Chapter 172: Chapter 174 [174] Taken Away by Him in Public 2
"What...are you doing?" Xia Xiaonuan looked at him awkwardly, trying to break free, but he seemed to anticipate her move, tightening his grip even more, clasping her hand firmly.
"Wife, I’m here to take you home!" He said it very naturally, as if it was the most ordinary thing in the world.
Yet, the onlookers’ jaws almost dropped.
It was a misunderstanding, all of this was a misunderstanding.
The Crown Prince actually loved his wife so much!
The way he looked at her was with an unprecedented intensity.
Standing not far away, Yang Zi’er’s face turned purple with anger.
She could only endure the pain, watching Nangong Yaoling and Xia Xiaonuan walking hand in hand in front of her.
Turns out, a lover is just a tool for entertainment.
When he needs her, he could hold her in the palm of his hand. When he doesn’t, he kicks her aside!
Yang Zi’er, filled with shame and anger, turned and ran off, ignoring the gazes of the crowd.
Xia Xiaonuan allowed herself to be pulled by Nangong Yaoling.
Even though she detested having any intimate interaction with him in public.
Even if it was just holding hands.
However, she knew that without Nangong Yaoling, her acting career, everything she had, would be impossible to achieve.
She hadn’t been in the crew for long, and already, so much had happened.
The entertainment industry’s backstabbing and scheming were already all too evident to her.
Previously, she was too naive to think that relying on her ability and passion could get her everything she wanted.
But reality is harsh and idealistic.
Since she had been forced to this point, there was no turning back.
Moreover, Nangong Yaoling was her husband after all. Using him to have everything was better than letting other women take advantage.
That Yang Zi’er, relying on Nangong Yaoling’s favor, never even acknowledged her legitimate status.
Today, it was time to show her some colors.
Seeing Yang Zi’er’s humiliated and angry departing figure, Xia Xiaonuan felt truly pleased.
Nangong Yaoling looked down.
He happened to catch a glimpse of the slight curve of Xia Xiaonuan’s lips.
A faint smile also flashed through his eyes.
That smile was hidden deep, so subtle that it was almost unnoticeable.
But that smile was intense, filled with a subdued joy.
This little woman, she actually cares about him, doesn’t she! Cares about walking hand-in-hand with him, cares about the other women around him.
On the street side, neon lights flickered.
Nangong Yaoling pulled out his car keys, extended his hand, and personally opened the car door for Xia Xiaonuan.
Xia Xiaonuan gave Nangong Yaoling a glance, unsure of what tricks he was up to today.
The always domineering Prince Nangong suddenly acting like a gentleman was truly rare.
What she didn’t know was that Nangong Yaoling was actually a gentleman, having been cultivated in the highest cultural environments abroad since childhood.
Any act of elegance and nobility was ordinary for him.
It’s just that...most men, especially those as arrogant as Nangong Yaoling, can only show their gentle side in front of the woman they care about.
And this, even Nangong Yaoling himself, had yet to realize.
Despite her silent complaints, Xia Xiaonuan obediently got in the car.
Nangong Yaoling got into the car, seemingly very pleased with her response.
He reached out and lifted her chin.
In the dim light, the girl’s face was extraordinarily captivating.
Especially those slightly parted tender lips, as if making a silent invitation to him.
