Chapter 92 Sprinkling Sweetness
As expected, the special assistant, secretary, driver, and bodyguards were all severely reprimanded by Master Lu.
The group of people stood there like quail eggs, meekly listening to the reprimand.
Old Master Lu glanced at them and said sternly, "If there's a next time, you're all fired."
"Chairman, we will definitely keep an eye on President Lu from now on," the special assistant assured him first. The others echoed his sentiments.
"You may all leave now!" the butler said.
Upon hearing this, the special assistant, secretary, driver, and bodyguards quickly left the ward.
Old Master Lu closed his eyes, leaned on his cane, and after three seconds of contemplation, slowly said, "My grandson has always been a heartless man, but I never thought he would fall for a woman one day."
The butler remained silent.
Old Master Lu said calmly, "I'd rather he inherited this trait from his philandering father. Playing around with women is fine, but true feelings are the worst thing." He knew his grandson well; he was arrogant to the core, and this was the first time he'd ever gotten himself into this state because of a woman.
After careful consideration, the butler said, "Young Master may just be having a whim; he'll be fine in a while."
Old Master Lu remained silent.
half an hour.
He said, "Go and send an invitation to the Yan family. I will personally visit them tomorrow."
The butler paused for a moment, then bowed his head and replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."
He knew that Old Master Lu couldn't swallow this insult and planned to put pressure on Yanting through the Yan family.
-
On the hospital bed, Lu Huai lay with his eyes tightly closed, cold sweat pouring down his pale forehead, clearly trapped in a nightmare.
No one could see that he was emitting a faint glow.
The fluorescent light drifted toward the window, then slipped through the crack in the window, and finally disappeared.
-
Port city.
Yanzhai.
Yan Nan listened to the thunder outside the window.
He seemed somewhat lost in thought.
He suddenly remembered that when he was little, whenever there was thunder outside, Xiao Yanting would be scared and call for his brother.
At that time, although he was impatient with the little one, he still patiently held her and coaxed her to sleep.
This is why Xiao Yanting became increasingly attached to him later on.
Yan Nan's feelings for this younger sister are extremely complicated.
He does not crave family affection, friendship, or love.
The psychologist said he was naturally emotionally detached.
That is indeed the case.
Other children love their parents, but Yan Nan does not.
Despite his parents' care and concern, he remained largely unmoved.
Sometimes I even find them quite annoying.
If the parents are like this, what about the younger sister?
Other people are overjoyed when their younger sister is born, and the older brother even vows to protect his sister and not let her be bullied.
When Yan Nan first saw Yan Ting, her first thought was that she looked like she could be easily strangled.
Yanting weighed only six and a half pounds when she was born. She was so tiny that when she cried, she looked like a kitten, which was very pitiful.
At that time, Yan Nan, who was only a few years old, keenly sensed that his mother, Li Qian, seemed to like this daughter a little too much.
She might be complaining that she almost lost half her life giving birth to this child.
At first, Li Qian still had some maternal love for Yan Ting, but this love was quickly exhausted by a series of events that followed.
Li Qian began to hate this daughter.
I felt that her arrival made her life unhappy.
Yan Nan coldly watched his biological mother's hysteria.
It was the first time I had ever seen my mother so ugly.
But what does Yanting's pitiful state have to do with him?
He thought to himself indifferently.
But from some point onwards, Xiao Yanting began to stick to Yannan, following him wherever he went.
Yan Nan is very annoyed.
Nobody likes having a tagalong following them around.
Moreover, he never had any feelings for this younger sister to begin with.
But whenever Yan Nan shooed Xiao Yan Ting away with a long face, she would always walk away looking aggrieved, and then after a while she would run over as if nothing had happened and sweetly call him "brother".
My older brother is long, my older brother is short.
Over time, Yan Nan actually got used to having this little rice ball sticking to him from behind.
When Yanting was a child, she was very well-behaved and sensible.
If you tell her to wait obediently outside, she will wait obediently and will never run away.
When she sees her brother being bullied by thugs, Xiao Yanting will get so angry that she will stand in front of Yannan to protect him.
She always brings out something fun to share with her brother first.
While Yan Nan was doing his homework, Xiao Yanting would quietly lie there and watch him.
When Yanting plays ball with his friends, he sits there with a mineral water bottle, watching his brother play.
After her brother finishes playing ball, she will run over to him, call out to him, and then hand him water.
At that time, the students in Yanting were extremely envious.
