Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Who is that man? 2
Xia Xiaonuan was also taken aback and looked up at Nangong Yaoling. The look in his eyes seemed to burn even more intensely.
Her heart started to race for no reason, and she quickly withdrew her hand, blushing. "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..."
But her hand was grabbed by the man and placed back in its original position.
"Baby, you’re so passionate, it’s unbearable."
Xia Xiaonuan suddenly exerted force. The man cried out in pain, and she took the opportunity to get up and escape.
"Xia Xiaonuan——!" A deep curse came from behind.

In the evening, Xia Xiaonuan received a call from Nangong Yaoling.
"Baby, did you just wake up? Did you sleep well?"
Xia Xiaonuan really wanted to smash the phone but forced herself to restrain her anger. She kept it brief and to the point: "If you have something to say, hurry up and say it!"
There was a brief moment of silence.
"Honey... it’s my fault. I’ve been spending a lot of time with you lately. Does it hurt? I’ll apply some ointment for you when I get home," he teased.
"That’s not necessary...! Do you actually have something to say?" This man was definitely doing it on purpose.
Xia Xiaonuan felt she could lose control and throw the phone downstairs at any moment.
"Get ready. I’m sending someone to pick you up shortly."
"What? Where are we going?"
"To a banquet," Nangong Yaoling said indifferently.
"I’m not going. Find someone else!" Xia Xiaonuan said coldly and hung up the phone with a "click".
A few seconds later, the phone rang again.
Xia Xiaonuan refused to answer.
The phone kept ringing, and even the phone downstairs started ringing.
Yun ran upstairs, knocking on the door and saying, "Miss, Young Master wants you to answer the phone..."
Xia Xiaonuan buried herself under the covers, on the verge of breaking down.
The phone rang again. She reluctantly answered, and a cold voice came through before she could speak:
"Xia Xiaonuan, I’m giving you twenty minutes to get ready. Make sure you look beautiful. If you’re not ready by then, I’ll have you carried out, even if you’re naked!" He hung up the phone first, leaving her with the dial tone.
Xia Xiaonuan grabbed her hair in frustration.
She was on the verge of breakdown! Oh God, what did I do wrong? Why did you make me become someone else?
Why did you make me become the wife of this perverted man?
Ahhh...
She knew that with Nangong Yaoling’s personality, he would definitely follow through on his words.
She had experienced the consequences of offending him in the past few days.
So, she had no choice but to grudgingly step into the walk-in closet.
Xia Xiaonuan’s walk-in closet was several times larger than the house she used to rent!
It was filled with designer dresses, bags, and accessories.
It was a dazzling array, with everything you could possibly want.
So this is how the upper class lives, but she couldn’t handle it at all!
She randomly picked a dress, high heels, and a matching handbag of the same color. During her university years, she had many part-time jobs, one of which was at an image design studio.
So fashion coordination was not a problem for her.
By the time Xia Xiaonuan was ready, Yun was already knocking on the door, saying that Nangong Yaoling was waiting for her downstairs.
Xia Xiaonuan looked at the clock. Sure enough, it was exactly twenty minutes, not a minute more nor less!
She picked up a beige handbag and went downstairs, stepping out the door to find Nangong Yaoling’s car parked outside the villa. He wasn’t driving himself but was seated in the back.
The driver saw her and quickly got out, respectfully opening the door for her, carefully shielding her head with his hand.
