Chapter 1582: Chapter 1599: Proving How Familiar We Are 1

Xia Xiaonuan felt her face stiffening.

Especially when Director Gu’s amazed gaze turned to her, her cheeks immediately burned.

"Ah? Young Master, you know each other? That’s so coincidental! Miss Xia, you really should have mentioned you know Young Master earlier!"

Xia Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Yaoling’s complex and deep gaze and reluctantly reached out her hand for a handshake.

The man’s hand was long and strong, holding hers firmly, making Xiaonuan feel like a little bird captured in his palm, ready to suffocate the next second.

To escape this feeling, she immediately withdrew her hand.

"We...we’re...not that close." Xiaonuan forced a smile at the director, maintaining a calm expression.

The director was slightly stunned, cautiously glancing at Nangong Yaoling, whose face instantly darkened.

He awkwardly nodded.

"No...no problem. Actually, as long as Young Master says the word, anything...can be negotiated, can be negotiated."

Xiaonuan’s lips twitched.

She felt like a thousand llamas flew by her eyes.

She knew it would end like this; why did she always run into Nangong Yaoling? Moreover, whenever he appeared, problems always got easily solved.

This made her feel useless, as if without Nangong Yaoling, she couldn’t accomplish anything.

However, she had nothing to do with him anymore; she would definitely not accept his charity.

"Um...Director Gu, I have something to do, I’ll be leaving now." Xia Xiaonuan smiled at Director Gu, quickly glanced at the sullen Nangong Yaoling, bowed her head, and prepared to make a quick exit.

However, at that moment, coincidentally, a handsome-looking waiter was approaching with a tray; as she was about to move forward, her body leaned forward suddenly, causing the waiter to lean back unexpectedly.

"Ah..." the waiter cried out in surprise, and the tray went flying.

Next, standing by the waiter’s side, Nangong Yaoling was disastrously drenched with coffee on his face...

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Xia Xiaonuan stood dumbfounded, staring at the breathtakingly handsome face before her, now dripping down with coffee in a mess.

He closed his eyes, coffee slipping from his eyelashes.

A gasp of disbelief echoed in the air.

Two bodyguards in the corner saw the scene, their expressions changed.

Exchanging glances, one of them immediately dashed out the door.

The director and several company executives standing behind Nangong Yaoling turned pale with fear.

"Young...Young Master..."

"Pfft—" A car-tire-bursting laughter suddenly intensified the suspense of the scene.

All complex gazes once again turned to Xia Xiaonuan.

Xia Xiaonuan hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand.

Rarely had she seen Nangong Yaoling in such a miserable state, she couldn’t help but...

The air was filled with a strong scent of freshly brewed American coffee.

The director and the executives rushed forward, holding napkins to wipe Nangong Yaoling’s face.

"Young Master, are you alright..."

"You weren’t burned, were you!"

"Young Master, let me wipe it for you..."

"Where are your people, where’s your manager? What are your waiters doing?!"

"Move aside!"

Nangong Yaoling snarled irritably, snatching a napkin, coldly pushing away the people in front of him, almost grinding his teeth as he stared at Xia Xiaonuan.
