After recovering from the joy of seeing Pei Yuan again, Tang Ning accepted Su Mo's invitation and prepared to temporarily bring Pei Yuan to live with her at the Su family's courtyard.
Why did Su Mo give such a convincing reason? He was afraid that Brother Chen and the others would be unethical and hold a grudge against Tang Ning for her previous ruthlessness even after taking the money. If they were to have any bad intentions, neither the guesthouse nor the Su family courtyard would be able to handle it. Staying together would at least provide mutual support, and his family had enough rooms anyway.
Tang Ning couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so she quickly packed her luggage with Pei Yuan and went to the Su family's courtyard together.
Her staff members had all set off for Qing City yesterday afternoon. Only Tang Ning, still thinking about her promise to Su Mo in Wenshan, stayed for another day, so there was no need to worry about implicating these people.
If you're so worried that Brother Chen and the others will take the money and then have bad intentions, why don't you all take advantage of the time and leave together in one car?
If things were that simple, that would be great. The main problem is that Su Ya is still in school, and there are many things to deal with, such as her student registration. It will take at least a day or two to process them. We can't all leave her alone. If Brother Chen and the others really take their anger out on the young girl, it will be too late...
So, when Su Ya saw her brother rushing out in the morning, by evening, she not only brought her sweetheart, Tang Ning, back to her home, but also went beyond expectations and brought her boyfriend back as well!
Suya, a high school girl who had never seen anything like this before, was so shocked that she almost dropped the instant noodles in her hand.
Seeing Tang Ning greet her with her handsome boyfriend, whose eyes seemed to have some issues, and say something like "I'm sorry to bother you," Su Ya hurriedly put down the instant noodles in her hand, wiped the food residue from her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "It's okay, it's alright, feel free to stay anywhere."
Su Ya appeared outwardly obedient and polite, but inwardly she was in a state of utter confusion, not knowing what to do. Sister Tang Ning actually had a boyfriend? But that was normal. Sister Tang Ning was rich, beautiful, had a stunning figure, and a likable personality. If she didn't have a boyfriend, Su Ya would wonder if all the men in the world were blind!
But none of that matters. The important thing is that she has a boyfriend, and her brother... and...
Wouldn't that be considered stealing someone's partner?
Su Ya, who was focused on her studies and had never even had a crush, felt that her values were crumbling. She couldn't help but glance at her brother with her eyes, and then glance at him again.
I never imagined you were this kind of brother...
Then she discovered that her brother was quite arrogant in his affair, showing no trace of the shy and timid little wife he had been in front of Sister Tang Ning not long ago. This made Su Ya, who had always wanted a boyfriend like an older brother, frantically shake her head in her heart.
The key is that her brother is formidable; even Tang Ning's boyfriend, who seems to be blind, doesn't seem to be someone to be trifled with.
Yes, even though she's never eaten pork, little Suya, who's seen pigs run, immediately saw through the undercurrents between her brother and Tang Ning's boyfriend.
Is this what love between adults is like? It's terrifying!
Su Ya couldn't help but swallow hard. To relieve her inner pressure, she reached for the instant noodles she had placed aside and took a small bite.
However, she noticed that Sister Tang Ning didn't seem to notice anything amiss with the two men beside her. She looked innocent and adorable, as straight as steel, constantly trying to join in the two fighting cocks' conversation. Each additional word she uttered escalated their "battle" to a new level. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Sister Tang Ning's eyes and expression were completely devoid of any abnormality, Su Ya would have suspected that she was doing it on purpose!
As it grew darker, the aroma of food wafted over from next door. Su Ya, who was already hungry again after eating a whole bag of instant noodles due to the heavy workload of high school, took advantage of the temporary truce between her brother and boyfriend and pitifully raised her hand.
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to her. Even her unseen boyfriend seemed to notice and glanced at her. Su Ya's heart skipped a beat, and she almost choked on her own saliva. Under immense pressure, she stammered, "Brother... Brother, Tang Ning... Sister, it's getting late. Shouldn't we eat?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning, who was enjoying watching the drama unfold and stirring things up, glanced at the completely dark sky outside the door and frowned slightly. "Yes, it's dark now. It's time for dinner. Xiao Ya, you must be hungry, right? What are we having for dinner?"
"Noodle."
"rice."
As soon as Tang Ning finished her questioning, Su Mo and Pei Yuan gave different opinions.
After giving their suggestions, the two men paused for a moment, then turned to ask Tang Ning, who was standing beside them.
