Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 152 This Miss Nan is a bit strange

Nan Wu was introverted and conservative in her thinking. She had few friends and zero experience in relationships. Suddenly, a man of the opposite sex was behaving so intimately with her, which made her even more nervous. She subconsciously pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart.

"Mr. Nan, whether you speak or not is really irrelevant, but cheating is wrong!"

Nan Wu straightened her back, and before she could fully process what he had said, the man pulled away, holding a strip of paper in the air.

The page was covered with dense writing. Nan Wu stared in disbelief and instinctively reached out her hand.

Xiao Shen raised his arm, and she missed.

A playful smirk played on the man's lips. "Since when has President Nan ever enjoyed playing petty tricks?"

Nan Wu bit her lip, so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. "No, I...I..."

"You're not feeling well today, is that what you wanted to say?"

Nan Wu looked up at him, her fingers fidgeting.

Xiao Shen patted her head and smiled, "You should have said so earlier. Given our relationship, you didn't actually have to come!"

Nanwu has once again stumbled upon a major piece of gossip.

Sure enough, Su Ying and Xiao Shen were having an affair.

A delicate box was handed to Nan Wu. "Open it and take a look!"

Nan Wu paused for a moment, then opened the box as he instructed. Inside was a hair clip studded with diamonds. She was a jewelry enthusiast; hair clips, earrings, brooches, bracelets—anything she fancied, she would collect. In the Nan family, she had a dedicated jewelry collection room. However, collecting was just a hobby for this young lady; she rarely wore her jewelry.

Therefore, she could tell at a glance that the quality of this hair clip was no worse than those she had collected before; on the contrary, it was a rare treasure.

Wait a minute, so he originally intended to give this hair clip to Su Ying?
Oh no! Su Ying is an imposter, a substitute. So, what Xiao Shen originally intended to give was actually her, the true Miss Nan. Su Ying was just using her fame.

Thinking of this, Nanwu no longer felt inferior or doubted herself; she felt that this was originally hers.

"So beautiful!"

"Let me put it on for you and see!"

The man stood up, a full head taller than her, and using his height advantage, he easily tucked it behind her ear.

Each one is a top-quality diamond, bright and sparkling, like stars.

Before Xiao Shen withdrew, his gaze brushed past her earlobe, where, just like before, there was a small black mole that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.

“It looks great!” he said.

Nan Wu raised her hand to touch the hair clip behind her ear, her cheeks burning slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, but this gift is too precious. I can't accept it. Or perhaps..."

"I'll leave it with you for now, we'll talk about it later!" Xiao Shen lit another cigarette for himself, took a drag, and exhaled smoke as he spoke, which was quite satisfying.

Nan Wu was lost in thought when Song Hao knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Xiao, you're busy now, I'll head back first!"

Xiao Shen, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, watched her departing figure through the smoke.

Song Hao followed his gaze and glanced at him, then asked involuntarily, "Brother Shen, don't you think Miss Nan has suddenly become very strange?"

Xiao Shen leaned against the table, picked up the ashtray, and flicked off his cigarette ash. "What's strange about it?" "Putting everything else aside, just her speech just now lacked her previous confidence and professionalism. It was like..." Song Hao thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers, "...like she hadn't done her homework and was just reading the answers her deskmate gave her. It was too stiff, ugh! This is not her level at all, okay?"

"Anything else?" Xiao Shen flipped through the documents on the table, his tone indifferent.

Song Hao scratched his head. "Also, she seems to have become stage-frightened. She's been nervous the whole time. Uh, maybe it's because there are a lot of people from the Xiao family today. Anyway, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels off!"

Xiao Shen grabbed the file and lightly patted his head. "You're acting strange today, not working properly, thinking about women?"

Song Hao covered his head and quickly explained, "No, Brother Shen, I... I was just concerned about your woman..."

Xiao Shen glanced at him, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "What did you say?"

The more he tried to explain, the worse it got, and Song Hao was about to cry. "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Shen, I'm going to get busy now. Just call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, he darted away.

Xiao Shen rubbed the fingertips that had just pinched Nan Wu's waist, exhaled a smoke ring that blurred his deep features.

Her waist shouldn't be this size...

Nan Wu didn't go back to the company; instead, she went to Fang Lanxin's place.

"Is what you're saying true? Su Ying and Fourth Master Xiao? That's impossible, absolutely impossible, you must be mistaken!"

After listening to her daughter's account, Fang Lanxin firmly denied it.

Nan Wu pulled the diamond hair clip from her pocket. "Look at this. This was a gift from Fourth Master Xiao. He even put it on me himself. Mom, I checked the price of this diamond hair clip. It's worth over a million, and it's a custom-made piece. Would Fourth Master Xiao need to be so extravagant with just anyone? In other words, this is a token of love between him and that Su Ying, and he even... he even..."

Nan Wu bit her lip, her eyes filled with shyness and embarrassment.

Fang Lanxin noticed her unusual behavior and pressed her for details, "Still what?"

"He even touched me!" Nan Wu said, then covered her face in embarrassment and shame.

"Huh? This..." Fang Lanxin hadn't expected this either.

Unexpectedly, after she arranged for Su Ying to work at the Xiao family, Su Ying started to have designs on Fourth Master Xiao. I knew it! She had noticed the bite marks on Su Ying's neck before, which is why she had been so oblivious and allowed Su Ying to become increasingly audacious. Now, she has brought trouble to her own daughter.

Su Ying is too unrestrained and audacious; how could she possibly provoke such a powerful figure as Xiao Shen?

"Mom, what should I do if it's Master Xiao...?" Nan Wu was at a loss and was about to cry.

Fang Lanxin hugged her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mom is here, I won't let anything happen to you. You should observe first and see if what happened between Master Xiao and Su Ying is true. If it is, and he is still disrespectful to you, you should try to keep your distance from him. As the saying goes, if you can't afford to offend him, you can avoid him. Maybe after a while, he will lose interest. Besides, a big shot like him changes women like he changes clothes. Maybe before you can escape, he will have already given up on you!"

Nan Wu's eyes were red. "What if, I mean, what if he still bothers me?"

Fang Lanxin pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Then let's tell him tactfully that your affair has been discovered and cannot continue. It must be ended! After all, he holds a high position and has a special status. I don't believe he's not afraid that this matter will be exposed and won't do him any good!"

Nan Wu nodded, "I understand, Mom. I will do as you say!"

"That Su Ying is really something. She has to give me an explanation for this!" Fang Lanxin called Su Ying, but no one answered after it rang for a long time.

After the car stopped in the airport's underground parking lot, Nan Wu finally had time to check her phone. She frowned when she saw the missed call, and then called back.
