The grey-blue sofa made the entire living room look deep and cold, as if the man sitting on the sofa was emitting some sort of aura.
"Uncle." The young girl"s childish voice resounded in the silent night.
Nangong Yao turned his head to look at her, "Didn"t you say you don"t want to come down?"
"I"m alone up there, scared." As she ran, the hem of her dress fluttered. Very quickly, she sat beside Nangong Yao and wrapped her arms around the man"s arm, "Uncle, are you really going to bring me to see her tomorrow?"
"She"s your mother." Back then, his elder brother had left in a car accident, leaving her, who was not even four years old, and her mother was extremely famous. In order to work, he had ruthlessly left her behind, Nangong Yao"s parents were not in good health, at that time, Nangong Siqing was alone every day. Every day she cried, Nangong Yao would bring her along with him.
Even in a meeting, he had seen the scene of someone hugging her while sitting in the meeting room. At that time, those close ones had pitied him, and those who didn"t know anything suspected that he was a young man with a child.
As she grew older, he also didn"t want to keep her by his side. Therefore, he had only taken a leave of absence for three months, allowing her to return home to study. He had already contacted her mother, and she was willing to bring her daughter back to his side.
"She flaunted me. In my heart, uncle is my family." Nangong Siqing held the man"s arm even tighter. "You are my father."
Hearing her say this, Nangong Yao"s serious expression turned into a smile, "Siqing, I"m just your uncle. Nangong Yao listened to her saying this, and his serious expression turned into a smile," Siqing, I"m just your uncle.
"She"s a stranger to me. I don"t want to see her." Tears suddenly rolled out of Nangong Siqing"s eyes. She shook her head pitifully, "Uncle, do you dislike me? When I grew up, you just felt I"m not cute. Do you want to find an aunt to marry off and have another baby? "
Nangong Yao was slightly startled, but immediately said in a serious tone, "Siqing, uncle is 32 years old this year. I am indeed looking for a wife to have a child as a companion."
"I don"t want it, I don"t want it!" Nangong Siqing jumped away from him abruptly. With tears filling her eyes, she said, "Uncle will definitely not love me anymore once he has a baby."
"Siqing!" He had never thought that this child would be so dependent on him. Four years ago, when he returned to his homeland, he found the woman who had saved his mother"s life. At that time, he was very moved and wanted to have a further start with her, but unfortunately, that night, a nine year old Nangong Siqing was about to cut his wrist with a knife.
Now, he had accompanied her for another four years. He thought that if she grew older, her mind would become mature and mature, but in reality, he seemed to be wrong.
Just as the atmosphere was in a deadlock, the doorbell rang. Nangong Siqing took a look outside the door before turning around and sprinting up the stairs.
Nangong Yao furrowed his brows and a servant came over. Nangong Yao waved his hand, "I will go by myself." The servant then left. Nangong Yao walked towards the door with heavy steps. Pa.s.sing through the beautiful courtyard, he opened a small door at the entrance.
The street lamp beside the small door reflected a face that left a deep impression on him, and he instantly lost his soul.
Ling Nua
uan stood outside the door, and Mu Yun, who she had forcefully dragged over to serve as a lobbyist.
"It"s you?" Mu Yun also recognized Nangong Yao because his facial features were very deep, with a hint of mixed bloods in them. It was all thanks to his pair of eyes.
Nangong Yao"s breathing slowed down. He really did not expect to see such a stu
ing person in this calm and unpredictable night.
"It"s me!" Nangong Yao"s thin lips moved slightly as he laughed shyly. His gaze uncontrollably landed on Mu Yun"s face.
Ling Nua
uan looked at the two of them in surprise. "No way, you two know each other?" "I didn"t say that earlier."
"No, I just met him once." Mu Yun replied indifferently.
Nangong Yao had a somewhat complicated expression on his face. He remembered when he personally went to the school to look for the princ.i.p.al, in order to meet her, he even made the princ.i.p.al pressure him to help teach his niece. Unfortunately, after the incident where he cut off his wrist, he did not dare to say anything more.
"Please come in and have a chat." Nangong Yao regained his senses and suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. He pretended to be calm as he spoke.
The two women walked in. Ling Nua
uan looked around and was amazed. "So wealthy indeed. The garden was built so well and so extravagantly."
Mu Yun, however, was a bit stuffy. She always had the feeling that she was being toyed with on that side back then.
Even though she wasn"t willing to become a home tutor, she had an appointment for the evening and a call came in saying that everything had been cancelled. What did she take it for?
As Nangong Yao walked in the back, his eyes could not help but fall on Mu Yun. So many years have pa.s.sed, has she gotten married yet? Do you have a boyfriend?
His heart was in turmoil, he wanted to ask but was unable to. Nangong Yao"s heart was in pain.
After entering the living room, Nangong Yao had a servant bring over some fruits and drinks and put a table full of exquisite items. Ling Nua
uan and Mu Yun sat on the sofa and exchanged a look.
"Cough ??" Siqing is my niece! " Nangong Yao was also a little embarra.s.sed. Back then, he had lied to her that she was his little sister, but in reality, she was his niece. Thus, this sentence of his could be considered an explanation to Mu Yun.
"I know, Siqing told me today." Ling Nua
uan was an outsider, so she didn"t understand what he meant. She immediately smiled and nodded.
"Are you the head of Sunless"s office? I"m sorry, I wasn"t in the country a while ago, so I haven"t been able to meet up with you. " Nangong Yao thought that Ling Nua
uan was the form teacher and he immediately apologized. I just accepted their cla.s.s today, so it"s definitely for the best if I can see you once. Siqing doesn"t like to talk at school, and she doesn"t seem to be very attentive in cla.s.s, as if she has something on her mind. As her parent, do you care about this? " Ling Nua
uan immediately threw out the question to see his reaction.
Nangong Yao"s expression sank and he spoke in a low voice, "It"s like this, Siqing is my niece and has been raised by me. She has a strong dependence on me and sending her back to school is not a happy thing for her."
"What about his parents?" Mu Yun suddenly asked.
Nangong Yao"s expression was somewhat sorrowful, "My elder brother pa.s.sed away many years ago. Her mother is developing in the country, the reason I sent her back to the country is to let her be closer to her mother. In the future, we can live by her side."
"Then does Elder Nan Gong know Siqing"s thoughts? Can you persuade her? " Ling Nua
uan was a little taken aback. She couldn"t tell that this n.o.ble and n.o.ble man before her had actually raised her niece. This kins.h.i.+p was truly great.
"I... I"ve been trying to persuade her. " A trace of helplessness flashed across Nangong Yao"s handsome face, "In the past, when she was young, I wanted to wait until she grew up before mentioning the matter of separation. But now, she has grown up, I ?? If I mention it, she will lose her temper, and I don"t know how to deal with her. "
"Excuse me, is Mister Nangong married?" Ling Nua
uan said with a smile.
Nangong Yao quickly looked at Mu Yun. Mu Yun was also staring at him in a daze. After not seeing him for a few years, this man seemed to have become a little more attractive.
"No, I"ve always been single." Nangong Yao answered very straightforwardly.
