Chapter 2556 - 2557: You’re Just Worried About Me, Aren’t You?

Gu Mian was helpless, already knowing it was a trap, but she had no choice but to jump in. So she nodded, "Okay, but I have to work overtime tomorrow. There’s a foreign delegation I need to host; can we reschedule for the weekend?"

Nangong Yue immediately agreed without hesitation and said to Li Hui, "Your daughter-in-law is quite busy with work and can’t make it tomorrow, let’s do it on the weekend."

On the other end of the phone, Li Hui was all smiles and immediately said, "Alright, alright, alright, let’s do the weekend. I’ll prepare properly. Okay, I’ll hang up now; won’t disturb you two! Nangong Yue, you better take good care of your wife, it’s not easy to trick her; treasure her while you can!"

Nangong Yue held his forehead, speechless looking at the sky, "Yes, Mom, I know, don’t worry."

After hanging up, Gu Mian couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What did your mom say to make you look like that?"

Earlier, Nangong Professor’s face looked so adorably handsome!

"Uh." Nangong Yue thought for a moment and finally said frankly, "My mom said you were tricked into coming, and I should treasure you."

Gu Mian’s eyes widened, almost wanting to give Li Hui a thumbs up!

"Your mom speaks the truth!" Gu Mian couldn’t help but add, "You really did trick me!"

She wondered why she was so naive?

Turns out the longest road she’s walked was Nangong Professor’s routine!

"I didn’t." Nangong Yue defended himself, "Mianmian, I didn’t trick you, I call it a smart move."

Gu Mian: "..."

"Smart move my foot, you just played dirty to get me!" Gu Mian couldn’t help but get a little angry and raised her fists to hit him.

Who knew he would dodge, making Gu Mian stomp her feet in frustration, "If you’re so brave, don’t run!"

"Honey." Nangong Yue looked innocent, "I really did outsmart you."

"Outsmart my ass!" Gu Mian snapped back, resorting to foul language and chased after Nangong Yue to hit him.

Nangong Yue wasn’t foolish, he started jogging away, and the two ran and chased each other so happily.

But Gu Mian couldn’t catch Nangong Yue and became frustrated, seeing her truly angry, Nangong Yue quickly stopped running, offered himself up, stretching out his hand, "Mianmian, don’t be mad, you can hit me."

Gu Mian pouted and glared at him, "Hmph, I won’t stoop to your level, hitting you would hurt my hand!"

"Are you heartache?" Nangong Yue shamelessly leaned forward.

Gu Mian: "..."

Oh my God, she never realized Nangong Professor was so shameless before!

Why does Nangong Yue have Nangong Jin’s potential, it’s so awkward.

Gu Mian was so flustered by his shamelessness that she couldn’t speak, her face flushed red, and retorted, "No, you overthink!"

"I didn’t overthink; Mianmian, your face is red!" Nangong Yue said as he scooped her up horizontally, solidly in a princess carry.

"Ah..." Gu Mian, caught off guard, let out a startled cry, instinctively holding onto his neck tightly.

By the time she realized it, she was already snugly cradled in his arms.

Growing up, she had never been carried like a princess, and suddenly felt a warm and curious sensation.

Maybe sometimes all it takes is to meet the right person at the right time, even if you didn’t like them at first, you can grow to like them, can’t you?

At least now, she didn’t reject the feeling of being with Nangong Yue at all, and in fact, this feeling gave her a little urge to fall in love.
