When Nan Suzhi called, Nan Xi was sitting in the office staring at the huge bouquet of roses in a daze. She angrily clicked the answer button.
"Nan Suzhi, what do you mean?"
"Luanluan, are you used to going to work?" The person on the other end of the phone spoke calmly, without any fluctuation in his tone.
"I'm asking you a question, don't pretend to be deaf."
Nan Suzhi snorted and laughed, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
"I feel like you're causing me trouble, brother. Please stop giving me things. I don't need anything, okay?" Nanxi frowned helplessly.
She didn't know how to face Nan Suzhi. Before she met Balu, Nan Suzhi was her sense of security and the safe haven in her heart. She relied on him, trusted him, and regarded him as the best brother in the world.
Now, even though things have come to this point, even though her father has clearly told her not to have too much contact with him, she still can't bear it. She is afraid that Nan Suzhi will be sad. That was the person who protected her throughout her childhood and adolescence. How could he really cut off all contact like that?
"If you don't like it, I'll try something else next time, okay?" Nan Suzhi still spoke in a leisurely tone.
"elder brother--"
"Luanluan." Nan Suzhi interrupted her, "I'm downstairs at the bank. Come down to have dinner with me. I have something to tell you."
"I'm not going--" she said angrily.
"Then I'll come up." Nan Suzhi's tone left her no room to resist.
Nanxi stomped her feet in annoyance, rolled her eyes to the sky, hung up the phone, picked up her bag angrily, walked to the huge bouquet of flowers, took two deep breaths, and opened the office door.
Her two personal secretaries were outside. She asked them to distribute the flowers to the female employees of the bank before heading towards the private elevator.
Balu is at Wu's house today and asked Biaozi to wait for him at the open-air coffee shop downstairs.
Biaozi saw Nanxi coming out at this time and stepped forward to greet her. "Sister Xi, are you off work?"
"Biaozi, my brother and I are going out to eat. After dinner, I'll ask Balu to pick me up. You don't have to come with us." Nanxi knew that his wife was pregnant, and he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well let him go back.
"I'd better follow him, lest Brother Lu finds out and scolds me again."
"It's okay, I'll talk to him, you can go back." Nan Xi smiled faintly, knowing that he was eager to get off work early.
"Okay, thank you Sister Xi." After saying that, Biaozi walked towards the parking lot.
Nan Suzhi's car was behind her and slowly drove in front of her.
"Get in the car." He was driving himself today. He raised his chin and motioned Nanxi to sit in the passenger seat.
Nanxi hadn't spoken since getting in the car, and Nan Suzhi's narrow eyes became increasingly gloomy. Finally, the car stopped at the place where they were having dinner, a newly opened Western restaurant.
After sitting down, Nan Suzhi ordered her favorite dishes according to her habit. He wanted to drink red wine, but was stopped by Nan Xi.
"Luanluan, why haven't you replied to my messages recently?" Nan Suzhi looked at the little woman opposite him indifferently and spoke.
"Just send good morning, good night, have you eaten? Or something like that. It's nothing serious, why reply?" Nanxi said sullenly.
"If you're alright, can't I care about you? Can't I talk to you?" Although the man had a smile on his face, his eyes were dark.
"It was okay before, but not now. Brother, just live your life well. Stop competing with Dad and stop paying too much attention to my life. Live your own life, isn't that good?"
"But~" Nan Su leaned back, lowered his trembling fingers, and his crossed legs looked a little stiff. "Luanluan, you are my life."
Nanxi Xiu frowned and looked at him in surprise, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"I know, Dad told you to stay away from me, right?" He smiled bitterly, took a sip of the water in front of him, and his eyes turned red.
"Why should he? He never cared about you since you were little. I was the one who accompanied you and protected you. Why should you ignore me when he told you to stay away from me after you grew up?"
"I'm not ignoring you." Nanxi pursed her lips and turned her face away. "You know, I only listen to half of what my father says. If you just treat me as your sister, I won't ignore you."
"But the words have been spoken. I have hidden them for so many years and I don't want to hide them anymore." He gritted his teeth in pain, "Luanluan, I don't regret it."
Nanxi looked at him coldly, "The person I like is Baru."
Nan Suzhi smiled and said, "Liking is just an emotion that can arise and disappear. Luanluan, sooner or later you will understand that we are family. I am your safe haven, your home, and the one who will always protect you and love you."
If you don't agree, there's no need to talk too much.
Nanxi didn't say anything else. After the waiter served the dishes and left, the two of them ate in silence.
"I'm full." Nanxi didn't have much appetite to begin with. After taking a few bites, she put down her cutlery and looked like she was going to leave.
Nan Suzhi lowered his head, cut the steak into small pieces, and handed it to her, "Eat a few more bites."
"Eat while you listen to me, okay?" The man looked at her with dark eyes. Although his tone was still gentle and calm, his aura was a bit overwhelming.
The little woman glanced at him, pursed her lips, then picked up the smallest piece and put it in her mouth to chew.
"Dad has handed over most of the property in Myanmar to you right now. I don't know what his purpose is, but, Luanluan, when you go out in the future, you must not be alone. Let that big guy who always follows you pick you up and drop you off every day, understand?"
"Um."
"Naypyidaw is in chaos right now. If Dad asks you to go there, refuse him. Also, this is the path Dad chose himself. Whether we win or lose depends entirely on fate. Don't always expect the best; be mentally prepared for anything. But don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll do my best to protect you."
