Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 78 Fear Engraved in the Bone
He was philandering with other women, and she could tolerate and understand his messy relationship with Jiang Rourou, which showed that she truly loved him. She really went to great lengths to prove his sincerity towards her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiayang felt a great sense of superiority. He never expected that he could be so infatuated with Nan Wu.

Once he understood what had happened, he pulled Nan Wu into his arms with a heavy heart, rubbing her shoulders and apologizing gently, "Xiao Wu, you silly woman, you could have just told me what was wrong. Why go through all this trouble and torture yourself? You scared me to death! I really thought you... Never mind, never mind, don't do that again!"

"I'll be frank, I do have frequent contact with women outside, but it's for work and unavoidable. As for the perfume you mentioned, it was my oversight. I'll be more careful in the future and make sure to consider your feelings!"

In short, he just won't admit to having affairs with women.

Nan Wu stepped aside and considerately straightened his buttons. "I know that you and those women are just playing around, while I am the future eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family. I understand! Don't worry, I won't make a scene or interfere with you. As long as you have me in your heart, that's enough!"

Xiao Jiayang was deeply moved and hugged her tightly. "Xiao Wu, you are so understanding! Don't worry, after we get married, I will definitely treat you well!"

Nan Wu curled her lip in disgust.

Scumbag!

A few minutes later.

"Jiayang, you don't seem to be doing well lately. Don't put so much pressure on yourself at work. I'll make you some soup when I have time!"

"Let the maid do it, otherwise I'll feel bad for you!"

Nan Wu and Xiao Jiayang came downstairs side by side, showing concern for each other, which left Jiang Rourou bewildered and resentful.

"Rou Rou, didn't you say that Young Master Xiao would definitely dump Nan Wu today? What happened?"

Jiang Rourou almost bit her lips raw. "How should I know? What happened? It shouldn't be like this!"

The old residence of the Xiao family.

"Jiayang, your wedding room is being decorated. Take a look when you have time and see if there's anything that's not right, then make some changes!" Chen Wanru was pruning the flowers as usual when she saw her son come down and casually reminded him.

Xiao Jiayang yawned, looking listless as if his yang energy had been drained.

Things are different now. Besides feeding himself, he also has to deal with Jiang Rourou. To be honest, he's had his fill of Jiang Rourou. He'll find a chance to dump her later.

How can a person eat the same type of meat every day?
"Mom, I'm very busy with work. My fourth uncle's people have been watching me closely lately, not allowing me to make even the slightest mistake. I'm already having a hard time, and you're giving me such a trivial task. Are you trying to kill me with work? Just let Xiao Wu handle it!" Upon hearing this, Chen Wanru threw down the scissors in her hand. "Who is Nan Wu? She hasn't even entered our family yet. How can I let her make decisions for me? Also, your grandfather heard somewhere the other day that you were messing around outside. I don't care if you're still doing it now, you'd better clean it up quickly, or you won't even be able to stay in the Xiao family!"

Xiao Jiayang said impatiently, "I know, I know!"

"Wait a minute!" Chen Wanru walked around to face him, removed his hand from his face, and saw the several bloody marks on his face. She asked in shock, "What happened to your face?"

Xiao Jiayang was too embarrassed to admit that he had been grabbed by a woman; that would be too shameful. He said it was an accident and quickly slipped away.

Did you sneak it on yourself? Chen Wanru seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiao Jiayang ran into Xiao Shen, who was also on his way to the company, in the garage. Like a student meeting the headmaster, he immediately stood up straight, his back tense, and respectfully called out, "Fourth Uncle."

There's no way around it; it's a fear etched into our DNA.

Xiao Shen hummed in response, his steps abruptly halting as he turned back, his sharp gaze falling on Xiao Shen's face.

Before he could ask, Xiao Jiayang touched his face and enthusiastically explained, "Oh, I just accidentally scratched myself. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all!"

Xiao Shen smiled kindly, and Xiao Jiayang, unaware of the situation, also smiled in return.

He patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, bent down and got into the car, and quickly disappeared into the garage.

Xiao Jiayang straightened up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Oh my god! That scared him to death!

But what exactly did Uncle Si's smile mean?
Xiao Group.

"Brother Shen, we've investigated. Miss Nan has no connection with the Qian family, and she doesn't know Qian Ke'er very well!" Song Hao reported from the side.

Xiao Shen remained expressionless for a moment, then said, "Call Nan Wu over!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Shen narrowed his eyes, feeling that this matter was not so simple.

That night, Qian Ke'er caused a huge commotion at the club. Nan Wu, who was always passive, suddenly became so proactive. He didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Nan Wu was working peacefully at the company when Xiao Shen called her over.

She couldn't refuse, after all, that old man was prone to acting crazy, and she didn't have the guts. After becoming his mistress, he had food, drink, and money, but she was left with nothing but criticism and being dismissed at will, and the worst part was that she had to smile and beg him to leave.

He dropped the job and quickly drove to the Xiao Group to meet someone.

"Fourth Master!"

Composing herself, Nan Wu knocked on the door of the president's office.

The leather swivel chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window slowly turned around. The man wore a navy blue shirt with black trousers, and his Montblanc metal belt buckle gleamed with a sophisticated luster in the light and shadow.

The Bulgari watch worth millions on his wrist was understated yet exuded a refined elegance that was hard to look away from.

Xiao Shen's face is stunning, his temperament is captivating, and his physique is alluring. He is like a rare beauty who has fallen from the sky, and is hard to come by.

Nan Wu admitted that giving her virginity to such a man wasn't too much of a failure; at least she had defeated 99 percent of the women in Ningcheng.

"Here you are!" Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow slightly, still with that lazy and arrogant look.

"The injuries on Xiao Jiayang's face are your doing, aren't they?"

The man got up, walked to the liquor cabinet, pulled out a bottle, and poured two glasses.

The amber-colored liquid exudes a rich fragrance that can be detected from a distance, much like the cologne he wears, possessing a fatal allure.

Nan Wu glanced down at it before reaching out to take it, "Cough! It was an accidental injury!"

She wasn't sure what Xiao Shen's attitude was, so she could only give a conservative answer.

What if he feels sorry for his nephew and confronts her about it?
It's better to leave yourself a way out.

Xiao Shen gently swirled his wine glass, tilting his head to gaze at her with a smile, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes. "He touched you?"

Nan Wu was taken aback, then told the truth, "It didn't work!"

The man's eyes flickered slightly, giving her a false sense of relief.

Boom!
He clinked glasses with hers, tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, then said, "Well done, keep it up next time!"

Nan Wu choked up and looked up at him.

What do you mean?
Give her your full support and don't blame her, okay?
Wait, isn't he Xiao Jiayang's fourth uncle, his biological uncle? How could this be?
