Chapter 1096: Chapter 1116: Nothing She Does Is Ever Enough

The bodyguard respectfully opened the car door, and under the escort of Nangong Yaoling, Xia Xiaonuan got into the car.

Sitting in the car, she still felt weak in her limbs, and her whole body lacked any strength.

Nangong Yaoling sat beside her, giving her a heartbroken glance.

He grasped her hand, which was resting on her lap, with his large hand.

"Your hand is so cold." He said worriedly, "Xiaonuan, are you scared?"

But Xia Xiaonuan suddenly withdrew her hand from his.

"Xiaonuan..." he exclaimed softly in surprise.

Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes were slightly red as she turned her head to look out the window.

"Don’t talk, I want to be alone for a while." She said faintly.

Nangong Yaoling looked at her, his deep eyes inexplicably revealing a hint of disappointment.

No matter what he did, would she ever be satisfied?

Did she not understand that everything he did was for her?

The man’s hand on his lap clenched into a fist.

His face turned a bit grim as he looked out the window.

When the car stopped in front of the villa, Nangong Yaoling glanced at Xia Xiaonuan beside him and said blandly, "You go home first, I still have things to do at the company."

Xia Xiaonuan snapped back to reality.

She looked at Nangong Yaoling: "Okay."

Xia Xiaonuan nodded, opened the car door, and got out.

As she walked towards the door, she felt a heaviness with every step. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Her entire body felt as if something was pressing down on her, making her uncomfortable.

She originally did not belong to this body, yet unexpectedly had become Xia Xiaonuan.

But now, because of her... everyone in the Xia Family left one by one.

She wasn’t a saint, endlessly tolerant of those who intentionally wanted to harm her.

She just didn’t want to be stained with blood anymore.

Therefore, she decided to let Xia Xinmei go.

However, Nangong Yaoling treated her like this, perhaps she could understand.

He cared about her so much that, in his eyes, anyone who hurt her should be completely destroyed.

These were Nangong Yaoling’s ways, and she had understood them from the time of Fang Wan.

He was always supposed to be ruthless, yet surprisingly, he showed endless patience and affection for her. She should feel happy and fulfilled.

But today, seeing Xia Xinmei die in front of her own eyes,

She suddenly felt so exhausted.

She felt as if her hands were stained with blood, even though she had not personally killed these people. Yet, it was as if she had pushed them down a dead-end with her own hands.

And originally, these people were his family.

Xia Xiaonuan walked back into the living room, and as soon as she entered, the servant approached.

"Young mistress, you’re back. What happened to you? You don’t look well..."

Xia Xiaonuan forced a smile.

"I’m fine, go ahead with your work."

"Oh, alright, young mistress, just call me if you need anything." Xia Xiaonuan sat on the sofa, closing her eyes.

In her mind, Yun appeared again.

When she first came to the Xia Family, she was unfamiliar with everything here, and Yun took care of everything.

Regardless of whether Yun had ever wished to harm her or had indeed harmed her.

After all, she had taken care of her for quite some time.

And also Mrs. Xia, Mr. Xia.

Jiang Xue... Xia Xinmei.

Those who truly cared for her or those who used her with false pretenses had all disappeared from this world one by one.

Xia Xiaonuan covered her face with her hands.

Tears flowed out through her fingers.
