Chapter 1551: Chapter 1568: Clash Erupts (Part 1)

Xiaonuan felt a sudden warmth on her leg and instinctively stepped back.

Nangong Yaoling’s brow twitched.

He saw Xiaonuan’s calf got scalded, his body swayed slightly, almost flipping off the bed.

Liang Yuzhu immediately turned around, looking at Nangong Yaoling with a face full of grievance, "Yaoling, I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to. I accidentally knocked over your stuff. So, you already had soup... If I had known earlier, I would’ve..."

"It’s fine." Before Nangong Yaoling could speak, Xiaonuan had already turned around and smiled at Liang Yuzhu, "Anyway, whichever soup you drink, it’s all the same. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going."

With that, Xiaonuan turned and left. No wonder he didn’t want to drink the soup she made; someone had already given him soup.

She was truly foolish. Despite feeling unwell and being pregnant, she spent hours making soup for him, yet he seemed to find even a glance unnecessary; whereas the soup made by someone else’s chef, he would praise endlessly.

Xiaonuan’s face was pale. Even though she felt greatly humiliated, she still tried to force a smile. She didn’t want to face him with a crying face, that would make her truly seem like a joke.

He misunderstood her, he was angry with her, she could understand; but seeing him with another woman, she realized she couldn’t accept it no matter what.

She suddenly remembered what Yang Zi’er had said, that many people liked Nangong Yaoling, and she wouldn’t be the best, nor the most perfect. Maybe anyone else would have better qualifications.

And what could she really offer him?

Love? How elusive it is, it might drive you to die willingly today, and turn you into enemies tomorrow.

She extended her hand, placing it on her abdomen.

Now, what truly belonged to her, perhaps, was only the child in her womb.

She thought bitterly.

Just as she was about to reach the door, Liang Yuzhu suddenly took a few steps forward, loudly addressing her, "Xiaonuan, it was you who sent the soup! I’m really sorry, why didn’t you say so sooner? If I had known you sent the soup, I wouldn’t have brought mine!"

Xia Xiaonuan stopped, the corner of her lips curving into a cold smile.

"Oh, right... I wondered why the soup tasted so familiar, turns out it’s the same as what you just sent my brother, no wonder..." she said with deep meaning.

Xia Xiaonuan turned around, speechless and choking, looking at Liang Yuzhu.

This woman, does she draft her lies before speaking?

She was just about to retort, but her gaze landed on Nangong Yaoling’s face, seeing him looking at her with questioning and angry eyes, his expression already very unpleasant.

Her lips quivered slightly, suddenly she felt powerless to explain anything.

She just coldly glanced at Liang Yuzhu and turned to walk out.

Before long, Liang Yuzhu’s voice came from the ward, "Yaoling, today’s soup I asked the chef to add several ingredients, all beneficial to the body, you must drink more..."

Xiaonuan walked alone towards the hospital’s main gate.

She did not notice the pedestrians ahead, resulting in an accidental bump into someone ahead.

"Sorry..." she quickly apologized, lifting her eyes.

"What’s wrong with you, walking without watching..." the other party complained discontentedly.

At this point, both raised their eyes simultaneously, both stunned.

"It’s you? You... why are you here?" Lan Jinqin, while rubbing her shoulder, looked at Xia Xiaonuan with wide eyes and discontentedly questioned her.
