Ba Lu watched her fixing her long hair in the mirror while talking about other men, and his handsome face darkened.
"Why? Care about him?"
Nanxi paused while rubbing the essential oil. Her distinct black and white eyes glanced at the man with black energy emanating from his head, who was reflected in the mirror. She frowned.
"It's none of your business."
"If you don't want me to take care of it, then who do you want to take care of it? Hmm? Nan Xiaoxi, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you quietly got engaged to someone else. I'm not even dead yet, are you going to die?"
The girl glared at him fearlessly, picked up the air cushion comb and started to comb her hair.
"I do want to go to heaven, but I need that ability."
"Nan Xiaoxi, stop talking to me and explain." Balu pulled a stool over and sat down next to him, as if he was going to explain himself clearly today.
"What to explain?" Nanxi didn't even raise her eyelids.
"Pretending to be stupid, huh? You only have one chance to explain why you're getting engaged to Shen Ce. If you can't explain well, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
Nanxi was still calm and composed. She put down her comb and tied her hair up.
"Go wash the dishes. Don't bring food into the bedroom anymore. It smells terrible." She stood up and opened the wardrobe to pick out clothes.
Baru went out angrily with the bowl, washed it quickly, and went back in.
Nanxi had already changed her clothes and was putting on makeup. Baru came over and said, "Wife——"
Nanxi knew what he wanted to ask, and said while putting on makeup, "You should know about my family's affairs, right? Shen Ce and I agreed that he would help me save the Nan family and investigate the truth of my father's case. In exchange, I would marry him. Some of my grandfather's old friends in Jing City are in high positions, and they have all watched me grow up. When necessary, I will take Shen Ce to socialize in those people's circles to pave the way for his future.
His parents knew about this and had agreed to it. I never expected this bastard to have such violent tendencies and personality flaws."
"Are you really planning to marry him?" Baru only paid attention to this key piece of information for a long time.
Nanxi didn't say anything.
Not saying anything means acquiescence.
"Nan Xiaoxi, are you still planning to let him sleep with you? Huh? You feel so righteous about cheating on me?" The man was furious, his eyes were red, and he growled in a rough voice.
"I don't know." Nanxi put down the makeup brush in her hand, "I want to save my father, and the identity of Shen's daughter-in-law is very useful."
She is not the same as before.
Balu looked at her. She was still as beautiful as before, and still made him unable to stop. But he always felt that she was different from the crying, weak and pitiful Nan Xiaoxi. She seemed to have grown a few thorns that would prick people.
"Nanxi——"
"Baru," she interrupted him, pursed her lips, turned her head and looked directly into the man's dark eyes.
"I'm the only one left in the Nan family now. I have to stay here and wait for my father to come home. You can stay for two days and then go back. Don't waste time here with me anymore. I'm really tired."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head again, put on some lipstick, stood up and walked out the door.
Baru closed his eyes and exhaled a few times.
Tired, so tired.
Even though I’m tired, I still dress up so nicely to go out.
Raising a hand, he scratched his short hair, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."
The most respected uncle of the Nan family usually lives in a courtyard in the suburbs. He only comes to the city to stay with the children for two days during ancestor worship or festivals.
When Balu and Nanxi arrived at the courtyard in the suburbs, their uncle was busy.
A few days ago, the pigpen collapsed, so he called two people over to help rebuild it.
"Uncle!" Nanxi called out, and then turned around to see her uncle who was leaning on a crutch and watching the workers working.
"Oh, it's Xixi girl here. Come on, let's go inside and have some tea."
"Hello, uncle!" Balu greeted him obediently like a Tibetan mastiff with its tail between its legs.
“Okay, okay!”
The uncle invited the two of them into the inner room. Balu really couldn't understand the Chinese tea culture. Such a small cup was not even enough for a sip. He felt itchy all over after sitting for less than two minutes.
Nanxi poked him on the back and said, "Go outside and take a walk. I want to talk to my uncle."
Baru, as if pardoned, got up and went outside.
Nanxi took out the engagement certificate, the engagement ring, the card, and the gift list from the Shen family from her bag.
"Uncle, that's all. Sorry to bother you. I've already had the valuable jewelry and real estate on the gift list returned. I'll just have the Shen family check it out."
"Xixi girl, marriage is not a joke. Have you thought it through? You're not breaking off the engagement because of that young man just now, are you?"
"No, uncle." Nanxi shook her head, "I always thought that although Shen Ce was a bit of a dandy, he was at least a normal adult. But yesterday I suddenly discovered that he had personality flaws and violent tendencies. People like him can't control their emotions and are very scary. I'm making a choice, not a gamble.
If he was a normal person with stable emotions, I would listen to my father and marry him obediently, but he is not. When my father comes back, I will explain to him.
As for the rest, I'll figure it out. Anyway, Shen Ce can't be considered anymore."
The uncle's gray brows knitted together, "Got it, Xixi girl, don't worry, I will go to the Shen family in person for this matter."
Nanxi nodded and thanked his uncle. The two chatted for a while and then left the main house. He saw Balu working with two workers, working very hard.
The golden sunset falls on his strong and sturdy back, which exudes a kind of endless vitality.
My uncle stroked his goatee and said nothing.
"These vegetables are all grown by me. There is no place to buy them in the city. Xixi girl, bring more." The uncle instructed Balu to move some freshly picked vegetables and fruits in the kitchen to the car.
