Chapter 1546: Chapter 1562: Worried About That Woman (2)

But neither he nor Qin Yi expected that the loyalty of their subordinates had surpassed everything. When they learned he was in danger, they selflessly sacrificed themselves.

Therefore, in a sense, the deaths of those few people were actually unnecessary.

Although saying so is somewhat cruel and heartless, he must admit this. Because when the sharks rushed to attack them, Qin Yi had no choice but to order the ship to turn around and chase the sharks.

So by the time he aimed correctly, a few of his subordinates had already been bitten to death.

This was a completely unexpected outcome, heart-wrenching yet touching.

However, Nangong Yaoling never blamed Xiaonuan for their deaths. If there was any self-reproach, it was only for his own lack of reason.

He should have believed that his subordinates could successfully rescue Xiaonuan.

What he could do now was to give those subordinates a proper burial and then strive to compensate their families.

But regarding Xia Xiaonuan, what truly enraged him was her disregard for her life. What truly angered him was her cruelty in front of him, destroying her own life.

This pained him far more than her taking a knife to his heart.

So when he woke up, sadness was replaced by uncontrollable anger. He had to let her understand that she had done something wrong. Otherwise, he feared such things would happen again. He worried that one day he wouldn’t be able to protect her in time, and she would get hurt for real.

He ignored her, didn’t want to see her, and this was the main reason.

Another reason was that he had to account to the brothers who were still alive. To show where his heart lay. Otherwise, if he focused only on his thoughts and feelings, acting as if nothing happened with Xiaonuan, then those brothers of his would become disheartened by it.

He couldn’t do that, not out of fear of losing some brothers. The Nangong Family’s subordinates were worldwide, and they even had their own army in Europe. Bodyguards were never scarce each year.

But he worried about Xiaonuan. He couldn’t let some people harbor hatred towards her, exposing her to unforeseen risks.

Even though he believed in the loyalty of his subordinates, after all, Xiaonuan was not him, and his men wouldn’t unconditionally treat another woman as they did him.

So, he deliberately neglected her, hoping that maybe some of his subordinates would thus lose their resentment towards her and start feeling sympathy for her instead.

Only this way could she escape unscathed from this accident.

Nangong Yaoling watched the video of the servant bringing out some leftovers from the bedroom, and he couldn’t help but rub his forehead. ℯℯ𝑙.

A glimmer of relief flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, no matter what, she ate at least a little something.

At this moment, he so wanted to see what she was doing in the bedroom, to see her sleeping face, but there was no camera in the bedroom.

If he could see her face on the screen, perhaps he wouldn’t be able to resist kissing the laptop screen.

Because his neglect towards her made him feel guilty.

He always believed that Xiaonuan wouldn’t leave him without a reason. They had been through so much, she wasn’t as heartless as she claimed to be.

She was a kind and pitiable woman. Following him, she had endured a lot of suffering and bore pressures ordinary people would never have to. He always understood this.
