The Favored Heiress

The engagement of the most adored daughter of the Li Family was broken off. Her furious family members railed against the heartless man and vowed to make him pay the price. * Later on, Li Qiao met her ex-fiancé’s big brother by chance. Some said he was the most mysterious man in Nanyang and his name was Shang Yu, aka Shang Shaoyan. While some others called him the overbearing and obsessive underground Overlord of Nanyang from whom everyone should stay away. Standing in the misty rain, Li Qiao gazed at the ruthless and untamed man with a shallow smile, said, “Hello, I’m Li Qiao.” She would become her ex-fiancé’s sister-in-law, if not wife. * Li Qiao and her ex-fiancé met again on the street several months later when he sneered at her, “Are you following me? Haven’t you given up hope yet?” A harsh voice berated him from behind, “Show some respect to your sister-in-law!” From now on, only one rumor was circulating in Nanyang City – The merciless Overlord of Nanyang had one woman he uncritically doted on. Her name was Li Qiao.

Chapter 154: Some Words Should Be Left for Men to Say

Their distance was a mere breath away, their breathing entangled with one another.

Li Qiao collected herself and gazed into the man's deep eyes, sensing the conversation could not continue any further.

Thus, she flashed her eyes and innocently extended her right hand, batting her eyelashes, "Master Yan, I'm cold."

Having held hands with the left before, now it was time for the right hand; one must not favor one over the other.

Shang Yu's initially displeased expression, upon seeing Li Qiao's gesture, softened in an instant with a faint smile.

He looked at Li Qiao and pressed her chin with his thumb, seemingly exasperated, "Don't you know to wear more if you're cold?"

Was this a refusal to hold hands again?

But, as he spoke, Li Qiao's right hand was already enveloped in the man's broad and warm palm.

Li Qiao looked down and smiled.

It turned out that just holding hands could make one's heart race.
