"Su Xiaoxiao, you're really deeply in love with Nangong. I'm sitting right here, and you can't even see me?"

"Excuse me, I have something important to discuss with Nangong Yi right now. Please go and wait in the corner."

Su Xiaoxiao waved to Shan Jiaxi, her eyes never leaving Nangong Yi since she came in.

"What's up?"

Nangong Yi didn't take their scene to heart at all, and he gradually got used to Su Xiaoxiao using such an opening line when talking to him.

However, her serious expression that followed made him pause for a moment.

"Um, does your Nangong Group have its own media network platform?"

"what you up to?"

Nangong Yi frowned slightly, feeling that he had agreed to something he shouldn't have.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly leaned forward, her face immediately showing a fawning expression.

"Nangong Yi, you know my parents' temper. They've been bothering me every day lately, constantly clamoring to see you and Grandpa. And you mentioned last time that they've racked up a lot of gambling debts. So, I'd like to use your company's media platform to make a small statement, is that alright?"

Is this a trivial matter?

As if he had suddenly realized something, Nangong Yi glanced at Su Xiaoxiao's almost frozen smile and his brows immediately furrowed.

"Don't worry, I would never do anything to damage the reputation of your Nangong family. I just... I just..."

"when?"

While she was struggling to know how to continue, Nangong Yi directly asked her when she wanted to publish the article.

He hadn't heard Su Xiaoxiao mention the matter of going back to her parents' home to negotiate with them for the past few days. He had assumed that she had forgotten about it or had secretly asked Shan Jinxi for help.

"Haven't decided yet?"

"No, no, no, I've already finished writing the manuscript. I told Grandpa about it when I took him home, and he agreed with what I did, but... but..."

"Just what?"

Nangong Yi glanced at Shan Jiaxi, who was sitting to the side like she was watching a play, and suddenly didn't want to continue the discussion with her in the living room.

But at this moment, Su Xiaoxiao took a small step forward, maintaining the half-squatting position she had been in while sitting on the sofa, and looked at him with a smile.

"Nangong Yi, could you spare ten minutes for me tomorrow? No, not that long, just half a minute would be enough."

"Su Xiaoxiao, did you eat garlic at Grandpa's tonight? Why do you smell weird?"

When she suddenly approached, Nangong Yi felt a sudden tremor in his heart, but he quickly regained his senses and showed a look of disgust.

Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback. She quickly sniffed her arms, but apart from a faint perfume scent, there was no other strange smell on her.

Besides, how could she possibly eat garlic?

"If you want to use the company's online platform, wash off your stench before you talk to me." Seeing her standing there in a daze, Nangong Yi put down his coffee cup, turned around, and walked away from the living room.

"I didn't eat garlic, so where does it smell bad?"

"It has a very strong sour smell."

At this moment, Shan Jiaxi suddenly approached Su Xiaoxiao and said to her, half amused and half teasing.

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao heard his voice, her face changed instantly, turning gloomy.

"Shan Jiaxi, if you don't want to get beaten up, get lost."

"Hmm, why does that sound so familiar?"
