Su Xiaoxiao was already bored in the office, and Nangong Yi's request, which was supposed to be a "private favor," was just what saved her.

As soon as she stepped into his office, she smelled a delightful aroma, and when she saw several small pastries on the coffee table, all her bad mood vanished instantly.

"Nangong Yi, you've prepared so much delicious food for me, are you trying to bribe me?"

Su Xiaoxiao said this, but she was actually very happy inside.

She picked up a plate of pastries without any hesitation and began to eat them with a satisfied expression.

Nangong Yi's eyes never left her. When his wife finished eating a plate of dessert and was about to move on to the next one, he finally got up from his desk and went over to her.

"I thought you would watch me finish eating before you came over."

Su Xiaoxiao had long since lost her initial wariness in front of Nangong Yi, and her trust in him grew deeper every day. She no longer rejected his habitual intimate gestures.

Just like now, he stretched out his long arm, and she took the initiative to sit on his lap.

"You didn't suddenly call me up here just to have something to eat, did you?"

“I noticed you were so upset at lunchtime that you didn’t have much of an appetite, so I specially asked the restaurant to send some food over.”

As Nangong Yi spoke, he ate the half-eaten pastry she had left, his eyes filled with doting affection. "Why didn't you throw a tantrum at me today? Looks like I'll have to prepare some pastries to bribe your little mouth from now on."

Su Xiaoxiao chuckled and pouted, saying, "I was so annoyed by Luo Yutong that I couldn't stand it anymore. Manager Wan letting me come up here was like a timely rain. I was so happy I wanted to jump up and cheer. Why would I want to mess with you?"

"She's giving you trouble again?"

A fierce glint suddenly appeared in Nangong Yi's eyes. Wan Rongshu had not reported this matter.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but poke his expressionless, cold face, and said rudely, "Nangong Yi, do you think I'm someone who's so easily bullied?"

"Doesn't look like it!"

Nangong Yi answered without hesitation: even if Luo Yutong had taken advantage of her, he would personally get revenge for her.

He glanced at the pastry stuck to Su Xiaoxiao's lips, then bent down and 'ate' it clean for her, stealing a kiss on her lips in the process.

"Nangong Yi, why do you keep ambushing me?!"

Su Xiaoxiao glared at him irritably, then picked up a small pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Don't let this happen again, or I'll really fall out with you."

“Then I’ll just eat my fill this time.” The smile in Nangong Yi’s eyes grew deeper.

When he saw Su Xiaoxiao's tense and uneasy expression once again, a triumphant smile appeared on his lips.

"Xiaoxiao, you have this bad habit of not learning from your mistakes. Should I think of a way to help you correct it?"

"What do you mean?"

Su Xiaoxiao had no idea what she had done to offend him again.

She's been behaving herself now, not mentioning Shan Jinxi's name to him and not defending anyone, so why is he acting 'crazy' again?

She swallowed hard, her hands unconsciously crossing in front of her body, her eyes fixed on him, and said, "Nangong Yi, this is your office, you can't do anything reckless here!"

“I have already ‘chased away’ the person who was in the way, and I promise that no one will come to interrupt our ‘good time’ this time.”

Nangong Yi saw the expression on Su Xiaoxiao's face very clearly. The more she forbade it, the more he wanted to do it to show her.
