The ruby necklace was of excellent quality. It was surrounded by rhinestones, making it look extremely luxurious.

Yu Xiang revealed a shy smile and looked at Nie Hong with a hint of shyness and gentleness.

“Alright, alright, I understand.” Her shy expression attracted Nie Hong to kiss her.

The two of them exchanged a long kiss.

This was a private room. Without Nie Hong’s orders, no one would come in and disturb them. Nie Hong was not afraid of being discovered.

Even if he met someone he knew when he went out, he could say that he was eating with his team member. Over the past half a year, he gone on dates with Yu Xiang dozens of times, so it could be said that he was familiar with the place.

“But we can’t always be like this. My family has been urging me to get married recently. Your wife doesn’t have a job and your son is so young. You’ll definitely abandon me after playing with me in the future.”

Yu Xiang stroked the necklace on her neck and estimated the price. As she looked at Nie Hong, her tears were about to fall.

Her family was not good. If she wanted to stay in Hai City, where every inch of land was valuable, the best way was to find a man to marry. And Nie Hong was undoubtedly a very good partner.

She could not become a plaything for him to play with. She had to obtain this man completely, no matter what.

“I know. Just wait for me to settle everything. Don’t be anxious.” Nie Hong had been in society for so many years, so he naturally knew Yu Xiang’s thoughts. “I’m sincere to you. I don’t like that old hag at home.”

Yu Xiang’s eyes darkened. She had also heard of that old hag. Back then, Bai Ying was also a flower in the marketing department. Ever since she got married and had children, her face and figure had collapsed.

Yu Xiang heard from the elders in the department that ever since Bai Ying gave birth, she had not even posted on her Moments. She wondered how ugly she had become.

How could such a woman, who did not even have a good figure and appearance, have a good man and family?

Yu Xiang leaned into Nie Hong’s arms and despised Bai Ying from the bottom of her heart.

Her husband left in a rage, and Bai Ying lost her appetite. She quickly prepared some dinner and went to her neighbor’s house to pick up her son.

The neighbor was a kind grandmother. Her family was not in Hai City, and she liked Bai Ying’s child, Nie, Nuo. Usually, when Bai Ying had something to do and was busy, she would entrust her child to the grandmother.

At this moment, the two of them were probably drawing in the park, so Bai Ying went to the park.

When they reached the park, Bai Ying was stunned.

Nuonuo was lying on a ball of white and drawing with a crayon. On one side stood the helpless grandma and a few people carrying clothes and cameras.

“You’re this child’s mother?” One of the men carrying a camera walked over.

This man was about the same age as Bai Ying. He was wearing a sleeveless black vest, revealing the tattoos on his arms. He had strong eyebrows and a cold expression, looking very fierce.

“We’re internet celebrities. We were filming here today and placed one of the samples by the side. Perhaps it’s because the child was playful and wanted to draw when he saw that the clothes are white, so he drew over it like this.”

When Bai Ying heard that it was an internet celebrity filming, she felt a little dizzy. Such clothes were usually custom-made and could not be washed. How much money would that cost? Could she afford it? If she lost money, wouldn’t she be criticized by her husband again?

“I’m really sorry. I want to ask how much your clothes cost and why you didn’t put away your expensive clothes.” Bai Ying was a little anxious. She kept bowing, and her words were a little incoherent.

“This is a sample dress. It hasn’t been priced yet. We’ll only be able to know the exact amount later, but since we didn’t watch over the clothes on our part, you only need to compensate us a portion.”

Seeing that Bai Ying’s attitude was okay, the man softened his tone and took out his phone. “Add me on WeChat first. I’ll contact you after the filming is over.”

The man added Bai Ying’s WeChat. “Miss Bai?” Bai Ying’s WeChat name was her full name.

“Yes.” Bai Ying nodded. “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”

She brought Nie Nuo home with mixed feelings.

“Brother Luo, we could’ve made this woman pay all the money. After all, her child is the main person at fault.” The little assistant looked at the man in confusion.

“It’s obvious that that woman is taking care of the child herself. She came out alone to look for the child so late at night. Something had happened and didn’t look for her man. It’s obvious that her man doesn’t care.”
