Chapter 19 Your Brother is a Bad Brother and a Good Aunt
Ming Nuo was held tightly in Dilina's arms, and subconsciously raised his head slightly to look at his aunt whom he had never met.
Dilina Flynn was very beautiful, with deep blue eyes that looked like the bottomless ocean. She stared at Mingnuo and stroked his cheek with her fingers, "Lorian, I am your aunt."
Ming Nuo lowered his head in panic, "I, I'm not Lorian, you got the wrong person."
Dilina's behavior made Field and Lin Yu confused. Field thought of Dilina's mental state and guessed that he might have recognized the wrong person. How could Mingnuo be the deceased Prince Lorian?
Lin Yu looked at Ming Nuo: "Yes, Aunt Dilina, he is not His Highness Lorian, his name is Ming Nuo, and he is from the Saichuan Empire."
Field was about to speak, "He..."
"Shut up!"
Dilina roared angrily, and Field, who had just said one word, trembled in his body, lowered his head in embarrassment, and hid behind Lin Yu. He had an inexplicable illusion that the strong man was wronged.
Lin Yu winked at Sedwick, asking him to help explain.
Sedwick remained silent. He looked at Ming Nuo, who was held in Dilina's arms, with a vague look in his eyes.
It seems that anyone who has seen Lorian around him will mistake Mingnuo for Lorian. Is this really just a coincidence?
After scolding the younger generation, Dilina held Mingnuo's face, staring at him with her deep blue eyes, and said firmly, "You are Lorian, I can't be mistaken, you must be Lorian..."
She suddenly hugged Ming Nuo tightly, holding him in her arms. Because of the intense emotional fluctuations, her behavior was a little neurotic. "Why don't you recognize your aunt? Luo Rui'an, tell your aunt, has anyone said something bad about you?"
"Who is it? Tell me, I will chop off their limbs, pull out their tongues, and break their bones..."
"No!" Ming Nuo breathed rapidly. He suddenly didn't dare to look Dilina in the eye. "You really got the wrong person. I'm not the Lorian you're talking about."
Dilina's expression froze. She stared at Mingnuo dimly, her tone drawn out, "I see. Luo Rui'an, you are sick, right? That's why you don't recognize your aunt. It's okay. Go home with your aunt, and your aunt will find a doctor to cure you."
Dilina placed her hand silently on the back of Mingnuo's neck and applied a little force. Mingnuo's eyes went dark and he fainted in her arms.
Sedwick was suddenly startled, "Aunt Dilina!"
"Sedwick, are you going to be a bad boy too?" Dilina stared at him indifferently and instructed the guards around her, "Take the young master back."
The ladies who were originally shopping with Dilina stared at this development in a daze. They did not participate in this matter and left quietly.
The guard obediently took Mingnuo, but the next second Sedwick held his shoulder. The guard stopped and respectfully called out, "Master Stuart."
Sedwick turned to Dilina and took a deep breath, "Auntie, you should take your medicine."
It wasn't a curse word, but Dilina did have a mental illness. However, at this moment, her hysterical mood was swept away and she shook her head at him, "No, I'm not sick, I'm fine now."
Sedwick: "..."
Dilina is the elder, and Sedwick and the others can't do anything to her. They can only watch her take Mingnuo away.
After a long while, Field dared to show his face, still feeling apprehensive. "Aunt Dilina is still as crazy as ever... She's such a ruthless person, capable of giving His Majesty the cold shoulder. What should we do now? Should we go find Uncle Ivan?"
"It's no use looking for him." Lin Yu looked at Sedwick, "Let's ask my aunt, I guess she's the only one who can rescue Mingnuo now."
The mall was bustling with people. When Dilina reached the first floor, she suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on a male customer wearing a baseball cap who was following closely behind them.
Across the crowd, their eyes met in the air for a second, and the man ran away, but unfortunately, the bodyguard caught up with him and dragged him back.
Dilina looked down at the man and said, "Take off his clothes."
The onlookers were shocked. This was not a good thing to happen in public.
The bodyguard obeyed with an expressionless face. The man's clothes were quickly stripped off. A number was printed on his back - he was a bionic man.
According to regulations, the bionic man's number should be on his arm.
Dilina said calmly, "Drag it away and tear it down."
…
When Mingnuo woke up, he found himself in a childlike and lovely room. There were exquisite and cute plush toys on the bed, and wind chimes rustling in the wind hanging on the windows.
The sky outside the window darkened. It was already five in the afternoon. Mingnuo looked around blankly, not knowing where he was. Where were Sedwick and the others?
