Chapter 752 - 763: You’re Quite Manly
Xia Xiaonuan angrily sat up, grabbed the phone, and shouted furiously, "Hello, have you lost your mind? I’m sleeping, I don’t have time to chat with you!"
On the other side, there was an uncommon silence.
Xia Xiaonuan was taken aback.
Then, a magnetic voice sounded from the other end.
"Xia Xiaonuan, who just called you?" Nangong Yaoling asked coldly.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
The nerves at the corners of her mouth twitched, and she stammered, "It... it was you, no one else... a call from an insurance company."
"Which insurance company dares to harass you with calls? Tell me, I’ll go and acquire their company." Nangong Yaoling said sinisterly.
Xia Xiaonuan: "..."
As expected, billionaires are so willful! She scratched her head and changed the topic, "It’s nothing... Why did you call?"
"I wanted to inform you that there’s a banquet tonight after work. I’ll come to pick you up then, so be prepared."
"Do I have to go?" Xia Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment and asked. Given her current situation, soon to be breaking ties with Nangong Yaoling, she felt it was best to avoid being seen with him.
"It’s Liang Shaochen and Nangong Zhongli’s engagement party. As the Young Madam of Nangong Group, do you think you have a reason not to attend?"
Nangong Yaoling asked in a somewhat cold tone.
Xia Xiaonuan felt a slight tremor in her heart.
Shaochen is really getting engaged to Zhong Li? Nangong Zhongli, even though she knows perfectly well that Shaochen doesn’t like her, insists on being with him. Will there be a good outcome even if they are together?
And Shaochen, he actually believes she was impersonating Qiqi.
She didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about it.
She didn’t want to think about it anymore. She just nodded reluctantly, "Okay..."
...
At the banquet, there were well-dressed ladies and gentlemen everywhere, toasting and exchanging drinks.
Xia Xiaonuan followed beside Nangong Yaoling. Today she wore a blue long dress with a white shawl over it, and Nangong Yaoling was dressed in a white suit with a blue tie.
As soon as the two of them walked in, they instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
"Look, Young Master is here... and so is the Young Madam..."
"They make such a good couple..."
Even though she had been with Nangong Yaoling for so long, she was still a bit unaccustomed to such occasions.
As soon as they entered, everyone paused and automatically made way for them.
They greeted and called out to Young Master and Young Madam.
The air was filled with the scent of various branded perfumes, and the aromas of champagne and red wine.
Xia Xiaonuan clutched Nangong Yaoling’s suit a little tighter with her hand, sensing her nervousness, Nangong Yaoling lowered his head and glanced at her.
Smiling, he whispered in her ear, "You look very beautiful tonight."
Xia Xiaonuan saw the slightly heated look in Nangong Yaoling’s eyes, and a blush instantly crept across her face.
She lowered her head, "Thank you, you look very handsome too..."
Being complimented, Nangong Yaoling was momentarily stunned.
He looked at the woman with her face slightly lowered with some surprise, it was the first time she had praised him!
In his heart, he felt surprisingly delighted.
"What did you just say?" Nangong Yaoling asked.
Xia Xiaonuan looked up, "I... I didn’t say anything?"
"No." He frowned, "I said you look very beautiful, and then what?"
"Ah?" Xia Xiaonuan was momentarily stunned, and instinctively replied, "You look very handsome too?" After saying it, she saw Nangong Yaoling smile contentedly.
"Apart from handsome, anything else?"
