Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 47 might be a stray cat.

Suddenly, the other person opened his eyes. Nan Wu was caught off guard and startled. Just as she was about to get up, her wrist was pulled, and she fell onto that hard and firm chest.

"You took advantage of me while I was asleep, how much do you want to do that?"

Nan Wu explained earnestly, "Fourth Master, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to get the room key. You sleep here, and I'll go sleep in your room!"

"You dislike me?" Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow.

The smell of alcohol on his breath wasn't unpleasant; it was faint, mixed with the smell of tobacco, and actually gave off a feeling of being overwhelmed with hormones.

Nan Wu pouted, looking aggrieved. "How could that be? I was just worried about disturbing your rest, oh dear..."

A hand slipped inside her skirt; it was icy cold, which made her shudder.

"Take off your clothes!" Xiao Shen's dark eyes narrowed slightly as he uttered a few words in a light yet commanding tone.

Nan Wu was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

"How about I help you?"

Nan Wu swallowed hard.

He's already in this terrible state, and he's still thinking about that kind of thing? Doesn't he worry about straining himself to the point of splitting his legs and ending up with a lifelong disability, permanently impotent?

"Fourth Master, how about... we go to your room? I'm worried that if someone comes over later, I..."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Xiao Wu, it's me, open the door!"

Holy crap! What I feared most has come to pass!
Nan Wu really hated her own mouth; was it perhaps blessed?
"It's Xiao Jiayang, Fourth Master! You'd better hide!"

In an instant, she seemed to be given infinite power, and she dragged Xiao Shen out of bed and searched the room for a place to stuff him in.

Xiao Shen's expression was cold and ruthless. "Are you mistaken? Why should I hide? If he sees it, he sees it. It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so it saves me the trouble!"

"My dear Fourth Master, I'm begging you, please? Just this once, I promise!"

"Xiao Wu? Open the door quickly!"

There was really no room in this small plot of land, and there wasn't enough time. Nan Wu pulled open the bathroom door and pushed Xiao Shen inside.

Xiao Shen refused, gritting his teeth with a half-smile, "Nan Wu, are you looking for death?"

Nan Wu clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Please, don't worry, I won't let Fourth Master stay here for too long. I'll find a reason to send him away in a bit, please!"

Seeing that she was so anxious that she couldn't hold back her tears, Xiao Shen softened. "Alright, I'll trust you this once. You two better be careful out there, or don't blame me for my bad temper!"

Nanwu wished she could kowtow to him in gratitude.

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking on the door grew louder. "Xiao Wu, Xiao..."

"Jiayang, why are you here so late?" Nan Wu opened the door and pretended to yawn, looking sleepy.

Xiao Jiayang pushed her aside and went inside, circling the room. "What are you dawdling about? Why haven't you opened the door yet?"

Nan Wu glanced guiltily at the bathroom door. "They were all asleep, they didn't hear me!"

Seeing that nothing was amiss, Xiao Jiayang finally dismissed his suspicions.

Let me tell you, she wouldn't dare to cheat on him with another man even if she had ten lives, especially since they were on a business trip and their rooms were so close together. She'd have to be crazy to do that.

In an instant, Xiao Jiayang's expression changed, and he smiled gently, "I'm sorry, Xiao Wan, I woke you up. Actually, I came here to apologize to you!"

Nanwu, who was pouring water with her back to him, gave a slight sneer.

"After I got back yesterday, I thought about it and realized I was wrong. I shouldn't have pressured you so much. You're right, these things are more meaningful on our wedding night. I should have respected your wishes. I'm sorry, I was too hasty, Xiaowu, I apologize!"

Nan Wu was even better at acting than him. "Really, it's not necessary, Jia Yang. You're overthinking it. I'm not angry. Let's just let this go!" "Okay, let's let it go. By the way, Xiao Wu, to make amends to you, I specially asked the hotel to prepare some local delicacies. We haven't sat down and chatted together in a long time. You don't mind, do you?"

Nan Wu grinned: Would it matter if I minded?

No sooner had he finished speaking than a waiter came pushing a food cart to deliver the meal.

Xiao Jiayang personally opened the red wine and slowly poured it into a wine glass. "Xiao Wu, we're getting married soon. I hope we can trust each other. It's okay if you don't like me. I'm confident I can make you fall in love with me..."

Nan Wu's attention was entirely focused on the bathroom; she couldn't hear a word of Xiao Jiayang's rambling.

Seeing the shadowy figure swaying behind the glass door, she clenched her fists and gasped for breath.

It wasn't until Xiao Jiayang interrupted her, "Lai Xiaowu, I was immature before. From now on, let's get along well and be loving and affectionate, okay?"

Xiao Jiayang was very good at disguising himself. Although his current servility was just a mask, Nan Wu still couldn't openly confront him.

She came with a main quest, not to actually fall in love. Who cares who loves whom? She'll be off as soon as the wedding is over.

With a glass of red wine shoved into his hand, Xiao Jiayang had already raised his glass. Nan Wu couldn't refuse; it was just one glass, it wouldn't interfere with anything important.

"Boom!"

The two glasses clinked together.

Xiao Jiayang downed his drink in one gulp and showed the cup upside down to Nan Wu, saying, "Xiao Wu, whether you really want to marry me depends on this one drink. Don't disappoint me!"

Nan Wu didn't mean anything by it; she just wanted to finish her drink quickly and get rid of him. Otherwise, if that guy in the bathroom suddenly jumped out, it wouldn't be a joke.

As she slowly raised her wine glass, a sinister glint flashed in Xiao Jiayang's eyes.

"Boom!"

Just as the wine glass was brought to her lips, a sudden noise came from the bathroom. Startled, Nan Wu dropped the glass, spilling the red liquid all over the wool blanket, where it quickly disappeared.

"What's that sound? Is someone in the bathroom?" Xiao Jiayang looked warily toward the bathroom.

Seeing him about to get up, Nanwu nervously pressed him down, "Oh, it might be a stray cat!"

"wildcat?"

"It's from the hotel's backyard. It climbed in through the drainpipe yesterday. It's fine, don't worry about it!"

Nan Wu explained naturally and calmly, but Xiao Jiayang was still skeptical. Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing the guilty look on his face after he looked at the caller ID, Nanwu guessed who it was.

"Jiayang, you answer the phone first, I'm going to the restroom!"

Xiao Jiayang couldn't be happier, otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak freely with Jiang Rourou.

The restroom and bathroom were in the same room, and Nanwu quickly locked the door as soon as she entered.

Xiao Shen leaned lazily against the pool, his fingertips twirling the lace panties that were drying there.

"If Xiao Jiayang knew that what was hiding in your bathroom wasn't a stray cat, but a wild man, what do you think his reaction would be?"

He curled his lips into a wicked and unrestrained smile, as if he couldn't wait to see this good show.

Nan Wu didn't have time to pay attention to any of that; her face flushed red as she tried to grab her underwear.

Taking advantage of his height, Xiao Shen casually raised his arm and easily dodged her. He whispered in her ear, his voice as soft as feathers brushing against her skin, "Next time you leave this thing lying around in a place like this and another man sees it, I'll make sure you can never wear it again, understand?"

"Yes, Fourth Master, I promise I won't!"

She had figured out Xiao Shen's personality. If you go along with him and coax him, whether he would fall for it or not, at least he wouldn't act crazy anymore.

Once this man goes mad, he can turn the whole world upside down.
