So it seems that Nangong Ao shielded her from this unwanted advance.
Xu Miaoting felt conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she decided to call Nangong Ao. She couldn't let Nangong Ao do anything reckless for Su Mengmeng.
I called once, but no one answered.
I called twice, but no one answered.
Three times...
"Hey Xu, what do you mean by calling me over and over again? Don't you know I have class right now? I don't have your ability to skip grades, go abroad, and finish my studies early, so I can learn everything without having to study anymore." Nangong Ao's angry voice came from the other end of the line, and Xu Miaoting could also hear the sound of bowls and chopsticks clattering.
She glanced at the alarm clock on the table and realized that it was already noon without her noticing.
"Nangong, I want to talk to you about Su Mengmeng." Some things she said seemed easy to misunderstand, but Xu Miaoting had to say them.
"Mengmeng?" Nangong Ao glanced at Lu Qingyan sitting next to him, then took a few steps away. "What's wrong with Mengmeng? You surnamed Xu, you wouldn't still be trying to persuade me to break up with Su Mengmeng, would you? I'd never be interested in you, so you'd better give up on that idea."
“Nangong, we’ve been friends for generations, why can’t you think of things in a better light? What’s so great about Su Mengmeng? You cut off your allowance for her uncle, do you even know that she—” Xu Miaoting choked up. She thought she had prepared herself mentally and could speak frankly, but in the end, she found that she still lacked that little bit of courage.
Nangong Ao snorted coldly: "You surnamed Xu, I knew it was you who went to my dad and talked nonsense, that's why my dad suspended my card. Now you want to go to me and talk bad about Mengmeng? In my eyes, Su Mengmeng is gentle, lovely, and understanding. How can a tomboy like you compare?"
“Nangong, you really can’t be with Su Mengmeng. It’s one thing for you to be angry with your uncle, but how can you let your aunt worry?” Xu Miaoting brought up Nangong Ao’s mother in an attempt to soften his heart.
Nangong Ao sneered, his voice growing even colder: "You surnamed Xu, do you really like me? If you really liked me, how come you didn't know my mother died last year? The one at home is just a figurehead, yet you still call her 'Auntie'."
Lu Qingyan froze as she ate her rice. It seemed like this wasn't part of the story. After Su Mengmeng married into Nangong Ao's family, her mother-in-law was quite kind to her. She hadn't expected this to happen.
Su Han's heart softened: [Master, how about we stop torturing him? A child without a mother is just a blade of grass...]
Lu Qingyan wiped her mouth and put away the bowl and chopsticks: [Su Han, his pitifulness is no excuse for him being a scumbag. He was indeed somewhat unfair in his relationship with Xu Miaoting. He did have a romantic entanglement with the original owner of this body before his engagement with Xu Miaoting was dissolved, and he did indeed use Xu Miaoting to take over the Xu family.]
Su Han stopped talking and obediently leaned on Lu Qingyan's shoulder.
After finishing his call, Nangong Ao saw that Lu Qingyan had already finished eating and said with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Although he spoke fiercely, Lu Qingyan couldn't bring herself to dislike him. His tone, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, only gave Lu Qingyan goosebumps.
Looking at the extra meat and mushrooms in his bowl, Nangong Ao grinned and said, "You can eat them yourself, why are you saving them for me? You're so thin, you need to eat more. I'm very strong."
Lu Qingyan's eyes twitched. She had saved the meat for him because she thought the meat in the cafeteria didn't taste good and she didn't like mushrooms. What was there to be touched about?
