Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 34 is private and cannot be disclosed.

Xiao Shen exhaled a smoke ring, staring at her through the mist, his smile not reaching his eyes, "Keep making things up!"

Nan Wu didn't think he would believe her either, after all, even she herself didn't believe it.
Fortunately, she had prepared a second plan.

"Alright, to be honest, Fourth Master, I lied to you for half of what I said earlier!"

"Which half?" Xiao Shen casually puffed on his cigarette, his gaze never leaving Nan Wu's face, like a sharp knife that could pierce through her mask of pretense in an instant, leaving her nowhere to escape.

"I'm really short of money, and I've also heard recently that property prices in that area have plummeted, so I quickly made my move! Besides, my stepsister might be eyeing what I have. If I'm not in a hurry to cash out, am I supposed to leave it to them? People are selfish, don't you think, Fourth Master?"

Anyway, she just made up reasons around her family's messy affairs to make it seem more real. Besides that, Nan Wu really didn't know how else to explain it.

Xiao Shen chuckled and crossed his legs. "You're quite the businessman!"

Does his expression tell you whether he believes it or not?

Nan Wu decided to press her advantage. She got out of bed, forced herself to sit on his lap, hooked her arms around his neck, blinked rapidly, and tears streamed down her face. "Fourth Master, I swear, everything I said is true. I've really had a tough time. That house couldn't be sold for days. Luckily, Mr. Du took a liking to it. What bad intentions could a girl like me have? I just wanted to give myself some security, sob sob sob..."

Nanwu is best at crying, but not in an annoying way. She has tears, but doesn't make a scene; her emotions are genuine and she knows when to stop.

Especially her unique crying voice, soft and sweet, delicate and charming, just the right amount of saccharine and insensitive.

Unfortunately, Xiao Shen fell for this trick. Every time she cried, it made his lower abdomen feel hot and his throat dry and itchy. If it weren't for the fact that she was injured there, he would have pressed her down and taught her a lesson.

"Alright, look at you, so pathetic. I was just asking you a question, and you're already acting all guilty?"

He pinched Nanwu's face with one hand and used the other hand to hold a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"Whether you're lying to me or not, you know it in your heart. If I ever find out that you're deceiving me..." Nan Wu's grip tightened, and she winced in pain.

"Nan Wu, you're dead!" Xiao Shen stuffed the used handkerchief into her chest, then yanked her away, grabbed his coat, and got up to leave.

Looking at the closed door, Nan Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, Xiao Shen has been suspicious of her intentions and might even be investigating her behind her back.

Fang Lanxin had paved the way for her so meticulously that it wouldn't be easy to find out anything. Besides, no matter how smart or perceptive Xiao Shen was, he would never have guessed that her identity as the eldest daughter of the Nan family was fake.

Once she finishes her mission, she'll say goodbye to this place immediately. She doesn't believe Xiao Shen can chase her to the ends of the earth.
……

"Old Du, you're something else, daring to set your sights on Brother Shen's woman! You're my big brother, really."

Instead of offering comfort, Qi Yu gloated, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

Du Lin pretended to kick him, "Can't you even get a girlfriend?"

"Hahaha! You're getting anxious, aren't you? I didn't expect you to fall into such a trap either. By the way, how did you end up hooking up with Brother Shen's woman? Tell me all about it and satisfy my curiosity!"

Du Lin glanced at him indifferently, "Stop talking nonsense. Brother Shen is ignoring me now. If you're still my brother, tell me what to do now?"

Qi Yu scratched his neck, looking troubled. "Well, this is a bit difficult. You know Shen Ge well. In my opinion, why don't you send two of your weirdos to Shen Ge for a taste? If that doesn't work, you can send them to me. If I'm happy, I'll reluctantly put in a good word for you with Shen Ge. How about that?"

“It’s possible, but…” Du Lin hesitated.

Qi Yu's expression was wary. "But what?"

"I'm afraid your skills are too weak, and people won't bother playing with you!" Du Lin patted his shoulder, stood up, and gracefully left.

After standing there stunned for a few seconds, Qi Yu finally reacted, laughing and cursing, "Damn it! Who are you laughing at? Based on experience, if anyone's bad at this, it's Shen Ge. I'm not bad either, who are you insulting!" "Who are you calling bad?"

Suddenly a cold voice rang out from behind, and Qi Yu was instantly struck as if by a pressure point.

The next second, his tie was wrapped around him, and he was lifted up along with his entire body.

Xiao Shen smiled slyly, "Repeat what you just said, who's the weakling?"

Qi Yu hurriedly explained, "No, Brother Shen, let me explain. I was just joking with Lao Du. Actually, I..."

"Manager Chen, arrange two male escorts to serve my brother well tonight. If they're not satisfied, I'll shred your club!"

"Yes, Fourth Master, rest assured, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Qi Yu struggled desperately in terror, but could only be dragged away mercilessly. "Holy crap, Brother Shen, are you serious? I have hemorrhoids, I can't handle men, give it to Lao Du, Lao Du, save me! Haozi, help me..."

Song Hao, standing to the side, shook his head, feeling both sympathy and helplessness.

Alas! What a sin!
Why did you suddenly start criticizing Fourth Master, saying he was bad at his job?
Have you stirred up a hornet's nest?
Upon returning, Nan Wu immediately met with Du Lin again.

Du Lin stared at his newly discovered treasure, feeling both regret and helplessness. "Tell me, how did you end up as Brother Shen's woman? Sigh! Heaven is so unfair! If I had known, I should have secretly hidden you away and enjoyed you slowly. Now look what's happened, you're being watched by me with such eyes!"

If it weren't for Xiao Shen, Nan Wu would never have known that this seemingly refined man actually had such unusual tastes.

However, unlike other men, Du Lin's perversion was open and aboveboard, without any sense of disgust or aversion.

"You and Fourth Master have a very close relationship?" Nan Wu asked without hesitation.

Du Lin slowly stroked the Scottish Fold cat in his arms. The little guy seemed to enjoy his gentle caresses, half-closing his eyes and curling up obediently, as if he was about to fall asleep comfortably at any moment.

"Tie, we've done everything we were supposed to do, except we haven't slept!"

Nan Wu was drinking water when she heard this, and she spat it back into the cup.

Well, this damn innocent friendship... Men really do get shameless and unrestrained when they get wild.

"I won't hold it against you for revealing that I sold my house to him. Ignorance is no excuse. But what else did you tell him?"

Du Lin shrugged. "Do I look like such a boring person?"

Nan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for keeping this a secret!"

"So, isn't it my turn to ask you now?"

Nan Wu knew that Du Lin was not so easy to deal with.

"How did you meet Brother Shen? Did you really sleep with him? How many times? Did he give you his virginity?"

Nan Wu: "..."

This is nothing.

"I... well, it's a long story, a private matter, I'm sorry, I can't tell you!"