"Sister Tang Ning, you've always loved noodles. You told me before, and I've kept it in mind. We happen to have some flour at home, so let's make some sweet and sour tomato hand-pulled noodles. I'm sure you'll love it, okay?"
This is the thoughtful Su Mo.
"Rice is still better. Last time we went to Uncle Qin's place for dinner, didn't you say that the pickled fish with rice was absolutely delicious? Actually, it doesn't have to be eaten at home. I asked around before I came, and there's a farmhouse restaurant here that makes pretty good food. Since we're all here, maybe we can go and try it together. What do you think?"
This is the gentle Pei Yuan.
"Hmm, I think everything's fine. By the way, Xiaoya, do you have any opinions? You seem quite hungry..."
Su Ya, who was trembling to the side, almost cried out in her heart as soon as she saw Tang Ning's gaze fall on her, but it was too late. Tang Ning had already asked her question.
Suddenly thrust into the eye of the storm, Suya chuckled sheepishly and rubbed her head. "Actually...actually I'm not hungry, really not hungry. I just ate a whole bag of instant noodles, and my stomach is still a bit full. I don't really want to eat anything..."
Su Ya, who had already learned to use a smile to hide her inner sadness at such a young age, kept forcing a smile.
"Really? Then we..."
Before Tang Ning could finish speaking, Su Mo, who had been sitting next to her, suddenly stood up. "Brother Shen Yin, you're not talking about that Old Su's Sauerkraut Fish in town, are you? Actually, I used to work there. If you want to eat their fish, you don't need to go out of your way to eat there. Their sauerkraut fish is the only thing that's really good. The other dishes aren't that great. Besides, my sauerkraut fish is already better than their chef's."
"How about this? Since Aunt Liu has gone home anyway, I'll cook dinner. I'll make some noodles and steam some rice, and also a pot of pickled fish. After all, home-cooked food is always cleaner than what you get outside. What do you say, Sister Tang Ning?"
Su Mo's words were exceptionally kind and understanding.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
Tang Ning hurriedly asked this question.
"No, you helped me so much before, what's a little meal for you? Wait for me a moment, I'll go to town and buy a black carp right now, is a black carp okay?"
Su Mo looked very interested.
"Of course you can."
Tang Ning replied.
The two of them went on like this, asking and answering questions, completely excluding the boyfriend from the conversation.
But this boyfriend is a tough guy; even in this situation, he can still laugh.
Su Ya said silently to herself.
But regardless, the older brother wins this round.
As the sun set, Tang Ning watched Su Mo leave the courtyard, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Pei Yuan standing behind her with a dejected expression.
“Ningning…”
The man's voice was low and deep, causing Tang Ning to frown instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yuan raised his hazy eyes, which were almost filled with worry and fear, mixed with a faint sadness.
"Compared to Su Mo, am I too useless? I'm blind, and I can't even cook you a meal, I..."
Pei Yuan couldn't say anything more because Tang Ning had already reached out and hugged his waist.
"How could that be? Su Mo is Su Mo, and you are you. Why are you comparing yourself to him?"
"But……"
"No buts, you are you, the most unique you in my heart, you don't need to be compared with anyone else."
Tang Ning hugged him even tighter.
"Tang Ning... So, you don't think there's anything wrong with me, right?"
"Of course, I will never think there is anything wrong with you."
Tang Ning said in a serious tone.
"I……"
"Um?"
"I want to... kiss you, is that okay? I don't mean anything by it. I haven't seen you in such a long, long time. I miss you so much, and I want to..."
Before Pei Yuan could finish speaking, he immediately felt a soft touch on his lips. Even though it was something he had planned, his heart still skipped a beat when he felt that soft touch.
Tang Ning...
If he weren't afraid of scaring Tang Ning, he would have wanted to hug her tightly in his arms.
But not yet, we need to wait a little longer, just a little longer and it will be fine.
At that moment, Su Ya, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw this scene in the yard. She immediately covered her eyes, peeking out through her fingers, and sighed heavily in her heart.
The older brother thought he had won, but in reality, he had lost miserably.
After finishing the dinner that Su Mo had carefully prepared, it was almost 10 p.m., and it was time to go to bed.
Tang Ning and Pei Yuan were also arranged by Su Mo to be in two separate rooms, one in the south and one in the north, with Tang Ning's room right next to Su Mo's.
Su Ya wouldn't believe it if her brother hadn't smuggled in his own agenda and taken advantage of her blindness.
Just as Su Ya was on tenterhooks, wary of what big move her boyfriend was going to make, to her surprise, he didn't make a move. Perhaps he was comforted by Tang Ning's kiss in the yard, and quietly accepted her brother's arrangement to stay in the room on the south side.
