Chapter 1182: Chapter 1202: It’s Too Late to Run Now 2
"Do you like it? Otherwise, we can try a different way... you’ll find that not only is it handsome, but it’s also delicious..."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
So this was his ultimate goal!
This man, he’s definitely scheming to the extreme.
A few black lines appeared on her forehead, and she looked up, meeting his expectant gaze.
In truth, she couldn’t bring herself to dampen his spirits, especially when faced with a face so handsome it would drive any girl crazy.
But... she lightly licked her dry lips, blushing and with a racing heart, stubbornly shook her head.
"No..."
Nangong Yaoling lifted her chin with one hand.
"Really no?"
"..."
"No..."
"Then why do you lick your lips? Xiaonuan, you’re being dishonest..."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"Can you stop talking, please stop..."
She said angrily, forcefully pulling back her hand.
This man, how could he be so overbearing?
"Xiaonuan..."
"..."
"Nuannuan..."
"..."
"Baby..."
"Oh dear." Xia Xiaonuan’s heart was in a mess from his calls, and she covered her ears with one hand.
"I can’t, I’m a germaphobe..." she mumbled hesitantly.
"..."
"Besides... there’s a baby in my stomach now, what would it look like if the baby saw..."
Nangong Yaoling looked at her and couldn’t help but laugh.
He lifted her chin: "Wife, you think you’re carrying Nezha and he has clairvoyance?"
Xia Xiaonuan looked at his mischievous face, speechless.
After thinking for a moment, she popped out a sentence that made Nangong Yaoling’s face turn completely dark.
"Nezha doesn’t have clairvoyance; it should be Yang Jian!"
"..."
The atmosphere turned especially weird.
Seconds later, both of them burst out laughing.
"Baby, after knowing you for so long, I just realized, you’re really Yang Jian’s mom..."
Xia Xiaonuan’s face darkened slightly.
"After knowing you for so long, I just realized, you’re really Yang Jian’s dad..." She laughed until she was out of breath.
Nangong Yaoling laughed too, turning her body right and gripping her hand tighter: "When we’re handling business, be more serious."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
"You... how much longer..."
"Your hand’s tired?" Nangong Yaoling suddenly asked worriedly.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at his concerned face and felt a warmth in her heart.
She lowered her head and said softly: "It’s a bit tired... but... I can still bear it..."
Before she finished her sentence, he spoke up, "That won’t do, switch to the other one!" He grabbed her other hand as he said.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
*****
Liang Group.
Qi Yue sat in front of a sofa, looking at the graceful and elegant man before her.
An assistant came forward and poured her a cup of coffee.
Qi Yue quickly thanked him.
Liang Shaochen was handling an overseas email, and after hitting send, he slowly turned around and spun his chair, looking at Qi Yue across.
"Miss Qi Yue, what exactly did you come to see me for?" In fact, he wanted to ask if it’s about Xia Xiaonuan.
But saying that was really hard for him to do.
Qi Yue held her bag somewhat nervously in one hand, it was the first time she saw the serious-working Liang Shaochen.
Before, she thought this man exuded elegance and warmth to his very core.
But now, it seemed, Mr. Liang might not be as she imagined; this man could be far more formidable than she anticipated.
Warmth and elegance were just his facade.
