Chapter 1609: Chapter 1626: What Is Your Relationship With Him? (Part 2)

Xia Xiaonuan was walking along the street with Xia Ruize in her arms when Nangong Yaoling approached and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xia Xiaonuan glanced at him, worry creeping into her voice, and blurted out, "I wonder how things are with Gu Xicheng."

Nangong Yaoling’s expression suddenly darkened.

Xia Xiaonuan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he had helped her, and she hadn’t thanked him yet, which was indeed inconsiderate.

So, she quickly added, "Thank you for earlier."

The look in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes was like daggers, as if he wanted to cut her to pieces.

"What’s your relationship with him? Is he really the child’s father?" he asked coldly.

"Who?" Xia Xiaonuan was slightly taken aback and asked in a confused manner. It took her a few seconds to react, and lines appeared on her forehead.

"He... he... actually..."

She hadn’t finished speaking when a clear voice rang out not far away.

"Crown Prince!"

Xia Xiaonuan turned her head and saw Liang Yuzhu panting, running from a distance to Nangong Yaoling. She quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Where did you go just now? I was so worried about you."

Nangong Yaoling’s eyes were fixed on Xia Xiaonuan. Seeing her hesitation, his handsome face turned even uglier.

He casually glanced at Liang Yuzhu and then said, "I’m fine."

Liang Yuzhu looked up and saw Xia Xiaonuan; her expression changed.

"Xia Xiaonuan, why are you here?"

Xia Xiaonuan, surprised to see Liang Yuzhu, suddenly thought of Liang Shaochen.

She remembered that when she left, he was still in the hospital and had lost his sight.

Wondering how he’s doing now...

Her eyebrows knitted in worry, "I... I came to have dinner with a friend."

"Hmph, your friend is Gu Xicheng, right? That big celebrity? It turns out you actors are all so fake, claiming you’re just friends when you’re actually boyfriend and girlfriend, even having a child! There are no reporters here, you don’t need to hide anything from us, do you?"

Liang Yuzhu looked at her with an expression waiting to see her embarrassed.

She really hoped Xiaonuan would admit that the child was hers and Gu Xicheng’s.

But Xiaonuan did not fulfill her wish.

She reluctantly said, "Gu Xicheng and I are just friends."

Liang Yuzhu’s face turned somewhat pale. She glanced at Nangong Yaoling, who was staring at Xia Xiaonuan with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Liang Yuzhu quickly took the opportunity to wrap her arm around Nangong Yaoling’s wrist and said, "I don’t care if you’re real friends or fake friends, but Yaoling and I are about to get engaged. If you have time, you’re welcome to attend our wedding!"

Xia Xiaonuan looked at Liang Yuzhu, and for a moment, her face turned almost bloodless.

But she still tried to maintain her composure and forced a smile.

"Is that so? Then congratulations to both of you." She looked at Liang Yuzhu, then at Nangong Yaoling.

He’s going to get married? So he ended up with Liang Yuzhu after all.

Well, Mrs. Nangong and Nangong Jinlie both like Liang Yuzhu so much, and... she was someone he knew since childhood.

Such feelings must be considered childhood sweethearts!

And that treasured shirt of his is probably from Liang Yuzhu.

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart was filled with bleakness, yet there was a sense of relief.

After all, deep down she understood that there was no possibility between them anymore...

Nangong Yaoling stared at Xia Xiaonuan’s face, as if he wanted to see right through it.

"Thank you, I knew you’d give us your blessing. Yaoling and I will definitely be happy."
