Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 17 Escaped

"Fourth Uncle, it's me, Jiayang. Shall I just go in?"

Seeing him about to come in, Nan Wu's body suddenly tensed up, and she shook her head, pleading with the man on top of her, "No, don't let him in!"

Xiao Shen pinched her slender waist, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Do you like it?"

Nan Wu lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears, "Fourth Master, I was wrong, please forgive me, please, please don't let him in, sob sob sob..."

"What's wrong?"

"You're wrong about everything!" Nan Wu only said what sounded good, saying she'd deal with the rest later.

If she had known this man was such a pervert, she would never have messed with him.

"Fourth Uncle, shall I come in?"

Silence is an affirmation. Even if Uncle Si is not here and no one saw him barging in, it's still better than Uncle Si getting impatient and blaming him.

After this mental preparation, Xiao Jiayang pushed open the door.

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle?"

Nan Wu was frantic, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, but the man on top of her seemed completely unfazed, enjoying himself immensely.

"Fourth Master, please, I promise I'll be obedient from now on, always at your beck and call, and I won't make you angry..."

Nan Wu hooked her finger around his, sobbing as she both apologized and pleaded.

Like a wildcat with an extremely strong will to survive, it makes you both love and hate it.

Xiao Shen was satisfied. He leaned down and gently bit her earlobe. "So good!"

Xiao Jiayang had already crossed the entrance hall and was coming over. "Fourth Uncle, Fourth..."

He never expected to witness this scene, and was so frightened that he quickly turned his back. "I'm sorry, Fourth Uncle, I... I didn't see anything. You're busy, I'll go outside and wait!"

In that instant, Xiao Shen rolled over, his broad body shielding the woman in his arms.

Hearing the door close, Nanwu's heart returned to her body, and she felt as if she had come back to life.

Xiao Jiayang kept turning back to look at her. Although the room was dark and he could only catch a blurry outline of the woman, he felt that she was very familiar.

She looks a bit like... Nan Wu.

This idea startled him, but he quickly dismissed it. No way, Nan Wu and Fourth Uncle had absolutely no connection. Besides, what kind of person was Fourth Uncle? How could he possibly be interested in a boring and dull woman like Nan Wu?
Just then, Song Hao came over and casually asked, "Assistant Song, has my fourth uncle gotten a girlfriend recently?"

Song Hao glanced upstairs and immediately understood what was going on. He maintained a respectful demeanor, but his words were cold and hard, "Mr. Xiao, I suggest you don't inquire about Brother Shen's affairs. He'll be unhappy if he finds out!"

Xiao Jiayang chuckled twice and left without saying anything more.

Only after leaving the villa did he dare to curse: "Pah! He's just a lackey of Fourth Uncle, a dog who relies on his master's power. What's so great about him that he dares to talk to me like that? When I have power in the Xiao family, you'll be the first one I deal with! Just you wait!"

Xiao Jiayang became increasingly suspicious of the matter. Feeling uneasy, he called Nan Wu before getting into the car.

Nan Wu never had time to answer his calls. She had silenced her phone on the way here, just in case, but who knew she would actually run into him.

When no one answered the phone, Xiao Jiayang felt even more uneasy, and turned the car around to head straight for Nan's Company.

Nan Wu returned an hour later and her brow twitched when she saw Xiao Jiayang sitting at her desk.

She composed herself and walked over. "Jiayang, what brings you here?" "What a question! I'm your fiancé, why can't I come?" Xiao Jiayang was displeased by the suspicion and spoke sharply.

Nan Wu didn't have time to hide the documents in her hand. With just a quick glance, she would know that these were projects for the Xiao family, thus revealing the fact that she had returned from Xiao Shen's place.

Xiao Jiayang looked away, his expression even worse. "Where did you go? I've been waiting for ages." "I...I went to..."

"Mr. Nan!" The secretary came in through the door and handed over a shopping bag. "This was just delivered by a sales clerk from the lingerie store in the department store. They said you left it there!"

Nan Wu paused for a moment, then quickly picked up the act, took the bag and waved it in front of Xiao Jiayang, feigning speechlessness, "Look at my memory! I spent ages shopping before finally buying what I wanted, and I still left it there! What a mess!"

"You went to the mall?" Xiao Jiayang was a little surprised.

She was holding documents in her hand, clearly returning from official business.

Nan Wu rubbed her temples. "Yeah, work is pretty boring every day, so I'm taking this opportunity to wander around!"

As she spoke, she seemed to just realize something, suddenly looked up, and pretended to be angry, "What do you mean? You doubt me? Jiayang, I'm your fiancée. If you don't even trust me this much, then what's the point of us getting married? We might as well break up!"

Actually, Xiao Jiayang was just trying to bluff. What if he managed to get something out of her? He had already denied that his fourth uncle and Nan Wu had any illicit relationship. It was simply impossible. Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare.

Seeing that Nan Wu was really angry, he tried to coax her with a smile, "It's not, Xiao Wu, listen to me, I'm just worried about you. I was afraid that you, a girl, would run into some bad people after being away for so long. How could I possibly suspect you?"

"Actually, I came here today to tell you that my mom has picked an auspicious day for our wedding, which is the 16th of next month. We have a month to prepare..."

Xiao Jiayang's gaze suddenly fell on her neck, and he frowned. "Xiao Wu, here on your neck..."

Nan Wu: "!!!"

Just as he was about to lift her collar, he was interrupted by a ringing phone.

"I need to take this call!" Nan Wu felt rescued and reborn the moment she turned around.

It was Nan Dongxue who came to see her. After this incident, Xiao Jiayang's attention was diverted. Since Nan Wu had something to do, he couldn't stay any longer. He said a few disgusting sweet nothings and then left.

"How's the proposal coming along?" Nan Dongxue asked as soon as he came up.

Nan Wu knew that the old man was watching this guy more closely than he was watching women. "Dad, that Xiao Shen is too difficult to deal with. I feel like he's deliberately messing with us. I think it's better to just give up than to end up with nothing."

What level is the Xiao family? What level is the Nan family? They're on completely different levels. Why would the Xiao family even consider the Nan family?
When they initially agreed, who knew what that savage was thinking? Giving people hope, then disappointing them, is tantamount to driving them to despair; he loves playing this kind of trick.

Nanwu has a deep understanding of this.

Bang!
Nan Dongxue slammed his water glass on the table, his old face grim. "No way, we're determined to cling to the Xiao family's coattails!"

Nan Wu stated the truth, "But there's still Xiao Jiayang!"

"Jiayang is Jiayang, and the Xiao family is the Xiao family. Double insurance, planning ahead!"

Nan Wu chuckled inwardly.

Old man! You've got some skills.

Nan Wu's words were not unacceptable to Nan Dongxue, but they troubled him so much that he paced back and forth like a headless fly, his hands behind his back.

As if remembering something, he suddenly looked at Nan Wu and asked, "How are things between you and Xiao Shen?"
