Chapter 928: Auntie
The flames got bigger and bigger. Even though they were very far away, the air here gradually became warmer.
After witnessing this crude yet effective method, the Nangong brothers were speechless.
Seeing that Zhong Nuannuan stopped inserting needles into his daughter’s heart, Nangong Jin asked, “Nuannuan, how’s Ling’er doing?”
“This illness originated from her mother’s womb and it’s a severe one. Acupuncture alone won’t be able to cure her completely. For her to recover completely, we can only operate on her.”
“Then, can you soothe my little sister of her pain before her operation?” Nangong Xu, who had been unnaturally calm for a child, finally opened his mouth. He was completely unaffected by the gunfight and the explosion that Selina and the rest had created to quickly start a fire.
Zhong Nuannuan looked at Nangong Xu sternly. To be honest, even Zhong Nuannuan was surprised by Nangong Xu’s calm composure.
This child’s mental fort.i.tude was not only superior to ordinary people—even trained killers could not be as calm as him.
Nangong Xu met Zhong Nuannuan’s gaze without fear. His obsidian-like eyes were beaming with antic.i.p.ation.
There was a light blue tinge on Nangong Xu’s lips from the cold, but he ignored it completely. Zhong Nuannuan could not help but take off her coat and cover him in it. Then, she petted his head affectionately and said, “Don’t worry, before she fully recovers from the surgery, I’ll definitely think of a way to ease her pain.”
After Nangong Xu heard Zhong Nuannuan’s promise, he broke into a wide smile.
Winter in KYC Island was below -15 degrees Celsius, but the sunlight was perfect.
The gentle rays of the sun shone on Nangong Xu’s smiling childish face. He looked as cherubic as a child that had crawled out of a painting.
Just as Zhong Nuannuan was busy melting from Nangong Xu’s smile—her eyes blinking from his bright eyes—he unexpectedly reached out his short arms and wrapped them around Nuannuan.
Other than Chi Yang, Zhong Nuannuan disliked hugs.
Yet, for some reason, Zhong Nuannuan liked Nangong Xu’s hug very, very much.
Just as Zhong Nuannuan was surprised by how much she liked this hug, Nangong Xu whispered into her ear, “Thank you, Auntie.”
Zhong Nuannuan froze. “…!!!”
Nangong Xu said it very softly. Selina and the other two could not hear him, but the four Young Masters of the Nangong family heard him clearly. Their bodies froze in place too.
Nangong Xu wriggled out of Zhong Nuannuan’s embrace and looked at his father and uncles. “The woman called Zhong Qianqian that you guys found previously isn’t my auntie at all. This unbelievably beautiful sister is my real auntie. Lil Ling’er and I will never acknowledge Zhong Qianqian as our aunt. You guys can either acknowledge my real auntie, or Lil Ling’er and I will stay at my auntie’s house and never return home.”
The Young Masters of the Nangong family had yet to react to how their Lil Sun knew that Nuannuan was the real little princess of the Nangong family. Before they could react, Lil Ling’er, who had her eyes shut the whole time, had her illness alleviated. She opened her big eyes that were like black grapes and called out in her tender voice—
“Auntie…”
Seeing that Zhong Nuannuan ignored her, Lil Ling’er started to get a little anxious. She reached out a chubby hand and tried to tug at Zhong Nuannuan.
