Chapter 1153 - 1173: Let Me Accompany You
"Didn’t you also give one to Zhong Li? I think they’re the same." Shaochen, what’s wrong? Today your words are so strange.Usually, he’d never speak this way.
"Is that so?" Liang Shaochen looked at her with complex emotions.
"Is this necklace really from the Crown Prince?"
In his eyes, there was a hint of complexity and probing.
He didn’t understand what Xia Xiaonuan was truly thinking. Clearly, she was wearing the necklace he gave her, yet claimed it was from Nangong Yaoling.
Moreover, Nangong Yaoling didn’t seem to react at all.
What is going on? Did Nangong also give her the same necklace? Then... what about the one he gave her? Did she casually discard it, or never actually care?
Thinking of this, Liang Shaochen felt a stab of pain in his heart.
Although he had decided to let go of everything, he couldn’t help but want to uncover the truth.
Perhaps people are inherently foolish. Even when knowing there won’t be a resolution, at times, they stubbornly insist on questioning the right and wrong.
Nangong Zhongli held a wine glass, standing behind a pillar.
Listening to their conversation, she was thoroughly confused.
What’s the matter with Shaochen? His words seem to have hidden meanings. Could it be that the necklace Xiaonuan was wearing wasn’t actually from the Crown Prince?
Thinking of this, Nangong Zhongli’s face changed dramatically.
She instinctively reached out and brought her necklace to her nose.
She didn’t smell anything.
She suddenly thought of something and splashed a little red wine from her glass onto the necklace’s string.
Trying to sniff again, still there was no scent.
The necklace Liang Shaochen bought was specially crafted, although normally it didn’t emit any scent, it was infused with heavy substances.
Thus... even if treated specially, once exposed to water or alcohol, it would still release some unique fragrance.
However, this necklace had no scent at all, and even seemed to retain the original smell of the rope material.
Thinking of something, Nangong Zhongli’s heart sank heavily.
This necklace wasn’t the one Shaochen bought that day.
Then... the one she’s wearing could possibly be the one Shaochen bought later, but what happened to the previous necklace?
Nangong Zhongli’s gaze turned towards Liang Shaochen.
His gaze towards Xiaonuan seemed calm, but upon closer inspection, his eyes seemed to tell a thousand words.
She had known Liang Shaochen for so many years, thinking she understood him well.
Yet she had never seen him look at her like that.
She tugged at her necklace, her neck reddened by the tension, yet she felt no pain.
Because the real pain was inside her heart.
Bit by bit, like countless ants, devouring every cell and nerve.
That pain, like a tidal wave, completely submerged her.
She could hardly believe that Liang Shaochen bought the same necklace for both her and Xiaonuan.
His feelings for Xiaonuan were undoubtedly sincere.
But what about his feelings for her?
Were they fake or just a game?
Nangong Zhongli slightly lifted her eyes, turning to face the pillar.
Trying hard not to let the tears in her eyes fall. In such an occasion, she definitely couldn’t cry.
Still, a tear rolled down her cheek.
She reached out, quickly wiping it away.
Xia Xiaonuan listened to Liang Shaochen’s words, feeling somewhat confused.
"Shaochen, what are you trying to say?" she asked, puzzled.
The necklace was originally given by Nangong Yaoling, why was he repeatedly asking about it?