"If I had such a cute little sister, I would definitely spoil her."
Yan Nan didn't quite understand her classmates' thinking.
However, it is undeniable that for a long time after that, he and Yanting did indeed become siblings with a deep bond in the conventional sense.
In junior high school, Yanting grew to 1.65 meters tall, becoming a graceful and beautiful young woman.
She became the goddess of many boys in middle school.
This included Yan Nan's brothers.
"Brother Nan, your sister looks like a porcelain doll, she's so beautiful."
"If I were a few years younger, I would definitely be pursuing a younger woman," someone joked.
"Does she even want you? Go ahead and pursue her. Aren't you afraid that Brother Nan, who's a total siscon, will beat you up?"
However, Yan Nan only found them noisy.
Physical appearance is far too superficial to him.
The rumor about him being a "sister complex" is utterly absurd.
Yan Nan didn't feel any deep sibling affection between him and Yan Ting. He just enjoyed the indescribable pleasure of being treated as a lifeline by Yan Ting.
Whenever Yanting was in dire straits, the first person he thought of was him.
Only he could save her.
Yan Nan was fascinated by the power to control the life and death of others.
But why did it change later?
It seems that it was from the time Yanting started having her own friends and her own circle that she stopped clinging to Yannan like before.
Or perhaps it was from the moment Yan Nan vaguely realized that his feelings for Yan Ting were not like those of normal siblings that he began to feel annoyed, annoyed with himself, annoyed with everyone, including Yan Ting's existence.
Yan Nan began to ignore Yan Ting, treat her coldly, distance herself from her, and disregard the difficulties she faced.
For him, Yanting was a mistake.
So on the day Li Qian forcibly sent Yan Ting away from the Yan family, Yan Nan did not stop her, but let them lock Yan Ting in the car and send her away.
From that moment on, the relationship between the brother and sister was completely shattered.
The appearance of Xu Rou further exacerbated this deterioration.
Yan Nan's act of speaking to Xu Rouhao in front of everyone was actually meant to prove that it didn't make much difference to him who his sister was.
However, when Yan Nan learned a few days ago that Yan Ting had voluntarily moved out of the Yan family home, a strange feeling still flashed through his mind. It was like someone was tickling his heart with a feather. The feeling was not obvious, but it was still uncomfortable.
It felt like he had lost someone who would be very important to him in the future.
-
the next day.
When she came across the financial news about Lu Huai being sick and hospitalized, Yan Ting's expression didn't change at all. She immediately pressed the remote control to change the program.
Whether Lu Huai lives or dies has absolutely nothing to do with Yan Ting.
"Meow~" The cat, Guifei, ran around Chen Xiao in the kitchen.
Yan Ting lay cross-legged on the sofa, watching TV for a while, then glancing at Chen Xiao who was busy in the kitchen.
This was the first time she had ever seen Chen Xiao cook.
Yes, ever since Yanting confessed her feelings to Chen Xiao, the two have officially started living together.
"Madam, your coffee is ready." Doraemon slid his wheels and handed the tray to Yanting.
Yan Ting raised an eyebrow, picked up her coffee, and took a small sip.
I thought it might not taste very good.
But to my surprise, Doraemon's coffee-making skills were surprisingly good.
The coffee wasn't very sweet at first, with a light, refreshing aroma, and only towards the end did you faintly taste a hint of sweetness.
"Meow." The cat princess was very curious about the huge robot cat, and she stretched out her paw to scratch it.
Doraemon remained motionless.
The cat, the Imperial Concubine, scratched again.
Doraemon remained motionless.
The cat princess was a little angry, and she meowed at the robot cat.
Doraemon remained motionless.
Upon seeing this, Yan Ting couldn't help but laugh.
Feeling mocked, the cat princess leaped onto Doraemon's head using the coffee table as a shield, placing her paws on Doraemon's head and meowing triumphantly.
"Pretty capable, huh?" Chen Xiao, who had just come out of the kitchen, saw the cat princess standing on Doraemon's head and said with a half-smile, "Are you taking advantage of her good temper?"
Doraemon: ...
Finally, someone has spoken up for it.
But the next second.
The cat concubine snuggled directly into Yanting's arms, meowing sweetly and affectionately.
She's definitely a green tea cat.
Yanting stroked the cat Guifei a few times, coaxing it like a child: "It's okay, it will listen to you from now on."
The cat princess was satisfied.
