Chapter 43

"Hmm?"

Xia Yuechan paused slightly upon hearing this, a look of confusion flashing across her eyes.

"Why?"

The very intelligent Xia Yuechan seemed to have picked up on something from Chu Nan's expression.

"Is it... that during the time I was away, you and Xiao Ru had some kind of conflict?"

"Uh..." Chu Nan gave a dry laugh, "Sort of. ...Really, nothing escapes Miss Xia's keen eyes."

"Don't flatter me, I don't buy that stuff." Xia Yuechan knew she had guessed correctly and said lightly, "Specifically... what was it about?"

"Uh... this..."

Chu Nan found it really hard to say.

At this moment, Li Mengru's door, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened with a "click," and Li Mengru quickly walked out.

"Ah! —— Sister Yuechan, you're back, I missed you so much!~~~"

Li Mengru, as if nothing had happened, threw herself into Xia Yuechan's arms.

In the next second, a scene almost made Chu Nan's nose bleed.

Xia Yuechan, who had just returned, still had a weary look about her. She casually took off her coat and was now only wearing a white fitted shirt. The weather was a bit hot, so Xia Yuechan had unbuttoned the top two buttons of her shirt, revealing a faint, tantalizing cleavage. Chu Nan had really been trying his best to speak to Xia Yuechan with a completely pure gaze and attitude.

But...

Li Mengru buried her head in Xia Yuechan's beautiful bosom and rubbed her little head against it, causing Xia Yuechan's soft and elastic "bunnies" to be squeezed and deformed...

In that instant... Chu Nan really regretted scolding Li Mengru earlier!

Oh no, what did I do before? If I continue working here, won't I almost see such a fragrant and alluring free show every day? Did I just give up such an invigorating job?

However...

What Chu Nan was truly concerned about at this moment... was Li Mengru's attitude.

He thought that when Xia Yuechan returned, Li Mengru would immediately rush over to cry and complain to Xia Yuechan, and naturally, he, Chu Nan, would be driven away. But... just now, Li Mengru had come out of her room with joy, without a trace of gloom!

What exactly happened just now?

Could it be that my warning to this little girl really worked??

...In fact, Chu Nan didn't know that the reason Li Mengru seemed like a completely different person was mainly because she had made up her mind. — A silent challenge.

She — was determined to fight Chu Nan to the end!!

An hour ago.

Li Mengru, feeling very wronged, called her grandfather Li Badao and angrily recounted all of Chu Nan's misdeeds.

But... Li Mengru never imagined that the scoundrel she had been cursing for nearly half an hour was actually her grandfather's chosen future husband for her!!

So, after pretending to chat with his beloved granddaughter for a while, Li Badao said, "But, wasn't he recommended by Uncle Zhao? Uncle Zhao told me that this young man named Chu Nan is quite good, maybe there was a misunderstanding between you two. Hehe, Xiao Ru, you're so grown up now, don't be so capricious, okay? Be more tolerant of others, after all, he saved your life, he's a great benefactor of our Li family, understand? Alright, little girl, be a good girl, Grandpa has some things to do, I'll hang up now."

"Click."

He hung up without giving Li Mengru a chance to question or argue.

Originally, she had hoped that her grandfather would send someone to teach Chu Nan a lesson, but this time, she found to her dismay that her grandfather wasn't as indulgent and doting as before.

So, she took a deep breath and made up her mind — fine! This time, I'll fight this scoundrel on my own!

The calmer Li Mengru realized that if she told Xia Yuechan the truth and got him fired, she might never see this shameless, super perverted scoundrel again. If she couldn't see him, it would be hard to get her revenge.

So, Li Mengru was determined to "endure humiliation and bear grievances"!

Of course... Chu Nan had no idea about any of this. He had no clue what Li Mengru was thinking at this moment.

As a result, Chu Nan, holding his bowl of rice, looked at Li Mengru's smiling face and hesitated, feeling uneasy.

"Hehe, Sister Yuechan, this spicy fish head is really delicious!~~ Hey, scoundrel, why aren't you eating?" Li Mengru smiled at Chu Nan, but to Chu Nan, this sweet smile didn't look so good.

Damn, what is this little girl thinking?

"Xiao Ru, watch your words," Xia Yuechan subconsciously reminded her when she heard Li Mengru call Chu Nan a scoundrel.

Chu Nan, however, quickly interjected with a forced smile, "Hehe, it's fine."

"See, Sister Yuechan, the scoundrel said it's fine. Ah." Saying this, she took another bite of food.

Xia Yuechan, seeing Li Mengru wolf down her food, said helplessly, "Xiao Ru, eat slowly. — Chu Nan, what are you thinking? Why aren't you eating?"

"Oh... oh, nothing, just thinking about something. Hehe."

Chu Nan gave a dry laugh, looked at Li Mengru's smile, and ate a piece of beef with a complex mood.

At this moment, Xia Yuechan picked up a napkin and gently wiped her mouth, looking at Chu Nan and then at Li Mengru with a playful expression. After a while, she smiled slightly, as if thinking of something.

...

And at this moment, no one knew.

Outside the Yaryun Apartment, a car had been parked for a long time.

The man in the driver's seat, wearing sunglasses, made a call and said respectfully, "Young Master, a man has appeared in Miss Xia's apartment. I'm sure they are having dinner together, and the man cooked the dinner."

"..." There was a moment of silence on the other end, "Have you confirmed the man's identity?"

"Basically confirmed, he is a medical student at Jinghua University."

"Student?" A cold laugh came from the other end, "Hehe, Xia Yuechan, so this is your taste?"

After a slight pause, the voice instructed, "Keep watching."

"Yes, Young Master!"
