Chapter 102 The Beloved Little Cousin 19
The high-rise building is empty. Although there are bright lights and neon lights below, it can only be seen but not touched.
Being high above, one feels a little lonely for no reason.
The girl was wearing pairs of bright-colored slippers with pink and white heels. There was curiosity in her eyes, like a lamb that had strayed into a wolf's den, exploring the unknown.
The man looked at her quietly, watching the girl exploring her private space like a lost lamb, and the gloom in his eyes grew heavier.
With a slight movement of his slender fingers, he asked the nanny to prepare dinner. After dinner, he gave instructions for everything and went into the study.
The nanny carefully prepared fruits and snacks and placed them in the living room. The girl ignored all the calls and messages and curled up on the sofa watching TV.
The large-screen color TV was reflecting colorful lights. Nan Qiao turned the TV around boredly, and soon put down the remote control in boredom.
She lay on the sofa, looking at her phone which kept vibrating due to the constant message updates, pursed her lips, and threw the phone on the table beside her.
There was a book on the table, with the words "The Wealth of Nations" written in white on a black background standing out clearly. The girl sat up and picked up the book.
The entire cover of the book looks brand new, and it looks like a decorative book that has not been flipped through many times.
Nan Qiao picked up a piece of watermelon with a fork and took a bite. The sweet juice made her eyes narrow slightly in satisfaction. She felt much better and leaned back on the soft sofa, casually opening the title page of the book.
She flipped the pages very casually, and the title page opened with force. Two A4 papers that were neatly attached to the inside of the title page suddenly flew out and fell on the sofa.
Nan Qiao picked up one of the A4 papers that could be found in such a book, thinking it was some kind of note. She glanced at it casually and was about to put the paper back when she accidentally glanced at the words on the paper and her eyes fixed.
"...Xu Ru's genotype does not meet the genetic requirements for being Nan Qiao's biological mother..."
This sentence was like a slap in the face, making Nan Qiao's head explode with a buzzing sound.
The girl blinked her eyes and clenched two A4 papers in a daze. Her already unclear mind became even more confused.
...What do you mean by not meeting the genetic requirements of Nan Qiao's biological mother's lineage?
Isn’t Xu Ru her mother?
Isn’t she Xu Ru’s daughter?
How could it be...incompatible...
A hint of panic appeared in the girl's eyes. She looked around and found that another A4 paper had fallen outside the sofa. She immediately stood up to pick it up and began to read it eagerly.
"Adoption Agreement!" Four big characters were printed on the first page of the A4 paper. In the lower right corner, the signatures of Nan Tian and Xu Ru were clearly visible.
The girl's eyes widened slightly at the contents written in black and white. Her hand holding the A4 paper tightened slightly, and her face gradually turned pale.
So, she is not her parents' biological daughter...
The light from the large-screen color TV not far away began to gradually become blurred. The girl with tearful eyes looked at the two paternity test reports, feeling a little at a loss.
If there were other people in the study at this time, they would quickly discover that the man who was thought to be working seriously and attentively was actually looking at the computer seriously.
The image on the computer screen was the surveillance video in the living room.
The devastated girl curled up on the sofa again, hugging the fluffy doll in a daze. Not long after, her shoulders began to tremble slightly, as if she was crying.
The smile on the man's lips faded a little, and his dark eyes stared at the girl who was in confusion, bewilderment and helplessness. He was silent for a moment, stood up from the desk, and strode out of the study.
The living room was much brighter than the study. As soon as he entered the living room, the man caught sight of the little head curled up on the sofa.
Xu Congnan stood silently at the door of the living room and looked at her for a while. The girl was listless, and all her energy seemed to have been crushed by the two paternity test reports.
The gloom in his eyes gradually deepened. The man walked over and sat on the sofa on the side. Just like in the car, he pulled the girl, who was immersed in her own thoughts, into his arms again.
He seemed to have grown bolder, no longer hiding himself, and buried his chin directly in the girl's white shoulders.
Nan Qiao's mind was in a mess, and she didn't start to struggle weakly until she noticed the man's movements. But her whole body was embedded in the man's arms at this time, so how could she struggle free?
Making a fuss all the time will only make yourself exhausted.
The girl did not continue to struggle. She was not stupid. Her gradually clear mind allowed her to quickly figure out the situation. She raised her face and said affirmatively:
"You deliberately let me see those two paternity test reports."
I deliberately let her know that she is not her parents' biological daughter, nor is she the Xu family's cousin.
The girl returned to his arms again, full of fragrance. Xu Congnan placed his cold thin lips on her shoulder, and the slight chill made the girl shiver unconsciously.
He chuckled softly, his words carrying an unusual intimacy: "Qiao Qiao is really smart."
