She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 658
Chapter 658: Public Display of Love: Forget Chuan is Mrs. Shen (3)
Hesitant, Xia Nuannuan got out of the car. She followed Shen Zihao as he walked through the front door into the living room.
At the same time, she observed her surroundings from the corner of her eye, not daring to show her curiosity or astonishment in case it made her look completely ignorant.
However, upon entering the living room and seeing how incredibly polished and reflectant the floor was, she hesitated to step on it.
She followed Shen Zihao closely as he walked towards the shoe rack, where she watched him change his shoes. She stood still, not daring to make any big movements.
He kicked off his shoes and put on his home slippers. As he walked into the house, he suddenly noticed that the person next to him was missing. He turned and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Immediately, she asked him, “Mr. Shen… do- do I have to change my shoes?”
With a look of sudden realization, he called loudly, “Senior Auntie Zhang, Senior Auntie Zhang!”
Almost immediately, a middle-aged lady appeared in response to his call. “Young Master, what is it?”
Shen Zihao pointed at Xia Nuannuan and said to the housekeeper, “Find Miss Xia a pair of slippers.”
Senior Auntie Zhang nodded with a glance in Xia Nuannuan’s direction. “Yes.”
Then she left and very quickly returned with a pair of disposable slippers, which she handed over to the girl.
Xia Nuannuan heaved a sigh of relief after changing out of her shoes.
However, she still felt somewhat oppressed and overwhelmed by this place.
She had only ever seen such luxurious villas on the television.
From a young age, she had only ever been exposed to the life of an ordinary person, be it the surroundings that she had been born in, her school or later, her workplace.
Even Xia Yehua’s home was just a small three-story house.
But this… was quite something else. It was like a huge palace!
She gulped and looked up at Shen Zihao again.
For the first time she realized just how huge this gap was that existed between them.
She hung her head and took a step towards him. “Mr.- Mr. Shen…”
Ignoring what she was about to say, he interrupted her, “Wait for me here. I’ll go and get my identity card and household registration booklet.”
Xia Nuannuan was stumped.
Suddenly, she had developed an anxiety towards this marriage. What was she going to do?
The thought of having to live in such unfamiliar surroundings after her marriage made her extremely uncomfortable and frightened.
But when she looked up again, she found that Shen Zihao had disappeared around the corner.
She tried to follow him but by the time she got there, there was no sign of him. Probably, he had gone upstairs.
She stood still again, not daring to move.
She didn’t know where to stand. The floor was so pristine that she felt she couldn’t place her feet anywhere.
As she was fretting over this, she heard a woman’s voice saying, “Is Zihao back?”
“Yes, Madam, Young Master brought a girl home.”
“A girl?” came the curious reply. Xia Nuannuan immediately straightened her posture and looked ahead respectfully. Mei Feng appeared walking towards her in a set of golden pajamas, looking every inch the wealthy man’s wife she was.
She paused as she looked at Xia Nuannuan. “You are?”
Before she could speak, Mei Feng continued, “Oh, you must be Zihao’s friend.”
Then she frowned, “But it wasn’t you he brought home previously.”
Xia Nuannuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
She looked at Mei Feng with a puzzled expression. The woman saw that she was confused for a moment before she laughed and said, “Since you’re Zihao’s friend, do come in and take a seat. Senior Auntie Zhang, hurry up and get this young lady a drink.”
Xia Nuannuan hung her head at the woman’s friendliness.
She looked down at the tips of her toes and said, “It’s- it’s okay. I- I can wait for him here.”
