“If Xu’er and Ling’er can both return safely, our Nangong family will be complete.” Thinking of his adorable grandson and granddaughter, Nangong Shu felt sad.
“Don’t worry, Uncle. Big Brother, Third Brother, and Sixth Brother have already gone over personally. One of them will mobilize military troops, another will mobilize the merchants in Velmina, while the other has outstanding medical skills. Xu’er and Ling’er are so smart, they’ll definitely be fine,” Nangong Zheng comforted Nangong Shu.
“Huh…” Nangong Mo sighed.” I hope so too!”
Second Uncle’s dishes were extraordinarily delicious. Zhong Nuannuan never had the chance to taste dishes made by top-notch Michelin executive chefs. Now, she finally had the chance to eat them. Furthermore, her culinary experience occurred at home, and served at an abnormally generous amount too.
However, Nuannuan could not help but be dismayed—it felt like Second Uncle made these for ten people!
For the first time in her life, she was stuffed from eating western food!
After dinner, Zhong Nuannuan phoned Chi Yang only to find out that his phone was switched off. Hence, after bidding farewell to Grandpa Chi and Second Uncle, she boarded a private plane and left.
Old Master Chi and Chi Zeyao both thought that their granddaughter-in-law was going back to Luntan with Duke Eton. However, halfway through the flight, Nuannuan parted ways.
Looking at his daughter who was about to part ways with him for an unknown mission, Duke Eton had no plans of interfering. He only reminded her, “No matter what you’re doing, just be careful. Prioritize your life above all else.”
Zhong Nuannuan inched her face closer and touched her father’s face gently. “Daddy, are you still worried about what I do?”
Duke Eton laughed. “My daughter is the most outstanding girl in the world. Nothing can stump her.”
“Uh-huh.” Zhong Nuannuan nodded. “Take care of yourself. When we’re free, Big Brother Chi Yang and I will come and visit you.”
“You must! Otherwise, it’ll be hard to discuss your wedding date!”
Zhong Nuannuan was taken aback by a sudden wave of embarrassment. Whenever she thought of marrying Big Brother Chi Yang, she would feel the urge of wanting to turn 18 quicker!
“However…” Duke Eton could not help but blurt out the words that had been stuck in his throat. “Have you settled things with Phoenix? Knowing how persistent he is, do you think he will simply watch you marry someone else? There’s no way he doesn’t know about what happened to you in Camino, considering how big the news made it to be. However, he hasn’t approached you yet. You know… The more dormant he stays right now, the more I’m afraid of the plans he comes up with!
“All of you come from that place. Aiden, Dan Qi, and Selina are on your side. However, you know very well why Phoenix and Luna treat you well and the reason behind their unconditional support. Sunny, although Phoenix treats you well unconditionally and is willing to give you his life, that’s only because he thinks of you as his woman. However, once he finds out that you’ve fallen in love with another man and want to marry him, I’m afraid that he’ll do everything he can to stop you, per his character. No matter how close you are to Luna, Luna may end up siding with him.
“Sunny, are you ready for that?”
Up in the north, the afternoon sun was especially bright and beautiful during winter. The golden light shone on Zhong Nuannuan’s skin that was as fair as the palest jade, giving her a warm glow.
A smile blossomed on Zhong Nuannuan’s exquisitely carved face. Her smile was brighter than the sun, yet colder than snow.
“Daddy, a real friend or sworn companion will give me his blessing. Those who ruin my happiness aren’t my real friends or sworn companions.”
