When Nanxi woke up, Balu was no longer around. She then remembered that she seemed to have heard him tell her in a daze that morning that he had something to go out for and would be back at noon.
After getting up and washing up, she casually put on a hairband. Her beautiful face was not made up, but it had a different kind of beauty.
When she opened the door and went downstairs, Nan Suzhi was sitting in the living room. Although he didn't say anything, Nan Xi could feel that he was probably waiting for her.
He sat down at the dining table with a cold face, and the servant brought breakfast.
"Go, call Han Yingna over." The eldest lady spoke, with a rare chill around her.
Nan Suzhi frowned, didn't go over, raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.
Han Yingna walked down the stairs carefully and came to Nanxi.
"Xixi."
Nanxi didn't raise her eyes and drank the bird's nest porridge quietly. She ate very elegantly without making any sound. Even the sound of the cutlery colliding with each other was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Han Yingna felt very uncomfortable and waited until the eldest lady finished eating, wiped her mouth with a napkin, drank some water, and then opened her mouth.
"Originally, I thought that since Daddy has passed away and your status is not suitable for staying here, I can let you choose a path. If you want to stay, I can give you a house. If you want to leave, I can also arrange a way out for you. In addition to the private money Daddy usually gives you and the luxury goods you buy, you can take them away. I can also give you some money to settle down."
She had a blank expression on her face, and every movement of her red lips, gesture and movement revealed the relaxed and indifferent demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.
"But now it seems that you are more anxious than me and have already found a way out for yourself. In this case, you should pack up and leave today. My Nan family has no place for you. Except for the things my father gave you before, don't even think about taking a penny with you. However,"
She sneered, "Miss Han has found a new sponsor. She probably won't be interested in the little money we have, right?"
The beautiful little woman's face was full of sarcasm and contempt.
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the door without even looking at Han Yingna.
"Luanluan——"
Nan Suzhi chased out.
Nanxi steadying her steps, but without looking back, "I'll have someone compile a list of the assets Dad left behind and send it to you. Although you signed an agreement to give up the inheritance, I can't really give you nothing. We'll each have half."
This was the last bit of dignity she had left for the brother-sister relationship they had shared for so many years. She considered it as a reward for him protecting and pampering her for so many years.
"I don't want it, Luanluan." Nan Suzhi took two steps closer, "What do I need those things for?"
"Then I have nothing to give you, brother. After today, I will leave. I'm afraid we won't meet again."
"Luanluan..." Nan Suzhi seemed to be trapped in a huge illusion, his eyes were bloodshot, veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fingers were trembling.
"What do you mean, we won't see each other again? Don't you want me anymore?"
"You don't want the Nan family anymore." Nanxi turned around, her clear eyes looking at the man in agony across from her. "Or rather, you've already given up on the Nan family, right?"
Nan Suzhi's muscles were tensed and he wanted to go up and pull her, but she took two steps back to avoid him. His hand froze in mid-air, then slowly clenched into a fist and retracted it.
"Luanluan, shall we talk?"
"I don't have anything to talk to you about."
"Han Yingna used to be a voice actor who made a living by imitating other people's voices. She tricked me last night. She imitated—"
"Nan Suzhi——" Nan Xi interrupted him. From childhood to adulthood, she had almost never spoken so harshly to Nan Suzhi.
"I don't want to hear about what happened between you. If that's what you want to talk about, then you can leave."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away quickly.
"Don't you want to listen, or are you afraid to listen? Luanluan? Why deceive yourself? My love is so unbearable that you don't even want to touch it?"
Although his pace was not slow, the man's words still broke into her eardrums like a spell.
…
Balu found her next to the artificial lake behind the villa.
Nanxi sat on the smooth stone by the lake. The tall broad-leaved trees cast colorful shadows. The breeze brought a warm, moist breeze, lifting her long hair. She just sat there quietly.
Balu didn't like Nan Xiaoxi who was too quiet. He would rather irritate her and watch her hit and pinch him in anger.
Sometimes he would act on impulse and even make someone cry before he would go over to comfort them in a humble manner. Nanxi always called him a psycho.
But whether she was beaten or scolded, she was still the living Nan Xiaoxi.
He was too afraid of the lifeless Nanxi.
Suddenly I remembered that year, she was trapped in hell and had no ability to protect herself. She was so fragile, so helpless, and so pitiful.
Why did I feel so soft-hearted and obsessed with her at that time?
When people suddenly fall into a relationship, they may feel dizzy.
Thinking about it now, he can still remember that Nan Xiaoxi was glowing at that time.
For a person who was born in hell, grew up in hell, and struggled in hell, that pure white light was enough to be fatal.
That glance, that girl, he must have in this life, even if it means he will be torn to pieces.
Now, the light on Nan Xiaoxi's body seems to have dimmed, and the bright pearl is covered with dust.
The man's heart suddenly trembled.
Making his woman so unhappy shows his incompetence as a man.
"Baby." He hugged his wife tightly from behind, rubbing his cheek against hers, intimately. "What are you thinking about?"
"Ba Xiaolu." Nanxi pursed her lips and turned to look at his handsome and resolute face. "What do you like about me?"
The man frowned, "Why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I want to know."
"I like the way you are spoiled and spoiled. You take it out on me when you have nothing to do all day long, and you even force me to wear pink underwear." The man teased her with a smile.
"Ba Xiaolu, you're so annoying." Nanxi reached out and pinched his lower back. "If you keep doing this, I won't pay any attention to you anymore."
"I'm serious, Nan Xiaoxi." The man grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently. "It's not like, it's love, Nan Xiaoxi, I love you. I love you even when you're spoiled, I love you even when you're angry, no matter what you do, I love you, even the strands of hair that fall from your head."
From the time they met until now, Nanxi has rarely heard the word "love" from this man's mouth, maybe only two or three times at most.
He is a pragmatist and not good at expressing strong emotions. He always does things instead of saying them. Even when they are in bed, when the emotions are extremely strong, he will only hold her and say over and over again.
"Nan Xiaoxi, you are mine."
Nanxi can feel Balu's love almost all the time, so she doesn't care whether he says it or not. The reason why she asked this today is that she doesn't understand where Nan Suzhi's feelings for her come from. How could the relationship between such a close relative suddenly turn into a love between a man and a woman?
