This woman, in weather averaging only seven or eight degrees Celsius, wore a leather jacket on her upper body and red leather shorts with black stockings on her lower half, all complemented by a pair of fiery red high heels.
"This is..."
"Nangong Wushuang?!"
The large sunglasses on this woman's face couldn't conceal her identity. The National Security Bureau would have a hard time not recognizing this face.
Nangong Wushuang was seen unloading a large pile of bags from the car, standing at the villa's entrance, and pressing the doorbell.
"What do you think Nangong Wushuang is here for?"
"Who knows... Why should we care so much?"
After the two lookouts sent the message upstairs, they acted as if they saw nothing. At least, it seemed like Nangong Wushuang was here for a visit, not to cause trouble.
They had heard that last year, the Nangong family had lost half of their core members to appease the Dragon King's wrath.
By rights, the Nangong family, from top to bottom, should have a lot of opinions about Lin Xiao now.
Why would Nangong Wushuang, as the Nangong family's matriarch, come to pay a visit at this time?
"Please come in."
Nangong Wushuang didn't have to wait long. The gate opened, and Lin Xiao's voice came from the intercom.
"Thank you."
Nangong Wushuang quickly said in a low voice.
Then, she hurriedly walked inside, carrying her things.
"Miss Nangong."
A bodyguard emerged from the side, took the items from Nangong Wushuang's hands, and said, "The boss said you can drive in."
"No need, I'll walk in."
Nangong Wushuang didn't dare to drive in. She wanted to show her respect and fear towards Lin Xiao.
After taking a couple of steps, Nangong Wushuang suddenly realized something and quickly took the items back from the bodyguard beside her, saying, "I'll carry them myself."
The bodyguard looked confused. What was going on?
However, since Nangong Wushuang insisted, he didn't press the issue and returned to his post.
"Long time no see, Miss Nangong."
The door opened, and Lin Xiao greeted her.
"Mr. Lin!"
Nangong Wushuang hurried forward and presented the two gift boxes she had prepared: "During the New Year, there were too many family matters, and I couldn't find the time to visit. I've finally resolved some issues at home these past few days, and that's why I've specifically come to apologize."
"What offense have you committed?"
Lin Xiao looked at the two gift boxes, took them casually, and then stepped aside, saying, "Come in and tell me."
His gaze couldn't help but linger on the woman. To be honest, seeing Nangong Wushuang dressed like this, one might think she was here to declare war...
"Yes."
Nangong Wushuang quickly entered.
The moment she stepped into the room, she instinctively felt two hostile gazes.
One was from Luo Qinghan, and the other was from Li Xin.
Her attire was simply too provocative; it was hard not to feel hostile.
"Sit."
Lin Xiao tried his best to shift his gaze away, not to focus on the woman. Was she trying to use this method to divert his attention from the Nangong family?
"Yes."
However, Nangong Wushuang was visibly flustered at this moment. She did whatever Lin Xiao said.
Since she was a guest, Lin Xiao treated her properly and personally went to make tea.
