illicit relationship

At this moment, Xiao Tian and Nalan Jiangge were choosing attire.

'I will choose these clothes.'

Xiao Tian decided to choose a cheap outfit because Nalan Jiangge would have a bad impression on him if he chose expensive clothes.

He had many expensive attire at home, so he did not care about it. He only needed a new outfit to change his wet clothes, so he was fine with any attire. 

After trying the clothes, Xiao Tian walked out of the fitting room. After that, he waited for Nalan Jiangge near the cashier.

"Have you chosen your clothes?" Nalan Jiangge asked when she saw Xiao Tian.

"Yes." Xiao Tian replied as he showed the attire he had chosen. 

"Why didn't you choose better clothes?" Nalan Jiangge was a little shocked when she saw the price tag.

'Did he choose cheap attire on purpose?' 

Previously, she thought Xiao Tian would choose expensive clothes, but she was wrong.

"I only need new outfit to change my wet clothes so I'm fine with any attire." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

"Choose better clothes now." Nalan Jiangge wanted Xiao Tian to choose better attire.

Xiao Tian did not answer and only stared at Nalan Jiangge.

"I won't repeat my words." Nalan Jiangge spoke and paused for a second before she continued, "I will tell my daughter to fire you if you don't choose better clothes now."

"….alright." Xiao Tian did what he was told because he had to continue being Yun Xin Er's bodyguard.

Xiao Tian chose better attire this time. Of course, he did not choose very expensive clothes because he owned a clothing company. 

After paying for the attire, they headed to the washroom to change their clothes. At first, they wanted to change in the fitting room, but all the fitting rooms were occupied.

Like before, Nalan Jiangge walked slowly because her right ankle still hurt. 

-----

Nature Villa, Living Room.

After buying clothes, Nalan Jiangge and the others returned to the Nature Villa. 

Like professional bodyguards, Xiao Tian, Ren Aoxu, Mu Huo, and Chun Hua were standing behind Yun Xin Er and her parents.

At this moment, a housemaid suddenly stepped into the living room. "Sir, Madam, lunch is ready."

"Un" after nodding his head, Yun Wuya looked at his wife and daughter. "Let's eat now."

"Alright." Yun Xin Er and Nalan Jiangge replied in unison.

As Yun Wuya, Nalan Jiangge, and Yun Xin Er were sitting on the chairs, Xiao Tian and the others were standing close to them. 

Someone wanted to hurt them, so Xiao Tian and the others had to be by their side all the time.

"Shi Hao, you and your group can sit on the chairs and eat with us." Nalan Jiangge said something shocking.

*Silence…

The dining room turned into a dead silence.

Xiao Tian was stunned.

'What is this? Why is she behaving like this? Why did she suddenly say something like this? This is not like her at all.'

Countless questions emerged in his head.

'Is it because I saved her life earlier?'

He found it hard to believe what he was hearing.

Sure, he knew that he had saved her life earlier, but he did not expect her personality to change completely like that.

It was so unreal, to the point he found it hard to believe it. Xiao Tian knew that she was someone who saw people based on their wealth.

This was the reason why she did not approve his relationship with Yun Xin Er. 

She even told him not to get close to her daughter if he could not raise his family status to the mid-upper class family.

Yun Xin Er and Yun Wuya exchanged a glance with each other. Like Xiao Tian, Nalan Jiangge's words had taken them by surprise.

'Is this because he saved her life earlier?'

They had the same question as Xiao Tian.

Because Xiao Tian was still standing, Nalan Jiangge spoke again, "What are you doing? Hurry up and sit on the chair."

Mu Huo, Ren Aoxu, and Chun Hua looked at Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian was the leader of the group, so they would follow his word.

Mu Huo and the others instantly sat on the chairs after Xiao Tian nodded his head.

Nalan Jiangge then turned her head to look at the housemaid. "Bring more plates for them."

"Understood, madam." The housemaid replied.

Even though Nalan Jiangge did not say anything during their lunch, but she often stole glances at Xiao Tian.

Yun Wuya and Yun Xin Er even chuckled after seeing her behavior. 

'She just can't say express her gratitude for saving her life.'

They knew that Nalan Jiangge could not express her gratitude. That was why she allowed Xiao Tian and the others to have lunch with them. 

After eating, Yun Wuya and Nalan Jiangge returned to the living room to watch TV. As for Xiao Tian and Yun Xin Er, they headed to the backyard after having lunch together.

"It seems like my mother has opened her heart to you." Yun Xin Er spoke abruptly. "Good job, little brother. Good job!"

Currently, Yun Xin Er was sitting on the wooden bench with Xiao Tian standing on her right side.

"I suddenly feel scared." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

"Scared? Why?" Yun Xin Er did not know why Xiao Tian suddenly felt afraid because, in her view, he should be happy right now.

If he could win her mother's heart, her mother would approve their relationship immediately, and he did not need to raise his family status to the mid-upper class family.

"What if she finds out who I am later? Will she still be nice to me later?" Xiao Tian was using a fake identity, not his real identity.

He was afraid that Nalan Jiangge would be disappointed if she found out who he was. There was even a possibility that she would hate him even more later.

He was sure that Nalan Jiangge would not believe his words if he told the truth.

She never approved their relationship until now, so she would think the reason why Xiao Tian hid his real identity and became Yun Xin Er's bodyguard was that he wanted to spend time with her daughter.

"Hmm?" Yun Xin Er touched her chin. "Yes. We don't know what my mother will do if she finds out who you are, but I hope she will stop hating you later."

Both Xiao Tian and her mother were important to her, so she really hoped that they could get along in the future.

"Do you know what you have to do if my mother finds out who you are later?" Yun Xin Er inquired.

"No." Xiao Tian never thought about this because Yun Xin Er's safety was the reason why he became her bodyguard.

"Then you should start thinking about it from now on." After saying that, Yun Xin Er rose to her feet. "Little brother, let's take a walk around this villa. I heard there is a good place to relax nearby."

"All right." Of course, Xiao Tian agreed instantly because, with this, he could spend time alone with her.

After telling her parents that she would be strolling with Xiao Tian, they immediately left.

At this moment, a middle-aged man was spying on Nature Villa from away. From his expression, anyone could tell that he had bad intentions.

Yes.. That middle-aged man was the one who threw Nalan Jiangge into the lake.
