Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 9 was affected and will be used next time.
"Oh? It's Rou Rou? It's not a holiday or festival, you should just say you want a red envelope, what are you doing?" Nan Wu suppressed a laugh and pretended to be surprised.

Nan Dongxue ran over and helped Jiang Rourou up with a pained expression. "Rourou, did you hurt yourself? Should we call a doctor?"

Jiang Rourou shook her head, feeling wronged, tears streaming down her face from the pain. "I just came to see if Dad had finished his tea and wanted to make you some more. I really wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation!"

Nan Wu stared at her with a smile, "Did I just say you were eavesdropping?"

"I..." Jiang Rourou stammered.

"Alright, alright, Xiaowu, you're the older sister, don't be so aggressive. Look how scared Rourou is!" Nan Dongxue scolded.

"Dad, are you blind? You can't even tell the difference between a guilty conscience and fear, but how can you be so accurate in distinguishing between a woman and a man!"

"You bastard! How dare you talk to me like that?" Nan Dongxue's face trembled with rage. "Get out of here right now!"

Nan Wu pouted, as if she really wanted to stay here.

Immediately afterwards, a voice drifted from behind, "You're in charge of following up on the Xiao family project. If you mess it up, come back and obediently be the eldest daughter of the Nan family!"

Nan Wu's lips twitched.

Old man, are you repaying kindness with enmity again?
"Alright, Rou Rou, stop crying. That's just how your sister is. Please bear with her!"

Jiang Rourou looked up at her, crying uncontrollably, "Dad, is there something I didn't do well enough? What do I have to do to make my sister like me?"

"Silly child, it's not your fault!" Nan Dongxue sighed helplessly, wiping away his daughter's tears. "You've suffered these past few years. Don't you really like the environment in the eastern suburbs? Dad will buy you a villa there, okay?"

Touched, Jiang Rourou rested her head on Nan Dongxue's shoulder. From an angle unseen by others, a glint of triumph flashed in her eyes...

Nan Wu had just finished showering when her phone chimed with a WeChat message.

Upon swiping, it turned out to be Xiao Shen's contact, with his name as the contact name and a black profile picture, just like his wild and mysterious temperament.

How come she doesn't remember when she added him as a friend?

Xiao Shen: [Apply the medicine on time, so it doesn't affect my next use!]

Nan Wu looked puzzled and subconsciously opened her handbag, where she found a tube of ointment about the size of her index finger.

When she saw the usage instructions marked on it, her face turned bright red.

Needless to say, there was definitely some tearing.

He's a savage!

and many more!

What do you mean by "next time"? Do they really have a next time?
You're using her as a tool to vent your frustrations, aren't you? Beautiful, but your dreams are even more beautiful!

He replied casually: "[I'm sorry, Fourth Master, you might have misunderstood. The previous two times were accidents. From now on... let's avoid any contact outside of work!]"

Xiao Shen's intrusion was an accident, and she couldn't let that accident continue. Otherwise, the plan would be difficult to carry out. Besides, this person was not someone to be trifled with, and there were too many things involved. Who knew if she would be bitten by him one day? It was better to keep her distance.

Very well, Xiao Shen didn't reply.

For the next three or four days, Nan Wu led her team to work on the project proposal and did not see Xiao Shen again.

However, the calm lasted only a few days.

On the occasion of the 80th birthday of the Xiao family patriarch, Nan Wu, as the future eldest grandson's wife of the Xiao family, was invited to attend. The Xiao family's old house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and was filled with joy.

Because the birthday banquet would be held at a hotel later, all those who came to the old house for the birthday banquet were members of the Xiao family.

Nan Wu couldn't exchange any pleasantries with these wealthy young men, and could only manage a few polite words. Desperate to remain invisible, she found a quiet place to rest, praying in her heart that she wouldn't run into Xiao Shen.

Suddenly, I felt a warmth on my shoulder; there was another hand there.

"Xiao Wu, you look so beautiful today!"

Nan Wu frowned and glanced at it, then turned away a second later. "Really? Thank you!" She's always been beautiful, do I need you to remind me?

Being deliberately avoided by his fiancée was incredibly humiliating, but Xiao Jiayang, seemingly good-natured, didn't get angry and patiently forced a smile. "It's too crowded and chaotic here. How about I show you around? You've been here several times but haven't had a proper look around. Our Xiao residence is huge!"

"Jiayang, Miss Nan!"

Nan Wu was just struggling to find an excuse to refuse when someone happened to appear at the right time.

The visitor was Lan Ruo, the second wife of the four sons of the Xiao family.

Wearing a sleeveless suit in a hazy blue color, she looked elegant and dignified. Nan Wu had a good impression of her; she was well-educated, virtuous, and kind, and could be considered the face of the Xiao family women.

"Second Aunt!"

"Second Aunt!"

Nan Wu and Xiao Jiayang called out in unison.

Lan Ruo smiled gently, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see if Miss Nan is available right now. I have to supervise the servants serving the food, and my eldest brother and the third brother's family are both extremely busy. I really couldn't find anyone, so I thought I'd trouble Miss Nan..."

"convenient!"

As if afraid that Xiao Jiayang would refuse, Nan Wu quickly agreed.

Let alone helping with this, I'd be willing to crawl on the floor and scrub the floor right now, as long as I'm not harassed by Xiao Jiayang.

Nan Wu lived up to expectations and completed the tasks assigned by Lan Ruo flawlessly, but she always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her closely.

In the silence, that gaze seemed to want to strip her naked in front of everyone.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she met Xiao Shen's dark eyes.

At that moment, he was smiling enigmatically, raising his glass to her from a distance.

Nan Wu was so frightened that she immediately turned around, pinching her palms to regain her composure.

Is this person crazy?
I threw a sanitary napkin in his face to make him laugh!
"Miss Nan, you've worked hard!" Lan Ruo walked over gracefully.

Nan Wu nodded, "You're welcome!"

An appreciative gaze swept over her, and the virtuous second wife said with satisfaction, "Our Jiayang is truly blessed to have married such a gentle and beautiful girl as Miss Nan. If Jiayang ever bullies you in the future, just tell your second aunt, and your second aunt will stand up for you!"

Nanwu was a little touched. "Thank you, Second Aunt!"

During the gift-giving ceremony, Nan Wu was truly amazed by the rare and precious gifts presented. Finally, the birthday banquet came to an end, but unexpectedly, Old Master Xiao made a statement.

"Everyone, please stay overnight. The guest rooms are ready!"

When Old Master Xiao spoke, everyone had no choice but to obey; even outsiders dared not contradict him.

Nan Wu could already see the determination on Xiao Jiayang's face. She felt a chill. If the two of them were in the same room tonight, she might be forced into a relationship by this guy.

It's okay, she was prepared.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the door, Nan Wu was pinned against the wall by that bastard Xiao Jiayang.

"Xiao Wu, you're finally mine! Hurry, I'm so impatient..."

"Wait!" Nan Wu pressed her palm against his lips as he leaned in. "I need to go to the restroom first!"

Seeing the sanitary napkin she was waving in her hand, Xiao Jiayang panicked, "Don't tell me you're on your period?"

We've been waiting for this day for so long, and it's finally here. We're just one step away from success, but then something unexpected happens at this crucial moment. Who could bear that?
"Ugh, it's ahead of schedule, how annoying!" Nan Wu feigned helplessness.
