Nangong Cang's command immediately silenced the living room.
After his son and daughter-in-law left, he was helped back to his room by the old housekeeper, and the servants were also sent back to rest at that time.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Nangong Yi, who remained silent, and was at a loss for what to do.
“Nangong Yi, I really didn’t do anything to Miss Luo. I just told her about her confession to Brother Jin back then, but I didn’t expect her to be so agitated and to suddenly faint.”
"Su Xiaoxiao, besides your Brother Jin, do you even have me, your husband, on your mind?"
Nangong Yi's face instantly turned cold and stern, and his gaze towards Su Xiaoxiao was filled with a strong warning.
"That's not it. I just heard Miss Luo slandering Brother Jin, I..."
"Brother Jin, it's you again, Brother Jin. Do you really like to ignore what I say?"
As Su Xiaoxiao repeatedly called him "Brother Jin," the coldness in Nangong Yi's eyes became immediately clear, and the hands gripping her arms tightened their grip even more.
"Su Xiaoxiao, don't take advantage of my feelings for you to keep ignoring what I've said."
"I don't!"
Su Xiaoxiao hated being misunderstood the most. Looking at Nangong Yi's extremely cold face, she immediately raised her chin arrogantly and said with a serious expression.
"Nangong Yi, before I met you, Grandpa and Brother Jin were the only two relatives I had left in the world. No matter who hurts them, I will stand up for them. I won't compare you to Brother Jin, because there's no comparison... um—"
Before Su Xiaoxiao could finish speaking, Nangong Yi suddenly leaned down and fiercely sealed her mouth with a kiss.
However, his actions this time were very rough, showing no tenderness whatsoever, as if he wanted to shut her up from her incessant chatter.
Su Xiaoxiao struggled incessantly. When Nangong Yi pried open her mouth, she bit his lip without hesitation, only letting go when she tasted blood.
But Nangong Yi still didn't let go of her.
Su Xiaoxiao resigned herself to her fate and gave up struggling, tears streaming down her face.
The moment Nangong Yi saw her tears, he was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and froze on the spot.
Freed from her grasp, Su Xiaoxiao did not leave immediately. Her face was ashen as she looked at Nangong Yi and coldly asked, "May I leave now?"
"Xiaoxiao, I..."
"Nangong Yi, if you've vented enough, please let go immediately."
Su Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, and her expression became firm the moment she met Nangong Yi's gaze.
Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry!
Once he calmed down, Nangong Yi immediately pulled Su Xiaoxiao into his arms, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
But Su Xiaoxiao didn't appreciate it. She just let him hold her like that without saying a word.
Nangong Yi quickly noticed her unusual behavior, and the moment he let go of her, the apology in his eyes deepened.
"Xiaoxiao, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you without even knowing what happened. Can you forgive me this time?"
"Nangong Yi, I'm a little tired. I think we both need to calm down."
Su Xiaoxiao suppressed the pain in her heart and forced herself not to look at him. The moment Nangong Yi let go of her hand, she resolutely turned around and went upstairs.
"Xiaoxiao?"
"I'll sleep in the study tonight."
When Nangong Yi caught up, Su Xiaoxiao resolutely said these words, her hands hanging at her sides clenched into fists.
