Chapter 40: Digging a Big Hole for Himself



Su Xiaoxiao stared in surprise, her mind suddenly went blank, and she could only hear her own heart pounding wildly.

Nangong Yi hadn't expected this, but he didn't dodge. His slightly pursed lips twitched slightly at that moment.

Are you sure you want things to continue like this?

"ah--"

Coming to her senses, Su Xiaoxiao immediately pushed away the man beside her and turned to lie on her side on the bed behind her, her face turning bright red to her ears.

"What...what are you doing?"

What are you doing now?

Nangong Yi's overly calm face showed not a trace of emotion. He immediately straightened up, looking at Su Xiaoxiao's exasperated appearance, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Grandpa is going to stay with me for a while. Since you've made such a shameless promise to your great-grandson, what do you think I'll do?"

"What...what did you say?"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

When Nangong Yi saw her tightly guarding her hands in front of her, his brows immediately furrowed, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

"Su Xiaoxiao, weren't you trying every means to get close to me? How come you've become a completely different person after turning around? Did your vain parents teach you some new tricks?"

"I...I..."

Su Xiaoxiao saw Nangong Yi suddenly narrow his eyes and immediately became alert, a bad premonition welling up in her heart at that moment.

She almost forgot that she was Su Xiaoxiao, but she simply couldn't bring herself to do such a dissolute thing.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was struggling with how to deal with all this, Nangong Yi suddenly took a step forward, leaned closer to her again, and said, "Grandpa knows you're hiding in this room. To confirm whether we're lying to him, he'll be checking up on you at random times starting tonight. Xiaoxiao, you dug this hole yourself, so you'd better deal with it!"

After saying that, Nangong Yi turned and left, but the playful look on his lips was replaced by a profound and unfathomable smile.

Before Su Xiaoxiao confessed, he would only treat her as Su Xiaoxiao.

Not long after, Su Xiaoxiao, having made up her mind, shamelessly opened Nangong Yi's bedroom door. When she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, her cheeks inexplicably turned red.

"Su Xiaoxiao, cheer up, the man inside isn't your real husband."

Su Xiaoxiao kept taking deep breaths in her bedroom, trying to calm herself down as soon as possible.

She looked at the only large bed in the bedroom, and her mind went blank for a moment, as if it had suddenly gone haywire.

Suddenly, the sound of water stopped in the bathroom.

She tensed up again, worried that Nangong Yi would see her like this. Without thinking, she pulled the thin blanket off the bed and quickly lay down on the recliner in the bedroom, wrapping herself up tightly.

When Nangong Yi came out of the shower and saw Su Xiaoxiao's comical appearance, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up into a smile.

He changed into his pajamas, walked over to her, and gently kicked her back with his foot, saying, "What are you doing?"

"The bed is yours, but I can sleep on the recliner," Su Xiaoxiao said in a muffled voice, curled up in the blankets.

Nangong Yi glanced at the large bed behind him and unceremoniously pulled the thin blanket off her.

"What...what are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao jumped up from the recliner in annoyance, and when she met those eyes that were as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool, she felt inexplicably guilty.
