Chapter 1497: Chapter 1514: I Think You’re Pitiful

"Baby..."

"Hmm..." Xiaonuan’s whole body stiffened, feeling a shiver of tingling heat behind her ear.

She knew he wouldn’t let her go this easily...

"I... I really can’t..." she struggled hard.

But the other person held her hand, once again placing it on a certain part of his body...

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

Twenty minutes later.

Xia Xiaonuan looked up at the man above her in complete despair.

"My hand is getting sore..."

"Let me help you..." He held her hand, continuing the movement.

After another ten minutes, Xiaonuan felt as if her hand was no longer her own, only mechanically following his movement.

He finally let out a heavy breath, fully releasing.

Xiaonuan pushed him away and immediately ran to the bathroom.

When she turned around after washing her hands, Nangong Yaoling was standing at the door, having already pulled up his pants, looking at her leisurely with a faintly mischievous smile in his eyes.

"Xiaonuan, come out with me tomorrow."

Xiaonuan must be under too much pressure lately, which is why she didn’t want to share a room with him.

If he took her out for a trip, relaxed her mind a bit, perhaps she’d be happier.

Moreover, he had another plan in mind.

For some reason, when he said those words, Xiaonuan instinctively thought of that thing.

What if he still wanted to be with her when they went out?

Ah... she had a way.

Xiaonuan thought of something and couldn’t help but smile.

Then she looked at him and said, "Okay..."

******

The next day, Nangong Yaoling arranged for someone to book the plane tickets early in the morning.

Since he was worried Xiaonuan might be too tired, he planned to take her around domestically for a few days, have a rest, and then travel abroad.

Xia Xiaonuan agreed.

Nangong Yaoling went to the company, and Xiaonuan dialed a phone number.

Half an hour later, she appeared in a private room at a teahouse.

Nangong Jinlie sat inside the room expressionlessly, with Mr. He standing beside him.

"I’m glad you could come to your senses so quickly," Nangong Jinlie started.

The air was filled with a subtle scent of tea, as the sunlight filtered through the vines in front of the tea room window, casting a mottled pattern on the table.

Xia Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Jinlie’s confident and somewhat arrogant expression, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Sometimes, she felt that in certain aspects, Nangong Yaoling was still a bit like his grandfather.

The same pride, the same arrogance.

Once he made up his mind, it was difficult for others to change it.

But she didn’t know, had Nangong Jinlie once loved a woman deeply? Just like Nangong Yaoling loved her?

"Grandpa, before I answer you, can I ask you a question?"

"Speak."

"Have you ever loved someone deeply? Can you understand what it’s like to be separated from someone you love deeply?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jinlie’s expression changed.

A naïve and innocent smile appeared in his mind.

When the girl smiled, there were two dimples, smiling at him among a field of canola flowers.

Her features had gradually faded over the years, but that smile remained like an imprint on his heart.

Every time he remembered, it was a faint pain.

His face gradually turned pale, yet he remained indifferent and harsh, saying, "As a man, if he wants to achieve great things, he shouldn’t be burdened by love. Anything related to love will become a stumbling block to his success."

Xia Xiaonuan observed his somewhat moved gaze and his still resolute expression.

Suddenly, she laughed out loud.
