Chapter 144: Is this a dream?
Xiao Nanxing stared at the two handsome middle-aged men opposite him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Bai Heng tapped her forehead and said, "Don't tell me it's a treat, order food."
Xiao Nanxing said "Oh" and rolled his eyes. "Um, why are you all here together? Did Master have a meeting with other people here?"
Mo Nan smiled in his eyes and said nothing.
Bai Heng took the initiative to speak: "Your Uncle Mo is avoiding suspicion and asked me to come over to keep him company."
Xiao Nanxing: Is it really just like that?
"No, why should I avoid suspicion when having dinner with Uncle Mo?" Xiao Nanxing was unhappy.
Bai Heng glared at her. "He's unmarried, and you have a boyfriend. Why don't you avoid suspicion? What if outsiders see us and start gossiping?"
Xiao Nanxing was shocked, "Uncle Mo can be my father!!"
Bai Heng argued, "That's the reason anyway, believe it or not."
Xiao Nanxing snorted, "I always feel like you're fooling me."
Mo Nan kept laughing.
Before the food was served, Xiao Nanxing took his pulse. Seeing her master's nervous eyes, she said, "It's okay. Uncle Mo's hidden injuries can be healed. I promise."
It seems that Uncle Mo suffered a lot in order to complete his mission during the years he disappeared.
He had many new and old injuries, but fortunately he had a strong foundation, so she could keep him in the best condition.
Bai Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Good disciple, I leave your uncle Mo's health to you. You will be his health doctor from now on."
Xiao Nanxing said subconsciously: "I realize that Master, you are controlling Uncle Mo."
Mo Nan finally spoke, "He can be my master."
Bai Heng's ears turned suspiciously red.
Xiao Nanxing: "Haha, the two masters have such a good relationship, it's really enviable, haha."
After finishing the dinner, Xiao Nanxing came out of Xi'an Garden, his mind replaying the scenes of the afternoon.
When she returned to Building 16, she suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "Ahhh, her handsome master!"
Woohoo, since they didn't say it explicitly, she could only pretend that she didn't know.
Maybe she was overthinking it, and the two of them were more than just friends?
Pei Zhengping hadn't finished get off work yet when she received a call from Li Xiaoxiao. "Sister, with the approval of my father, the Emperor, and my mother, and after friendly discussions with Aunt Li, we've confirmed that we'll be engaged the day after tomorrow. We warmly welcome Ms. Xiao Nanxing to attend our engagement ceremony."
Xiao Nanxing was happy for her, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely be there. Take it easy, and let Li Sheng handle everything."
The engagement ceremony in Yuan City usually only invites the parents and close relatives of the bride and groom, but if you have good friends, you can also attend. It’s not so complicated.
When Pei Zhengping came back from get off work, she told him about this.
Pei Zhengping was sour, "Alas, I lost. Li Sheng is better than me in this aspect."
Xiao Nanxing pretended not to hear his hidden meaning, "It's okay, Comrade Da Jun has won for so many years, just give him some ground."
Pei Zhengping pinched her face itchyly, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, just go ahead and do your thing."
Secretary Pei only needs to make a grand appearance when Li Xiaoxiao gets married.
After dealing with Pei Zhengping in the evening, she urgently bought a gift and had it delivered expedited during the day, just in time for it to arrive that day.
Xiao Nanxing asked for leave from the department and rushed to Li Xiaoxiao's house with Li Rong in the morning. He handed the gift to her and said, "It's a good idea to reciprocate. Open it when no one is around."
Li Xiaoxiao dressed up for the occasion today. He happily pulled her into the bedroom to talk quietly, talking about the details of their engagement, and suddenly asked her:
"Baby, what's going on between you and Secretary Pei? Are you really planning on having a platonic relationship? Or is the Pei family dissatisfied with you?"
As she spoke, her eyebrows raised.