The girl paused for a moment, looking at the man with some confusion in her eyes, but when she noticed his actions, all this confusion turned into disbelief.
Xu Congnan also looked down at her, and after noticing the girl's gaze, he no longer concealed his affection and completely vented it out.
He hugged the girl tightly in his arms, and even kissed her smooth forehead, his eyes unclear.
All the speculations became clear at this moment. The girl opened her eyes slightly, with a look of fear in her eyes. After realizing that she had always treated him as her cousin, she struggled even harder.
She stretched out her arms and pushed the man's chest, wanting to completely stay away from the man in front of her.
But how could such a delicate and weak girl be his opponent? Xu Congnan smiled faintly and easily suppressed the girl's struggle and completely imprisoned her in his arms.
The entire living room was silent. The girl, who was forced to lie on the man's chest, was now panting, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her bright eyes were covered with a layer of light because of anger, her eyes were full and charming.
She bit her lip and said in a desperate tone, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Now she doesn't even want to call him cousin.
Xu Congnan didn't mind. He didn't have any obsession with the title of cousin. He just said softly, "Qiao Qiao, don't you know what your cousin wants now?"
The girl in his arms seemed unable to accept it and said anxiously, "You are my cousin!"
Xu Congnan: "We are not related by blood."
The girl said something without thinking: "But I have always treated you as my cousin, how could you do this..."
How could he have such thoughts about her?
The girl was so angry that her already bright eyes became even brighter.
Xu Congnan remained calm and composed. He patted the girl's back gently, worried that she would have difficulty breathing because of anger, and then he leisurely answered her questions.
"Now that you know my feelings, will you still treat me as your cousin?"
Of course not!
She already knew that the other party had ulterior motives, so how could she treat him as her cousin?
The girl was a simple-minded person, and her thoughts were quickly revealed on her face.
Xu Congnan laughed. "That's fine. We're not related by blood, and Qiao Qiao no longer considers me her cousin. Isn't that just as well?"
"Since you don't treat me as your cousin anymore, it shouldn't be too much for me to pursue the girl I like."
The girl opened her eyes wide when she heard that. She obviously didn't expect that her cousin who always acted so bright and cheerful in front of her would have such a scoundrel side of making unreasonable arguments.
She did not let the other party's words go by, but took advantage of his unpreparedness to continue to refuse. She looked up at him and said seriously:
"I've always treated you as my cousin, and I've never liked you more than just a family member! If you do this again, I'll tell..."
Before Nan Qiao could finish her words, Xu Congnan quickly took over. He held the girl's hand against his chest, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell who? Tell my parents?"
"Qiao Qiao, do you think telling them will be helpful?"
He started planning as early as a year ago.
He had never been one to covet power. Even after inheriting the Xu family's fortune, he had managed it step by step, without any selfish motives. However, over the past year, he had used all sorts of tactics to completely seize control of the Xu family.
What is it for?
Is it just to have the ability to completely control the girl before she reaches adulthood?
He is now in power, and there is almost nothing his father, mother, uncles, and brothers can do to restrain him. The only ties they have are emotional ones.
No one in the Xu family could stop him.
Isn’t it?
The girl was not aware of this, but she knew in her heart that the other party was never a person who did things without a purpose.
A chill surged in her heart, and she suddenly loosened her hands that were clenched around the man's chest.
She felt sympathetic, tears welling in her eyes. Looking at her cousin who had made her rely on him even more over the past year, she said softly and dejectedly, "How could you do this to me? Didn't you say you would always protect me..."
Why force her like this now?
The former protector has transformed into an extremely aggressive victim. Nan Qiao clutched his sleeves, feeling extremely sad.
Xu Congnan's expression remained unchanged, still looking calm and composed. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with his fingertips and spoke softly.
"Of course I will always protect Qiao Qiao. I've just changed my identity."
But the girl in his arms didn't want to listen to him anymore, nor did she want to see him, and soon closed her eyes.
Xu Congnan no longer forced her. He picked up the girl from the sofa, walked into the room, and gently placed the girl on the bed.
He looked at the girl who turned her head away and didn't want to look at him, pulled the corner of his mouth, and took off his coat casually.
The girl was startled by his action, her eyes filled with panic, and she quickly asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Congnan smiled and pulled his tie innocently, "Sorry, Qiao Qiao, there is only one bedroom here."
Only one bedroom?
How could such a large flat have only one bedroom? Nan Qiao looked incredulous.
Xu Congnan stopped talking. He turned off the lights, quickly got on the bed, pulled the girl who wanted to escape into his arms, put his arms around her slender waist from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder.
The girl's body nestled in his arms again. The man's tone was as calm and gentle as before, completely different from the obscurity in his eyes at this moment:
"Be good, it's getting late. Qiao Qiao, go to bed first. You have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."
