Chapter 846 - 866: He Never Said He Disliked Her
"Xia Xiaonuan, are you an idiot? I’m telling you, once this opportunity is gone, it won’t come back! If you don’t take it now, and later come crying to beg me, I won’t give you a single penny more!"
Actually, Nangong Yaoling is a businessman, and when it comes to business acumen, in running the entire Nangong Empire, he’s sharper than anyone else.
If he doesn’t want to, he won’t lose a single cent.
However, when it comes to Xia Xiaonuan...
He doesn’t even know why, why even at this point, he still wants to do this.
But thinking about her leaving him while pregnant, even if it’s another man’s child she’s carrying, he still felt heartache, perhaps even... a sense of tenderness.
He’s already noted in the contract that Xia Xiaonuan’s shares cannot be transferred to anyone else, ever.
That way, it prevents her from being deceived by some man in the future and then naively transferring the money to others and ending up with nothing.
Because he simply doesn’t believe that apart from him, Nangong Yaoling, any other man could love Xia Xiaonuan as much as he does.
Xia Xiaonuan shook her head.
The juice was served.
"Sir, your bitter melon juice..."
"Miss, your lemon juice..."
Nangong Yaoling stared at the bitter melon juice in front of him and forcefully pushed it aside.
He definitely didn’t want to drink something so bitter!
Seeing this, Xia Xiaonuan quickly swapped her lemon juice with him.
"Then you drink this..."
Nangong Yaoling’s expression turned even more unpleasant.
"I’m not drinking something so sour!"
Xia Xiaonuan: ...
She lowered her head and took a sip of the bitter melon juice.
So bitter.
But seeing Nangong Yaoling staring at her intently, she suddenly mischievously curved her lips.
Then she took a big gulp.
"Hmm, it looks like they served it wrong. This isn’t bitter melon juice; it seems like kiwi juice, so sweet..." she said, making a satisfied expression.
Nangong Yaoling frowned.
Watching him, Xia Xiaonuan couldn’t help but say, "Do you want the sour one or the sweet one?"
Nangong Yaoling, with a super grim face that was still infuriatingly handsome, kept silent. He just pushed the lemon juice away in front of him with his actions.
Looking at Xia Xiaonuan’s demeanor, it really seemed like it was delicious.
He usually doesn’t like drinking such colorful things, but seeing her so interested, he couldn’t help but want to take a sip too.
Maybe this way, he could spend a little more time with her.
If they parted ways today, he feared he wouldn’t have another chance to approach her in the future!
Seeing that he seemed tempted, Xia Xiaonuan quickly pushed the bitter melon juice in front of him, a bit reluctantly.
"Here, I knew you didn’t like sour, this one’s for you."
Nangong Yaoling’s expression softened a bit.
A barely noticeable smile passed through his eyes.
Then, he took the drink, intending to sip it from the straw that Xia Xiaonuan had used.
Xia Xiaonuan suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
"Why?" Nangong Yaoling raised his eyebrows angrily.
Xia Xiaonuan quickly pulled the straw out and inserted a new one into Nangong Yaoling’s cup.
"I already drank from that straw. Use this new one."
With that, she pulled the straw out of Nangong Yaoling’s cup.
His face instantly turned grim.
His eyes flashed with a hint of anger, but he quickly suppressed it.
This woman, what haven’t they done already? They’ve even kissed, and now she won’t even let him use her straw!
It’s not like he ever said he minded!
