Xia Xiaonuan felt her face stiffening.
Especially when Director Gu's amazed gaze turned to her, her cheeks immediately burned.
"Ah? Young Master, you know each other? That's so coincidental! Miss Xia, you really should have mentioned you know Young Master earlier!"
Xia Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Yaoling's complex and deep gaze and reluctantly reached out her hand for a handshake.
The man's hand was long and strong, holding hers firmly, making Xiaonuan feel like a little bird captured in his palm, ready to suffocate the next second.
To escape this feeling, she immediately withdrew her hand.
"We...we're...not that close." Xiaonuan forced a smile at the director, maintaining a calm expression.
The director was slightly stunned, cautiously glancing at Nangong Yaoling, whose face instantly darkened.
He awkwardly nodded.
"No...no problem. Actually, as long as Young Master says the word, anything...can be negotiated, can be negotiated."
Xiaonuan's lips twitched.
