Nangong Yi thought that Su Xiaoxiao would just give him a simple kiss and that would be the end of it. After all, her body was still recovering, and even if Huangfu Junhao's medicine was good, he wouldn't dare to take the risk at this critical juncture.
But his young wife clearly didn't think that way this time, and Nangong Yi quickly put on the brakes when he realized it.
"Xiaoxiao, you can't continue."
"Huangfu Junhao told me that as long as you restrain yourself, it's still okay."
Su Xiaoxiao spoke very softly, her face burning red, too shy to look him in the eye.
Nangong Yi had actually been holding back, but his little wife's words seemed to have a bewitching power, instantly shattering the rationality he had managed to maintain...
The night grew darker and darker.
After carrying the limp Su Xiaoxiao back to the bedroom, Nangong Yi personally helped her take a bath and change her clothes.
"Rest for a while, I'll prepare a late-night snack for you later."
Nangong Yi lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, his eyes overflowing with tenderness, and the doting smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
When Nangong Yi came downstairs, he saw that Shan Jiaxi was already sitting in his living room at some point, and his brows immediately furrowed.
What are you doing here?
“I would like to stay at your house for a while before my older brother goes back to France.”
Dan Jiaxi spoke weakly, and her eyes dimmed instantly.
Even without asking, Nangong Yi could glean clues from the other person's expression.
When he sat down on the sofa in the living room, he immediately asked the kitchen to serve some snacks.
However, Shan Jiaxi had no appetite at all. After glancing at Nangong Yi, he revealed his apology in his eyes.
"I think they'll catch up here soon."
"The same old problem?"
Nangong Yi was already used to the things that happened in the Shan family, but Shan Jiaxi's current appearance made him feel that something was very wrong.
"Choose any room you like, and stay as long as you want, but you're not allowed to deliberately bother Xiaoxiao."
"Um."
Unlike before, Shan Jiaxi didn't back down from Nangong Yi. Instead, she leaned back against the sofa, her eyes revealing a clear mockery.
"Sometimes, I really envy my brother. If only I could be as ruthless as him and just walk away. After the Luo Group ran into trouble, the Su Group started to make its mark in the construction industry. Do you know what my family members are planning to do?"
"You're going to be the go-between again, asking your elder brother to return to the Shan Group to take charge?" Nangong Yi thought it was the same old problem again.
To everyone's surprise, Shan Jiaxi shook her head immediately after nodding.
"They initially had this plan, but considering my older brother's stubbornness, they actually came up with the terrible scheme of having me steal cooperation project information from the Su Group. They even said that the best way to win my older brother back was to take down the Su Group first. They even planned to send someone to infiltrate the JX Consortium, which is just insane."
"Could it be that they think your older brother wouldn't dare to do anything to you, so they're taking it all out on you?"
"Yes." Shan Jiaxi nodded without hiding anything.
“My mom and grandma call my older brother ‘little beast’ all the time. If they hadn’t joined forces to force him, how could he have gone to France to start a business on his own? You know, I once thought that my older brother might be my dad’s illegitimate son, but it turns out he wasn’t.”
"It would be best if your older brother came and resolved this personally, otherwise this matter will continue indefinitely."
Although Nangong Yi did not know the specifics of the conflict between Shan Jinxi and the Shan family, Su Xiaoxiao's righteous indignation meant that she would not hate the Shan family so much unless she was certain that they had done something to him.
