In the past, he thought she was only jealous of Xiaonuan because she cared too much about him.

Even when she caused a scene, threatened suicide, he could tolerate it.

Because he could no longer give her love, there was some guilt in his heart.

However, the fact that she could humiliate Xiaonuan like this was something he absolutely could not tolerate.

Nangong Yaoling closed his eyes briefly.

Suddenly, the scene on the island in Australia where he confronted Situ Yan flashed in his mind.

He thought of the woman on the deck pretending to be Xia Xiaonuan.

Instantly, his mind was like a collision of sparks.

Veins popped on the man’s forehead.

One hand clenched into a fist, making sounds of joints cracking.

Jiang Xue followed the secretary upstairs in the elevator.

A female secretary led her towards the president’s office. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Miss Jiang, the president’s office is right ahead."

Jiang Xue smiled upon hearing this.

"I know, I can go by myself."

Seeing the secretary’s hesitation, Jiang Xue smiled and said, "Anyway, I just got off the phone with Yaoling, he’s waiting for me."

The secretary, seeing this, nodded and smiled, "Alright then, just remember to knock."

"Of course."

The secretary turned to leave.

Jiang Xue walked alone towards the president’s office.

She knocked a few times at the door but found there was no response inside.

Reaching out her hand, she gently pushed, and the door to the president’s office opened.

Jiang Xue looked at the vast luxurious office, it was empty, where was Nangong Yaoling?

"Crown Prince? Crown Prince?" Jiang Xue called out tentatively, glancing around.

Excitement flashed in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but look at the inner suite.

After confirming Nangong Yaoling wasn’t in the office, Jiang Xue’s somewhat nervous face instantly showed a hint of delight.

She quickly walked to the door and closed it.

Then, she quickly ran to Nangong Yaoling’s desk.

Just... what she didn’t know was that opposite the office, what appeared to be a wall was on the other side, a window into the bedroom, where Nangong Yaoling could clearly see everything happening in the office.

From the outside, the wall looked like a wall, but from the inside, it was a large floor-to-ceiling glass.

Nangong Yaoling stood in the bedroom, watching Jiang Xue at the desk, frantically rummaging through his desk.

As she searched, she nervously frowned and muttered.

"Strange... where is it? Xia Xiaonuan clearly said it was here?"

Jiang Xue searched around but found nothing.

The other drawers were locked; she had no way to open them.

She was sweating with anxiety.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door outside.

Jiang Xue’s face changed.

She quickly arranged the items and left the desk.

Then Qin Yi walked in from outside.

"Miss Jiang Xue, are you already here? Young Master had an unexpected meeting and had to step out. Perhaps you could come another day?"

Jiang Xue’s face still held a trace of suppressed panic, but she quickly smiled and said, "Alright, thank you, Mr. Qin. Please let the Crown Prince know that I hope he can call me when he’s done."

Qin Yi smiled, "I understand."

Jiang Xue took a step to leave.

Qin Yi suddenly called out to her.

"Miss Jiang Xue."

Jiang Xue froze.

Slowly turned around: "Do you have anything else?"

"Here’s the thing." Qin Yi stepped forward and said, "The young mistress is now pregnant, I think if you don’t have any other matters, it’d be better not to seek out Young Master..."
