Chapter 116: Chapter 116: The Four Tigresses of the Xiao Family (2)

Gu Nuan could feel that the other person’s gaze clearly wanted to rip the bones from her body, strip her skin, and expose her true self, which might just be that of a seductive fox spirit.

Because, judging solely by Gu Nuan’s attire, she appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary corporate employee.

Now tell me, when an ordinary company employee spends the night with the boss’s son, if it’s not seduction, if it’s not a toad lusting after a swan’s meat, if it’s not a sparrow transforming into a phoenix, then what could it be?

All it lacked were three words bursting from Xiao Shulan’s mouth, calling her—shameless!

Of course, Gu Nuan thought that if Xiao Shulan were truly worried her brother was being seduced by a fox spirit, she would have been even more anxious.

Xiao Shulan’s demeanor clearly seemed as if she was reluctant to reveal the truth to her face. Her hesitant lips seemed to be weighing the pros and cons, thus she was filled with hesitation and planning, rather than taking the trouble to ask in tension and concern.

"Yebai, this lady is—," Xiao Shulan seemed to have thought it through, her bright red lips slightly curling up as she tried to squeeze out a semblance of warmth in a kin’s smile, and said to her brother Xiao Yebai, "You two roaming the hospital in the middle of the night, don’t you think you owe your family an explanation? Does this young lady’s family know she’s with you at this hour?"

Indeed, she was a woman skilled in speech, a worldly woman; in one sentence, she had her parents concerned about whether their daughter was led astray by a man. At the same time, she indirectly wanted to establish that Gu Nuan was morally compromised and not a decent woman.

Xiao Yebai indifferently wrapped an arm around Gu Nuan’s shoulder, the others had seen what there was to see, and he said openly, "Second Sister, as you said, we are dating. She had a fever, so I brought her to the family hospital to check on her. Indeed, I wasn’t aware of my brother-in-law’s hospitalization, otherwise, next time I’d bring her and a bouquet of fresh flowers to visit your hospitalized husband."

Pfft, no fruits, only fresh flowers? As if they were for the deceased?

Gu Nuan couldn’t help but think that this brother’s mouth was quite venomous.

Xiao Shulan’s complexion looked somewhat unpleasant in an instant—how could she possibly allow them to come and go, visiting her husband together? That would mean she tacitly acknowledged their relationship.

That was absolutely impossible!

The message in Xiao Shulan’s eyes towards Gu Nuan was a severe warning: If you know what’s good for you, get lost far away!

Perhaps it was that look that infuriated Gu Nuan.

Get lost? Gu Nuan hadn’t done anything atrocious, so just because you’re rich and I’m poor, I should be told to scram?

"Second Sister," Gu Nuan suddenly broke her previous silence.

Xiao Shulan’s face turned almost green in an instant.

Second Sister? She hadn’t admitted anything at all!

Better leave quickly. Otherwise, she’d be entangled with this tart cotton candy and wouldn’t be able to clear her name even by jumping into the Yellow River.

Xiao Shulan said to the driver, "Let’s take another elevator."

To say such a thing in front of her own brother?

Gu Nuan frowned—the disdain from the other party was one thing, but after all, Xiao Yebai was her own dear brother, wasn’t he?

Xiao Shulan and the driver entered another elevator.

Seeing that they were gone, Gu Nuan whispered to the man beside her, whose tension resembled a drawn bow, "You’re holding my hand too tightly."

Xiao Yebai hesitated, then looked down, finally noticing that he was holding her hand—not realizing how tightly he had been gripping it.

When he suddenly released her hand, one could clearly see the reddish blue marks spreading all over the back of her fingers.

Instantly pained, he lifted her hand, blowing on it as he reproached, "Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"
