Chapter 49: My Wife Is Not Someone You Can Touch

Song Huan Yan slowly raised an eyebrow, "He… wants to call Leng Jian Yue himself?"

Sure enough, Nan Gong Yu dialed the number directly.

Song Huan Yan quietly watched him.

She hadn't expected… he held the phone in one hand, and almost instinctively grasped her hand with the other.

It seemed… he wanted to reassure her.

Song Huan Yan blinked, "This… is a bit too considerate, isn't it?"

Leng Jian Yue answered, speaking first, "Lord Nan, what matter requires you to call me personally?"

His tone and attitude were fine; there was no domineering attitude when speaking with Song Huan Yan.

Nan Gong Yu's expression was cold, "Leng, are you now so capable that a matchmaking attempt turns into harassment?"

Leng Jian Yue was stunned, then laughed, "Miss Song filed a complaint against you…?"

He deliberately smiled, taking it lightly, while Nan Gong Yu said more coldly, "I thought after I intervened last time you should have known when to stop."

Leng Jian Yue said, "Lord Nan, it's not as serious as you think; I… regarding Miss Song…"

Before he could finish, Nan Gong Yu cut him off, "Whatever your thoughts about her, my wife is not someone you can lay a hand on."

Now Leng Jian Yue was completely stunned, "What? You… what did you say?"

Nan Gong Yu gave him no leeway, saying coldly, "If your ears are bad, get them treated; if your brain is bad, don't come out to embarrass anyone. If you harass my wife again, Leng."

He said nothing more after that.

But Leng Jian Yue exclaimed, "What are you saying? Miss Song… is she… your wife? Since when? You can't be mistaken, can you?"

Nan Gong Yu said, "Even if she isn't, that doesn't give you the right to harass her. We're all in the same circle; you see her when you look up, you see her when you look down. You, a grown man, bullying another's only daughter—what a skill. The relationship between my family and the Song family seems you still haven't grasped. Even if I'm not anyone to her, she's still not someone you can just touch, understand?"

In front of Nan Gong Yu, Leng Jian Yue was just a rookie brother—younger and weaker—so he dared not be arrogant.

He could only say, "I understand, Lord Nan, but it's not what you think...."

Before Leng Jian Yue could finish, Nan Gong Yu hung up immediately, refusing any further talk.

"He won't dare to harass you again," Nan Gong Yu glanced at Song Huan Yan.

But he saw the young girl staring at him unblinking.

"What's wrong?" Nan Gong Yu raised an eyebrow, "Did I handle it poorly?"

Song Huan Yan came to herself, hurriedly shaking her head, "No, it's fine. Very good."

She was actually a bit surprised by Nan Gong Yu's later words: even if I'm not anyone to her, she's still not someone you can just touch.

He didn't use his status as husband.

A husband protecting his wife is natural, but even if not a husband, his protection would make one feel more at ease.

She knew her mother had a good relationship with Gu Qinghe, and their families indeed were close to the Nan Gong family, with many joint projects.

But she had never thought of leveraging Nan Gong Yu's connections before.

She never imagined that even without marriage, Nan Gong Yu would still hold the bond between the two families in his heart.

"That's fine," Nan Gong Yu said, "If anything, tell me directly."

"Mm." Song Huan Yan nodded, "I understand. Thank you."

Nan Gong Yu looked at her, "We are already husband and wife; between spouses there's no need for formalities."

Song Huan Yan pressed her lips, "Fine."

After speaking, she realized he was still holding her hand.

For a moment Song Huan Yan felt a bit stiff.

She didn't know how to withdraw her hand.

She originally wanted to put the phone into her bag, but with one hand it was hard to place.

The key is her bag was on her lap, already opened.

If Nan Gong Yu looked closely… he would see the Star River Dream inside the bag.

Song Huan Yan was still pondering how to naturally withdraw her hand, then put the phone into the bag and zip it up.

She didn't expect Nan Gong Yu actually noticed her bag.

This was something Nan Gong Yu photographed; he instantly recognized the box, saying, "Star River Dream?"

Song Huan Yan was silent for a second, then nodded, "Mm."

She thought Nan Gong Yu would ask something, but he didn't.

Now she could only explain herself, "I was thinking, this gift is too valuable. Since we happen to meet today, I wanted to return it to you in person…"

At this point Song Huan Yan got a bit stuck, as any explanation seemed off.

It seemed bringing the Star River Dream today was inappropriate?

In short, it was a bit awkward.

And also afraid he'd misunderstand.

Nan Gong Yu understood her meaning, pressed his lips and said, "You don't need to return it now."

Song Huan Yan's face flushed slightly, and she nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

Her skin was extremely fair, her cheeks faintly pink, like March peach blossoms where pink and white blend, especially charming.

Nan Gong Yu's gaze lingered on her face a moment longer, then said, "Hmm, shall we continue sleeping?"

Song Huan Yan thought for a moment, "Alright, then… you go work too."

"Fine." Nan Gong Yu released his hand, sliding the Tablet's screen.

Song Huan Yan exhaled, put the phone into her bag, zipped it, then closed her eyes and began to doze.

She seemed not quite accustomed to holding hands.

When did it start?

Did you realize the moment you were betrayed and plotted against, from hearing Qin Zi Mo and Qiao An's words?

Or perhaps she has actually never been comfortable holding hands.

It should be the latter, right?

She and Qin Zi Mo, although they had a good relationship before, never had a serious quarrel, and Qin Zi Mo was also very kind to her.

But between them it was always a light affection, and she wasn't used to holding hands everywhere.

Especially after Qin Zi Mo started acting, the two were a secret couple, so there were even fewer intimate hand‑holding gestures.

Their dates were always at home.

They basically ate meals at home, streamed dramas, played games, so there was no need to deliberately hold hands.

Unexpectedly… she actually was a bit unaccustomed.

After Leng Jian Yue's call was hung up, a storm of turmoil rose in his heart.

So, according to Nan Gong Yu, his wife?

Song Huan Yan??

How could that be possible?

He has been going to Song Huan Yan's office every day lately, chasing after her.

Could it be… they went on a matchmaking date?

The fact that they went on a matchmaking date is enough to surprise him, let alone calling her "wife" outright?

Leng Jian Yue felt a bit disheveled.

Did Nan Gong Yu really go on a matchmaking date with Song Huan Yan?

Does he not want his sister anymore?

Leng Jian Yue pondered, could it be that during today's matchmaking, the two locked eyes, and Nan Gong Yu then said she was his wife?

Thinking of this, Leng Jian Yue's expression grew cold, huh.

She first went on a matchmaking date with him, didn't take a liking, then went to Nan Gong Yu, and instantly liked him?

Leng Jian Yue, angry, slammed the phone onto the table with a bang; perhaps she did it on purpose?

First a matchmaking date, then a rejection, and he still chased after her.

Does this then raise her market value?

After all that, her goal has always been Nan Gong Yu, using him as a shield to line her own pockets.

It's not that great!

The person he likes can't run away!

Moreover, her target is still Nan Gong Yu.

If Nan Gong Yu clicks with her, what about Bai Wei?

Heh, Song Huan Yan, playing… quite a big game.

Really, it's getting more and more interesting.

At this moment, the bodyguard arrived with Qin Zi Mo, and Qiao An and Li Zihang followed behind.

Qin Zi Mo saw Leng Jian Yue and frowned, "So it's you!"

After saying that, he tried to struggle, but the bodyguard pressed him, "Be honest!"

Li Zihang said, "You were the one beating Qin Yingdi in the company?"

He hadn't seen it at the time; he only learned later that this person is Song Huan Yan's suitor!
