Nangong Yu has always acted unpredictably. Over the years of arguing with him, Xiang Wan has come to understand his personality to some extent and doesn't take his words seriously.
"Stop making such international jokes, okay? Time is of the essence, get to the point."
"Oh, you figured it out?" Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you curious why I'm here, and why I happen to live next door to your brother?"
"You people from the Nangong family can do whatever you want. What's so strange about this little thing?"
"Heh, you saw it quite clearly. Don't you have anything to say about what happened just now?"
Nangong Yu leaned close to Xiang Wan, his tone teasing, but his gaze never left her, making Xiang Wan feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Move aside a bit, I want to be alone for a while."
Turning her back, Xiang Wan pondered to herself how she should answer Nangong Yu's persistent question.
"Is it that you don't want to talk about it? Or did you not care at all? I saw that you were watching it quite intently, so I didn't have the heart to interrupt you."
"You..." Xiang Wan suddenly turned her head, extremely angry, "You did it on purpose? You saw it all?"
"Hmm, is there a problem from the moment they started taking off their clothes?"
"Are you crazy? You came all this way just to see this?"
"Yes, I am sick, but you are too, and you're quite sick!"
Xiang Wan was speechless after being rebuked by his words, feeling extremely embarrassed and frustrated.
"I really wonder what Nangong Chen's reaction would be if he found out you were peeping next door."
"What... what exactly do you want?"
Having been caught red-handed by Nangong Yu, Xiang Wan was both angry and embarrassed. This uncle had deliberately dug a trap for her, and poor thing, she had foolishly walked right into it. Now was not the right time to confront Nangong Chen. Exposing his affair with Liu Zixi prematurely would not only hinder her future actions but also implicate Liu's parents—a losing proposition. For now, her only option was to stall Nangong Yu for the time being. Judging from Nangong Yu's expression, it seemed he wasn't targeting Nangong Chen, but rather her. But what did she have that made him want to target her?
Xiang Wan was completely baffled and had no choice but to compromise for the time being.
"Okay, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Didn't you just say that? Have you forgotten already?"
Nangong Yu still had that carefree, grinning look on his face, which made Xiang Wan so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
"With your looks and wealth, Nangong Yu, what kind of woman wouldn't you want? I'm already a married man, as ordinary as can be, and I'm also your niece-in-law. What would you need me for?"
Nangong Yu slowly leaned closer, staring intently at Xiang Wan, and rubbed Xiang Wan's chin with his right index finger and thumb.
"Yes, I agree with you. It is indeed very ordinary."
Xiang Wan abruptly turned her head away, her brows furrowed.
"You, Nangong Yu, have everything you need, yet you still set traps for me. There must be something you want in me. My position? My status? My connections?"
In terms of position, I am just an ordinary employee in Nangong Group, and I have no access to any core content. Besides, you don't need me to be an inside man.
In terms of status, I only have the title of the wife of the heir of the Nangong Group, while you are the youngest son of Old Master Nangong. Whatever you want, I don't need to interfere.
In terms of relationships, I am just a weak woman. I only know a few people from your Nangong family and my own relatives. I don't have any friends who hold important positions or have particularly good relationships with me.
Based on these three points, I really can't think of any reason why you contacted me.
After listening to Xiang Wan finish speaking, Nangong Yu clapped his hands twice and gave her an approving look.
"Not bad, as expected of the wife Nangong Chen chose, she's quite composed. But she hasn't gotten to the point yet, guess again!"
Xiang Wan had no idea what he was up to, so she could only continue based on her own observations: "Since none of these three aspects apply, then it must be related to the person in question."
As she spoke, Xiang Wan noticed Nangong Yu raise an eyebrow slightly, realizing she had come to the right place, and continued, "My parents... are definitely not the ones you're looking for. So, the person I'm closest to is my younger brother, Liu Zixi, right?"
"Hmm, there's a connection. Keep guessing!"
"The people I've had the most contact with, besides Nangong Chen and Liu Zixi, are you. And the one connected to Liu Zixi, could it be—Nangong Chen?"
"Not too stupid."
Nangong Yu chuckled softly, while Xiang Wan was utterly annoyed. If Nangong Yu wanted to find Nangong Chen, he could simply go directly; why go through her? Unless, of course, it was inconvenient for him to show up himself!
"You knew all along that Nangong Chen and Liu Zixi were having an affair, and you deliberately lured me here so I could witness their illicit relationship. Now, as you wished, I've seen everything I should and shouldn't have seen, and you've even caught me red-handed. It's time to get back to the point. What is your purpose?"
Xiang Wan looked serious, while Nangong Yu remained calm and unhurried. This stark contrast made Xiang Wan even more certain that getting involved with Nangong Yu would bring no shortage of trouble in the future.
"Dealing with smart people is so easy. Go back now, and I'll tell the front desk that you never showed up tonight. I'll also delete the video recording."
What exactly do you want to do?
"When you find out, I won't hide it from you. Of course, I can't refuse when I need your help."
Perhaps Nangong Yu had thought of something, because just before Xiang Wan opened the door to leave, he deliberately added a sentence.
"Oh, right, there seems to be a camera in the bathroom, connected to the internet. Don't worry, I'll save it carefully. Go back and get some sleep, sweet dreams!"
Xiang drove back to the villa at 2 a.m. She rarely saw other vehicles on the road, and she even forgot her usual fear of walking at night. Her mind was filled with the words that Nangong Yu had said to her.
