Xia Xiaonuan smiled and shook her head, "Forget it. Yun has also worked hard for half her life; if the Xia Family doesn’t need her, let her choose her own path. Now... my mom has passed away, and I’m afraid that seeing her will remind me of Mrs. Xia."

Nangong Yaoling reached out, pulling her into his arms. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The strong masculine scent enveloped her.

"Alright, whatever you want, as long as you like it, it’s fine."

He said, picking up the bird’s nest soup beside him.

Xia Xiaonuan reached out and pushed it away, "I don’t want to eat now..."

"I’ll feed you," Nangong Yaoling looked at her domineeringly, "Just eat a little."

Xia Xiaonuan looked into his deep eyes and nodded, "Okay."

The man stirred the bird’s nest soup with his large hand, feeding her one spoonful at a time.

Xia Xiaonuan raised her eyes, observing his handsome face, under the light, showing a serious expression.

She felt a slight sting at the tip of her nose as the warm bird’s nest soup coursed into her stomach, warming her entire body.

When Nangong Yaoling looked up at her, his expression changed.

He hurriedly set down the bird’s nest soup.

"What’s wrong?" He reached out to cup her face and asked with concern, "Why are you crying again?"

Xia Xiaonuan, with tears in her eyes, shook her head.

Resting her face against Nangong Yaoling’s chest.

He was wearing a white shirt, his entire being exceptionally handsome, carrying an air of weariness.

She thought of how he, for her, traveled tens of thousands of miles to Australia; for him, countless times, through life-and-death situations.

She was truly grateful and deeply moved.

"Nangong Yaoling... Thank you, for being so good to me. I really don’t know how to repay you." She murmured, hugging his waist.

Nangong Yaoling’s lips curved into a smile, reaching out, his fingertips gently brushing through her hair.

"Fool, just staying by my side and always being with me is the greatest repayment. Promise me, never leave me, okay?" His hoarse voice asked from above.

Xia Xiaonuan nodded.

"Hmm... I and the baby, we will grow old together with the baby."

Nangong Yaoling took a deep breath.

"Xiaonuan, this is the most beautiful love talk I’ve ever heard."

Xia Xiaonuan’s heart ached.

This time, tears truly rolled down.

Fool.

She softly chanted in her heart.

Nangong Yaoling... sometimes, you’re really silly.

**********

In a simply luxurious bedroom.

The girl lying in bed slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at everything unfamiliar in front of her, the entire bedroom was designed in white.

Just then, she faintly heard the sound of footsteps.

She slowly turned her head.

Seeing a man dressed in a pure white shirt, holding a wine glass, walking up to her.

"You’re awake? How do you feel?"

Qi Yue widened her bewildered eyes, looking at the handsome man in front of her.

The man’s skin was snow-white, his face, features exquisitely refined. He appeared exceptionally graceful.

She blinked.

"Is this... heaven?" She asked softly, looking at the man who seemed like an angel.

The man curved his lips into a smile.

"Would you believe, I am an angel?" The man asked with a smile, sitting at the bedside, sipping a little whiskey.

Qi Yue couldn’t help but smile too.

"Yes... you really look like an angel."

"Ah..."

Tang Yan almost choked on his drink, quite inelegantly.

"Are you okay?" Qi Yue asked, quickly propping herself up.
