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 126: She Cannot Have the Slightest Injury

Li Qiao lost her senses, staring into the depths of his eyes, and subconsciously murmured, "Why don't you just say it's your lawn that's too slippery..."

Shang Yu squinted his cold eyes, inching his handsome face closer, the breath of the two mingling, their proximity no more than a whisker away.

After a few seconds of silence, he teased, "From what you're saying, should I dig up that patch of grass then?"

Li Qiao pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Perhaps it was the low temperature in the mountains that made her feel the man's palm getting hotter and hotter; even through the fabric, it burned her skin, making her whole body heat up.

With her throat dry and tongue parched, Li Qiao was about to speak when Shang Yu slowly withdrew his hand and let her go.

The unexpected embrace wasn't too long or too short, but Li Qiao's heart struggled to calm down.
