Chapter 961 Trustworthy
"As for knowing each other, I've actually known him for way too long..." Nie Yao's lips curled slightly as she explained with a smile, "But I trust him, just as he trusts me! We're the same kind of people at heart. We have goals and ambitions, but we won't harm others to achieve them. However, when faced with villains who want to harm us, we won't show mercy either!"
She finished her words slowly and solemnly, and when she saw that Old Nie remained silent, she added with a smile, "Grandpa, if you are willing to believe me, you can believe him!"
Elder Nie narrowed his eyes and looked at Nie Yao deeply. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Ayao, I can see that you love him very much, but I didn't expect that you trust him so deeply..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly, and did not rush to explain, but whispered: "Grandpa, let me tell you a story!"
Old Nie nodded happily, leaned against the head of the bed, and listened to Nie Yao's story with great interest.
Nie Yao took a sip of hot tea and began to tell her grandfather the story that happened in Egypt some time ago.
She said that she had deliberately quarreled with Li Jinxing and sent him away in order to lure out the tomb robber boss behind the scenes. Later, Li Jinxing sensed something was wrong and guessed her intentions. He rushed back to Egypt regardless of the danger and drove into the Death Highway in the desert in the middle of the night just to find her...
"I have experience crossing the desert, but he doesn't. But he was determined to find me, regardless of the danger. Fortunately, we were rescued by the desert natives and stayed in their house for one night..."
Nie Yao sighed softly as she spoke. "I didn't sleep well that night; the bed was very hard. But I knew the man I was trying to protect was worth it, because if he were in danger, he would do the same to protect me. I'm so glad I have such a partner! Even if he doesn't have wealth and isn't the revered Master Li Jiu, he's still a man worthy of my lifelong companionship!"
Nie Yao spoke slowly and solemnly. She had never even said these words to Li Jinxing in person, but in front of her grandfather and in front of outsiders, she would defend him without hesitation!
Old Nie was used to his granddaughter's nonchalant attitude. It seemed that apart from archaeology, there was nothing else she was willing to care about!
Now seeing her so persistent in defending Li Jinxing, her expression was different every time she talked about him, and her tone was more serious than ever before, Old Nie couldn't help but be moved.
And the story she told also surprised him a little... It turned out that unknown to him, they had already experienced the brink of life and death together!
In his life, he had seen many wealthy couples falling out over property, or running away separately when faced with disaster. Now, hearing that two young people, Nie Yao and Li Jinxing, could still face danger together, he felt quite emotional.
"Ayao, it seems Grandpa has been worrying too much..." Old Nie smiled faintly, took Nie Yao's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said, "Grandpa believes in you, so he is also willing to trust the partner you choose!"
Nie Yao nodded and smiled at Old Nie: "Grandpa, thank you for your trust. Li Jinxing is worthy of your trust!"
"Ayao, I'm really happy for you. You're a good child and deserve God's blessing!" Elder Nie held his granddaughter's hand tightly and sighed softly, "Luckily, you met Li Jinxing instead of marrying Ji Minghuan..."