At this time, Dilina pushed the door open and walked to his side. She sat down on the edge of the bed and asked him with a friendly smile, "Do you like the room that your aunt prepared for you?"
Ming Nuo's heart trembled when he saw her. Seeing that Dilina no longer looked crazy, he felt much more at ease. He almost nodded uncontrollably, but he stopped himself in time, "I'm not Lorian. You've made a mistake."
Dilina had just taken some medicine and was now much more stable. She smiled and pinched Mingnuo's little face, "Baby, don't you know that people who are related by blood can recognize each other through their mental power?"
Ming Nuo looked up at her in shock.
No, no one told him that.
From Mingnuo's expression, Dilina guessed that he knew his identity. She looked sad and asked, "Why don't you recognize your aunt? Your aunt has been thinking about you all the time."
Suddenly, her tone changed and she pressed, "Luorian, are you afraid of your brother and dare not reveal your identity?"
Ming Nuo's expression changed, "I..."
"I know, Auntie knows everything." Dilina hugged Mingnuo and comforted him softly, "Your brother is a bad guy. It's normal for you to be afraid of him. It's okay. Auntie will protect you."
Perhaps it was really the influence of blood relationship. In Dilina's arms, Ming Nuo suddenly felt a great sense of grievance.
It’s like a child who is bullied outside. He can hold back his tears in front of outsiders, but when he returns home, he can’t help but vent his sadness to his family and longs for their comfort.
Ming Nuo's nose felt sore. He slowly hugged Dilina and called out in a muffled voice, "Auntie."
Dilina's face lit up with a smile as she carefully examined Mingnuo's features, "Our baby is as beautiful as she was when she was little, but what's wrong with your hair?"
Ming Nuo's cheeks turned red as he listened to her boasting, "Hair? But my hair color has always been like this."
His hair has been silver-white since he could remember.
"No, no! Your hair was black before. Look, look at these photos." Dilina saved a lot of photos and videos of Mingnuo when he was a child, and showed these pictures to Mingnuo.
From when he was a few months old as a baby, to when he learned to walk and could chase butterflies in the garden... basically these videos record Mingnuo's entire childhood.
Ming Nuo stared blankly at the miniature version of himself in the video. What was going on? His hair was indeed black when he was a child, so why was it white now?
Dilina was nervous and looked him up and down. "Lorian, are you feeling unwell?"
Ming Nuo shook his head. "No, I'm very healthy."
He rarely even gets sick.
"Oh, aunt." Ming Nuo suddenly remembered something. "I'm leaving Perseus Empire next Wednesday. Can you please not tell my brother about me?"
Dilina's eyes darkened, and the hand on Mingnuo's shoulder suddenly tightened, "Why do you want to leave?"
Ming Nuo had no choice but to make it short and tell her about his experiences over the years. "I have an agreement with my uncle to leave next Wednesday. I'm sorry, aunt, but I will video call you often."
Dilina stared at him dimly for a long time. Mingnuo felt a little frightened under her gaze, "Auntie?"
This slightly trembling call made Dilina recover as usual. She kept silent about the matter and said, "Dinner is almost ready. Let's go eat together."
Mingnuo followed her out of the room. The area of Flynn Manor was almost the same as that of Stewart Manor, but the number of servants was obviously twice as many. They were doing their work silently, and even their footsteps were very light.
Suddenly, Ming Nuo saw a familiar figure and tentatively called out, "Elson?"
Elson was arranging dinner and his body froze when he heard Mingnuo's voice. It was a bit embarrassing to meet the child of his former employer right after changing jobs.
Elson maintained his smile and said, "Master Mingnuo, it's so late, aren't you going home for dinner?"
"I..." Ming Nuo hesitated, not knowing how to explain his relationship with Dilina. Once he said that Dilina was his aunt, his identity would be exposed.
Fortunately, Dilina rescued him in time, "You are a youngster at home, come and play with me for two days."
Elson knew without hesitation that Dilina was lying, but he naturally wouldn't expose his employer. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange your favorite double berry milkshake for you tonight?"
Ming Nuo nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you."
Elson was familiar with Mingnuo's taste and prepared a dinner filled with dishes Mingnuo liked. Mingnuo sat next to Dilina, eating his meal with big mouthfuls. Dilina looked at him with a loving smile, as if she was watching a little pig eating its own meal.
At this time, the maid walked quickly to Dilina and said, "Madam, Madam Lin is here to see you."
Mingnuo's eyes lit up. It must be Sedwick and the others who helped call Aunt Lin to find him.
Dilina touched Mingnuo's head and said, "Aunt's friend is here, can you go back to your room and stay for a while?"
