Chapter 246 This time they stopped it
In the small living room, Lou Hongjian, who was instructing his father to paint a double portrait, inadvertently looked up and saw little Mao Mao standing inside the iron gate through the transparent glass window, tilting her head back and talking to someone.
A long, dark figure stood outside the iron gate.
His expression changed: "Dad, something's wrong! Someone's here looking for Mao Mao!"
Commander Lou immediately raised his head.
The father and son rushed over and intercepted Nie Zhengyun's invitation.
"Maomao!"
Lou Dashuai picked up his youngest daughter and glanced warily at Nie Zhengyun through the carved iron gate, showing no intention of having the gate opened to invite him in.
"Mao Mao," he asked, looking down at his youngest daughter in his arms, "what did he say to you?"
Nie Zhengyun remained calm and said, "General, please don't misunderstand. I'm just inviting Miss Mao to my home as a guest."
Mao Mao nodded and said, "Uncle said that his family's chef can make zongzi in eight different flavors!"
Lou Dashuai's heart skipped a beat: "You agreed?!"
Mao Mao shook her head and obediently held his shoulder: "Dad said that Mao Mao can't go to Uncle's house to play whenever she wants, but Mao Mao didn't agree."
Lou Dashuai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, we made it in time this time!
"Uncle, although I can't come, you can come to my house for some zongzi!" Mao Mao enthusiastically invited, "My family's chef uncle can make many different kinds of zongzi. He's a really good cook, you can come to my house for some!"
Nie Zhengyun: "Oh?"
Commander Lou: "No way!"
"hold head high?"
Mao Mao looked over with her big, dark eyes, her gaze filled with a clear sense of bewilderment and confusion.
“Since the commander-in-chief does not agree, I will not force him.” Nie Zhengyun said regretfully, “Although I live alone, I can manage on my own. It’s just a pity that I can’t hear Miss Mao Mao’s harmonica, and I will have to eat all those zongzi by myself.”
Maomao:!
Lou Dashuai reacted quickly, reaching out to cover Mao Mao's little face. His hands were large enough to cover Mao Mao's face with a single slap, silencing her little baby voice that was about to come out, leaving only her big, clear eyes visible.
Mao Mao: "Hmm?"
Lou Dashuai looked at the people outside the iron gate with a forced smile and a sharp gaze: "You want someone to eat zongzi with you? The Green Gang has so many people, and even if all else fails, there are millions of people in Haicheng. Nie Zhengyun, don't force me to invite you to eat a bullet."
Nie Zhengyun raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, his face showing some helplessness: "General, you've misunderstood. I meant no harm. I just wanted to be friends with Miss Mao Mao."
With her mouth covered, Mao Mao nodded and said, "Mmm!"
Uncle is Mao Mao's good friend!
"Whether you want to be friends or something else, you know it in your heart. Neither you nor Shen Zhaolin are good people!" Lou Dashuai glared fiercely at her, then lowered his head, his expression and tone immediately softening: "Maomao, Daddy will eat zongzi with you."
Mao Mao: "Hmm..."
Lou Dashuai let go of his hand.
Mao Mao blinked and asked hesitantly, "What about Uncle?"
"He's a grown man, why do you need to worry about him?"
"Uncle is all alone."
"..."
So, he said so much, but Mao Mao didn't hear a single word he said?
Nie Zhengyun took a step back first and put his invitation back into his pocket.
The invitation was originally for Mao Mao, but he took it back, which meant he was giving up on inviting Mao Mao to his home. Since he'd known Mao Mao, when had he ever seen him give up so easily?
Lou Dashuai's eyelids twitched uneasily.
Then, the bastard outside the iron gate let out a soft sigh, a sigh that seemed to seep into Mao Mao's heart.
Nie Zhengyun shook his head slightly, looking somewhat dejected, and sighed, "If the Commander-in-Chief doesn't agree, then I can't force him. However, we had agreed beforehand to invite Miss Mao Mao to my house, and I've been looking forward to it. I don't know when the Commander-in-Chief will finally agree."
Commander Lou: "..."
Upon hearing this, Mao Mao immediately became anxious and struggled to climb down from her father's arms: "Now, now is fine!"
"Not now!" Commander Lou quickly hugged his daughter tightly to prevent her from falling.
"Dad, Mao Mao is playing with Uncle."
"No, you're busy. Aren't you learning from your mothers? And your third brother is going to teach you to draw. Are you going to stand him up?"
Lou Hongjian quickly tried to cover for his father: "That's right, Mao Mao, I even canceled a lot of appointments to come and give you a lesson."
Mao Mao indeed looked hesitant.
Nie Zhengyun interjected, "I can adjust it according to Miss Mao Mao's schedule."
Commander Lou: "..."
Those two bastards are both incredibly difficult to deal with.
Shen Zhaolin was oblivious to subtle cues.
Nie Zhengyun doesn't care about anyone's feelings at all.
He realized he couldn't let Nie Zhengyun and Mao Mao stay together. The little girl in his family was naive and easily fooled. If he said anything more, Mao Mao might even disown him as her father.
Lou Dashuai glared at Nie Zhengyun, picked up Mao Mao, and strode into the villa, coaxing her all the way: "It's just playing the harmonica, right? Daddy will listen! Daddy will eat zongzi with you, play with you, and draw with you... During the Dragon Boat Festival, our family will be busy with so many things, you won't have time to go play with others."
Mao Mao's puzzled little voice drifted from afar: "Is our family very busy?"
"Busy, very busy. I have to wrap zongzi, and... um... right, I'll have your four older brothers have a rowing race for you."
"oh!"
The two people's voices and figures disappeared into the mansion.
Left behind the iron gate, Lou Hongjian and Nie Zhengyun looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lou Hongjian tentatively asked, "Mr. Nie?"
Nie Zhengyun looked up at the tightly closed iron gate.
Despite saying all that, he still couldn't get through the door.
Lou Hongjian said with a wry smile, "Mr. Nie, my father is already very angry because of Shen Zhaolin, so please don't add fuel to the fire."
Nie Zhengyun said with some regret, "Third Young Master, you flatter me. I have no intention of opposing the Commander-in-Chief."
No? Lou Hongjian thought to himself: Dad is a firecracker now, he'll explode at the slightest provocation. Just seeing the two of you makes him furious.
He smiled, said nothing more, bent down, pushed his sister's stroller, and pushed it back under the eaves.
Nie Zhengyun got back into the car.
"Master Nie?" his subordinate asked from the driver's seat.
Nie Zhengyun stroked the invitation in his hand and said coldly, "Go back."
He thought it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, Shen Zhaolin appeared out of nowhere.
Just as the Third Young Master said, Shen Zhaolin had just angered Commander Lou, and at this critical moment, he was inevitably caught up in his anger and could not get Mao Mao to come.
We can only wait for another opportunity.
Shen Zhaolin...
The car gradually drove out of the Marshal's Mansion area.
Nie Zhengyun slowly stroked the jade ring on his thumb, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Why does Shen Zhaolin also want to be Mao Mao's godfather?
