When Nangong Mo spoke, his gaze was fixed intently on An Xiaoyu’s eyes, as if a deep, unfathomable mist was swirling in his pupils.
That kind of gaze made An Xiaoyu feel a bit apprehensive and uneasy.
For so reason, there was a fleeting mont when she had the illusion that the villa was ant to be given to her...
Oh well, she must have lost her mind.
The man in front of her seed a bit off, so she shouldn’t let him lead her astray.
"An, I have set my sights on you, so I will wait for you!"

After Nangong Mo left, An Xiaoyu remained seated in the reception room, staring blankly at the stack of docunts on the table, slightly lost in thought.
Set his sights on her? Wait for her?
Literally, it ant he wanted her to take charge of the construction and design of the villa and would wait for her to start work after the new year, that seed to be the point.
But An Xiaoyu felt there was more to his words?
The feeling was unsettling!
An Xiaoyu called Su Zenan, arranged for him to pick her up at the office entrance in half an hour, and then knocked on Bai Mingxuan’s office door, sharing Nangong Mo’s requests and ideas.
Bai Mingxuan raised an eyebrow.
"So, did you agree?"
An Xiaoyu was silent for a mont.
"Director Bai, I don’t want to take this project!"
"Why?"
Bai Mingxuan was quite puzzled.
"I don’t know, it just feels a bit strange!"
"Oh, do you think this Mr. Gong is difficult to deal with?"
"..." What could An Xiaoyu say?
It’s not that he’s difficult; it’s that Mr. Gong is overly familiar, and when he’s with her, the way he looks at her... is odd.
That feeling is like she’s his prey.
Even though he’s restrained himself a lot and even deliberately suppresses himself, An Xiaoyu isn’t a fool and can sense it.
Bai Mingxuan was silent for a mont.
Considering An Xiaoyu’s status, even if she didn’t work and just stayed at ho as a wealthy wife, wouldn’t life be quite carefree?
But An Xiaoyu still chose to work, so Bai Mingxuan knew, An Xiaoyu isn’t that type of girl.
However, regarding this project...
"Xiaoyu, you might have so resistance to this project now, but anyway, you don’t need to respond now. Let’s discuss it after the new year!"

That night, after Shen Yufeng ca ho from work, An Xiaoyu hesitated for a mont but still decided to tell Shen Yufeng what happened today.
Shen Yufeng’s eyes narrowed instantly.
"You said, you’ve encountered that person before?"
An Xiaoyu nodded.
"Yes, at that ti, I didn’t tell you. Maybe it was just a coincidence then. But this ti, I feel it’s a bit strange."
"What’s his na?"
"His English na is Mike, and his Chinese na is Gongnan."
Shen Yufeng’s heart skipped a beat.
Gongnan?
Why does he feel this na... seems fake?
However, Shen Yufeng didn’t voice his suspicion to An Xiaoyu. After all, she was already doubtful today, so he didn’t want her to overthink.
"Maybe, it’s just a coincidence! You happened to et him abroad last ti, and now you happen to et him dostically again! Don’t overthink it! Also, if you don’t want to take on that project, then don’t! Anyway, there’s no one forcing you to do it with a knife at your throat!"
As Shen Yufeng spoke, he held An Xiaoyu in his arms, gently comforting her.
An Xiaoyu nodded.
"Yes, yes, who’s going to threaten the wife of Mr. Shen, the big president?"
An Xiaoyu laughed, leaning against his chest.
"Maybe I am overthinking it. But, whatever, let’s talk about it after the new year!"
