Chapter 1169 - 1173: Thank You for Your Concern
"Miss Xia, I did indeed have a heart transplant." Looking into those clear, limpid eyes of hers, he found himself unable to lie to her. "How did you know I’d had a heart transplant?" Had the Young Master told her? That wouldn’t really be his style, so how did she find out?Right now, Xia Qingqian’s heart was surging like a stormy sea. She held her breath. "Mr. Nan..." She choked up, not knowing what she should say. Her fists clenched tight. Should she tell him the truth?
But his life now was very calm, and maybe that was better. He didn’t know anything—wasn’t that even better?
In his world, there were no memories of the Qiao Family before, and there weren’t any now, nor would there be in the future. Let them go on living their separate, peaceful lives. Wouldn’t that be good?
"Miss Xia, what’s wrong? Is there something you want to say to me?" Seeing the tears shimmering in her eyes, his heart tightened for no reason. "Miss Xia, you have to keep your emotions in check. The Young Master is placing great importance on this press conference."
Xia Qingqian blinked lightly, forcing the tears hanging in her eyes back, and let out a small, helpless laugh. "I’m sorry..."
"Hehe... it’s all right." Nancy chuckled softly, then lifted a hand to rub his nose and said, "Miss Xia, do you have something on your mind? If you consider me a friend, you might as well tell me. I’d be more than happy to help."
"It’s nothing. Thank you for your concern." In the end she still couldn’t bring herself to ask, and instead changed the subject. "Mr. Nan, do you have a habit of touching your nose?"
Watching the motion Nancy made as he sat in the driver’s seat, she really did have a moment of dazedness. For an instant, she truly thought her Brother Zhenyu was sitting by her side, refusing to leave her, never abandoning her!
"Mm, that’s a habit I formed when I was very young. Ye Feng and I were both brought back from the orphanage by the Old Master. We have no family, but for some reason, whenever I touch my nose, I always feel like I do have a family, as if they’re somewhere far away." His gaze grew distant. "Hehe, tell me, do I sound a bit silly? To be longing for something to this extent."
Xia Qingqian looked at him even more agitatedly, while in her heart she kept saying: Nancy, what you’re feeling is real. You truly do have a family. At home there are your parents, and a younger brother. They all love you very much, but they don’t dare get close to you, don’t dare acknowledge you!
She was all but shouting in her heart, not knowing whether he could hear her!
She took a deep breath. "Mr. Nan, your family must love you very much. Maybe, for some reason, they were forced to part from you."
"As for that, I’ve never resented the family that abandoned me. Maybe, as you said, they had no choice. Besides, Heaven hasn’t treated me badly either. It let me meet a family as good as the Beitang Family. They’ve never treated Ye Feng and me as outsiders. Whatever education the Young Master received, we were able to receive the same. And now I’m one of the elite of Beitang Group’s elites. I don’t really have any regrets in this life."
If there was a regret, it was that after so many years, he still didn’t know who had donated the heart to him. All these years, there had never been any rejection, no incidents whatsoever.
That heart seemed as if it had been with him since birth, resting quietly in his body. If there was anything unusual, it was that whenever he saw Xia Qingqian, he would uncontrollably feel a stab of heartache. That feeling was not ordinary—it was overwhelmingly strong.