Xiao Nanxing suppressed her, "Don't get excited, we are fine, very good, it's my relationship..."
After a long silence, she spoke out her innermost thoughts, "Pei Zhengping is very good, so good that it feels unreal to me."
"Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and look at him, and I wonder, is this really the happiness I'm supposed to have? Is this just a dream?"
Just like winning the lottery, she subconsciously wondered if this luck was a fleeting illusion, or if it would require her to pay it back with even greater suffering in the future.
She will always remember that when she was twenty years old and full of vigor and vitality, she was dealt a heavy blow by fate.
No one knew that during the six months of coma, she began to give up on herself and constantly ridiculed herself for not being worthy of a happy and beautiful life.
It was grandpa who called her in her ear over and over again, waking her up again with his old hands.
She also knew that life is unpredictable and everyone hopes to live the rest of their life without suffering.
Now, she often scolds herself for being a fool who cannot enjoy happiness, and keeps telling herself not to think too much, just live one day at a time and be happy one day at a time.
But her caution and anxiety became more and more obvious.
She didn't know whether Pei Zhengping noticed it.
At night, she couldn't help but wake up anxiously in the middle of the night, but forced herself to go back to sleep so that he wouldn't notice that she was in a bad mood during the day.
He is already trying to heal himself, but she has to fight and overcome her psychological problems on her own.
Li Xiaoxiao was so distressed that she hugged her and said, "It's okay, it's okay. My Nanxing is so good, how can she not deserve happiness? You can think of it this way, maybe it was too hard before, so God sent you Secretary Pei."
Xiao Nanxing sighed and chuckled, "Yeah..."
The following process is simple. Relatives and friends of both parties go to the reserved restaurant to have dinner and discuss marriage matters.
Mrs. Li and Li Sheng’s two uncles and aunt came to the Li family and were very sincere.
Xiao Nanxing ate the delicious food, listened to the friendly discussion between the two sides, and thought about it divergently. If she and Pei Zhengping got engaged...
Stop, don't think about it.
Li Xiaoxiao acted like a lady throughout the whole process, and Li Sheng took care of her while listening obediently to the arrangements made by both parents.
Xiao Nanxing sincerely wishes them well. He feels both sad and relieved that his precious daughter is about to start a family, hahaha.
She clicked on Lin Yang's WeChat, and he said, "Please give my best wishes to Xiaoxiao."
Xiao Nanxing: "I understand. Take good care of yourself."
I haven't received a reply yet, and I guess it will take a few more days before I hear anything.
Pei Zhengping happened to call, and she slipped out to answer it, "What's wrong?"
"Ouyang Zhen is injured and on the returning plane. She will arrive in ten hours and will be sent directly to the First People's Hospital of Yuan City. Say hello to Teacher Bai. We may need your help to save her."
Xiao Nanxing put away his smile and said, "Okay,...what's going on?"
I just heard Nie Dong report in the group yesterday that they would be back after taking care of some personal matters in the next two days. How could they be injured?
Pei Zhengping: "The matter is a bit complicated. The cause has not been found yet, but I can guess that it was probably done by those behind Ji Huirou."
"Revenge for Ji Huirou?"
Pei Zhengping: "Not really."
If it was revenge, harming Nie Dong would have been more of a deterrent, so why Ouyang Zhen? Was he picking on the weak?
Nie Dong only said a few words in a hurry, and they would have to wait until they came back to know the details of what happened.
Xiao Nanxing no longer had the appetite to eat. He told Li Xiaoxiao and left early. Li Rong and the others were waiting for him in the car.
But when she was going down the stairs, her phone rang. She thought it was Pei Zhengping, but found out it was an unfamiliar number. She didn't want to answer it and hung up directly.
Unexpectedly, the caller kept calling me again.
Xiao Nanxing frowned and answered the call, "Hello?"
"Xiao Nanxing, Sun Wuzi from Baicaotang is in our hands. I'll give you forty minutes..."
