Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Meeting Him Again1
The brain almost went blank.
"Yes, this is Xia Xiaonuan. Xiaonuan, this is my good friend, Shaochen..."
"Xiaonuan?"
Xia Xiaonuan was completely stunned, unable to hear what others were saying, her heart filled with sudden excitement and shock, even disbelief. It wasn’t until Nangong Yaoling shook her arm that she came back to herself.
She looked at Nangong Yaoling and found thin anger in his eyes.
She was a bit dazed as she returned to her senses: "Uh..." Her gaze moved to Cheng Shaochen, her eyes seeming to be covered with a layer of mist.
Liang Shaochen seemed a bit surprised by Xia Xiaonuan’s reaction, but he still graciously extended his hand to her.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I’ve always heard that the Xia Family’s daughter is both talented and beautiful. Only such an excellent girl could be worthy of Yaoling. Though it’s a bit late, I still wish you a happy marriage."
His tone was unhurried, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, but each word fell like raindrops on her heart.
She never thought that one day, when she saw him again, it would be in this situation.
He faced her but did not recognize her, even smiling sincerely, wishing her happiness with another man.
The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death, but standing right in front of you, you don’t recognize me.
"Th-thank you." Xia Xiaonuan stared into his bright and clear eyes, eyes as blue and clear as the Caribbean Sea, a place she always yearned to reach.
But now, it seemed like watching a fire from across the shore, as if never able to reach it again.
Heartbreak like a twist.
His hand was warm and strong, his fingers long. Xia Xiaonuan held his hand and thought of when she was thirteen, accidentally breaking Grandma Li’s cup next door. Grandma Li chased her with a mop, and he took her hand, running away in panic. They ran to the woods behind the orphanage, then looked at each other and giggled.
Back then, his hands were still small, but already bigger than hers. Just enough to hold her, to shield her.
"Yaoling!" A crisp voice came from afar. Xia Xiaonuan came back to her senses and saw a girl in an elegant princess dress with a bright smile on her face.
The girl walked straight ahead and jumped into Nangong Yaoling’s arms: "Nangong, I miss you so much..."
Nangong Yaoling embraced her, smiling lovingly:
"Little thing, I missed you too. I thought you went to France and forgot about your brother Yaoling!"
Nangong intentionally said this, glancing at Xia Xiaonuan nonchalantly.
Xia Xiaonuan was completely out of it, her face a bit blank.
Liang Shaochen scolded slightly:
"Yuzhu, how old are you? You’re still acting like a child; your sister-in-law Xiaonuan is right beside you!"
Liang Yuzhu was stunned and then came out of Nangong Yaoling’s arms, smiling broadly as she looked at Xia Xiaonuan:
"You must be sister-in-law Xiaonuan? Sister-in-law Xiaonuan is truly beautiful!"
Xia Xiaonuan smiled woodenly: "You are also very beautiful."
Nangong Yaoling said: "This is Mr. Liang’s beloved sister, a naughty one." He said, ambiguously touching the tip of Liang Yuzhu’s nose.
"Yaoling..." Liang Yuzhu acted coquettishly, grabbing Nangong Yaoling’s hand and shaking it: "You can’t talk about me like that in front of sister-in-law Xiaonuan..."
Xia Xiaonuan felt her mind was going wild, unable to react.
Why did Nan Mo become Liang Shaochen? And he even gained a sister?
