Five years ago, Ji Fuling was schemed against by her vicious cousin and ended up ruined and discredited. Five years later, Ji Fuling returns to her old stomping ground with three smart and cute cub...
Just as Ji Fuling was about to say that she didn't need a driver and could take a taxi, Huo Fanxi snatched her phone away.
"Hello Mr. Ye, I am Lingling's older sister. I would like to come to your place with Lingling as a guest. You wouldn't object, would you?"
Ji Fuling: "..."
She paused for a moment, then quickly took her phone back and asked in a pleading tone, "Sister Fanxi would like to see you, is that alright?"
Ye Nanqing's personality was unpredictable, and she wasn't really sure if he would agree...
Just then, the man's deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang in her ear, "Is she the older sister you mentioned before?"
"Um."
Even through the phone, Ji Fuling nodded subconsciously.
"I'm yours now, so you can decide this kind of thing."
"..."
Ji Fuling's cheeks flushed slightly.
This man is really...
Who exactly is spreading rumors that he is aloof and unsmiling?
He's clearly just a smooth talker!
When he didn't hear her reply, Ye Nanqing knew she was embarrassed again.
Thinking of her blushing face when she was shy, her voice held a hint of amusement when she spoke again, "Send me your location."
Ji Fuling snapped out of her daze, pursed her lips slightly, and said, "No need, I'll just take a taxi. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
Watching her hang up the phone, Huo Fanxi leaned over and gently poked her flushed cheeks, clicking his tongue twice and saying, "You blush just from talking on the phone for a couple of minutes, do you like him that much?"
"Why am I blushing? I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
Ji Fuling vehemently denied it, but her face was clearly flushed.
Huo Fanxi narrowed his eyes, staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze. "No? Then what are these two red blushes? Did you just apply blush?"
Ji Fuling covered her face with her hands and awkwardly changed the subject, "You want to see him, right? I'll take you there now, but let's make it clear first, acupuncture is out of the question. This is not something to joke about."
Knowing Vanxi as she did, she knew he was capable of anything, so she had to give him repeated instructions.
Upon hearing this, Huo Fanxi immediately began to sob and act out a dramatic scene, "Ji Fuling, you've changed your mind! You're actually warning me for another man, you don't love me anymore, right? Waaaaah..."
Ji Fuling: "..."
"Alright, stop acting. Sister Fanxi, your acting is really awkward, not even as good as that little girl Tiantian."
After making a complaint, she immediately pulled Huo Fanxi to the street to hail a taxi.
Huo Fanxi snorted in dissatisfaction at being criticized for her awkward acting, but since it was the truth, she couldn't refute it at all.
Once in the car, she affectionately hugged Ji Fuling's arm and suddenly had a whimsical idea: "To be honest, I also think that little girl Tian Tian has pretty good acting skills. Why don't we let her study acting in the future? Maybe she'll have a chance to become a movie queen!"
Ji Fuling chuckled, "We'll have to wait until Tian Tian grows up and let her make her own decision."
In her view, everyone is an independent individual.
Even parents do not have the right to control their children's lives.
Therefore, what children want to do in the future depends entirely on their own wishes. Parents can provide appropriate guidance, but they cannot force them.
"That's true..."
Huo Fanxi understood Ji Fuling's meaning and nodded in agreement.
But then, she raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile and suddenly changed the subject, "Then tell me, what does your uncle look like? He was sitting in the car when he brought you here, and I didn't even get a good look at him."
The sudden change of topic startled Ji Fuling, but Ye Nanqing's exceptionally handsome face involuntarily came to mind.
Her red lips parted slightly, and after a long pause, she finally uttered, "He's...very handsome."
Fauci, ever the gossip, pressed on, "How beautiful is 'very beautiful'? Describe it to me."
Ji Fuling: "...It's just, it's really beautiful."
Forgive her limited vocabulary; it simply cannot adequately describe Ye Nanqing's beauty.
Huo Fanxi looked at her, somewhat speechless. "Ji Fuling, are you playing with me? I asked you to describe it, and you're just giving me this perfunctory answer?"
Ji Fuling looked completely innocent. "I can't describe it. You'll see for yourself later."
The two chatted casually along the way, and before long, the taxi drove into the Imperial Villa and stopped in front of Villa No. 1101.
Upon arriving at the door, Ji Fuling skillfully entered the password to open it and led Huo Fanxi inside.
The room was quiet, as if no one was there.
"He should be in his study right now."
As Ji Fuling spoke, she began to walk towards the study.
Huo Fanxi followed behind her with his phone, secretly ordering a set of acupuncture tools online and paying extra for express delivery.
Although Lingling didn't approve, she still wanted to give it a try.
Consider this a small gift for meeting this man!
"Knock knock—"
The study door was tightly closed, and Ji Fuling raised her hand and gently knocked.
Ye Nanqing was sitting at his desk when he heard a knock on the door. He paused slightly as he flipped through the documents, and then said softly, "Come in."
Ji Fuling then pushed open the door and entered.
Hovansi followed behind and walked inside. From the clean and simple decor of the study, as well as the black and white color scheme, one could clearly sense that the owner of this room had a cold and decisive personality.
"Uncle, let me introduce you. This is Sister Fanxi, Huo Fanxi, whom I mentioned to you before."
Ji Fuling blinked and pulled Huo Fanxi, who was a step behind, to her side.
When Huo Fanxi's gaze fell on Ye Nanqing's face, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always thought her brother was the most handsome man.
No other man is as charming as her brother.
That's why she kept asking Lingling about Ye Nanqing's looks on the way here.
But now it seems that this man clearly has a more superior appearance than her brother.
With his sharply defined features, perfect and deep-set eyes, he exudes an irresistible charm.
With that kind of looks, he's practically every girl's dream lover!
No wonder Lingling was lured away in such a short time; her good looks probably gave her a lot of points...
Coming to his senses, Huo Fanxi gave a slight smile. "Hello, Mr. Ye."
Ye Nanqing's gaze remained fixed on Ji Fuling. Only after hearing this did he glance at Huo Fanxi and politely reply, "Miss Huo, hello."
From the stark difference in his gaze towards Ji Fuling compared to his own, Huo Fanxi could sense how much he cared for Ji Fuling.
She paused thoughtfully for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, please forgive me if I have disturbed you in any way. I came to Yuncheng specifically to see Lingling, so I would like to spend more time with her."
Ye Nanqing put down the documents in his hand and said slowly, "As long as Fuling is happy, it's not considered a disturbance."
Hovanxi: "..."
That sounds a little strange.
I feel offended...
As the two were talking, Ji Fuling suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle, did you take your medicine today?"
Ye Nanqing paused for a few seconds, then said, "...Not yet."
The medicine was supposed to treat nerve damage, but Gu Liao actually prescribed it to make his act more realistic.
It only contains vitamins; there's absolutely no need to eat it.
However, the quantity he brought back was fixed. If he said he had eaten it, Ji Fuling would have found out immediately, so he could only tell the truth.
Ji Fuling gave an "I knew it" look and said with a hint of helplessness, "Uncle, why are you like Tian Tian, needing someone to supervise and urge you to take your medicine?"
As she spoke, she turned and walked to the cabinet next to her, took out a packet of medicine, and poured a glass of warm water from the water dispenser.
