Su Xiaoxiao had finally found a chance to get rid of that big devil Nangong Yi, and she wasn't about to walk right into his trap.

After finishing her late-night snack, she comfortably lay on the living room sofa watching TV, showing no intention of going upstairs to rest.

"Young Madam, it's almost two o'clock. Aren't you going to rest?"

"You don't need to worry about me."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't notice that the old housekeeper and Lin Qiaoyun had been standing in the corner of the living room until the old housekeeper spoke up. She quickly told them to go back and rest.

Nangong Anmin shook his head, walked up to Su Xiaoxiao with a serious expression, and said earnestly, "Young Madam, you are the master, and we are the servants. We cannot overstep our bounds before you rest."

"..."

Seeing that the old housekeeper insisted, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to turn off the TV and pretend to go upstairs to rest.

"Qiaoyun, escort the young mistress upstairs. I'll have someone come and tidy up."

The old housekeeper's words made Su Xiaoxiao's face fall immediately.

She glanced resentfully at the maid following behind her, but when she reached the door of Nangong Yi's bedroom, she immediately put on a friendly smile.

However, before she could even speak, Lin Qiaoyun preemptively asked, "Young Madam, do you have any other instructions?"

"there is none left!"

Su Xiaoxiao suspected that this must have been arranged by Nangong Yi. She looked at the other person several times before finally resigning herself to opening the door and going in.

Fortunately, Nangong Yi had already fallen asleep.

Su Xiaoxiao quietly closed the door, and when she tiptoed to Nangong Yi's side, looking at his sleeping handsome face, she acted as if she wanted to vent her anger, making all sorts of punching gestures in front of him.

After venting her anger, she was relieved to find that she hadn't woken anyone up, so she straightened up and prepared to continue resting in her recliner.

However, just as she turned around, a large hand suddenly grabbed her waist, pulled her onto the bed before she could even cry out, and then quickly flipped her over and pinned her down.

"What...what are you doing?"

Shouldn't I be the one asking you that first?

Nangong Yi's eyes narrowed dangerously, and the chilling light in his deep eyes stared at her coldly.

From the moment Su Xiaoxiao entered the bedroom, he had been pretending to be asleep and waiting for her. He never expected that this little woman would 'retaliate' against him in this way, and afterwards she even raised her finger at him in a show of defiance.

"Xiaoxiao, you seem to really enjoy ignoring what I say."

"How...how is that possible?"

Su Xiaoxiao's smile was forced, but she couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake.

She also had a strong premonition that if she showed weakness immediately, Nangong Yi's methods of 'punishing' her would definitely be even more terrifying than they were now.

Su Xiaoxiao gently tugged at his pajama collar, and as he stared intently at her, she pointed to the wound on her forehead with a wronged expression.

"I just escaped death, can't you let me off the hook first?"

"Are you trying to be cute with me?"

Nangong Yi saw through her thoughts at a glance, looking at her cautious manner, but he knew he couldn't bear to go through that dangerous situation again.

"I told you to wait at the company entrance, why did you run away?"

"If I were to swagger into the Nangong Group's doorstep and get into the CEO's car, how would I go to work tomorrow? I'd definitely run away."

"Then what?"

Nangong Yi really wanted to turn this hateful, wicked woman into his rightful Mrs. Nangong, but her heart wasn't with him yet, and he didn't want to rush things.

When he saw Su Xiaoxiao's bright eyes darting around, he lowered his head and sealed her mouth shut, preventing her from having any more wicked thoughts.
