The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 1303: Chapter 1323: He Actually Demanded This of Her

Mr. Liang’s gaze was also on her.

His pupils were complex and deep.

Their eyes met across the distance for a second,

Xia Xiaonuan suddenly felt a slight pain in her waist.

A large hand violently pinched her from behind.

She turned to look at Nangong Yaoling, who glanced down at her with dark, ambiguous eyes, as if he was angry, yet also a warning.

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart trembled slightly under his gaze, as if she had done something wrong, and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Actually, she hadn’t done anything. It’s just that this time, Shaochen saved her, no matter how he justified it, his willingness to risk his life still raised some suspicions.

Xia Xiaonuan isn’t a fool, but she doesn’t want to think too much. She prefers to believe what Shaochen said, that it was because of Nangong Yaoling’s face. Maybe this way, she won’t feel she owes him too much.

Liang Shaochen sat on the bed, his clear gaze on the two, a trace of barely detectable pain flashing in his eyes.

He pressed his lips together, then suddenly smiled and said:

”If you still consider me a friend, there’s no need for formalities anymore.”

In truth, when has he ever treated her as just a friend?

She was his; if not for that accident, perhaps... everything wouldn’t have turned out this way.

Even now, he still finds it hard to believe, feeling as if everything with Xiaonuan and Qiqi was just a dream.

The man’s hand clenched into a fist on the bedsheet.

Just then, a nurse entered to change Liang Shaochen’s bandages. Since Shaochen was wearing a hospital gown, opening it was required. Shaochen unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his firm and white chest, and the small strawberry marks on it.

His wound, although the bullet was removed, still made his heart slightly tremble. Liang Shaochen’s face showed no expression, but the wound made his whole face appear rather stern.

This kind of Liang Shaochen stirred complex emotions within Xiaonuan’s heart; Shaochen had always been gentle like water in front of her, yet she hadn’t expected that when facing the threat of death, he could be so resolute.

She thought of his voice calling her that day, and the figure rushing forward, watching him furrow his brows slightly from pain while changing the bandages, not making a sound, causing a pang of heartache.

She thought of what he said that day, he’d never changed, it was she who had.

Yes, she clenched her fist, feeling overwhelmed with guilt.

Liang Yuzhu sighed endlessly beside him, ”Brother, how terrifying... Was it painful when you were hit by the bullet...”

Liang Shaochen unexpectedly turned and smiled at Yuzhu, ”I didn’t feel any pain at that moment.”

At that moment, his only thought was that Xiaonuan wasn’t hurt; he felt something explode in his chest, followed by a blank mind, truly not feeling any pain.

It was only upon waking up, realizing the person beside him wasn’t her, that he truly felt pain.

Xia Xiaonuan bit her lower lip, at which point, Nangong Yaoling suddenly reached out, turning her face away.

Xiaonuan was slightly stunned, then heard the voice above her head.

”At this moment, shouldn’t you do something?” he said in a low, hoarse voice in her ear.

Xia Xiaonuan lifted her eyes, looking incredulously at Nangong Yaoling.

Her eyes carried a trace of anger.

Shaochen was injured like this for her, yet he demanded she kiss him at this moment?

This man, does he have any feelings at all?

”I’ll only give you three seconds. If I want to find her, I can at any time.” he warned in a low voice by her ear.

Xia Xiaonuan clenched her fists, turned around, seeing the nurse standing by the bed, blocking Shaochen’s body.
