Chapter 64: Behave Yourself
"Go to your room, pack some of your belongings, and move into my private residence immediately." Nalan Che said without a single moment of hesitation.
"What, move to your place right now?" He didn't even give her a moment to breathe. Tong Xiaoman stared at his back with a tragic expression.
Nalan Che simply hummed in response and said nothing more to her.
When they returned to the suite, Tong Xiaoman was infuriated by the absolute chaos of the room.
"Damn it, those bastards! This is too much, they actually threw my things all over the place..." Her bras and panties had fallen victim to their malicious hands, scattered across the floor. Oh woe is her, those intimate garments were custom-made and brought back from abroad by professional lingerie designers, and they were horribly expensive! Most importantly, those were the only undergarments she found truly comfortable; wearing any other brand made her feel thoroughly uncomfortable all over.
"We'll just buy new ones," Nalan Che said domineeringly. Those intimate items had been touched by other men; he would never allow her to wear them again.
Tong Xiaoman desperately wanted to burst into tears. With a drooping face, she said, "I only wear designs by M.Z. Wearing any other brand makes me feel so uncomfortable."
"M.Z., the world-renowned lingerie designer?" Nalan Che raised an eyebrow, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face.
Tong Xiaoman nodded. Since those intimate garments had been defiled by other men, she wouldn't wear them again anyway. She packed up her important belongings and left with Nalan Che.
Nalan Che's private residence was located in the most exclusive residential area of the West District. Not only did it feature front and back gardens, but the house itself was massive. With its high-end, luxurious interior design, it was the most expensive luxury mansion in the entire West District.
Tong Xiaoman glanced sideways at him, asking with a face full of suspicion, "Young Master Nalan, I heard you're only twenty-ot-seven this year. How on earth could you afford such an expensive luxury home?"
The words "embezzlement" were practically carved in plain sight across her forehead.
"Where on earth is your mind wandering? My property here was acquired legally." Nalan Che gave her a cold sideways glance. As the CEO of the Disa Corporation, owning a few private mansions was hardly worth mentioning.
"I've heard that companies tied to the military and government are the easiest places to rake in illicit fortunes. Young Master Nalan, why don't you pull some strings and get me in as a junior clerk at the Disa Corporation?" Tong Xiaoman said eagerly.
"We'll talk about that after you graduate from university," Nalan Che replied, casting a glance at her. Privately, however, he thought to himself that by then, she would already be his wife—there was no way he would let her run wild outside.
"When I'm on break, I could go in as an intern, right?" To be honest, she harbored a deep curiosity about the Disa Corporation and really wanted to go inside to take a look.
"We'll see when the time comes. I have matters to attend to; Aunt Gui will be coming over later. Stay here and be a good girl, alright? Be obedient." If he didn't have important business to handle, he truly wouldn't feel at ease leaving her behind.
"You're leaving me here all by yourself? It's going to be so boring. What are you going to do anyway, catch thieves? Take me with you, I can help out!" Tong Xiaoman said excitedly.
"Just behave yourself." Nalan Che glared at her immediately.
"Hmph, stingy." Tong Xiaoman stuck her tongue out at him and pulled a face she thought was terrifying, though in the eyes of a certain someone, it looked utterly adorable.
Just as she turned to walk away, he suddenly reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her straight into his embrace.
"Weren't you busy? What is it, acting up in heat again?" Tong Xiaoman stared at the flickering flames burning in the depths of his eyes, raising an eyebrow as she spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
