The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Because You Are My Wife

She carried her beige small bag as she came downstairs and walked out the door, where Nangong Yaoling’s car was waiting outside the villa. He wasn’t driving himself but was seated in the back.

The driver saw her and quickly got out of the car, respectfully opening the door for her and carefully shielding her head with his hand.

Today, Xia Xiaonuan was wearing a beige evening gown, her hair was slightly up, and she had light makeup on. Because her skin was already good, the light makeup highlighted her pure and sweet looks. She paired it with a slightly chunky pair of purple high heels, a purple rose-style Chanel clutch, and wore an exquisite necklace that wasn’t overly flashy, giving her an elegant yet dreamily sweet appearance.

From afar, she looked like a princess lost from a castle.

Nangong Yaoling sat in the car, looking at Xia Xiaonuan in front of him, and couldn’t help but be amazed.

The Xia Xiaonuan of the past only knew how to drape various brands on herself without understanding how to match them. So even the most expensive clothes didn’t look particularly outstanding on her.

But the current Xia Xiaonuan matched her clothes and accessories perfectly, and a non-flashy dress could still express her unique style.

Nangong Yaoling couldn’t understand how a person could change so much overnight.

As Xia Xiaonuan walked to the stylish and eye-catching Cayenne, she noticed Nangong Yaoling sitting inside, his gaze fixed on her with a complex expression.

She rolled her eyes at him without hesitation, then gracefully lifted her gown and sat into the car. Being forced to attend the banquet was not a pleasant matter.

She was already exhausted today, feeling somewhat light-headed now.

If only she knew what was going to happen at the banquet tonight, she might not be so reluctant.

”Do you dislike attending banquets this much?”

Nangong Yaoling reached out, wrapping one arm around her slim waist, his eyes lowered as he asked, with a trace of gentleness even he didn’t realize.

Xia Xiaonuan, however, was not moved at all, directly removing his hand from her waist and hurtfully retorted, ”The point isn’t the banquet, but who I am going with, alright?”

Nangong Yaoling laughed, ”Still angry about this morning? Didn’t I say I would apply medicine for you tonight?” As he spoke, a hairy hand landed on her leg again.

Xiaonuan desperately wanted to find a kitchen knife to chop off that hairy hand instantly!

With a ”slap,” she smacked his hand away, glaring at him in anger and shame, ”Nangong Yaoling!” How dare he mention this morning! Just thinking about how she was humiliated in the glass greenhouse among a sea of flowers made her want to throw this man into the sewer.

Nangong Yaoling didn’t persist, withdrawing his hand and placing it on the back of the seat behind her. Xia Xiaonuan could clearly feel the warmth from his body at the back of her neck, and if she leaned back slightly, she’d touch his arm.

She was extremely frustrated, ”You can find someone else to attend the banquet with, why must it be me?”

”Because you are my wife?”

Nangong Yaoling raised an eyebrow, looking justifiably handsome:

”Attending such important occasions with another woman would make others think I’m very unfaithful.”

”Pfft, do you think you’re very decent?” There were so many pictures of him with other women online, and now he had the nerve to say this. She really didn’t know what his face was made of.
