Chapter 1589: Chapter 1606: Proving How Well We Know Each Other

"Snap—!" The tag was bitten off deftly.

The moment her cheek brushed past his, Nangong Yaoling’s facial expression, as he looked at the tag dangling from her mouth, was beyond words.

Xiaonuan picked up the tag and revealed a satisfied smile.

She looked up and found Nangong Yaoling staring at her with a complex gaze, seemingly mixed with some resentment... and inexplicable grievance.

Xiaonuan was taken aback by his expression and immediately explained, "Ah... At home, I always remove tags like this for my son. You..."

Halfway through her sentence, she found that someone’s face had turned rapidly sour, looking even worse than before...

Xia Xiaonuan had to swallow her words.

She awkwardly smiled, "I... I didn’t mean it like that..."

Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath in patience, grabbed the brand new jacket draped over the bag beside him, turned his back, and put it on.

His back looked just like Casey when he was sulking.

Xiaonuan suddenly couldn’t help but laugh, feeling that life was truly chaotic.

Suddenly, she thought of Casey still at the hotel’s kids’ playground and couldn’t help but let out a exclamation.

Nangong Yaoling turned around with a frown, "What’s wrong?"

"I... I have something to attend to and need to leave first!" Xia Xiaonuan hurriedly said, turning to rush towards the door.

She only managed to take two steps before someone grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Where are you going?"

Xia Xiaonuan was worried about Casey being alone there for so long; surely he would be anxious.

She looked at Nangong Yaoling helplessly, remembered something, and reluctantly broke free from him, picked up the dirty shirt and jacket beside her, and stuffed them into a bag.

"Um... I’ll wash these clean and return them to you!" With that, Xiaonuan ignored his intense gaze and dashed out of the restroom.

She walked briskly out of the Western restaurant and ran to the road to hail a taxi.

Unfortunately, it was rush hour, making it difficult to hail a taxi.

As Xiaonuan anxiously paced around, a Maybach glided to a stop in front of her.

The car window rolled down, "Get in." Nangong Yaoling said in a cold tone.

Xiaonuan was slightly startled.

"I... I..."

Nangong Yaoling had already opened the car door, "It’s hard to get a taxi here."

Xiaonuan glanced outside again, reluctantly got into the car.

The Maybach drove smoothly on the road.

"Where to?"

"Sier Hotel..."

Nangong Yaoling was slightly taken aback, seeming surprised, but ultimately said nothing and focused on driving.

Xiaonuan looked at the clock, then tentatively glanced at Nangong Yaoling.

"Thank you..." she said awkwardly.

"No need to thank me, I just don’t want my shirt to get stolen."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

Her face darkened slightly, secretly wondering, how important is this shirt to him? Is it worth this much fuss?

Maybe... it was a gift from some lady to him.

Otherwise, from what she knew of him, he shouldn’t be so concerned about a shirt, right?

Thinking of this, for some reason, she suddenly felt a pang of sourness in her heart.

Yes, three years... with his conditions, he should already have a stable partner to marry, right?

A while later, Nangong Yaoling finally spoke.

"Didn’t expect you’d be staying at a hotel. Why? Your old man didn’t come back with you?"
