Xu Nuo wasn't an expert in this kind of business, and blinked, not understanding for a moment why Nan Qing'an was asking him this question.
The more confused I became, the more my frustration amplified.
Xu Nuo rubbed her chest, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Nan Qing'an noticed the annoyance on Xu Nuo's face and curled her lip slightly:
"Nono, about what you told me before, I think we should change things up!"
"Change what? Don't you want to bring down the Ye family!"
As Xu Nuo's sense of irritability grew stronger, his tone also became irritable.
“According to what you said before, even if the Ye family collapses, your situation is still too dangerous! We still have to get engaged and married! So I won’t allow you to put yourself in this situation!”
"What do you mean? Explain yourself!"
Xu Nuo looked at Nan Qing'an with an ambiguous expression in her eyes, and the discomfort in her body surged up again.
"I'll help you find a safer method."
Nan Qing'an stood up: "Nuonuo, you lied to me last night, I'm very angry! Now that we're back in Yuncheng, you have to listen to me!"
Xu Nuo scoffed:
"I don't need a safer method; I want to see the Ye family collapse as quickly as possible!"
Why do you never listen to me?
Nan Qing'an glanced at the doorway, and the two bodyguards guarding outside came in and stood on either side of Xu Nuo.
What does this mean?
Xu Nuo bit his lip. He figured it was about time, as Nan Qing'an hadn't given him the medicine yet.
The terrifying feeling inside him was surging up, and Xu Nuo could only bite his lower lip tightly to distract himself!
"Think it over carefully, and call me again when you've made up your mind!"
"What do I want? What do you want me to want!" Xu Nuo had just stood up when the bodyguards on both sides grabbed him, preventing him from getting close to Nan Qing'an.
"Think about whether you still want to lie to me in the future, and whether you still want to listen to me!"
Seeing Xu Nuo's condition, Nan Qing'an knew that he had begun to have an attack. He left a sentence and left the bedroom without looking back. The two bodyguards released Xu Nuo and stood at the door, one on each side.
"Come back, come back!"
Xu Nuo chased after him to the door, but was stopped by two bodyguards who closed the door.
"Damn you, Nan Qing'an!"
Xu Nuo pounded on the door a few times, then sat down weakly on the floor. The discomfort, soreness, and itchiness that had seeped into her bones began to spread throughout her body again!
..............................................................................................
Nan Qing'an didn't leave; he just stood not far from the door, his hands gripping the railing, seemingly lost in thought, glancing at his watch every now and then.
At first, all that could be heard from inside was a clattering sound, probably Xu Nuo smashing things.
A maid brought Nan Qing'an a chair, a table, a computer, and a cup of coffee.
Nan Qing'an sat in the chair, took a sip of coffee, and looked at his watch. Half an hour had passed.
"ah.................."
A suppressed roar came from inside the house, followed by a series of rapid and forceful knocks on the door.
"Nan Qing'an! Nan Qing'an!!!!!"
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The knocking on the door grew more urgent and forceful, accompanied by Xu Nuo's shouts of Nan Qing'an's name mixed with curses!
Nan Qing'an sat there, working on his computer, completely ignoring the somewhat hoarse shouts and banging on the door!
...........................................................
Closing his laptop, Nan Qing'an raised his wrist. Almost an hour and a half had passed, and there was no sound from inside the room...
Upon reaching the door, Nan Qing'an gestured for the bodyguard to open it.
The double solid wood doors were slowly pushed open. Nan Qing'an's gaze swept over the broken objects scattered all over the room, and finally, he saw Xu Nuo curled up in a ball by the bed.
Xu Nuo heard the door open, looked up, her bangs were sticking to her forehead with sweat, and her face was frighteningly pale!
"Give me............."
Xu Nuo laboriously raised his hand and extended it towards Nan Qing'an.
"Nono, what happened to the question I just asked you?"
Nan Qing'an walked up to Xu Nuo, squatted down, looked into his somewhat empty eyes, and asked softly.
"I...I'll listen to you...I won't lie to you..."
Xu Nuo's voice trembled, his body shook, and he managed to utter a single sentence with trembling lips.
"Nono, you must remember what you said."
Nan Qing'an took out the small red pill that he had put in his pocket and put it into Xu Nuo's mouth.
"If you don't remember, the punishment will be doubled!"
Nan Qing'an's eyes were cold and sinister. He watched Xu Nuo swallow the pill in one gulp, and only then did a glint of light flash in his eyes.
The pill seemed to melt in her mouth, and Xu Nuo felt a cool sensation slide down her throat, relieving the heat in her body!
In a daze, Xu Nuo felt Nan Qing'an pick her up from the ground and put her on the bed. What she couldn't get out of her mind was Nan Qing'an's cold eyes!
"Nono, you should rest well. I'll come find you again later!"
Nan Qing'an touched Xu Nuo's face, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

"Mr. Ye, you've been calling my phone non-stop!"
Inside the study, Nan Qing'an held the phone and spoke in his usual gentle and soothing voice.
"Mr. Nan, if you don't answer my calls, I'm going to jump into the river!"
Ye Zhen clearly felt relieved upon hearing Nan Qing'an's voice.
"It can't be that bad, can it?"
Nan Qing'an was well aware of Ye Zhen's current predicament, and his tone was sarcastic.
"Mr. Nan, it's not easy to talk over the phone. Let's meet in person. I've booked a place, and we can talk when we meet!"
Ye Zhen spoke urgently, fearing that Nan Qing'an would refuse to see him.
"Hmm... Nono is still sleeping. If we go, we might be a little late!"
Nan Qing'an deliberately brought up the promise.
"................."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the person spoke again:
"President Nan, if I hadn't seen the news about the two of you at the airport, I would have thought he was dead!"
"Mr. Ye, now that you've seen the news about the two of us at the airport, please be more polite when you speak to Nuonuo in the future!"
Nan Qing'an emphasized the words "be polite" very much.
"Otherwise, we'll have nothing to talk about in the future, understand?"
