Chapter 1525: Chapter 1542: You Will Always Be My Woman 2

As he approached, she could smell the familiar scent of tobacco on him, and she greedily took a deep breath; wanting to remember this scent forever.

Nangong Yaoling released her, and Xiaonuan dared not look into his eyes. His gaze was so deep and sharp that she felt he could see right through her. She was afraid that her inner dependence and longing would involuntarily show through her eyes, revealing a hint of vulnerability to him.

He looked down at her for a few seconds, then turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.

Xia Xiaonuan stood frozen in place.

"Bang——!" A loud crash resounded, followed by the sound of clattering.

She didn’t have to think to guess that it was Nangong Yaoling who had kicked over the antique flower stand in the corridor.

Then there was the sound of footsteps rushing down the stairs. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Xia Xiaonuan felt a bit dizzy and couldn’t help but sit down, supporting herself on the sofa.

She placed one hand on her forehead, trying to listen to the commotion downstairs.

However, strangely, she didn’t hear the sound of the door opening; Nangong Yaoling hadn’t left.

After a while, a servant came to knock on the door.

The servant carried a glass of milk as she entered, noticing Xiaonuan’s slightly pale complexion, she timidly said, "Young Mistress, Young Master said you didn’t look well and asked me to bring you some milk."

Xia Xiaonuan felt a sourness at the tip of her nose and just said blandly, "Leave it, I’ll drink it later."

"Okay... if there’s nothing else, Young Mistress, I’ll go downstairs first?"

"Hmm... wait a minute..." Xiaonuan suddenly looked up at the servant, asking worriedly, "What is Young Master doing?"

"Young Master is in the downstairs living room, just making a phone call."

Xia Xiaonuan frowned slightly and nodded, "I see, you can go rest now."

"Okay, Young Mistress. If you need anything, you can call me directly." Every bedroom had an internal phone line that directly connected to the servant’s quarters, allowing Xia Xiaonuan to give instructions over the phone.

Xia Xiaonuan nodded.

After the servant left, Xia Xiaonuan stared at the glass of warm milk in front of her.

She reached out to pick up the glass of milk, which was still steaming, with a faint milky fragrance drifting over.

Xia Xiaonuan indeed felt very unwell, and Nangong Yaoling knew her well enough to send milk in such a situation.

She felt a wave of tenderness in her heart; feeling too weak, she didn’t think of anything else and just drank the milk.

After drinking the milk, the dizziness increased. She used her hand to support her forehead, intending to get up and lie on the bed, but found herself too weak to move.

Gradually, she felt her eyelids starting to droop, and soon enough, she was sound asleep.

When Nangong Yaoling returned to the bedroom, Xia Xiaonuan was lying on the sofa, her pale little face leaning to one side, breathing evenly.

The milk had something in it that he instructed someone to add, something that was harmless to the human body.

It could make someone feel drowsy and then fall asleep.

He walked over to Xia Xiaonuan and slowly squatted down beside her.

Gently grasping her hands, he placed them in his own.

"Xiaonuan, I know that everything you said today was not from your heart. You love me, so you’d rather wrong yourself than speak such words.

We’ve been through so much, I won’t let you leave me so easily."

Nangong Yaoling gazed at her affectionately, the girl’s long hair draped over her shoulders, her dark lashes casting down, her pure face brightened by tears.

He felt a suffocating heartache and lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand.
