The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1302: Shaochen Still Has Feelings for Her (Part 2)

Xia Xiaonuan said, ”How are you feeling? Shaochen, last night... really, thank you.”

Liang Shaochen watched as some bodyguards brought in supplements and said with a gentle smile, ”We are all friends, it’s what I should do. Besides, if you got hurt, the Crown Prince would surely feel heartbroken.”

His words were meticulous, even somewhat false, as if he rescued Xiaonuan just for the Crown Prince. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was astonished in silence.

However, with Liang Shaochen’s earnest demeanor, it was difficult to discern any flaw.

The aroma of chicken soup lingered in the air.

Nangong Yaoling’s face suddenly darkened.

Liang Shaochen, indeed smart!

He knows how to assess the situation, to appropriately hide himself. Sadly, no matter how well he hides it, Nangong Yaoling can still see it clearly.

If he can’t let go of Xia Xiaonuan, just say it, no need to beat around the bush and absolve himself.

The more he says like this, the more it shows his mind is troubled.

However, Nangong Yaoling was indeed grateful for his courage to save Xiaonuan.

If Xiaonuan were the one lying in bed now, he would definitely be more worried. Besides, with Xiaonuan’s petite frame, who knows what the situation would be if she really took a bullet.

But he was still furious because it wasn’t him who saved Xiaonuan but Liang Shaochen who got there first.

Now he pretends to play the saint in front of him, he can’t find the words to say, yet he has to appreciate the gesture!

It seems like he’s really underestimated Shaochen all these years, usually acting indifferent, but actually, he’s quite shrewd inside.

Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth, stepped forward, extended his hand, and patted Liang Shaochen’s shoulder, ”Shaochen, thank you. This time, Nangong Yaoling owes you!”

Liang Shaochen said it this way, he had no choice but to acknowledge the favor, otherwise, Xiaonuan might think Shaochen did it for her, and feel indebted, and wouldn’t that make things more painful for him?

However, even though he thanked him, he couldn’t control what Xiaonuan truly thought.

And now, Nangong Yaoling could only keep his frustration to himself. It couldn’t be helped, after all, he saved his Xiaonuan!

Nangong Yaoling’s pat landed right on Liang Shaochen’s injured side, seemingly light on the surface, but with enough force to hit the wound, causing his brow to twitch, clenching his teeth from the pain as cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Yet he pretended to be relaxed and laughed, ”We’re all good brothers, no need for thanks!”

Xia Xiaonuan was somewhat surprised by Liang Shaochen’s change in attitude.

Her small face froze for a moment, but upon thinking, with Zhongli here and earlier witnessing their intimacy, it seemed Shaochen had truly made up his mind.

Seeing Nangong Yaoling and Shaochen seemingly like brothers deeply bonded, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what, as long as they could stay as good friends like before, she was satisfied.

Nangong Zhongli’s eyes deepened further, glancing complexly at Shaochen and Nangong Yaoling.

Then glancing at Xia Xiaonuan.

Hands gripping the sheet at the bedside.

Was Shaochen’s rescue of Xiaonuan truly just out of friendly concern?

If a man could step out in crucial moments for a woman, even risking his life, how could it be as simple as friendship?

But Shaochen said this, also giving her enough respect.

She smiled and said, ”Brother, your friendship with Shaochen spans so many years, there’s no need for formalities. You are lifelong brothers, nothing can shake that.”
