Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

This man’s gaze is too intense, not concealed at all.

An Xiaoyu feels a bit uneasy under his stare.

Avoiding his eyes, An Xiaoyu says, "Mr. Gong..."

"I told you, don’t call me Mr. Gong; either call me Gongnan, or Mike! Either one is fine!" Nangong Mo smiles faintly, "I think you don’t like being called Miss An either, right?"

An Xiaoyu: "..."

This man really knows how to twist words!

"Alright then, Mike!"

To be honest, this title makes An Xiaoyu feel more comfortable, whereas Gongnan just feels awkward.

Since he calls her "An," she’ll just call him Mike!

"When I came in earlier, Director Bai told me that you need a designer. So, may I ask what you want to design?"

Nangong Mo raises his eyebrows slightly, his expression becoming more serious.

"A while ago, I bought a piece of land. I want to build a unique villa."

An Xiaoyu frowns slightly.

He mentioned wanting to build a villa, which means construction hasn’t started yet.

Nangong Mo’s gaze sweeps over An Xiaoyu’s face.

"And what I hope is... for the overall structure of the villa, as well as the interior design, to be refined by you personally!"

Nangong Mo’s words are straightforward. An Xiaoyu lowers her gaze, focusing on the long table in the lounge.

"If both tasks proceed simultaneously, the timeline will be quite long. In that case, I think I might not be able to..."

An Xiaoyu instinctively wants to refuse.

"It’s okay!"

Before An Xiaoyu finishes speaking, Nangong Mo interrupts her.

"I know you’re currently on vacation and won’t be able to work until after the New Year. But I have plenty of time, there’s no rush! When you’re available, I’ll coordinate with you!"

Nangong Mo’s gaze carries a smile, and given what he’s said thus far, An Xiaoyu wants to refuse... but likely can’t!

For a moment, An Xiaoyu falls silent.

Ultimately, there’s no reason to push a client away.

Nangong Mo continues to watch her without saying anything.

Yet this standoff is no solution either. After a moment, An Xiaoyu says, "I don’t know if you have any information on that piece of land, and ideally, pictures of the surrounding environment too. That would help me understand the situation there better. But as for whether I can take on this project, I need to think it over! After all, neither you nor I want the project to go wrong!"

Nangong Mo smiles.

"An, are you lacking confidence in yourself?"

An Xiaoyu: "..."

It’s not that she lacks confidence in herself; rather, she feels this man’s appearance is... a bit mysterious.

If their encounter abroad during a dance competition was a chance meeting, then today’s encounter doesn’t seem as simple!

An Xiaoyu blinks, trying to relax her mood.

Being in the same room as this man, she inexplicably feels... a lot of pressure.

At this moment, Nangong Mo pushes a stack of materials in front of An Xiaoyu.

"Everything you want to see is in here!"

An Xiaoyu picks it up and looks through the images inside.

The land is a quiet place in the suburbs, nestled between mountains and rivers, a scenic spot.

"I want to ask, what was your initial concept, um, that is, how do you envision this villa? You have to give me some direction, right?"

Nangong Mo’s gaze remains fixed on An Xiaoyu’s face.

"Um, I want to create... the feeling of home!"
