The answer was obviously no. An Qi reluctantly invited Nie Yunfan into the house. She had no choice but to find some paper to wipe Nie Yunfan’s nosebleed to prevent Nie Yunfan from losing too much blood and collapsing in her own house. She also had some part to play in it.
Nie Yunfan probably also believed that his appearance was very lame. He took the paper and giggled foolishly. “I’ve eaten too much hotpot recently. Body’s been too heaty.”
An Qi was speechless. ‘Did you think I’d believe such a stupid explanation?
Perhaps he soon realized that his explanation was too silly. Nie Yunfan scratched his nose with an awkward expression.
After finally stopping Nie Yunfan’s nosebleed, An Qi finally let out a sigh of relief. She sat opposite Nie Yunfan and went straight to the point. “Mr. Nie, why are you here today?”
Nie Yunfan’s nostrils were still stuffed with paper. Only then did he realize that An Qi was still being distant with the way she addressed him. He coughed lightly, with a smile, he said, “No matter what, I am Ah Chen’s good brother. Calling me Mr. Nie is too harsh. Just call me Yun Fan.”
An Qi was stunned for a moment. When she looked at Nie Yunfan’s face, she was a little embarrassed to speak.
Nie Yunfan looked at An Qi with a face full of expectation. For a long time, he didn’t hear An Yue open her mouth. The light in his eyes dimmed bit by bit. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask An Qi not to force herself… he heard An Qi sigh. “Alright, Yun Fan.”
Nie Yunfan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze grew intense.
An Qi shivered when she saw this. Goosebumps shot up all over her body, and she suddenly regretted giving in.
Nie Yunfan didn’t care if his eyes were too intense and was scaring An Qi. At that moment, his mind was only filled with one thing. An Qi had called his name! It was no longer Mr. Nie, but his actual name!
An Qi was growing nervous. She cleared her throat and took the initiative to call out, “Yun Fan, Yun Fan…”
Nie Yunfan seemed to have woken up from a dream and smiled foolishly. “What is it?”
An Qi finally couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him and said helplessly, “I should be the one asking you this question. Why have you come to see me today?”
Only then did Nie Yunfan remember the real purpose of his visit today. The smile on his face immediately disappeared. He sighed and didn’t say anything.
An Qi saw that he was stunned for a moment, and the slight displeasure from before also became unbearable. She asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Nie Yunfan had been waiting for her words. His heart was blooming with joy, but on the surface, he pretended to have nothing to live for. He said in a muffled voice, “Yue Yue has acknowledged my uncle, do you know that?”
Upon hearing this, An Qi’s expression changed. The hands hanging in front of her subconsciously tightened a little. After a long time, she stammered, “I know.”
Of course, she knew. She and An Yue had been sisters for so many years. Although they were not blood-related, they were closer than anyone else. How could An Yue not discuss such an important matter like Nie Xingzhi with her?
Not only did she discuss it with her, but the reason why An Yue acknowledged Nie Xingzhi so quickly was also because she had persuaded her to.
Although she was reluctant to push her sister out and let her become someone else’s child, Nie Xingzhi was still An Yue’s biological father. No one could deny the blood relationship between them.
At that time, when she found out that Nie Xingzhi was An Yue’s biological father, she was so angry because she had always thought that An Yue and An Yue’s mom were abandoned by her father. Now that the truth was out… everything was just a misunderstanding. Moreover, An Yue’s father had
wholeheartedly sought her out. She couldn’t be so selfish to hide An Yue and let her only be her family.
Nie Yunfan could hear the bitterness in An Qi’s tone. His heart ached slightly, but he had no choice but to maintain a mournful expression on his face. He sighed. “After Yue Yue acknowledged my uncle, she became our family’s little princess. Then, I, the former little prince, became outdated and became a
wild child that no one wanted.”
When Nie Yunfan said these words, he used a tone that was both sorrowful and mournful. Coupled with his bitter face, An Qi couldn’t hold it in for a moment and burst into laughter.
This time, it was Nie Yunfan who was stunned. He stared with wide eyes at the rare smile that An Qi showed to him.
An Qi didn’t notice Nie Yunfan’s strange behavior. The trace of unhappiness that arose from Nie Yunfan mentioning An Yue’s matter also disappeared at this moment. She advised with a smile, “Why are you being such a drama-queen? Yue Yue has wandered outside for so long and suffered a lot. Now that
she has finally been found, the elders of the Nie family would naturally try to play catch-up. As her elder brother, why are you getting jealous?”
Nie Yunfan hurriedly asked, “Am I such a petty person?”
An Qi raised her eyebrows in a questioning look.
Nie Yunfan choked and said seriously, “Yue Yue suffered a lot because she was wandering outside. Of course, I know that, so I won’t argue with her because of this, but…”
“But?”
“But my parents saw that Yue Yue was younger than me, and yet she got married earlier than me, and now she even has a child, s
“So?”
Nie Yunfan was embarrassed for a moment, and his face turned red. He said, “So my parents also became anxious. Recently, they began to urge me to find a girlfriend, and… They even planned to have me go on a blind date!”
An Qi was stunned. After a long time, she finally understood the main point of Nie Yunfan’s long speech, and she burst into laughter again.
‘When he saw An Qi laugh, Nie Yunfan felt helpless, but also a little happy.
It turned out that if you liked someone, you couldn’t help but be happy with her just by looking at her laugh. He had never felt this way before.
“You’re still laughing!” Nie Yunfan pretended to be indignant and looked at An Qi with sad eyes.
An Qi almost laughed out loud. She also realized that it was a little unkind of her to laugh at An Qi in such a manner. She composed herself and said with a straight face, “Okay, I won’t laugh, I won’t laugh…”
Even though she said that, her sparkling eyes betrayed her.
Nie Yunfan secretly observed the change in An Qi’s expression as he continued to act it out until the end. “Sigh, because of this, I don’t even dare to go home now.”
An Qi nodded, rubbed her chin, and thought for a moment. “In that case, you are indeed quite pitiful, but is there any necessary connection between this and you coming to find me today?”
“Of course there is!” Nie Yunfan suddenly jumped up and placed his hands on the table. He came in front of An Qi, looked straight into her eyes, and said righteously, “I have no home to go back to!”
An Qi was shocked by his sudden action. She reflexively shrank back and asked weakly,”… So?”
“I want to live in your home!”