Thinking that the showdown between experts tonight was about to end, Su Ya finally felt relieved and went to brush her teeth while yawning.
Hearing the commotion outside, she came out with a toothbrush in one hand and a mouthwash cup in the other, only to realize how incredibly naive she had been just a minute ago—more naive than soap bubbles blown by elementary school students.
Because she saw her boyfriend accidentally kick over the kettle, and boiling water splashed directly onto her calf. Luckily, it only hit her calf and nothing serious happened.
But given his condition, how could Sister Tang Ning bear to let him live alone in such a strange room? He couldn't see and was being taken care of by a beautiful woman, so she immediately wanted her boyfriend to stay in the same room with her. Even when her brother offered to take care of him, Sister Tang Ning refused.
"No need, I can take care of him. Besides, Shen Yin isn't used to sharing a room with other people, so I can manage."
Tang Ning took the hand of the man beside her, and while Su Mo remained silent, she asked for some burn ointment and led him to her room.
Back in the room, Tang Ning had just asked Pei Yuan to roll up her trouser legs so she could apply some burn ointment to him. But no sooner had she finished than Su Mo knocked on the door from outside, bringing them hot water, followed by a constant stream of snacks, fruits, and drinks.
When Tang Ning subtly hinted that they were going to sleep and might not need these things, the boy went even further, starting to catch mice and cockroaches, keeping them up all night.
The next day, after completing the transfer procedures, Su Ya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, first politely greeted the driver. When she saw the dark circles under her brother's and boyfriend's eyes in the back seat, Su Ya was startled. When she saw Tang Ning's beautiful face, which was sitting between the two of them and had not changed at all, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wait a minute, Tang Ning doesn't have dark circles under her eyes, but her boyfriend and brother do. Isn't that a bit strange? If we didn't know better, we'd think they left Tang Ning behind last night to do something else!
You shouldn't think about it, because as soon as you do, you're likely to go in an unhealthy direction.
You ask why Tang Ning, who was also disturbed all night, doesn't look tired at all? Don't ask, it's just that she's naturally beautiful. Just kidding, with the system around, she certainly wouldn't allow herself to end up like Su Mo and Pei Yuan, those two fighting cocks.
Soon after, Su Ya noticed the strange atmosphere in the car. She peeked into the rearview mirror and saw that Tang Ning smiled at her brother first, and then gently scratched her boyfriend's palm.
If Su Ya didn't know Tang Ning's character and that she didn't mean anything by it, she would have suspected that Tang Ning was the kind of womanizer that people often talk about online. Otherwise, how could she be so skilled at it?
But that's probably not the case. Sister Tang Ning is just a bit too straightforward; she can't possibly see through the undercurrents between her brother and her boyfriend like she does.
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss!
Su Ya silently said this in her heart.
The car drove on a flat and wide road, with the fiery red maple leaves of Wenshan flashing by.
Seeing this ready-made excuse, Su Mo couldn't resist and grabbed Tang Ning's arm, excitedly introducing her to the scenery outside the window.
Tang Ning's attention was immediately drawn to him.
"Yes, it's really beautiful. It's a pity we didn't get a chance to go up and take a proper look this time..."
"It's okay, Sister Tang Ning. If you want to come visit in the future, I can come back with you anytime, okay?"
"Really? Okay!"
Tang Ning smiled.
Just then, a few soft coughs sounded beside her. She quickly turned her head to look at Pei Yuan on the other side. "What's wrong? Is the window too open? You told me last night that you haven't gotten better since you went abroad. Is your throat sore?"
As she spoke, Tang Ning gestured to Su Mo to close the window a little smaller.
"It's alright, my throat is just a little itchy. Did I disturb your enjoyment of the scenery?"
Pei Yuan frowned, looking somewhat apologetic.
"No, no..."
Tang Ning quickly shook her head, noticing the faint longing rising in Pei Yuan's eyes. A look of annoyance flashed across her eyes. She had been chatting so intently with Su Mo that she had completely forgotten that her boyfriend was blind. She had been too careless.
Do you want to know what the scenery is like outside?
Thinking of this, Tang Ning quickly asked.
"I...can I? But I can't see at all..."
"It's okay, didn't I tell you before? I said I could be your eyes, and I could tell you about any scenery outside..."
After saying that, Tang Ning took Pei Yuan's hand and, while looking at the scenery outside, leaned close to Pei Yuan's ear and vividly described it to him.
