Chapter 1527 - 1544: Nangong Yaoling, Wake Up 2

Chapter 1527: Chapter 1544: Nangong Yaoling, Wake Up 2

She stepped forward painfully, about to speak excitedly, but thinking of something, she froze there.

What reason does she have now to care about him?

"You... how did you get injured?" She tried to make herself seem calmer, to prevent him from mistakenly thinking she was concerned about him.

But Nangong Yaoling grabbed her hand, looking at her deeply and asked, "Are you concerned about me? I’m injured, would your heart ache?" His voice was hoarse and deep, Xiaonuan noticed that not only the corner of his eye was injured, but his entire eye circle was black, and his eyes were full of red streaks.

Clearly, he must have hardly slept all night last night!

Xiaonuan felt heartache, so severe that she wanted to rush into his arms and hug him immediately, to tell him how much she cared about him, how much she loved him...

"No, I’m just curious." Her voice was so cold it surprised even herself.

If possible, let her endure all the pain alone, she would rather take it all on herself, just hoping to minimize the pain he has to bear.

She and him, after all, are people from different worlds.

Perhaps letting go is the best choice.

"Curious?" Nangong Yaoling frowned, staring at her, his deep eyes filled with complexity and pain.

"Alright... then I’ll satisfy your curiosity... last night, I had a fight with Liang Shaochen!"

Xia Xiaonuan shuddered.

Nangong Yaoling looked at her, the corner of his lips curling up with a playful smile: "What? Are you so nervous? Are you worried about his safety?"

"You... you’re crazy?" She practically shouted out.

Judging by Nangong Yaoling’s skills, since he’s already injured, Liang Shaochen’s injuries must be even more severe.

Although she no longer had love for Liang Shaochen, to her, Liang Shaochen was like a brother, like family... anyone getting hurt between them would make her feel pain and sorrow.

"Yes, I’m crazy!" Nangong Yaoling said with a smile: "Xiaonuan, you wouldn’t understand what price a man is willing to pay for the woman he loves."

Xia Xiaonuan felt dizzy before her eyes.

She freed Nangong Yaoling’s hand, turned around and went to sit by the bed.

Supporting her forehead with her hand.

Nangong Yaoling also turned around, walked to the window, looking out at the sea.

Last night he called Liang Shaochen.

At the boxing gym, Nangong Yaoling told him that if he won, he would give Xia Xiaonuan to him. But if he lost, he wouldn’t be allowed to harass Xia Xiaonuan anymore.

Otherwise, he would no longer care about any brotherly bond, meaning they would be completely estranged.

Liang Shaochen didn’t expect Nangong Yaoling to know about this, to know about Nan Mo and Qiqi.

Although he knew Nangong Yaoling’s martial arts were formidable, he too had been training since he was a teenager, sent by his father.

He decided to gamble.

If he won, he would have Xia Xiaonuan; if he lost, he might lose Xia Xiaonuan as well as everything else.

But he still had to gamble.

Liang Shaochen’s moves were counterattacks in retreat; while Nangong Yaoling’s moves were frenzied offensive.

Thus, in the first round, Nangong Yaoling suffered from Liang Shaochen, missing several times, and being caught off guard, Liang Shaochen hit him several times.

He lost.

In the second round, Nangong Yaoling steadied himself, learning quickly as always, soon mastering Liang Shaochen’s techniques. He wouldn’t be easily ambushed anymore, and although Liang Shaochen’s skills were advanced,
