“I’ve told you everything that happened at the cemetery last night. How would I know why he would say that to you?”
Su Xiaoxiao finally understood why Nangong Yi was sulking. Thinking of what Dong Jinyang had told her before, she suddenly felt a little sorry for them.
When the young master gets jealous, his subordinates suffer.
But she couldn't understand why Nangong Yi was so jealous.
Su Xiaoxiao's smile deepened at this moment.
"Nangong Yi, you should at least have some confidence in your own charm. Look at yourself: you have money and you're good-looking, what do you have to worry about?"
"But there's this little idiot who doesn't care at all."
Nangong Yi gave her a light bite on her sharp-tongued little mouth without any hesitation.
Su Xiaoxiao was his Achilles' heel, leaving him completely helpless.
Two days ago, he discovered that his young wife had boldly bought a stock that many people were not optimistic about, and that the stock had hit the daily limit for two consecutive days.
Su Xiaoxiao herself studied business administration and had her own set of research on stocks. With Shan Jinxi's free teaching, even if she went from a highly educated person to a poor student like Su Xiaoxiao, she would still be able to save up her own little fortune without Nangong Yi's help.
Hearing the sourness in his words, Su Xiaoxiao's smile deepened. She wrapped her arms around Nangong Yi's neck and said ingratiatingly, "My husband is the prince charming that many women dream of. How could I not want him!"
"Say it again."
The word "husband" inexplicably improved Nangong Yi's mood. Although she said it unconsciously, he was very pleased.
However, Su Xiaoxiao didn't react. She opened her innocent big eyes and asked blankly, "What?"
"You misspoke!"
Nangong Yi tightened his grip around her waist, firmly restraining her movements. He had no intention of letting go until he got a satisfactory answer.
As he stared at her intently, the blush on Su Xiaoxiao's face deepened.
He wanted her to call him "husband".
She had silently repeated those two words countless times in her heart, but when she actually tried to say them to his face, she couldn't bring herself to say them.
"Xiaoxiao, this time I don't intend to let you escape."
Nangong Yi lowered his head, and as he closed the distance between them, he noticed that Su Xiaoxiao's face had turned even redder.
His young wife was very shy and couldn't resist his teasing. He was also utterly enamored with her flustered and bashful demeanor.
"Xiaoxiao, how about we go somewhere else, to my lounge?"
"No, no, no need to change, this place is fine."
Su Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head; she didn't want to be 'threatened' by him inside.
After taking a deep breath, she whispered "Husband Nangong" in a voice so soft that only she could hear it.
But Nangong Yi heard it, though he was not satisfied.
"Xiaoxiao, are you sure you don't want to tell?"
"I already told you, you just didn't hear me, so don't blame me."
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a slight smile, as if to say, "This is your own business."
"Xiaoxiao, we really need to find a different place to have a proper conversation."
Without a word, Nangong Yi picked her up. As Su Xiaoxiao instinctively tightened her arms around his neck, she quickly begged for mercy, "Husband, Nangong husband!"
However, Nangong Yi did not put her down as he had said before.
Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately tensed up.
"Nangong Yi, put me down right now! You're a big CEO, how can you go back on your word?"
"Xiaoxiao, you've been calling me 'husband' so obediently, how can I not do something about it?"
