling was extra careful.
If it were usual times, she wouldn’t like having several bodyguards surrounding her.
Liang Shaochen turned and glanced at the crowd ahead.
"Your necklace is very beautiful."
At this moment, in the corner, Nangong Zhongli’s gaze swept around.
Finally, her eyes fell on Liang Shaochen and Xia Xiaonuan.
Her eyes darkened, and she got up, walking behind the two of them.
"Thank you," Xia Xiaonuan responded with a light smile.
In such a setting, she didn’t want to have too much interaction with Liang Shaochen.
Because she knew, it would not benefit him at all.
But clearly, Liang Shaochen seemed to have something on his mind.
Standing beside her, although he didn’t look at her directly, he wouldn’t leave.
"Yes, things from Prince Nangong are just different."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"Didn’t you also give Zhong Li one? I think they’re the same."
"Is that so?" Liang Shaochen glanced at her.
"Is this necklace really a gift from the Crown Prince?"
His eyes held a mix of complexity and probing.
He couldn’t understand what Xia Xiaonuan was truly thinking.
