Chapter 42: Chapter 42: White Flower Snake and Crocodile (2)

Minister Li? Do you mean Li Sitong, who was outplayed by her in their last encounter?

Gu Nuan’s expression immediately turned solemn.

Seeing her become serious in an instant, Xiao Yebai curved the corner of his mouth. "Do you know why it’s not called the ’Finance Snake,’ but the ’Finance Crocodile’?"

Isn’t that obvious? How can a snake compare to a crocodile?

The crocodile, in fact, is the scariest creature in the world.

Because of its true ferocity and barbarity.

Just the thought of a crocodile instills more fear in people than any other animal, more so than being pounced on by a tiger or bitten by a venomous snake. It’s safe to say that, given a choice of how to die, no one would wish to die in the jaws of a crocodile, preferring instead the mouth of some other animal.

Xiao Yebai looked into the eyes of the woman before him, observing the slight contraction of her round pupils, the air around her began to fill with the scent of an imminent hunt.

Clearly, a crocodile’s seed must have taken root in her heart long ago.

He seemed to be able to foresee her growth.

No wonder Li Sitong was so wary of her. But, what he had just said to her wasn’t wrong. Based on her performance last time, at best, she could only be considered clever, not fierce, and on the contrary, there was still a hint of mercy in her actions. Therefore, Li Sitong believed that she could only be considered a snake, venomous, but not yet at the level of a crocodile.

However, if Li Sitong were to see her expression right now, what would he think? The thought alone was incredibly exciting.

Being with her was indeed a great pleasure.

He liked this flavor about her.

"What did you use for your bath?"

Gu Nuan had no idea how his mind jumped to her bathing habits all of a sudden.

"Soap. I didn’t use your shower gel here. It’s too fancy, and I was afraid of an allergic reaction."

Uh.

Too fancy, yet fears of an allergic reaction.

He chuckled softly.

Gu Nuan turned her face away, not intending to look at his childish behavior.

Then, Zang Xiaolian arrived, carrying the clothes he had ordered.

The doorbell chimed outside; Gu Nuan walked over, confirmed it was Zang Xiaolian through the peephole, and opened the door.

Zang Xiaolian, sweating profusely, did not forget to greet her: "Sister-in-law, hello."

"Come in," Gu Nuan said, stepping aside from the doorway.

What happened next surprised her.

Following behind Zang Xiaolian, the driver and Zang Xiaolian carried a large cardboard box into the apartment.

The box was so big, it looked like it could fit large appliances, such as full-sized disinfection cabinets. Gu Nuan couldn’t imagine how many clothes would have to be stuffed inside to fill it if it was meant for clothes, especially considering the current season’s summer wear, which is very light and thin, and would hardly fill such a large volume.

Consequently, the man who had presumptuously sent for clothes furrowed his brow at the sight of the box and said, "That’s all?!"

Zang Xiaolian was clearly startled by his words and stammered, "How much, second brother, was I supposed to get?"

"At least send five or six boxes. Didn’t I say they were for your sister-in-law to wear? How is she supposed to choose from so few clothes?"

So few? If she were to look and try them all on, she might spend the whole night and still not finish.

Gu Nuan finally lost her patience with the man’s childish actions. "You want to play because you have money, then play by yourself! I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, and I don’t have time to play with you!"

After speaking, she turned around and slammed the door with a bang.

Zang Xiaolian stared at her retreating figure in stunned silence, then turned back to look at Xiao Yebai.

Xiao Yebai, too, was frozen in shock, unable to move.

A mischievous thought suddenly crossed Zang Xiaolian’s mind: would his brother end up being henpecked from now on?