Ming Nuo: "I know Aunt Lin."
Dilina's tone was gentle but unyielding. "I know. Go upstairs."
Ming Nuo pursed his lips and reluctantly went to the second floor. The tall and strong bodyguard followed him all the time. He couldn't stand at the stairs for a while because the bodyguard would urge him to go into the room.
Ming Nuo begged, "I'll just listen for a while and not disturb them."
"I'm sorry young master, but please follow my lady's orders."
“…”
Ming Nuo closed the door angrily, but soon he leaned against the door and put his ear against it to listen to the noise outside, but unfortunately, there was no sound.
Downstairs, Mrs. Lin walked quickly to Dilina. On the way, she saw Elson, but she was not surprised. Before he left, he had told her that her next employer would be Dilina.
Mrs. Lin sat across from Dilina and handed her a stack of test reports. "You're mistaken. Mingnuo is definitely not Lorian. Let him go immediately."
Dilina glanced at the report briefly, her hands clenched subconsciously. "Does Zelphis know about this report?"
Mrs. Lin: "He knew it on the first day."
A smile appeared on Dilina's face. "He believed it?"
Mrs. Lin noticed something was wrong. She looked at her old friend and asked, "Is there something wrong with this report?"
Dilina pushed the report back and said, "No problem."
Mrs. Lin: “…”
The more I feel that there must be something fishy going on.
Dilina stood up and walked around behind Madam Lin, gently leaning on her shoulder, and said sadly: "I know this child is not Luo Rui'an, but I really miss that child. Xunshu, please let him stay with me for a while."
Lin Xunshu observed her expression, half believing and half doubting, "Are you sure you only need Nuonuo to accompany you for a while before you let him go?"
Dilina nodded sincerely. "Isn't this child leaving with his uncle next week? I'll take him directly to the port then."
Lin Xunshu thought for a moment and said, "It's no use telling me. The child must agree to it."
The two of them went upstairs together to find Mingnuo. Mingnuo learned that Aunt Dilina just wanted him to accompany her, and he subconsciously softened his heart, thinking that he would be leaving soon, so it would be okay for him to accompany his aunt during this time.
"Well, I'll accompany you then."
Dilina immediately stepped forward and held him in her arms, "Good boy."
Some of Mingnuo's things were still in the Stewart Manor. Mrs. Lin had originally planned to ask Sedwick to pack them up and send them over, but Dilina refused. "I'll buy him new things."
Lin Xunshu was already used to her personality. "Okay, but you have to bring Nuonuo's eye care solution."
Lin Xunshu explained in detail, "Remember to take him to Anka Garden for a follow-up eye examination the day after tomorrow. As for the school, I've already explained the reasons to the principal and arranged for him to take a leave of absence. He can continue his studies when he returns to Saichuan Empire."
Ming Nuo's eyes suddenly turned red as he listened to Aunt Lin's words.
Lin Xunshu glanced at him, and finally touched his little head, "See you again if there's a chance."
Ming Nuo nodded heavily, his voice slightly hoarse, "Thank you for taking care of me."
Lin Xunshu wiped his tears and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay, okay, hold back your tears. The doctor said you can't cry anymore."
Ming Nuo nodded obediently, "Well, I won't cry anymore."
Half an hour later, Sedwick brought Mingnuo's glasses and eye patches. He already knew that Mingnuo would stay in Flynn Manor for the rest of the time.
Sedwick placed all the things neatly on Mingnuo's bedside table, glanced at Mingnuo, whose eyes were red, and his gaze fell on the soft flesh of his cheek.
At least he was well taken care of during this period.
"Don't let yourself be bullied again." Sedwick suddenly said, "Be careful before you act. If you get sold out again and fall into the same trap twice, I will definitely laugh at you."
Ming Nuo: "No, I'm not that stupid."
Sedwick: "...Goodbye."
"goodbye."
Looking at Sedwick's departing back, Mingnuo was stunned for a moment. From the time he came to Ephi Star until now when he was about to leave, Sedwick had always been by his side.
Thinking that they might not see each other again, he suddenly had an urge to follow him and leave.
Dilina noticed Mingnuo's mood change and put her arm around his shoulders affectionately to divert his attention. "What kind of clothes do you want, baby? Auntie will ask them to send them to you."
Ming Nuo was not interested. "I can do anything."
He doesn't care what he wears.
Dilina arranged all the clothes of each season for Mingnuo. After a while, all the major brands delivered the clothes to the manor. Dilina specially prepared a spacious dressing room for him and filled it with clothes.