Just when Su Ya thought she was about to be defeated again, she stared in disbelief as her brother rummaged through his backpack and finally pulled out a stainless steel thermos. He poured a cup of hot water into the lid and handed it to Tang Ning, who had just finished speaking and paused for a moment.
"Sister, you must be thirsty after talking so much. Drink up, this is honey grapefruit tea I prepared this morning. It's good for soothing your throat and clearing your lungs in autumn. I noticed your voice was already a little hoarse when I heard you talking yesterday..."
Su Mo said this gently.
Caught off guard, Tang Ning stared at the honey grapefruit tea in front of her, paused for a moment, and then chuckled softly, "Thank you, Su Mo, you're so thoughtful!"
As she was speaking, just as she was about to share some of her tea with Pei Yuan, Su Mo, who had already prepared, took another cup, poured another cup of tea, and handed it to her, saying, "No need to share, I prepared quite a lot, there's more here."
Not only them, but even Suya got a cup of sweet and sour honey grapefruit tea, and she squinted her eyes while drinking it.
As everyone was enjoying the sweetness of the honey grapefruit tea, Pei Yuan suddenly asked casually, "Ningning, are we going back to Blue Whale Bay later?"
"Blue Whale Bay?" Before Tang Ning could answer, Su Mo spoke up first, "Aren't we going back to the villa?"
"Or are you saying you're never coming back to the villa anymore, sister?"
Su Mo frowned. "But...but I still owe you so much money. I don't know how to do anything else, all I know is taking care of people. I really can't think of any other way to repay you. If you're going to Blue Whale Bay, could...could I go with you? Otherwise, I'll really feel guilty..."
"But won't it be...inconvenient for you?"
"How could that be? I enjoy taking care of Sister Tang Ning. After you've worked so hard, I'm happy to cook delicious meals and help you choose your clothes. As long as Brother Shen Yin doesn't mind..."
"But Brother Shenyin, you're such a kind person, you definitely won't mind, right?"
Su Mo smiled innocently.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning also turned to look at Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes showing no trace of resentment, and said, "Of course not."
After watching the entire fight, Su Ya took a sip of her honey grapefruit tea, but it still didn't relieve her dry mouth.
Men, terrifying men!
Meanwhile, on the other side, standing on the balcony of the villa, Han Jun held up his phone and asked earnestly, "Are you sure President Tang will arrive in Qing City at 8:30 tonight? Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Han Jun immediately placed his hand on the balcony railing. He had done everything he could, even moving his home next door to Tang Ning's. He had even thought of what to say when they pretended to bump into each other. He had laid out all the steps and was just waiting for Tang Ning to come down.
Because he had already thought about it beforehand. Shen Yin was so scheming and cunning. If he really distanced himself from Tang Ning because of Tang Ning's misunderstanding, he might really fall into his trap. He had to take advantage of the fact that Tang Ning still had feelings for him and had not been completely seduced by Shen Yin, and try his best to coax Tang Ning back to his side.
After that, the two of them should resolve their issues internally first, making sure that no outsiders have any opportunity to take advantage of them!
Han Jun thought this with absolute certainty.
He waited and waited until he was almost asleep on his newly bought sofa. It was already ten o'clock, but he still hadn't seen a trace of Tang Ning. In his anxiety, he was about to call the employee who had given him the message again when, almost at the same time, he saw Tang Ning's Bentley slowly driving towards him from a distance from the balcony.
Seeing this, Han Jun mentally reviewed the conversation about their chance encounter once more, barely suppressing his excitement as he walked to the door. After thinking for a moment, he returned to the sofa, picked up the trash bag from the bin (which didn't contain much trash), slipped on his slippers, and quickly walked downstairs.
He first pretended not to care and threw the trash into the empty trash can next to him. Then, as if noticing the state of Tang Ning's car, he turned his head in surprise, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Tang Ning, I never expected..." You actually live here?
Before Han Jun could finish speaking, he saw that scheming Pei Yuan get out of Tang Ning's car, holding Tang Ning's right hand with his left.
Before Han Jun could even get angry, he saw a bright-eyed, black-haired boy get out of the car and take the luggage from Tang Ning's hands.
"Sister, let me do these..."
He heard this person say such shameless words.
Author's Note: Han Jun: You three scoundrels! Ugh! Shameless! Ugh! [Angry to the point of vomiting.jpg]
Pei Yuan: Ningning, he's so fierce! I feel so pitiful~~
Su Mo: Sister, he's so fierce! You're so pitiful~~
Tang Ning: ...
A chaotic scene that everyone loves to witness, hahaha~