It meowed at Doraemon.
Doraemon: ...
Yan Ting looked up at Chen Xiao, who had opened the refrigerator.
His outfit today was very casual, and he wore an apron because he was going to cook.
It's amazing.
Chen Xiao looked more charming than usual.
Yan Ting thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Chen Xiao wanted to say no, but then changed his mind and asked, "Could you help me peel some garlic?"
He could tell that Yanting was sitting there somewhat bored.
As expected, Yanting immediately replied, "Okay."
Yanting has long, full fingernails, which makes peeling garlic quite convenient.
In no time, the garlic was almost all peeled.
She just accidentally used too much force and crushed a few cloves of garlic into tiny pieces.
Yan Ting: "..."
She glanced at Chen Xiao, who was cooking in the kitchen, and secretly poured all the chopped garlic into the trash can to destroy the evidence.
Seeing this, the cat princess meowed.
Yan Ting shushed it.
Then, when she looked up, she met Chen Xiao's gaze.
"What are you shushing about?" He stared at her with amusement.
Yan Ting: "..."
Then, she said in a serious tone, "It's nothing, I was just teasing the cat."
"Right? Cat Consort."
The cat, Guifei, glanced at her, then at Chen Xiao, and meowed a few times.
Chen Xiao didn't care; he just wanted to tease the little girl.
"Have you finished peeling the garlic?"
Yanting quickly handed over the small bowl containing the garlic: "It's peeled."
Chen Xiao glanced at the garlic in the bowl; each clove had been peeled clean.
"It was peeled beautifully."
"..." For some reason, it gave me a sense of déjà vu, like when I was being praised by my teacher in kindergarten.
Yanting didn't know.
This is Chen Xiao's habit.
The little girl has always loved being praised.
Whenever she did a good deed, the Yan family would praise her and reward her.
Having grown up surrounded by love, Yan Ting's personality is much more confident, cheerful, and domineering than that of someone who grew up in this world.
As childhood sweethearts, Chen Xiao naturally imitated the adults in praising his little sweetheart with affection.
The most outrageous thing is that when Xiao Yanting caused trouble, Xiao Chenxiao not only didn't scold her, but also tolerated her and took the blame for her.
As for how many times he's been unfairly blamed, it's impossible to count them all.
After the meal is ready.
Yanting took the initiative to run into the kitchen to serve the dishes.
Although Chen Xiao only prepared a few simple dishes, almost every dish was one that Yan Ting loved to eat.
During meal.
Chen Xiao would occasionally pick up some food for Yan Ting, saying, "Try it."
Yanting took a bite of the potato slice and nodded, saying, "Very delicious."
Chen Xiao smiled.
But as if he had thought of something, the emotion in his eyes dimmed.
This meal might have been just an ordinary meal for Yanting, but for Chen Xiao, it was the first time in many years that he had gone through so much trouble to finally let the little girl eat his cooking again.
Chen Xiao looked at the little girl who was engrossed in eating and was momentarily dazed.
It felt like I was back in the past, when my family, brothers, and friends would gather together for a lively meal.
"Ah Xiao?" Yan Ting's voice interrupted Chen Xiao's thoughts.
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Yan Ting thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want most right now?"
She wanted to buy Chen Xiao a gift.
I also want to make up for Chen Xiao's birthday celebration before.
Yan Ting glanced at the Buddhist prayer beads on Chen Xiao's wrist, surprised that he had been wearing them all along.
For a moment, she wanted to make amends to Chen Xiao.
Yanting plans to attend a jewelry auction dinner hosted by Yancheng in a couple of days.
I plan to choose a bracelet that is more suitable for Chen Xiao to wear at the dinner party.
"What do you want most?" Chen Xiao curled his lips and looked at Yan Ting. "I don't want anything."
"..."
Undeterred, Yanting asked, "Really not?"
Chen Xiao said slowly and deliberately, "I did have a treasure that I wanted most before."
"What is it?" Yan Ting asked instinctively.
"you."
Yan Ting was speechless for a moment.
Chen Xiao stared at her and smiled softly: "I've already gotten what I wanted most."
Yan Ting's cheeks flushed, and after a long while, she asked softly, "Is there nothing else you want besides me?"
Chen Xiao propped his cheek up with one hand and chuckled lazily, "Yes!"
I want to kiss you.
I want to hug you.
"I want to sleep with you."
He paused for a moment, then said frankly, "Yes, I still want to marry you."
