Chapter 1473: Chapter 1490: Nangong Jinlie’s Final Ultimatum 2

During dinner, it was Liang Yuzhu who wouldn’t stop talking. She and Mrs. Nangong seemed to get along very well, having a lot to chat about.

Meanwhile, Xiaonuan just quietly ate her meal.

Mrs. Nangong picked up a piece of sweet and sour ribs for her, "Xiaonuan, try the ribs I made. See if they suit your taste."

Xiaonuan quickly thanked her.

However, as soon as she picked up the food and brought it close to her mouth, the smell hit her, and she suddenly felt her stomach churn.

Her face changed, and she quickly put down her chopsticks, retching.

Mrs. Nangong’s face instantly turned pale.

"Xiaonuan, are you okay?" Nangong Yaoling looked at her worriedly.

"Oh, Xiaonuan, even if you don’t like the dish Auntie made, you don’t have to show it so obviously, right?" Liang Yuzhu said mockingly.

Nangong Yaoling glanced at her, his eyes cold.

Liang Yuzhu quickly shut her mouth, muttering, "Well, it is..."

"I’m sorry..." Xia Xiaonuan glanced at everyone, speaking awkwardly. After she spoke, she felt another wave of nausea.

She quickly got up and rushed towards the bathroom.

After retching for a long time in the bathroom, she washed her face and then came out.

As she stepped out, she saw Nangong Yaoling waiting at the door, his face full of concern.

"Are you okay? Why did you suddenly feel nauseous?"

"I... I’m fine," Xiaonuan looked at him, forcing a smile.

"Did you maybe have too much to drink last night and your stomach’s feeling unwell? I can take you to see a doctor later?"

"No... no need." Xiaonuan responded quickly, "I probably drank too much last night... I’m feeling a lot better now."

Nangong Yaoling sighed helplessly.

Putting his arm around her shoulders, he frowned and said, "Let’s see if you’ll drink again next time!"

As they walked to the dining room, Nangong Yaoling said, "Grandpa, Mom, Xiaonuan’s stomach isn’t feeling well... Please go ahead and eat, I want to take her back first."

"What’s going on? Suddenly her stomach isn’t feeling well?" Although Mrs. Nangong’s expression softened a bit, she still couldn’t hide her discontent and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, do you want me to call a doctor?"

"No need, I’ll be fine after a rest."

"How about this." Mrs. Nangong got up and walked to her, "Xiaonuan, why don’t you go to my room and rest for a while. After Yaoling finishes his meal, you can go back together. How about that?"

"No... no need, I’ll be fine just sitting for a bit."

"Mom..."

"Son, you rarely come back home, at least stay and finish the meal with your mom, okay?" Lan Jinqin frowned slightly, sounding dissatisfied.

Nangong Yaoling helplessly looked at Xiaonuan.

Xiaonuan quickly said, "I’m really fine, truly."

So, Nangong Yaoling had to let Xiaonuan rest in the living room temporarily, while he stayed in the dining room to accompany his grandpa and Mrs. Nangong for the meal.

Xiaonuan sat alone on the sofa, drinking the hot water the servant brought over, and her stomach felt a lot better.

After Nangong Yaoling finished his meal, Mrs. Nangong asked him to take Yuzhu back first. She said it was too late, and she wasn’t comfortable letting her go alone, plus Liang Yuzhu kept insisting that Nangong Yaoling see her off.

Mrs. Nangong then pulled Xiaonuan aside, wanting to have a chat with her.

Xiaonuan had to reassure him that she was fine so that Nangong Yaoling wouldn’t worry.

Nangong Yaoling had no choice but to nod and, a bit unsettled, gave Xiaonuan one last look.

Xiaonuan knew that Mrs. Nangong certainly had things to say tonight, so she told Nangong Yaoling that she also wanted to chat with Mrs. Nangong, assuring him.

As Nangong Yaoling left, Lan Jinxin’s face immediately turned cold.

In the vintage and understated living room...
