Su Xiaoxiao hates being misunderstood more than anything in her life, especially being misunderstood by Nangong Yi, that terrible man.
Looking at the overly gloomy handsome face in front of her, she quickly explained the rumors circulating within the conglomerate over the past two days when she called for a halt, her innocent and aggrieved expression becoming even more apparent.
"This has nothing to do with me. It's you who always use Dong Jinyang as a smokescreen, which caused the misunderstanding. But it's good this way, so others won't know I'm your wife."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she gave him a smug smile, completely forgetting the unpleasant scene that had just occurred when she got on the bus.
But Nangong Yi's expression was already cold and stern, and the fierce look in his icy eyes not only did not disappear, but seemed to be getting stronger.
By the time Su Xiaoxiao realized it, she was once again trapped in the car by him.
"You...you're doing this again?"
Su Xiaoxiao remembered what they had agreed on two days ago, and she stared at him with a serious expression, as if she were going all out, but she was extremely nervous inside.
“Nangong Yi, I called Dong Jinyang aside in the restaurant just to check on your condition. I heard you were sick while I was eating in the cafeteria, so…”
Before Su Xiaoxiao could finish her sentence, she was startled by the strange look in Nangong Yi's eyes, and swallowed back all the words that were about to come out.
So, you're worried about me!
Nangong Yi's statement was a statement of affirmation.
After listening to Su Xiaoxiao's long, rambling explanation, he finally got a satisfactory answer, and the coldness on his face slowly faded.
He reached out and stroked her neck, gently massaging it with the pad of his thumb.
"Nangong Yi, are you jealous?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked the question very carefully, as if she was worried about something, her hands clenched into fists.
However, Nangong Yi did not deny it, and his deep gaze remained fixed on her.
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, but she still mustered up her courage and gently tugged at his sleeve, asking cautiously, "Everyone in our department thinks Dong Jinyang and I are boyfriend and girlfriend. Could you please not punish him? That way, I can openly ask him about you."
"..."
Nangong Yi did not answer. After glancing at Su Xiaoxiao, he immediately closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
"Please massage my temples, I have a terrible headache today."
"good!"
...
When Su Xiaoxiao returned to the office, her lunch break had just ended.
"Xiaoxiao, was it Assistant Dong who called you out just now?"
As soon as she sat down, Li Shuangyue, who was sitting next to her, leaned over with a gossipy look on her face.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, but when he thought of how horribly jealous Nangong Yi would be, he quickly shook his head and denied it.
"I saw it all."
Li Shuangyue gave a knowing look, pointing mysteriously at the marks on Su Xiaoxiao's neck, and said with a meaningful smile.
Startled, Su Xiaoxiao quickly clutched her collar, her cheeks flushing red involuntarily.
"It's time to get to work, get to work."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly looked away, using work to cover up the awkward moment.
Even she herself hadn't figured out what was wrong with Nangong Yi just now: first, he got jealous for no reason, and then he treated her like a servant for more than an hour.
He, on the other hand, slept comfortably in his car and went to work full of energy, while her fingers are now incredibly sore.
"Su Xiaoxiao, come with me to the conference room!"
Huang Zimei prepared the materials and immediately stood up to call Su Xiaoxiao. Her overly cold demeanor instantly calmed Su Xiaoxiao down.
