Chapter 1601: Chapter 1618: Nangong Yaoling Is Just Too Anxious 2

Seeing Nangong Yaoling, Xia Ruize couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It’s him...

"You... why are you here?" Xiaonuan asked nervously.

Nangong Yaoling glanced at Xia Ruize behind Xiaonuan, and the little fellow immediately hid behind her alertly.

He frowned slightly, looking a bit displeased at Xia Xiaonuan, saying: "... I’m here to get my clothes."

Xia Xiaonuan said helplessly: "Your clothes are still at the dry cleaner’s, it’ll take a few days before they can be returned."

It’s only been three days, normally it takes about a week if you’re not in a hurry.

Nangong Yaoling was being quite impatient!

He spoke calmly: "That piece of clothing is very important to me."

So... he just couldn’t feel at ease and kept wanting to come check...

"I can see that." Xiaonuan said with a forced smile, "I didn’t expect President Nangong to be so particular about a piece of clothing. Rest assured, I won’t ruin it."

She probably guessed right; it must have been given by some woman!

She thought to herself.

For some reason, after her words, Nangong Yaoling’s expression seemed to turn a bit unpleasant.

She couldn’t care less about him and just said: "If you don’t have anything else, I still need to cook for the kid and head back upstairs. When the clothes are back, I will call you."

"I’ve never seen someone staying in a hotel but still needing to go to the market. Can’t he find you a place to stay?" Nangong Yaoling asked sarcastically.

Xia Xiaonuan was slightly stunned by the words and instinctively looked down at Casey.

The little guy seemed to understand her meaning and stayed hidden behind her, seemingly reluctant to let Nangong Yaoling see him. But she knew, in front of outsiders before, he was never shy.

And today... her son was being so considerate.

Xiaonuan was moved by the thought and, smiling, she reached out to push Casey’s little head back in.

Xia Ruize rubbed his aching forehead, whined, "Mummy’s too fierce..."

"..." She really didn’t know how to explain this issue to Nangong Yaoling and didn’t want to. Because the answer was right on him.

"We’re fine like this." Xiaonuan said, turning around and holding Xia Ruize in her arms.

"I’m heading upstairs." Xiaonuan turned and walked towards the hotel.

Nangong Yaoling closed his eyes and opened them again.

His gaze fell on a rental newspaper in Xiaonuan’s other hand.

His pupils slightly narrowed.

Is she really married? Or... does she not have a husband at all?

Watching the figure walking away, Nangong Yaoling turned, opened the car door, and got in.

The aroma of meals filled the air.

"Xia Ruize, Mummy’s asking you, why did you hide behind me when we were outside earlier?" At the dining table, Xia Xiaonuan picked some food for Casey and curiously asked her son.

From a young age, Xia Ruize was always organized, and even his eating posture appeared elegant.

This was something Xiaonuan never consciously taught him, but he seemed to have inherited someone’s excellent traditions, as Xia Ruize exuded a noble aura since childhood.

In this aspect, Xiaonuan felt she had to be thankful to Nangong Yaoling.

As Xia Ruize ate braised pork, he looked up at Xia Xiaonuan.

Then he casually said: "Because Mummy didn’t want him to see me..."

"How do you know?"

"I guessed."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

"Mummy, was that old man just now that stingy guy?"
