After Rebirth, I Stole the Heroine's Halo

When Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, she was reborn as the villainess who met a tragic end.

To escape her miserable fate, she began to stir up trouble, hoping for a successful divorce!

But...

Chapter Twenty-Three: It Was Really True

"Nangong Yi, I'm trying to talk to you nicely, but you won't listen. Are you trying to force me to take action?"

Only when Su Xiaoxiao had firmly restrained Nangong Yi did she finally relax completely.

Looking at the man she was pinning down, she earnestly clarified again, "I've already made myself perfectly clear. I must have been out of my mind to keep pestering you like this. But now I just want to ask you, please stop testing my patience."

"Nangong Yi, did you hear me when I spoke to you?"

Nangong Yi did not reply; Su Xiaoxiao's strength was simply insufficient to subdue him.

He only let her sit on his back because he wanted to see what she was up to when he was outmaneuvered again.

And it was only at this moment that he completely calmed down.

He noticed that Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have changed a lot starting the day after they got their marriage certificate.

First, she threw herself over his shoulder, then she displayed superb chess skills while playing against her grandfather, and now her counterattack against him all seem to be telling him one thing...

"Nangong Yi?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Xiaoxiao thought that she had hurt him too much, but she didn't dare to let go immediately, worried that she would suddenly fall into his trap.

But Nangong Yi's silence made her feel very uneasy.

"Hey, I didn't do it on purpose. You provoked me first."

"Nangong Yi?"

"I hope I didn't suffocate him."

As Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, she still carefully looked down.

The moment their eyes met, she felt her heart inexplicably pound wildly, and a jolt of electricity suddenly shot from him into his hand, startling her so much that she quickly jumped away from him.

At this moment, Nangong Yi also turned over and sat up in bed, his deep eyes fixed on her without blinking, as if trying to see into the deepest part of her soul and see everything about her.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shudder. She carefully moved her feet toward the door, and when she saw that Nangong Yi didn't get up, she quickly added, "You provoked me first, so don't blame me."

At this moment, she had already retreated to the doorway. When she saw Nangong's hand suddenly move, she immediately stood up in surprise.

"I...I'm going back to rest."

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao immediately opened the door and ran over.

However, as soon as she opened the door and ran out, she froze on the spot, as if she had been suddenly struck by acupuncture.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

When Nangong Cang, who was coming downstairs with his cane, heard the commotion on the second floor, he immediately turned around and looked over. When he noticed Su Xiaoxiao standing anxiously at Nangong Yi's door, he took the initiative to go over to her.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Su Xiaoxiao quickly recovered and went over to help Nangong Cang. "Grandpa, what brings you down so late?"

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you guys?"

Nangong Cang glanced behind her, and when he didn't see Nangong Yi come out of the room, his expression immediately turned cold.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly explained, "Grandpa, Nangong Yi is on the phone in his room. He said it was a confidential call and insisted that I leave."

"Yeah?"

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's aggrieved and frightened appearance, Nangong Cang knew very well that she was lying. Just as he was about to walk over, he saw Nangong Yi come out with a phone.

"Grandpa, Junhao's research is a success! His plane will arrive tomorrow evening!"
