After hearing this, Nie Jing's brows furrowed, and he looked worried. "That's not right. How could that little girl Ning Ning say that to you?"
"So that's it." City Lord Bai was also confused.
"If that girl really wanted to be with someone, she wouldn't have told you and would have just gotten together." Nie Jing understood Bai Suning well. After all, he was her uncle. "Take what happened with Jun Yunyan before, for example. It was the same."
Lord Bai is so worried because he knows all this.
Suddenly the little girl became a different person, and everyone could notice it.
"Wait." Nie Jing suddenly became serious, and there was a hint of something else in his eyes when he looked at City Lord Bai.
Lord Bai thought he had discovered something and looked at him intently: "What's wrong?"
"If there's something wrong, I think I know." Nie Jing said quietly, his face solemn and serious. "I can't think of anything else that could make a little girl change so much, other than truly falling in love with this person and wanting to consider his feelings."
Lord Bai suddenly realized.
He thought about the happy expression on his precious daughter's face when she said these words, and his heart suddenly sank, a little unhappy: "Ningning did look quite happy when she said these words."
Just like those little girls immersed in love.
But she hadn't...
"That makes sense." Nie Jing thought his analysis was correct, and the more he spoke, the more addicted he became. "Ningning is a bit unwilling to admit defeat. The man she used to teach a lesson to suddenly become very powerful, which will give her a strong contrast. It is this contrast that makes her interested in Jun Yunyan."
"But isn't she afraid that Jun Yunyan will punish her?" City Lord Bai was more worried about this. He felt troubled whenever he thought about those things. "She treated him like that back then, and now she still dares to be with him, not afraid of being sold out."
Nie Jing smiled, an expression that said, "I still understand Ning Ning better." "You don't know this. Many little girls nowadays are not afraid of anything. The more dangerous it is, the more they want to challenge it."
Lord Bai: "..."
Nie Jing stood up and walked around the treasures, then said with a smile, "Look, you have so many treasures here. How about I take a box?"
"Get lost." City Lord Bai was rude and unkind to others. "This belongs to my Ningning. If you dare to put your head on me, don't blame me for punishing you."
Nie Jing clicked his tongue twice.
Compared to the discussion here, the gossip over at Ximie is real.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he gossiped with Nan Jue, his eyes sparkling. "Hey, what does that girl the master likes look like? She actually asked him to propose marriage to someone else. With his personality, shouldn't he just take her back home?"
Nan Jue was also very curious.
Thinking about the time when the master would come back and instruct them to prepare the betrothal gifts, their minds were filled with gossip.
"I heard someone say that the master lived in Yuxiao City for a while. I don't know if he lived with this Second Miss Bai."
"That's very possible!" Ximie's gossip eyes turned up, "It's hard not to have feelings for two people who spend so much time together."
"How about we go and talk?" Nan Jue had an idea.
"Where are you going?"
"Academy."
"Walk!"
The two big gossips were kept secret from their master.
It never occurred to me that I might meet my master there.
Academy.
Bai Suning was still reading in the pavilion of the academy when she felt a pleasant scent in the air. After a while, Jun Yunyan appeared.
Bai Suning has become completely accustomed to this elusive man.
She looked at the book in her hand slowly, without any curiosity about his appearance, and didn't even ask a question.
The Husky was sitting next to her, feeling the awkward atmosphere and really wanted to get into the space.
This guy, doesn't he know how to speak up and ease the atmosphere?
"Your father gave you to me." Seeing that she didn't speak, Jun Yunyan had to speak first, looking down at her condescendingly.
Bai Suning's head flickered with a question, not quite understanding what he meant: "What?"
Jun Yunyan waved his hand, and a picture appeared before her eyes.
"Ningning, Daddy agrees to your marriage with Jun Yunyan. Don't be willful and do whatever you want like before! Understand?"
In the picture.
Lord Bai gave a serious lecture.
Bai Suning: “????”
What’s going on!
"this……"
"I went to your house to propose marriage, and your father agreed." Jun Yunyan spoke seriously, his bottomless eyes staring at her, not missing a single expression on her face.
He didn't realize it at this time.
He would use fake images to deceive City Lord Bai, but he would also go to great lengths to show the real images to Bai Suning.
Subconsciously, I don't want to lie to this person.
Bai Suning's head was buzzing, as if she found this matter a little funny, and her eyes were fixed on the screen.
Lord Bai kept repeating those words, it was a looping scene.
"No..." Bai Suning was still a little confused, "Why would my father agree to my marriage with you?"
She didn't go back.
Most importantly, doesn't he know that this person is very powerful now? Given his previous bad attitude towards him, isn't Dad worried that he will retaliate against him after his cultivation recovers?
The more I think about it, the more confused I become.
“Pah.”
A list fell on the table.
Bai Suning picked it up and looked at it without knowing why. When she saw that it was full of rare treasures from the book, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She raised the list in her hand and asked Jun Yunyan, "What is this?"
"It's a betrothal gift for your father." Jun Yunyan said calmly.
Bai Suning: "!!!!!!"
bride price?!
so much????
"You, are you so willing to do this?" Bai Suning didn't care about those things anymore. It was a done deal anyway.
Jun Yunyan frowned and said calmly, "A lot?"
Isn't this the most ordinary thing?
Are you willing to give up existence?
Bai Suning was silent.
She forgot that she was the boss and had so many treasures that she couldn't even count them all.
"You'll be my fiancée from now on. Stop hanging out with questionable men." Jun Yunyan felt relieved. He stared at her and thought she looked so petty. "Did you hear me?"
Bai Suning: “???”
She looked at his serious expression and replied very seriously: "Why is she my fiancée?"
Jun Yunyan's handsome eyebrows frowned, and his deep voice with a unique sound quality was very pleasant: "I have already paid the betrothal gift and proposed marriage, isn't it?"
"Then please understand what a marriage proposal is." Bai Suning looked at him with a smile, a hint of cleverness in her eyes. "If both parents of both parties are present, and you and I are both present, then that's called a marriage proposal. If you're not here, and you just go and discuss it with my father, is that also called a marriage proposal?"
