The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 823: Chapter 843: Xia Xiaonuan, You’re Really Bold

Xia Xiaonuan suddenly felt very sad.

Suddenly, she thought of those concubines of ancient emperors who always needed to rely on having children to secure their status. A woman’s status rose with her child; as long as she was pregnant, her status immediately changed.

It seems now... because of the child, her status has really changed.

”I’m fine, really.” Xia Xiaonuan suddenly had an urge to cry but held it back.

No wonder one often hears about some pregnant women getting prenatal depression; pregnancy indeed has a great impact on a woman.

Perhaps only when you get pregnant can you truly see how much a man cares about you!

Nangong Yaoling was slightly stunned.

What did Xia Xiaonuan mean? Could it be that she wasn’t pregnant?

Then why did she buy a pregnancy test?

”What did you buy at the pharmacy just now?” Nangong Yaoling asked tentatively.

Xia Xiaonuan’s lips curled into a bitter smile.

He did ask after all.

”Yes, I bought a pregnancy test, but...” she suddenly turned around, looking into Nangong Yaoling’s eyes: ”But I tested it, and I’m not pregnant.”

She wanted to see if Nangong Yaoling would really turn his back on her just because she wasn’t pregnant!

Nangong Yaoling’s face indeed turned somewhat unpleasant, and a clear trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

But he still reached out, touched her cheek, and gazed at her deeply: ”Have you been feeling unwell these days? If anything’s bothering you, see a doctor to get it checked.”

Xia Xiaonuan laughed, ”I said I’m not pregnant, are you very disappointed?”

”There will be children in the future.” Nangong Yaoling was indeed disappointed, but more than the child, he cared about her! Even if she were pregnant, he would be happy because the child would be hers, born for him.

If he really just wanted a child, there are countless women willing to bear one for him.

”A lot has happened these days, you should get some rest.” After speaking, Nangong Yaoling got up and took off his coat.

Actually, there were still things he wanted to ask her, but... his feelings were very complicated now, so he didn’t want to ask anything.

He got off the bed and walked outside.

Xia Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Yaoling’s back, and suddenly, tears flowed uncontrollably.

She suddenly wanted to call him back and tell him that she was indeed pregnant.

But... thinking of the stark contrast in his reactions, her heart felt cold.

She didn’t understand whether he loved her as a person or just wanted to conquer her body and heart?

She curled up on the bed, wrapping her arms around her shoulders.

*****

In the bar.

In the center of the dance floor, a stunning beauty in ****** clothes twisted her waist like a snake, drawing screams from the surrounding crowd. The scent of cigarettes and various perfumes filled the air.

Nangong Zhongli walked in from outside, and a few men immediately came forward to strike up a conversation, all of whom were scared off by her cold gaze.

Her eyes fell on a man sitting at the bar counter.

Her pupils contracted as she stepped forward and sat down.

Nangong Feihong was dreadfully drunk, constantly pouring himself more alcohol.

His left hand was still wrapped in bandages.

Her friend had called, telling her that Nangong Feihong was drunk at this bar, and she didn’t believe it. Wasn’t Nangong Feihong missing? She didn’t expect he had actually come back!

He even came alone to drown his sorrows.

There must be something wrong.

”Feihong, what’s wrong with you?” Nangong Zhongli asked as she looked at Nangong Feihong.
