Chapter 1440: Chapter 1457: Kiss You Until the End of Time 6

Xiaonuan closed her eyes.

Suddenly, there was a faint brightness before her eyes. She opened them, only to realize that a street lamp below had suddenly lit up.

Yet she felt as if the lamp in her heart, after enduring so much hardship, was at constant risk of being extinguished.

She turned over, got out of bed, walked to the window, and pulled aside the sheer curtain, revealing the city nightscape adorned with illuminated lights.

With one hand on the window drape, she felt her entire heart faltering somewhat.

Suddenly, she took a deep breath, turned, approached the wardrobe, took out some clothes, and started dressing.

She couldn’t just keep waiting like this; she didn’t want Nangong Yaoling to endure the pain alone.

However, once she dressed, quickly washed her face, and prepared everything to go downstairs, her phone rang.

It was Nangong Yaoling.

Her heart jolted, and she hurriedly answered the call.

"Yaoling? How is Grandpa?" she asked urgently.

"Don’t worry, Grandpa’s heart attack came sudden, but fortunately the rescue was timely, and he’s no longer in danger. I’m calling to reassure you, I’m keeping him company for a while, and will return once he’s asleep."

Xiaonuan numbly nodded.

Feeling both relieved and conflicted at heart.

"If you’re hungry, go ahead and have dinner, you don’t need to wait for me."

"Okay, I understand." Xiaonuan hung up the phone somewhat dazedly.

She had really been afraid just now; if something had happened to Nangong Jinlie, would she bear the guilt on her conscience forever?

But, hearing that Nangong Jinlie was rescued and Nangong Yaoling was by his side, she felt a bitter sorrow in her heart.

She recalled that when she left, Nangong Jinlie seemed a bit unwell in the heart, but the butler had given him medication, and she hurriedly left.

For several hours, if Nangong Jinlie had gone to the hospital at that time, it’s clear that the call wouldn’t have come so late.

Yet, if Nangong Jinlie only had the heart attack at night, why was everything fine while she was there, and suddenly after she left, it happened at night?

Or was it because this timing coincided perfectly with Nangong Yaoling leaving the office after work? So...

Xia Xiaonuan’s mind was a mess, ashamed of suspecting others based on her own perspectives, yet unable to stop herself from thinking.

Because Nangong Jinlie seemed to have too profound a mind, she felt like a blank page before that man.

She knew she simply couldn’t contend with him.

Moreover, in his hands, he held an ace.

If today was merely a show of strength, who knows what tricks might appear in the future.

Xiaonuan pressed her hand against her forehead.

At this moment, a servant came up to knock on the door.

"Young Madam, dinner is ready, would you like to eat now?"

Xiaonuan was slightly startled and quickly called out towards the door, "I know, I’m not hungry yet, I’ll wait for Young Master’s return!"

"Okay, Young Madam."

The servant finished speaking, and then footsteps retreating could be heard.

Xia Xiaonuan turned around, walked to the bed, and lay back down.

She stared at the ceiling, thinking for a long time.

Thinking about what Nangong Yaoling had just told her, words that were both tender and deeply penetrating.

Her heart fluttered repeatedly, yet it was as if she suddenly donned armor, biting her lip silently.

She would not compromise just like this, no, absolutely not. Perhaps... she could still think of a way. Yes, even if Nangong Jinlie disagrees, she remembers Mrs. Nangong and the Old Master being very fond of her as their daughter-in-law.
