“I understand.”
Before Nuannuan could speak, Chi Yang spoke.
“Chi Yang, I want to hear from Nuannuan,” Leng Jinpeng said.
Nuannuan nodded at Chi Yang and responded, “I was abducted when I was 3 years old and returned home when I was 17 years old. There was a 14-year interval. Although I also wanted to return home and find my real family, I’d been separated from them for too long.
“Due to my identity, many people in the Luntan approached me, so I ordered people to fake my identity. I was afraid that my parents would also turn out to be one of them who cared not about my existence but only approached me because of my identity.”
Zhong Nuannuan glanced at Chi Yang. “It’s just that I didn’t expect Big Brother Chi Yang to suddenly make a marriage report at the military base, and my father unilaterally agreed on my behalf.”
Leng Jinpeng interrupted. “If that’s really the case, then it’s not your fault. Chi Yang’s marriage report was indeed done without your knowledge and Zhong Kuijun’s.”
Zhong Nuannuan nodded.
“You can contact the palace through the Luntan embassy. My identity is public, so it’ll be easy to find out. My father already knows what’s going on with me, so he plans to make a trip to Camino soon. When the time comes, he’ll contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Then, Zhong Nuannuan wrote down a number that she could not be more familiar with.
“This is my dad’s private number. If Uncle Leng is in a hurry to gain confirmation, you can call him directly.”
Leng Jinpeng held the string of numbers in his hand with complex emotions surging within him.
He did not expect that the girl, whose news was spread all over the military base that she returned from the farming district, would have such a noble identity.
Zhong Kuijun and Jiang Shuwan would probably regret it when they found out Nuannuan’s real identity, right?
“Okay, I’ll call him tonight.”
“Alright.” Zhong Nuannuan nodded.
“One more question.”
“Why do you have so many questions?” Chi Yang was unhappy.
Leng Jinpeng choked on Chi Yang’s retort. Looking at Chi Yang’s protective behavior, he was inexplicably fed another mouthful of dog chow.
His heart ached for himself.
“It’s fine, Uncle Leng. Go ahead and ask.”
“Since you’re a member of the royal family and the duke’s daughter, then… Why are you and Selina so good in combat? Also, since you’re Selina’s sister, why did she call you Boss?”
Zhong Nuannuan smiled and asked, “Is Selina considered good in combat?”
Leng Jinpeng, “…!!!”
“Selina and I were both from the orphanage before our father took us away. We were still young then, and we were often bullied at the orphanage. Even though I was three years younger than Selina, I was always the one who took revenge for her whenever she was bullied, so she called me Boss. Even after our father adopted us and made us the noblest ladies after the princess, she still called me Boss.”
“I see.” Leng Jinpeng nodded.
“As for martial arts, my father is a man who values martial arts. He is very skilled himself, so he never has a bodyguard with him. He has taught us since we were young that the person who can protect us the most is ourselves.
“His wife and two daughters were assassinated, so he asked us to hone our skills properly and protect ourselves. After bringing Selina and me home, he paid a high price to hire two mercenaries from the top 10 among the Rank-3S of the world to train us relentlessly.”
