Chapter 1412 - 1429: Why Does He Still Love Her

Chapter 1412: Chapter 1429: Why Does He Still Love Her

But why does Qin Yi love her... Knowing full well she is so evil, so malicious, why does he still love her!

"Qin Yi..." Her voice was hoarse as she murmured his name.

Qin Yi merely hung his head.

At this moment, Xia Xiaonuan watched this scene unfold, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

She had anticipated this would happen, but she had not expected it to be so painful and torturous when it truly occurred.

She looked at Nangong Yaoling’s struggle and anguish, feeling more sorrow than when she herself had suffered.

Nangong Yaoling flew into a rage because of what Qin Yi had said.

"Qin Yi, are you threatening me? Do you think your life is that precious? If you want to die, I can fulfill that wish for you right now!"

With these words, he suddenly pointed the handgun at Qin Yi.

Xia Xiaonuan shuddered.

This time, she had no choice but to step forward.

"Yaoling!" she called softly as she approached.

Then, with a thud, she knelt in front of Nangong Yaoling.

Nangong Yaoling’s tall frame quivered.

"Let her go. Everything is in the past, even if you kill her, we can’t bring our child back! Let her go!"

"Xiaonuan..." Nangong Yaoling softly called her name, his voice hoarse, looking at her with eyes full of heartache, gratitude, helplessness, yet an overwhelming tenderness.

The hand holding the handgun trembled slightly.

Tears streaming down her face, Xiaonuan whispered, "Please let her go! Yaoling, although she has erred, she doesn’t deserve to die. Since she has realized her mistakes, just let her go! We will have more children in the future, but Zhong Li... She has already suffered punishment... Perhaps this is all destiny! Yaoling, put the gun down."

Xiaonuan knew deep down that under these circumstances, even Nangong Jinlie couldn’t control Nangong Yaoling.

Only her words were something Nangong Yaoling would consider.

Yet what she said was precisely the voice hidden deep within him that even he didn’t realize.

He loved his child, but he also loved Nangong Zhongli.

After all, they were his family.

Qin Yi was right; she truly wished that this matter wouldn’t leave Yaoling with regret for the rest of his life, feeling sad and remorseful whenever he thought of Nangong Zhongli.

That would make her even more pained.

So... let all the pain be borne by her alone. Life is full of choices; when you choose one thing, you must let go of another.

And now, she is choosing to bury hatred with love and forgiveness.

Nangong Yaoling gazed at her deeply, his look profound like an ocean, and after a few seconds, the gun in his hand finally dropped weakly.

"Xiaonuan... stand up."

Nangong Zhongli watched this scene in shock, tears of emotion and regret flowing out violently.

She suddenly scrambled up from the ground, turning to Xia Xiaonuan.

"Xiaonuan, I know that nothing I say now can heal your soul’s wounds, but... I still hope you can forgive me. I once truly regarded you as my best friend, but it was me who personally destroyed it all.

I was too proud, too selfish, Xiaonuan, this time, I sincerely apologize..."

After speaking, Nangong Zhongli turned abruptly and hurried towards the rear, not waiting for anyone’s reaction.

No one was able to respond in time, and Xiaonuan was equally stunned, when suddenly Qin Yi cried out in terror.

"Zhongli—!"

However, a cold wind blew in through the window, Nangong Zhongli had already opened it and leaped out.
