Chapter 52: Do You Know Who I Am?

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

Xia Nanxi turned to leave the office, but Gong Jinyu reached out to stop her.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it.”

“Get out of my way!”

Xia Nanxi’s eyes were filled with coldness. She didn’t want anything to do with this man.

“Don’t be so cold. If you spend some time with me, you’ll find that I’m much better than Zhan Chengyan. He’s a man with no romance. How could he possibly give you happiness? Look at me, I’m much more gentle than him. Just ask, and I’ll even get you the stars from the sky!”

Gong Jinyu reached out to put his arm around Xia Nanxi’s shoulder.

He never expected that as soon as he touched her clothes, before he even realized it, he was thrown to the ground with a shoulder throw.

“I warned you!”

Xia Nanxi frowned and strode out of the office.

Gong Jinyu gasped and sat on the ground, laughing.

She’s fierce!

He likes it!

Xia Nanxi thought Gong Jinyu would back down, but she had just walked out of the office building when he chased after her.

“Why are you so angry? Are you still upset about last night? I’ve already dealt with those people. If you’re still not satisfied, just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it!”

Gong Jinyu spoke sincerely, but he didn’t know that Xia Nanxi had reached her limit.

“What do you want?!” Xia Nanxi roared.

Gong Jinyu shrugged, looking innocent. “It’s simple. Have lunch with me.”

Xia Nanxi’s refusal was on the tip of her tongue, but then she heard Gong Jinyu’s voice, cold and menacing.

“Your family runs a dumpling shop, right? If I remember correctly, it’s in Yangchang Lake. You wouldn’t want anything to happen to your parents, would you? After all, it’s a small business. If something really happened, no one would care.”

Xia Nanxi’s eyes were filled with anger.

“You’re threatening me!”

“So what?”

Gong Jinyu gave a wicked smile. “One lunch in exchange for your family’s safety. You choose.”

Xia Nanxi gritted her teeth. She wasn’t sure if Gong Jinyu would really do anything to her family, but in this situation, she had no choice but to compromise.

“If anything happens to my family, I’ll tear you apart!”

As the ten minutes were about to be up, Xia Nanxi appeared in front of Jiang Can.

“Are you okay?”

Jiang Can looked at the man beside Xia Nanxi with suspicion, trying to pull her behind her.

Xia Nanxi shook her head. “Go back first. I have something to do.”

With that, she got into the car with Gong Jinyu.

Jiang Can didn’t know what had happened in those ten minutes, but she knew one thing: she had to tell Zhan Chengyan about today’s events.

In the car, Xia Nanxi’s gaze was fixed on the window.

The suburbs of the capital always had some places that few people knew about. The road they were on was clearly a private area. Xia Nanxi had never been here before, and she had never heard of it.

“You’re quite a brave girl. You’re so calm.”

Gong Jinyu’s eyes showed a hint of admiration.

No wonder he had fallen for her at first sight. She was truly different, brave and righteous!

The car drove into a private garden, and Xia Nanxi’s frown didn’t disappear.

After getting out of the car, the butler immediately greeted them.

“Master, Master and Madam are in a good mood today. Don’t make them angry!”

The butler’s eyes fell on Xia Nanxi, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen Gong Jinyu bring a woman back to “Quiet Garden” before.

Gong Jinyu nodded slightly and was about to pull Xia Nanxi, but she dodged him.

“Let’s go. I’m waiting for you to have dinner.”

Gong Jinyu didn’t mind and walked ahead.

Xia Nanxi looked around. Within ten steps, she had already sensed at least twenty cameras, and even the servants tending the flowers and cleaning were not as simple as they seemed.

Her heart sank. It seemed like it would take some time to break out of here.

Xia Nanxi followed Gong Jinyu into the house, and the smell of food hit her.

A well-maintained, glamorous woman walked towards them.

“Gong Jinyu, you still know how to come back?”

The woman pulled Gong Jinyu towards the dining room, still talking nonstop.

“I’ll forgive you this time. Tell me, whose daughter is this? You escaped all the blind dates we arranged, was it for her?”

Xia Nanxi stood aside, not knowing what was going on.

Gong Jinyu beckoned to Xia Nanxi. Seeing that she didn’t move, he stopped.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s just my parents. A daughter-in-law will eventually meet her in-laws!”

Gong’s mother, Rong Menghua, hadn’t taken a good look at Xia Nanxi at first, but now all her attention was on her.

Rong Menghua frowned. No wonder Gong Jinyu hadn’t liked any of the blind dates they arranged. It turned out he had a beauty like this by his side!

It was a pity that she didn’t have a single brand name on her, and she looked so young. It was obvious why she was close to Gong Jinyu.

“Girl, come here, come here. Tell me, how long have you known my son?”

“We don’t know each other.”

Xia Nanxi told the truth. Besides knowing his name, how could she say she knew Gong Jinyu?

Rong Menghua chuckled, thinking that Xia Nanxi was just playing hard to get with her son.

“Oh, little girl, my son is a bit playful sometimes. If he’s upset you, just be patient.”

Seeing that Xia Nanxi didn’t respond, she continued, “You are the first girl he’s brought home. He must be sincere about you!”

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

Zhan Chengyan strode in, coldly laughing, “Sincere about someone else’s wife? That’s the kind of upbringing you have in your Gong family?”

As soon as Xia Nanxi saw Zhan Chengyan, she ran to his side, whining softly, “He threatened me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to this place.”

Zhan Chengyan held her hand tightly, protecting her in his arms.

“Gong Jinyu, I warn you, stay away from my wife! Your ‘fairy descends to earth’ can close down today!”

Rong Menghua was still confused. How could the girl her son had brought home suddenly become someone else’s wife?

“Young Master Zhan, what’s going on?” Rong Menghua hurriedly asked.

Zhan Chengyan’s eyes were covered with a layer of frost, and his tone was full of displeasure.

“You should ask your son!”

With that, Zhan Chengyan pulled Xia Nanxi’s hand and walked out.

Gong Jinyu gave a look, and the butler immediately stopped Zhan Chengyan.

“Young Master Zhan, I’m sorry, but this is ‘Quiet Garden’. You can’t come and go as you please.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the butler fell to the ground, wailing.
