Chapter 1612: Chapter 1629: Bring Xia Xiaonuan Back

"Hey..."

"Xiaonuan, how are you? Did you and Casey get hurt?" Gu Xicheng’s worried voice came from the other end.

"Casey and I are in the car, we’re just about to go home, we’re both fine." Xiaonuan said with a smile.

"I’m really sorry for scaring you and the little guy. I didn’t think we’d run into fans and reporters." Gu Xicheng said, a bit embarrassed.

Xia Xiaonuan quickly said, "This isn’t your fault, my son and I are perfectly fine. Besides, getting to have a meal with a big movie star is our honor." Xiaonuan teased.

"Stop making fun of me. Alright, I’ll set another day to apologize properly to you and Casey. For today, just take the baby home and get some rest. I’ve still got things to deal with on my side."

"No need to be so polite."

After hanging up, Xiaonuan turned around and found Casey sitting alone on the other side, propping his chin up with one hand, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window.

Xiaonuan thought for a moment. It looked like she really should have a good talk with Casey!

"Sir, stop at the dry cleaner’s up ahead."

"Alrighty."

...

"Young Master, all the media have been taken care of. Don’t worry, those photos of Madam and Gu Xicheng together today will absolutely never be released by the press." Qin Yi said respectfully, looking at Nangong Yaoling standing by the window.

Nangong Yaoling’s expression froze for a moment, and only after a beat did he speak coldly: "Don’t call her Madam again." Qin Yi’s face changed slightly.

"Young Master, I don’t think Madam and Gu Xicheng have anything going on. If they did, a few years ago they would have already..." Qin Yi said carefully.

"I know that." Nangong Yaoling turned around and looked at Qin Yi.

"I just don’t want to make the same mistake again." He said faintly, his voice tinged with a kind of quiet desolation, with a few threads of cold edge.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

He mustered his courage, took a step forward and said, "Young Master, there are some things I know I shouldn’t say, but..."

"If you know you shouldn’t say them, then shut up." Nangong Yaoling seemed to guess what he wanted to say. He shot him a gloomy glance and turned to walk toward his desk.

"But... I still can’t hold it in, Young Master!" Qin Yi caught up, watching Nangong Yaoling sit down with his usual elegant movements, and couldn’t help gritting his teeth as he said, "Young Master, these three years, you haven’t let go of Madam for even a single day..."

Nangong Yaoling’s cold gaze swept over him, and he immediately corrected himself: "I mean... Miss Xia..."

"You clearly have never been able to let her go, so why keep torturing yourself like this? Is your pride really that important? Madam... Miss Xia... I believe you’re in her heart too."

Nangong Yaoling propped his hand against his forehead.

"Qin Yi, are you lecturing me?"

"I wouldn’t dare!" Qin Yi hurriedly took a step back, then suddenly half-knelt in front of him: "Young Master, I’m begging you! Please bring Miss Xia back... You don’t love Miss Yuzhu at all. Just for Madam’s sake, are you really going to sacrifice your whole life’s happiness?"

"Enough!" Nangong Yaoling suddenly slammed his palm down on the desk.

Qin Yi shuddered all over, his face draining of color.

"Young Master, I... I was wrong."

"You think I don’t want to? But have you forgotten how she treated me back then? She’d rather sacrifice herself if it meant dumping me like an old coat! I, Nangong Yaoling, am human too, I fucking have self-respect! Why should I shamelessly chase after a woman who stays indifferent to me no matter how much I try to please her, no matter how hard I work?!"
