Chapter 1382: Chapter 1399: Nangong Yaoling Discovers the Truth

"Young Master, the bag is placed here."

"Alright, you may leave."

"Yes." The butler promptly turned and left.

Nangong Yaoling stood up and walked to the sofa.

Thinking back to the café where Shaochen handed Xiaonuan that document.

His pupils slightly contracted, he frowned, opened Xia Xiaonuan’s bag, reached in, and took out that document.

He intentionally made Xiaonuan drunk. First, because he genuinely wanted to see what she was up to, and second, because she had been sleeping poorly, nearly insomniac all night; she truly needed a good rest.

He was very worried about her.

Looking at the information on the document, Nangong Yaoling didn’t seem too surprised.

Because a few days ago, Qin Yi had already told him that Xia Xiaonuan had visited this jewelry company.

Nangong Yaoling recalled Xiaonuan’s expression upon learning about Manager An’s accident.

So he guessed An Ya’s incident must be related to this matter.

However, he didn’t understand why Xiaonuan was investigating this necklace?

He looked at the client information on top.

Shaochen’s assistant had once bought the necklace, presumably as a gift for Zhongli.

But... why had Nangong Zhongli also bought this necklace?

If Shaochen bought the necklace to give to Zhongli, then... why would Zhongli need to buy another necklace?

Nangong Yaoling’s expression turned somewhat somber.

Is this matter related to Nangong Zhongli as well?

His hand clenched into a fist on his knee, his gaze turned toward Xiaonuan, who was sleeping on the bed.

She wasn’t sleeping peacefully, occasionally furrowing her brows, sometimes lightly trembling.

What could be making her so restless?

What is she so concerned about...

Why did Nangong Zhongli buy that necklace? If Shaochen bought the necklace under Zhongli’s name to give it to her, then he wouldn’t need to buy another necklace.

But if he didn’t buy the necklace for Zhongli, Zhongli wouldn’t say the necklace was a gift from Shaochen.

So, if Shaochen bought two identical necklaces, then the only answer is that the other was given to someone else.

And that someone... who could it be?

Nangong Yaoling looked at Xiaonuan on the bed, the air faintly carried a hint of red wine aroma and her slight fragrance.

He suddenly stood up and walked to the bed.

He gently searched through the drawer, and soon, he found that necklace at the bottom layer.

He looked at a particular number on the necklace clasp.

It was the necklace he had given her.

The necklace appeared brand new, with no signs of being worn.

Nangong Yaoling’s pupils contracted instantly, his expression turned quite unpleasant.

Xiaonuan... she had never worn the necklace he gave her?

Then the necklace she used to wear...

Nangong Yaoling got up and searched the room again.

However, after searching around, he found nothing.

To avoid waking Xiaonuan, he had no choice but to give up.

Returning to the sofa, he held the necklace box in his hand.

Suddenly, he thought of something and opened Xia Xiaonuan’s beige Chanel leather bag next to him.

Sure enough, he found a jewelry box inside.

Opened it.

An identical necklace appeared before him...

******

Nangong Zhongli sat by the bed, looking at Nangong Jinlie lying on the bed, slightly lowered his head.

Nangong Jinlie’s complexion appeared somewhat pale, but his spirit seemed alright.

His eyes, marked by the passage of time, sharply focused on Nangong Zhongli.

Suddenly, he sighed helplessly.

"Butler, get someone to book two tickets to return home."