Ming Nuo looked at the clothes and jewelry that were as numerous as stars, and hurriedly said to Dilina: "Auntie, I can't use so many."
Dilina chuckled and said, "It's okay. You can wear whatever you want when the time comes. Just throw away the out-of-season clothes. I'll prepare new ones for you."
Mingnuo was not used to it. In his opinion, clothes only needed to be worn on a daily basis. It was good enough as long as they had no holes and could keep warm in winter.
But facing Dilina who was too strong and prone to illness, Mingnuo could only follow her wishes. Dilina liked the obedient Mingnuo more and more, "Auntie will give you pocket money."
After saying that, he gently touched his intelligent brain, but for some reason, 566 did not broadcast the specific amount this time.
After night fell, Mingnuo lay on the bed in his new pajamas, staring quietly at the white ceiling. Suddenly, he reached out and hugged the plush bear beside him into his arms, clinging to it tightly for a sense of security.
Late at night, Ming Nuo was thinking in his mind that he would go to Anka Garden to have his eyes checked tomorrow, and stay here for another day the day after tomorrow. After that, he would leave here and follow his uncle to the Saichuan Empire.
Ming Nuo sighed and opened his smart computer to take a look. When he saw the account information, he suddenly sat up straight and counted the zeros after the account, "Hundreds of thousands, millions, hundreds of millions..."
Aunt Dilina gave him 100 million!
Ming Nuo opened his eyes wide and counted over and over again. Finally, he decisively got up and went next door to find Aunt Dilina.
Dilina had already changed into pajamas, holding a book in her hands, and asked him with a smile, "What's wrong, baby Nono?"
Ming Nuo stood at the door and said, "Aunt, you gave me too much money."
"It's not much. Come back to your aunt when you've spent it all." Dilina didn't think there was anything wrong with giving a nephew she had just met 100 million in pocket money. If she wasn't afraid of scaring Ming Nuo, she would have wanted to give him half of the Flynn family.
As for whether others agree or not...if you don't agree, go to hell.
Thinking of this, Dilina opened the drawer and swallowed a handful of medicine expressionlessly. She turned to Ming Nuo, who had a dazed look on his face, and smiled, "It's late. You should go to bed. Children shouldn't stay up late."
"Oh, right." Dilina suddenly remembered something and waved to Mingnuo. When he walked in front of her, Dilina took out an exquisite little pendant.
It looked like two bells, and when they collided, they made a crisp sound. Dilina held Mingnuo's hand and put the small pendant on the wristband of the intelligent computer. "This is a weapon made of Tassan stone. You must carry it with you to protect yourself."
Ming Nuo shook his wrist, and there was a jingling sound. He was just a little confused, "Is this a weapon?"
Dilina nodded. "As long as you attach your mental power to it, it will transform into a long sword."
Ming Nuo tried it, and the small bell expanded and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into an exquisite long sword. Ming Nuo held the hilt and looked at the sword body.
So beautiful...
No! Ming Nuo came back to his senses in time, withdrew his mental power, and wanted to return the small bell to Aunt Dilina, "This is too expensive, I can't accept it."
Dilina held his hand. She had almost figured out Mingnuo's character and lowered her eyes slightly. "Your father died early, and you weren't with your aunt all these years. Your aunt couldn't do anything for you. Now that you're finally back, are you still going to refuse your aunt's gift?"
Ming Nuo opened his mouth, but facing his aunt who was wholeheartedly trying to be good to him, a trace of guilt welled up in his blue eyes, "I'm sorry, aunt."
Dilina immediately put on a smile and touched Mingnuo's little head.
Ming Nuo returned to his room in a daze. On the way, he glanced at the empty hall and realized that something was wrong.
My aunt is already married, but what about my uncle?
Where are their children?
Why is my aunt the only one at home?
Mingnuo suppressed these doubts in his heart.
The next morning, Mingnuo, accompanied by Aunt Dilina, headed for Anka Garden. The hovercraft sped across the city, and Mingnuo looked down at the layers of tall buildings. The people on the streets were smaller than ants.
At the same time, a practical class was being conducted in the school. The practical teacher was ready to give Mingnuo devilish training to improve his physique, but he glanced around and saw no one there.
"Where did Number One go?"
Sedwick: "Teacher, number one is out of school."
teacher:"……"
No, then who would use the devilish training method he specified? So, the teacher turned his attention to the remaining students.
After class, Field lay on the ground, his eyes glazed over, his breath barely audible. "He must be crazy! We are the flowers of the empire... How dare he destroy them? What a cruel heart."
Sedwick wiped the sweat off his face and kicked his calf. "Let's go. Next class is about to start."
