Chapter 665 - 667: You Sleep in a Bath Towel
Could it be that Liang Shaochen intentionally misled Nangong Yaoling, planning to advance by retreating?
He made Nangong Yaoling mistakenly think that he was being nice to me only to spite him and Jiang Xue, making Nangong Yaoling believe that he didn’t really like me, thus lowering his guard against him.
For a moment, Xia Xiaonuan felt a sudden epiphany.
"Xia Xiaonuan, what do you want to say? Nang what?" Nangong Yaoling asked suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.
"Nan... Nangong Yaoling, you’re hilarious!" she shouted, shaking off his hand and turning to walk upstairs.
Nangong Yaoling stared at her back, his pupils flashing with something.
For a moment, he felt something was off.
But, he couldn’t figure out what it was.
Xia Xiaonuan finished her bath, wrapped in a towel, and stepped out of the bathroom, only to see Nangong Yaoling lying on the bed with a laptop on his legs.
Xia Xiaonuan wiped her hair with a towel and looked at him with dissatisfaction, "Can’t you work in the study room?"
Nangong Yaoling lifted his eyes to look at her.
His gaze traveled from top to bottom, scrutinizing her.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a bit uncomfortable under his stare and instinctively pulled her towel tighter.
"I like working here, is that a problem?" he said with an unchanged expression.
After speaking, he lowered his head and continued working.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
She couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.
She wiped off the water and applied lotion, then took out a hair dryer and started drying her hair forcefully.
The air was instantly filled with the fresh scent of shampoo.
She angrily looked at the man in the mirror who was working seriously, sporting an outrageously handsome face, indifferently moving the mouse and occasionally tapping on the keyboard.
The hair dryer made a "lulu" noise, yet he continued working without changing his expression.
Xia Xiaonuan furiously clenched her teeth and waved a fist at the handsome face of the man in the mirror.
She really wanted to punch that enchanting face into a bun!
Suddenly, Nangong Yaoling lifted his head and looked in her direction.
She froze, quickly averting her gaze, pretending to seriously dry her hair.
A few minutes later.
She walked to the bed and looked at Nangong Yaoling.
"I want to sleep now, can you move to the study room?"
Nangong Yaoling didn’t glance up, "Don’t worry, I won’t make any noise to disturb your sleep." His voice was cold, almost devoid of emotion.
Xia Xiaonuan replied speechlessly, "You’re not planning to stay here overnight, right? Our marriage is just a formality now, so we must live separately!"
A formality?
Nangong Yaoling’s lips twitched.
He glanced at Xia Xiaonuan, "Why don’t you say it’s an out-of-body experience?"
She laughed softly, "It’s almost the same! Or you could say it’s about to scatter like a fly!"
Nangong Yaoling’s face turned cold, "Just sleep, don’t worry, I’m not interested in a terrifying woman like you. I’ll go to the study room when I’m done..."
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
This working in the bedroom and then sleeping in the study room thing, only Nangong Yaoling would do it!
She glared at him fiercely, lifted the blanket, and crawled in.
Nangong Yaoling glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
"Are you sleeping with the towel on?"
Xia Xiaonuan glared back at him, "I like it, what’s it to you?"
She turned around right after speaking. After a while, she pulled a towel out from under the blanket...
Nangong Yaoling stared at the towel on her blanket, his Adam’s apple moving involuntarily.
Xia Xiaonuan turned off her bedside lamp.
If Nangong Yaoling liked working here, then he could go ahead and work!
Anyway, she figured he wouldn’t dare do anything to her!
