Chapter 650 - 652: You Performed Well Today
This arrogant man focused all his attention on her, afraid she would really get hurt or actually jump down.
Jiang Xue’s fingertips slid over his back, slowly forming a fist.
No... she couldn’t fall for him. This man belonged to a completely different world than hers, didn’t he?
But this warmth was really hard to let go of.
"Alright." Nangong Yaoling released her and helped her up, saying, "I’ll take you back."
Jiang Xue gazed at him and nodded.
After the press conference ended, Xia Xiaonuan went home with Nangong Jinlie.
In the car, Nangong Jinlie looked at Xia Xiaonuan appreciatively and said, "Xiaonuan, you did very well today!"
Xia Xiaonuan smiled, "I... I was very nervous all the time, but it was good to have you by my side, otherwise, I really wouldn’t have known what to do."
Nangong Jinlie nodded, his face darkening as he thought of something.
"That child, Ling’er, wait till I get home and deal with him!"
Nangong Yaoling took Jiang Xue back home, and Qin Yi’s call came in.
"Young Master... the press conference has ended smoothly, the Old Master and the Young Madam have returned to the old house."
Nangong Yaoling nodded, "I know."
He hung up the phone, a complex look flashing in his pupils, turned the car around, and drove towards the old house.
As soon as he entered, he felt the atmosphere was off.
"Master, the Young Master is back," the butler said to Nangong Jinlie, who was drinking tea in the living room.
The fragrance of tea wafted in the air.
Nangong Jinlie remained silent.
Xia Xiaonuan, sitting opposite Nangong Jinlie, glanced at Nangong Yaoling.
This man, he still knew to come back?
Nangong Yaoling and Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes met, a trace of awkwardness passing between them.
He walked over to the sofa.
"Grandpa... I’m sorry, I..." Nangong Yaoling apologized, a bit embarrassed.
Nangong Jinlie raised his eyes, his sharp gaze darting a glance at Nangong Yaoling.
"The one you should apologize to is Xiaonuan!" he said coldly.
Nangong Yaoling glanced at Xia Xiaonuan, his hanging hand clenched into a fist.
Xia Xiaonuan rarely saw Nangong Yaoling in such a state, barely daring to breathe. Perhaps it was only in front of Nangong Jinlie that he would completely put away his pride and arrogance.
Although she was also angry, no matter what, the issue was already resolved.
She looked at Nangong Jinlie and said, "Grandpa, it’s okay, after all, the matter has been resolved! Besides, we could have solved it even without him, you shouldn’t be angry anymore."
Nangong Yaoling glanced at Xia Xiaonuan, his lips twitching.
Was this woman hinting that he was dispensable? That even without him, she could solve all the problems?
Nangong Jinlie gave Xia Xiaonuan a deep look.
He said seriously, "Xiaonuan, although we solved the matter, he is your husband. When something happens, he should stand in front of you to protect you! Girls shouldn’t be too strong!"
Xia Xiaonuan’s face darkened.
Why was Grandpa starting to lecture her again?
A glint of amusement flashed in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes.
"What are you laughing at!" Nangong Jinlie glared at Nangong Yaoling and shouted, "You still have the nerve to laugh!"
Xia Xiaonuan: "..." She barely held back her laughter.
Nangong Yaoling furrowed his brows and called out plaintively, "Grandpa..."
"This matter, you owe Xiaonuan! Today you owe her a favor. Xiaonuan, Grandpa is giving you a special privilege. You can ask him to do one thing for you! If he doesn’t agree, come to Grandpa, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you!"
