Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 68 Your life was given to you by me

"No, no, how could that be?" Nan Wu denied and questioned repeatedly, fearing that she would be misunderstood.

Just then, the strawberry pudding she ordered arrived, and Nanwu pushed it towards her, saying, "Try it! This is the best strawberry pudding I've ever had!"

Xiao Ruonan was eager to try it and ate without any hesitation.

Noticing a gaze fixed on her, Nanwu looked up. Ah Lie stood tall and straight, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Could it be that she's being too sensitive?

"I almost forgot the important thing, Miss Nan, I came to deliver this to you, here!"

It was the lipstick that Nan Wu had left in Xiao Ruonan's room. She had said she couldn't find it when she went back, and now she realized it was here.

Nan Wu stuffed it back into her bag, "Fifth Aunt, you're too kind. You really didn't need to make this trip yourself!"

"What 'Fifth Aunt'? You're making me sound old. I don't like it! Humph! Call me by my name next time, or I'll get angry!" Xiao Ruonan pretended to be angry, hands on her hips.

This amused Nan Wu, who exclaimed, "Alright, alright, Ruonan!"

Xiao Ruonan was overjoyed and ate all the strawberry pudding in one go.

The two chatted for a few more minutes. Nan Wu still had work to do, so she watched Xiao Ruonan get into the car and leave before returning to her company.

The old residence of the Xiao family.

Xiao Ruonan's car was parked steadily in the garage.

"I'm tired, I can't walk anymore!"

Miss Wu raised her arm, and Ah Lie went around it, bent down and carried her in a princess carry.

She stretched out her arms and hooked them around his neck, her high heels swaying gently with each step.

Her residence was in the East Garden, which was different from the second and third wives' residences, making it quieter and more peaceful.

Ah Lie placed her on a chair, knelt down on one knee, and took off her shoes one by one, his movements serious and efficient. Then he carried her to the sofa.

Xiao Ruonan lifted her feet up and said, "My feet hurt, give me a massage!"

Ah Lie looked at her for a few seconds, then squatted down again, lifted her feet and placed them on his knees. His palms were broad and calloused, and to be honest, they didn't feel very nice to the touch.

He looks like a rugged man, but his kneading technique is so skillful that it makes you overlook the roughness.

The girl's feet were white and tender, like seashells, while the man's hands were wheat-colored, with prominent veins on the back of his hands and distinct knuckles.

One is black, one is white; one is soft, one is hard—the contrast is striking.

Xiao Ruonan leaned back on the sofa, enjoying the view, and squinted her eyes. "You've taken a fancy to Miss Nan?"

Alie paused slightly and said in a deep voice, "No!"

"Come on! You're so arrogant, don't think I don't know!"

Seeing Ah Lie continue with his work with his head down, offering no further explanation, Xiao Ruonan, for some unknown reason, felt a surge of anger and kicked him.

A-Lie was caught off guard and sat down on the ground, getting kicked in the groin. He frowned and let out a muffled groan.

"Your Majesty!"

Ah Lie accepted the order and knelt down on both knees.

"Do you know what you did wrong?" Xiao Ruonan leaned closer, her gentle voice carrying a hidden ruthlessness.

"You shouldn't look at other women!"

Xiao Ruonan was satisfied, her slender fingers stroking his cheek. "You're smart!"

"Who is Miss Nan? And what is your status? Even if you fancy her, what good is it? In other people's eyes, you're nothing but a servant! Don't forget, I gave you your life. Do you remember what you said?"

Ah Lie pursed his lips, his eyes filled with painful memories. "I remember! I swear to be loyal to Fifth Miss to the death!"

Xiao Ruonan leaned back and looked down at him comfortably. "That's right! You, remember this: if you want to look, you can only look at me. Your world revolves around me. You live for me, and you die for me. I can save your life, and I can take your life, understand?"

"Understood!" Xiao Ruonan yawned lazily. "Alright, go and run me some hot water!"

"Yes!" Ah Lie got up from the ground.

The sound of water soon came from the bathroom. Before the tub was even full, Xiao Ruonan went in barefoot.

She sat on the edge, bending over and splashing the water, her long, smooth hair cascading down her shoulders, flowing into her heart like the water itself.

The next second, she got up and took off her clothes one by one.

Ah Lie turned his back as usual.

"Wait!" Xiao Ruonan called out to him, "You should keep it this time. It would be too much trouble for me to keep going in and out if I need help later!"

Ah Lie hesitated for a few seconds, but finally accepted the order unconditionally, "Yes, Fifth Miss!"

Xiao Group.

"So, how's your relationship with Miss Nan going lately?"

"Was she really the first woman you slept with?"

"No way? It's already over? Well, after all, your relationship... isn't easy to handle. If word gets out, that would be terrible..."

Snapped!
Xiao Shen slammed a glass of water on the table, splashing water everywhere. Qi Yu couldn't avoid it and got his pants soaked.

You could have spilled it anywhere else, but it had to fall on your crotch, and now look what you've done.

"You rented this, are you in a hurry to return it?"

Qi Yu chuckled, "Brother, I'm just concerned about your manhood. Look, how can I not care about Lao Du? Because he's not a normal man. You're different, you're getting on in years and still haven't found a wife. I'm worried for you!"

Xiao Shen glanced at him with a half-smile, "In a hurry? Fine, then you can make do with me!"

"Holy crap! Brother Shen, have you reached the point of being bisexual?" Qi Yu suddenly realized something, covered his mouth, and looked horrified. "No, could it be that you and Song Hao, you two..."

"If you keep using your imagination, I'll pry your head open and see what kind of nonsense is inside!"

Luckily, Qi Yu reacted quickly, tilting his head to avoid the cushion his good friend threw at him.

He picked it up, tossed it a few times in the air, and threw it back into place, laughing in a ridiculous way. "Don't even mention it, if it really comes to that, I'm willing to sacrifice myself and give you a good spanking. How about that? Am I loyal enough?"

Xiao Shen scoffed, "What an idiot!"

The two chatted for a while, when suddenly Qi Yu held up his phone and leaned over, exclaiming, "Holy crap! Look, Brother Shen, it's your girl!"

"He's got great charisma, and he plays the piano quite well too!"

"To be honest, Brother Shen, you have good taste. Miss Nan is beautiful, has a great temperament, and is so artistic. No wonder even Old Du cherishes her. Making her your nephew's wife is like letting a good cabbage go to a pig!"

"Brother Shen? Brother Shen..."

Xiao Shen raised his eyelids, his killing intent palpable.

Qi Yu made a zipper-sealing motion over his mouth, consciously shutting up.

The video was edited, and the background was a birthday party. The woman in the video was the same woman they had just been talking about, Nan Wu.

The gist of the story is that Nan Wu was forced to attend the party and then forced to play the piano for everyone. She made a bet with Jiang Rourou and won 100,000 yuan.

The picture quality is high-definition and the sound quality is excellent. Every frame that falls into Xiao Shen's eyes stirs up quite a wave.

This family... is interesting, truly interesting!

Xiao Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a smile curving his lips.

"Where did it come from?"

"Oh, this was posted by a friend's cousin. Should I ask her what happened?" Qi Yu felt that his chance to shine had come.

Xiao Shen smiled kindly, "I'm asking where you're from."
