Chapter 1480: Chapter 1497: Let’s Go Our Separate Ways

She hoped to be kissed by him like this, even if it meant truly kissing until she was breathless, it would be worth it.

But in the end, he slowly released her.

He held her face, resting his forehead against hers, breathing heavily.

"I know, you’re blaming me... that’s why you’re saying such things..." the man murmured in a hoarse voice.

"No... it’s not that." Xia Xiaonuan quickly shook her head: "What I said is true... Nangong Yaoling, I feel that we... we should still break up..."

Nangong Yaoling’s eyes suddenly widened because of her words.

He grasped her chin with one hand, looking at her incredulously.

"Xia Xiaonuan, what are you saying? Say that again!" he almost growled through gritted teeth.

Xia Xiaonuan was frightened by his demeanor, stared wide-eyed without uttering a word.

Nangong Yaoling suddenly released her, turned around, and walked to the window.

Xia Xiaonuan sat blankly on the bed, looking at his cold and indifferent back, for a moment, not knowing what to do.

The man’s tall figure was shrouded in gloom, emanating a low pressure throughout.

A moment later, he turned around again.

He quickly walked to her, grabbed her one wrist, his forehead veins popped, his body slightly trembled. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word:

"Xia Xiaonuan, what exactly did I do wrong to make you lose confidence in me? Because of one thing, you just decide to completely deny me, just want to throw me away? Xiaonuan, is our relationship so insignificant to you, that you can just throw it away at will?"

Xia Xiaonuan’s whole body stiffened.

Looking at his painful gaze, she finally realized what she had just said.

She spoke on impulse and actually said it.

She knew his character clearly, yet because of a moment of rashness, she spoke of breaking up?

So... he felt so hurt, so angry!

Xiaonuan wished she could bite off her own tongue.

She hurriedly said: "No, I wasn’t blaming you... Nangong Yaoling, I just... I just..."

"Just what? Because of my mother, my grandfather? Because they disapprove, you immediately want to abandon me, is that it?"

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

How could she leave him just because others disapproved? He thought she didn’t care about this relationship, that’s why she casually mentioned breaking up.

But he didn’t know, she clearly cared too much, and that’s why she had no choice but to leave!

She lowered her head and shook it.

"I’m sorry... I take back what I just said... I..."

Nangong Yaoling’s gaze was fixed on her face, the girl’s long eyelashes drooped, with tear droplets clinging on them, and her lips trembled as she spoke.

He couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache again.

He extended his hand, pulling her tightly into his arms once more.

"Enough. Xiaonuan... it’s my fault... Xiaonuan, don’t cry..." Seeing her cry, and recalling his harsh words towards her, he felt like he was an utterly despicable criminal!

Xiaonuan nodded in his embrace.

"I’m really fine now." She let her tears fall on his white shirt, took a breath, and tried to speak lightly.

Nangong Yaoling reached out to pat her head.

"Alright, go take a shower, don’t think too much. Rest assured, I won’t let anyone separate the two of us. Xiaonuan, trust me."

Xia Xiaonuan nodded.

She got up and went to the bathroom alone.

Nangong Yaoling stood at the bathroom door for a while, listening to the sound of rushing water, then turned around and walked to the door.

He picked up his jacket and stepped out the door.
