study.
Nangong Yi sat quietly alone in the study, holding the yellowed photograph in his hand, his eyes filled with coldness.
He knew he shouldn't pressure her, nor should he insist on making her focus all her attention on him before she trusted him.
"Su Xiaoxiao, what should I do with you?"
"Knock knock knock—"
When the knocking sounded, Nangong Yi immediately snapped out of his thoughts and put the photo he was holding into his wallet.
But he didn't get up immediately; he just stared coldly at the study door.
Su Xiaoxiao stood at the door with a cup of coffee in her hand. Seeing that there was no sound coming from the study, she immediately pressed her ear to the door.
But the person inside seemed to be deliberately going against her; not only did they not make a sound, they didn't even open the door.
Is he not in his study?
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment at the door, but then mustered up her courage and knocked on the study door again.
"Nangong Yi, are you inside?"
"What's up?"
When the cold voice came from the study, Su Xiaoxiao was startled.
However, she wasn't scared away this time. After taking a deep breath, she carefully said to the person inside, "Nangong Yi, I made you some coffee. Would you like some?"
"..."
The study fell silent again, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but press her ear against the door once more.
However--
When the door was suddenly opened by the person inside, she, who was eavesdropping, stumbled inside, spilling the coffee she was holding all over him. And, to make matters worse, she ended up in Nangong Yi's arms.
"Su Xiaoxiao, are you sure you came here to bring me coffee, and not to throw yourself at me?"
When she slammed the door and came in, Nangong Yi reached out to protect her without hesitation, completely disregarding the cup of hot coffee that had spilled on him.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly got up, but before she could regain her balance, Nangong Yi pulled her into his arms again, her body firmly held in his embrace.
"I...I really came to bring you coffee."
"Yeah?"
Nangong Yi's eyes remained cold, but she could detect a faint hint of tenderness in his voice.
Is that possible?
Thinking of the misunderstanding that had happened between the two of them in the car, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to stand in front of him and make things clear.
"Nangong Yi, I don't like being misunderstood. The question you asked me in the car earlier wasn't what you think."
"What's the meaning?"
Nangong Yi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and the cold light in them made Su Xiaoxiao freeze instantly. The words stuck in her throat left her speechless.
"Cough cough cough!"
Just as the two were locked in this stalemate at the doorway, Nangong Cang, who had come upstairs, did not want to disturb them, but the sharp look in his grandson's eyes made him unable to help but speak up.
Nangong Yi was surprised that his grandfather would come. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao looking caught off guard, he immediately pulled her into the study after letting go of her, and then quickly walked to his grandfather.
Even at home, you need to know how to do things in moderation!
"Grandpa, Xiaoxiao accidentally spilled the coffee. I was worried she would fall, so I reached out to help her up."
Nangong Yi quickly turned around and glanced at the study. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still hiding inside and not coming out, the coldness on his face gradually faded.
