Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 558: Chapter 572: Display for All to See

”Isn’t this Manager Xu? Bringing a model here today to showcase the lingerie from your store?”

An Ran glanced at the pair and then retracted her gaze, her words sharp and biting.

The female companion beside Xu Changqing was already displeased with him initiating conversation with this woman, and upon hearing An Ran’s humiliating words, she immediately jumped out.

”Who are you? How are you talking? Are you blind? Who told you I’m a lingerie model?”

An Ran’s gaze lazily swept across the woman’s chest, her meaning clear without words, and she feigned surprise, ”Oh, you’re not? I thought such a big display was meant for showing off. But Manager Xu, are you sure you want me to spend Valentine’s Day with you two? Your female companion doesn’t seem to like me very much.”

The woman was already fuming from An Ran’s words, and if not for Xu Changqing’s presence, she would have given An Ran a slap long ago.

”You...”

”Alright, Nana, shut up.”

Just as the woman was about to speak, Xu Changqing interrupted her.

Xu Changqing raised his brows, looking at An Ran with interest. He hadn’t expected this seemingly pure and serene girl to be so fierce; whenever someone displeased her, she revealed her cat-like claws. It was different from Guo Xinyi’s assertiveness, and this personality, he liked.

Compared to the women he’d had before, the girl in front of him intrigued him far more.

”Absolutely. If Miss An doesn’t like it, I can send her away right now.”

Xu Changqing still held a grudge from the last time An Ran hit him, but seeing her willing to have dinner with him now, didn’t she reconsider after going back?

Or perhaps her boyfriend had dumped her, and she was desperately seeking the next option?

The thought crossed Xu Changqing’s mind, his eyes flashing with calculation. Such a good opportunity—how could he pass it up?

Nana was shocked by Xu Changqing’s words, her mouth agape, and a few seconds later, she looked at Xu Changqing, hurt, ”Chang... Changqing, how can you... how can you treat me like this? We agreed to spend Valentine’s Day together. You said you loved me.”

”Enough, Nana, stop pretending. When did I ever say I loved you? Don’t think I don’t know about you and Guo Zi. While I’m in a good mood, hurry up and leave. We can still be friends after this.”

Xu Changqing looked at Nana with disdain, completely devoid of the affection he had shown when entering the restaurant.

Nana’s face turned pale when Guo Zi was mentioned. She wanted to say something, but seeing Xu Changqing’s cold eyes and the woman behind the table, she swallowed her words.

Then she noticed the scattered onlookers, some even recording with their phones.

Nana felt utterly humiliated, shot a fierce glare at An Ran, and quickly left the restaurant.

”Alright, all problems solved. Miss An, shall we move to the private room?”

When mentioning the private room, Xu Changqing didn’t hide his smugness.

Victoria’s Valentine’s Day spots were hard to come by. Although An Ran had a place, it was just in the hall, whereas he had a private room, demonstrating his status in Nan’an.

What he didn’t know was that Mu Xingfeng chose the hall near the window for An Ran, knowing she liked to see the city’s night view. Such spots were often more coveted than private rooms.

Moreover, as the top western restaurant in Nan’an, Victoria’s dining environment was impeccable even in the hall; it was never noisy or chaotic.
