Nangong Wushuang glanced at the beef noodle shop on the other side. She shook her head, "I've already eaten. I don't like beef noodles."
"That's a shame. I quite like them. How about we go over there and chat while we eat?" Lin Xiao didn't give Nangong Wushuang much room to refuse and walked over.
Nangong Wushuang stopped her words mid-sentence. This guy...
She reluctantly followed him to the noodle shop.
"Yo, you're here?"
The owner recognized Lin Xiao. Whenever Lin Xiao came for breakfast, he always brought a beautiful woman with him. The previous two times it was the same woman, but this time he'd brought a different one, and she was even more beautiful than the last?
The owner could only envy them; this was not something someone like him could attain.
"Yes, beef noodles," Lin Xiao ordered. He then looked at Nangong Wushuang. Seeing she didn't seem inclined to sit, he pulled some tissue paper from the side, wiped the seat for her, then wiped the table, and said, "Please, sit."
Nangong Wushuang grudgingly sat down.
"You came so early in the morning, Miss Nangong. Are you here to see my daughter?" Lin Xiao looked at her curiously. "Or do you have something to say?"
"Xun'er is so adorable. Why couldn't I be here to see her?" Nangong Wushuang retorted.
"That won't do. She's my precious daughter, and I don't want you to abduct her," Lin Xiao shrugged. "By the way, have you all made arrangements? I don't care about your affairs. As long as you don't appear before me again, and you apologize where it's due, I won't bother with anything else."
As Lin Xiao was speaking, his noodles were served. He looked at the bright red beef noodles and said, "You probably can't get used to Sha City's food anyway."
Nangong Wushuang said nothing, instead watching Lin Xiao eat heartily with interest. She could get used to it, but the second and third elders couldn't.
"I've come to apologize for what the Nangong family did before."
"Mm, I accept," Lin Xiao continued. "Anything else?"
"..."
Nangong Wushuang looked at Lin Xiao, puzzled. Was that it?
"You must be very curious if I'm cultivating the 'Overbearing True Qi', right?" Lin Xiao seemed to see through everything, as if he had let go of his family's demise. He casually looked up at Nangong Wushuang, showing no intention of retaliating.
"Yes."
When the 'Overbearing True Qi' was mentioned, Nangong Wushuang's breathing seemed to quicken.
"Yes."
Lin Xiao gave a straightforward answer. "Of course, I won't hand over this 'Overbearing True Qi' to you."
"Anything else?"
Lin Xiao slurped his noodles and finished the bowl of beef noodles.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going... I hope I won't have the urge to drag you out of the Nangong family later."
Nangong Wushuang quickly stood up. "If I were willing to pay any price, you still wouldn't give it to me?"
"Any price?"
Lin Xiao glanced at Nangong Wushuang. He remembered that when many women said such things to him, they would subconsciously show off their curves.
Their voices were not quiet, and the people around them, while not hearing everything, clearly heard this sentence.