Not far away, a female classmate was browsing the Star Network, and said in surprise, "Huh? It seems His Majesty is going to inspect Anka Garden today. How come it happens to be during our class? We can't watch the live broadcast..."
Hearing this, Sedwick had a bad feeling for some reason. He remembered that Mingnuo was also going to Anka Garden to have his eyes checked today.
…
The starship landed on the helipad on the top floor. Three military buildings protected Anka Garden in the middle. The physician assistant in charge of reception was already waiting there and was responsible for taking them to the examination room.
Mingnuo followed Dilina closely, looking at the huge building curiously. Anka Garden had a total of twenty floors, with two open-air gardens in front and back, each covering an area as large as two gymnasiums.
Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the green grass, the children were playing on the entertainment equipment. Ming Nuo was staring at the fun slide in a daze.
He hasn't played it yet...
But it's so embarrassing to compete with other kids.
The guard reminded them, "Madam, before entering Ankh Gardens, please do a security check to ensure you are not carrying any weapons."
Dilina was the first to pass through the scanning door, then glanced at Mingnuo and said, "Come on."
The alarm did not sound when Mingnuo passed by, so he followed Dilina directly into the Anka Garden. The small bell on his wrist made a slight sound as he walked.
The doctor was in the consultation room on the fifteenth floor. When Dilina walked in with Ming Nuo, the doctor saw her and a look of obvious surprise flashed across her face, "Mrs. Flynn?"
Dilina nodded, "I am Mingnuo's parent."
The doctor looked at the two people's identical blue eyes and felt a little confused, but she suppressed her doubts for the time being and took Ming Nuo to the inner room for examination.
Ming Nuo followed the doctor's advice and temporarily took off his contact lenses. The world became blurry at this moment, and he blinked his eyes to adapt.
After a series of tests, the doctor looked at the results with a frown on her face. "Have you cried recently?"
Without the contact lenses, Ming Nuo's beautiful blue eyes were unfocused and looked a little dull. He shook his head, "I haven't cried."
"That's a bit strange," the doctor frowned and said, "Your retina has been damaged for a long time. I used to think you had a genetic disease and a congenital retinal defect, but now it seems... your eyes have been seriously injured before?"
The doctor's words also confused Ming Nuo, "No, I don't remember my eyes being injured."
Things suddenly became difficult. The doctor glanced at Dilina and sent Mingnuo out first. "I'm going to talk to your parents first. Can you go play in the lounge next door?"
Ming Nuo put his contact lenses back on and looked at Aunt Dilina.
Dilina hugged him and said, "Remember to protect yourself."
The doctor forced a smile, "Mrs. Flynn, Ankh Gardens is the safest place in the entire empire. You don't have to worry about that."
Dilina ignored her and watched Mingnuo walk to the next door.
The lounge next door was empty. A basket was filled with children's toys. Ming Nuo looked around and started playing with some oil crayons.
On one floor away, the three directors of Ankh Garden were following the emperor respectfully, and the accompanying camera was broadcasting the inspection tour of Ankh Garden live.
Because of the special nature of Ankh Garden, almost every resident of the empire is paying attention to it. Therefore, even on weekdays, more than half of the people are watching the inspection.
Ankh Garden is still so warm, as if I've returned to my childhood, before I became a vicious woman.
[Please, Anka Garden, lower the passing score for parents. I've already failed five times. I really want to apply for another baby girl!]
[Ask yourself, the students above. The cutoff score hasn't changed at all over the years. Is it because you haven't worked hard enough?]
[That's right, Emperor Herbert took fifteen make-up exams before he became His Highness Lorian. You've only taken five, so you can still take a few more years.]
【……】
Zelphis inspected the entire floor and walked to the medical area on the fifteenth floor. There were many sick children here. When they saw Zelphis, their young eyes sparkled.
"Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty!"
"Good day, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty has come to see us! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The children were chattering, and the accompanying steward Fudi distributed the gifts he brought to the children. However, he looked rather fierce, and some of the timid children trembled when they received the gifts.
Seren stood slowly at the back, tossing a sparkling ball up and down in his hands.
The noise here reached Mingnuo's ears as he was concentrating on drawing. He had never learned to draw, and the colors on the paper were mottled and messy. It was impossible to tell what was drawn at all. It was even harder to recognize than a child's graffiti.
Ming Nuo didn't hear clearly what was being shouted outside. He put down his oil pastel, stood up, and walked to the door to see what was happening outside.
A second later, he hurried back, quickly closed the door of the lounge, leaned his back against the door, his heart pounding.
Help! Why did he see his brother here?
