Chapter 1495: Chapter 1512: Nangong Yaoling Helps Xiaonuan Get Dressed (1)

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart raced in an instant.

"Hmm... less than a month..." Xiaonuan pretended to say lightly.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes.

"I thought... Baby, let me take you to the doctor tomorrow! You weren’t feeling well in your stomach a few days ago, and I’ve noticed you haven’t been looking well lately..."

"No need." Xia Xiaonuan quickly said, "Recently... maybe I’ve been a bit tired, a few days of rest will be enough..."

Nangong Yaoling thought about how Xiaonuan had indeed suffered some grievances recently. If he’s not mistaken, Grandpa probably hasn’t been as good to her as he used to be.

After all, Zhong Li is Grandpa’s most beloved granddaughter over the years, no matter how big of a mistake she makes, Grandpa would never really blame her. But it’s different for Xiaonuan...

No matter how close, there’s always a layer of blood relation separating them.

He looked at Xiaonuan, feeling a slight ache in his heart.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"Xiaonuan, rest assured, no matter when, I will always be by your side. Even if the whole world betrays you, I will always protect you, never leaving or abandoning you."

Xia Xiaonuan felt the warmth on her forehead, and her heart surged instantly.

Even if the whole world betrays you, I will always protect you, never leaving or abandoning you...

Nangong Yaoling, I believe in what you say, but, what about me is worth you giving so much for? Over the years, you’ve already given enough for me. How could I bear to let you lose more happiness and joy for me?

You, who have been cherished since childhood, pampered by God, loved, surrounded by halos. You never knew what it feels like to be abandoned by your parents, nor how it feels to be deceived by the dearest ones.

So, you can be arrogant, you can fear nothing, you don’t care.

Because you have everything you should have. Everything you want, God has already placed before you long ago.

But if one day, you find that everything you have is fake, that the family love and happiness you’ve had since childhood are also fake...

You discover that you’re not so high above, but an illegitimate child of your father and another humble woman, and your mother, the woman who in your eyes is kind and noble, had once cruelly abandoned her two children and deceitfully tricked you for twenty years...

At that time, would you still be as firm as you are now? Facing the daughter of the person who killed your biological mother, could you still say those four words of never leaving or abandoning without caring about anything?

Wouldn’t you really hate me?

Xia Xiaonuan felt her heart bleeding; sometimes, she would rather Nangong Yaoling be a little bad to her, so she could leave at ease, without any attachment.

Yet the more he is so affectionate, so doting, the worse she feels in her heart.

Nevertheless, even though her heart is already in turmoil, she still tries to maintain outward calmness.

She reached out her hand and placed it on her abdomen: "You’ve made me a little hungry..."

"Not eating all day, it’s only natural that you’re hungry! Put on your clothes first..." Nangong Yaoling laughed while ruffling her long hair, turning around to find her clothes.

Xia Xiaonuan was about to take the clothes from his hand when she saw Nangong Yaoling dodge directly.

"What... are you doing?"

"Let me..."

Seeing him preparing to help her put on clothes, Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but find it both funny and exasperating.

"No need, I’m not a three-year-old child, I can put them on myself..."
