Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ever since the incident, Duan Yarong no longer simply allowed An Yue to go out, no matter what the reason was.
An Yue thought that Duan Yarong was making too huge a fuss out of this small issue. However, she could not bear to refuse Duan Yarong when she saw her nervous look. As such, she could only stay at home.
‘When she was free, she baked cookies and cupcakes and sent them to Joy.
Zhao Youlin was worried that Joy would have tooth decay if he ate too much. As such, she let Joy bring the pastries to school so that he could share them with his friends.
Although Joy felt that it was a waste, he obeyed Zhao Youlin’s words. After all, his friends in kindergarten often shared food with him.
Joy was relieved when he thought of this. As such, he happily brought a variety of cookies and cupcakes to the kindergarten and shared them with his friends for several days consecutively. As a result, this had helped him to gather another large number of fans.
Of course, all this would happen later.
Ever since that day, Zhao Youlin did not see Xu Huaining anymore. She did not inquire about him. After all, she was well-aware of Mu Tingfeng’s temperament. She knew that Mu Tingfeng certainly would not spare anyone who had the potential to threaten her in this world, At the very least, he would not let
the person continue to stay in Shalnork.
Zhao Youlin had threatened Xu Huaining without hesitation that day. As such, Xu Huaining had harbored ill will against her.
Certain people in this world were avoidable and not frightening. This was due to their overabundance of possessions. As a result, they had too many ties and were reluctant to give up. As long as one found something they were particularly concerned about, one could use it against them and force them to give
in.
However, certain people who owned nothing were different. They owned nothing and thus, they were not attached to anything, They could even do something crazy in order to achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, Xu Huaining was part of the latter. Not only was Zhao Youlin aware of it, but Mu Tingfeng was also very certain of it!
Originally, Zhao Youlin had been certain that was the end of that incident. Little did she know that this incident had instead led to other affairs that she had never expected.
One warm afternoon, the dazzling and bright sunlight shone on every corner of the city. A luxurious car slowly drove into the hustle and bustle of the traffic from a nearby airport.
“Uncle, what have you gained from the trip? Did you bring back any local specialties from Theaca* Nie Yunfan was paying attention to the traffic congestion while chatting with the fatigued Nie Xingzhi, who sat in the back seat.
Nie Xingzhi looked exhausted. His face sank and he acted as if he was not happy. “Kid, I went there to handle some serious business instead of on vacation. How am I able to bring back the local specialties?”
Young Master Nie was aware of his uncle’s temperament. How could he not understand that his uncle was actually in a very good mood? The comers of his lips curled upward as he said depressively, “I know you went to Theaca for some serious business. But, Uncle, you used to bring back local specialties to
my parents and me in the past. Could it be… Uncle, could it be that you had a romantic encounter in Theaca, and had been so indulged in the relations.h.i.+p until you forgot to..”
“Rascal, what are you talking about? Do you really think that everyone else is as playful as you are? How many times do your parents have to remind you? If you continue like this, no other innocent girls would dare to marry you.” Nie Xingzhi acted as if he was angry and refuted Nie Yunfan upon hearing his
words. In fact, he actually looked as if he did not know if he should laugh or cry.
After so many years, Nie Xingzhi only had one person on his mind. He did not have any desire to be involved in a romantic relations.h.i.+p with any women, much less with the addition of…
Nie Xingzhi’’s eyes fluttered when he recalled the gains he had during the period of time in Theaca. However, no one knew what he exactly had in his mind at that moment.
Of course, Nie Yunfan, who sat in the front seat, did not notice the change in expression on Nie Xingzhi at that moment as he took on a far more affectionate gaze. When Nie Yunfan heard Nie Xingzhi dig into his past, he could no longer bear to hear it and pleaded, “Uncle, you’re my genuine uncle. Those were
the past when I was still very young and innocent. Could you please stop mentioning them? I already have someone I truly like in my mind. If she were to hear all this, I’m afraid that I couldn’t even court her, much less marry her.”
Upon hearing what Nie Yunfan had said, Nie Xingzhi schooled his face and quirked his eyebrows in surprise. “What did you say? You have found someone whom you truly like? How refres.h.i.+ng is this? I never thought you would actually fall in love with a woman? Besides, judging from your words, it looks like
you have not courted her. Sob… I wonder which lady is so down in luck to the point that she became a playboy’s target.”
Nie Yunfan was rendered speechless when his uncle kept stabbing him at his tender spot. He did not know whether he should laugh or cry. “Uncle, are you truly my uncle? How could you criticize your own nephew like this?”
“Not your real uncle, huh? Fan, are you suspecting your grandfather’s loyalty to your grandmother?”
Nie Yunfan was rendered speechless.
“I don’t mean to upset you. However, based on your previous behavior, I have to consider things on behalf of the innocent girl to save her from being hurt. You are the apple of your family’s eyes. Likewise, the girl is also her family’s precious daughter. You should consider things in their shoes. I’m afraid
you’ve gone too far, to the point where you’ll be killed by her family by accident someday. At the end of the day, you would only upset your parents and me.”
Nie Yunfan responded to him, “Fine. You win. I am inferior to you!”
Nie Xingzhi had enough of teasing Nie Yunfan before he returned to the main topic and asked curiously, “Speaking of which, Iam curious about the rich lady who caught your attention. I wonder which lady is so attractive to the point that the young master of the Nie family could give up on the rest of the
women for her sake.”
Nie Yunfan grinned. When the traffic on the front road became congested, he came to a halt, holding the steering wheel with one hand while scratching his check embarra.s.singly with the other. “She is not a rich lady. She’s a wild girl with a short fuse who can easily get into a fight.”
Nie Xingzhi quirked one of his eyebrows. Ever since Nie Yunfan was born, this was Nie Xingzhi’s first time noticing his nephew’s current expression. Like Nie Yunfan mentioned, it seemed like he began to learn to restrain himself.
Nie Xingzhi faked a cough. He was forced to hold back his laughter and asked tentatively, ‘A wild girl?”
Nie Yunfan hesitated for a while. When the traffic in front of him began to move and the vehicles behind him started to honk impatiently, he started the engine and moved to the side while responding embarra.s.sedly, “Uncle, do you still remember attending Chen’s wedding last time? Chen is my good buddy,
as well as the newly recovered eldest young master of the Zhao family.”
‘When Nie Xingzhi heard Nie Yunfan mention Han Yichen, his eyes lit up. He began to have a speculation in his heart. However, he remained calm on the surface. “I remember him., What’s the matter? Is the eldest young master of the Zhao family related to your dream girl? Have you fallen for.”
