Nangong Yaoling also noticed that Xia Xiaonuan's face was pale, and she seemed to be in great discomfort.
Initially, he wanted her to continue following him, but considering her special condition these past few days and her stomachache this morning,
he merely instructed the attendant nearby coldly, "You send the young mistress home."
"Yes, young master!" The attendant responded respectfully at once.
As Xia Xiaonuan walked out of the mall, breathing in the fresh air, she thought of the way Liang Shaochen looked at Nangong Zhongli, and of his smile. In an instant, tears welled up in her eyes.
The gentle smile she once thought belonged to her alone.
...
For several days in a row, Nangong Yaoling was nowhere to be seen. Xia Xiaonuan knew that he hadn't found satisfaction with her, so he must have gone to fool around with some other woman.
She couldn't understand how the former Xia Xiaonuan could have fallen for such a person.
