Chapter 164 Dad
"I really, really want to raise you. There are many people who want to raise you, but I really can't."
Ning Yan put three fingers together and looked at Shi Ming, who lowered his eyes quietly in front of him. Fearing that he would think that she was going to abandon him again, she swore a poisonous oath: "If I have even the slightest thought of not wanting to support you, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Shi Ming raised his eyes to look at him. He was too young mentally to understand the helplessness in the adult world.
He could only distinguish between black and white and absolute right and wrong at the moment, and couldn't help but frown, puzzled by his inconsistency: "I said I don't care that you have no money, and you also said you want to support me, so why can't you do that?"
Ning Yan sighed: "Because your father wants to support you."
Shi Ming said seriously: "But I don't want to be supported by him."
Ning Yan raised her head, looked at him with a desperate look, and asked sadly, "Why?"
"Because you're so nice to me."
"He'll treat you better."
"My adoptive parents said the same thing when they didn't want me and were looking for an adoptive family for me."
Ning Yan slowly lowered his head and fell silent, his hand still in the posture of swearing, looking a little dejected.
Ina's engagement party was so lively, with so many guests that many international reporters were invited to record the interviews.
Ning Yan had a very keen sense of danger, but the non-threatening gaze was not enough to arouse his vigilance and attention. In addition, his mind was full of how to make Shi Ming return to Gu Jiujing happily, so it can be said that he was in a state of serious neglect of the surrounding environment.
He paid no attention to the reporters and guests around him who were taking photos and videos of him, and his mind was full of how to convince Shi Ming.
After thinking for a while, he asked Shi Ming, "Have you ever thought about... the issue of falling in love?"
Shi Ming was obviously stunned.
Seeing his reaction, Ning Yan knew that he was being very presumptuous and crazy.
I don’t know how to describe it when I ask an eight-year-old child if he has ever thought about falling in love.
Calling someone sick is too mild.
Just as he was about to change the subject back to his father, Shi Ming had already finished thinking and answered seriously: "Yu Li once said that I was his adopted daughter-in-law."
Ning Yan: “…”
Very good, you still want a double kill.
Ning Yan covered his mouth with his hand, sighing for all the anger in his life today. He closed his eyes and shook his head frantically at Shi Ming, almost saying "nonono" as a rap. He said in a deep voice: "Don't ever say this to your dad, understand?"
Shi Ming's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak. He could only express his confusion with a slightly frown.
Ning Yan had no choice but to lie to him: "Be good, your father has other arrangements for your marriage, let's listen to him."
Shi Ming still frowned, but the child showed no intention of compromising.
With no other options left, Ning Yan had no choice but to throw the can down and say to him, "Let me tell you this. If you go with me, or with Yu Li, we'll both be safe. In your father's eyes, I'm just a human trafficker who kidnaps children. You know what a human trafficker is, right? It's despicable and deserves death, so you can't follow me."
Afraid that Shi Ming would misunderstand that she had lied to him and didn't want him, Ning Yan quickly added: "Of course, I said I can't do it now, but that doesn't mean I can't do it in the future. When you convince your father and make him change his mind about me, or when you grow up and have more confidence, you can call me and I will come back immediately!"
Now, Shi Ming understood, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Ning Yan also let go of his mouth. Seeing him like this, he inexplicably felt that he was cute. He was exactly the same as Lan Ze when he first came to 735. He couldn't help but reach out and scratch his nose, smiling and said, "That's good. What are you going to say when you see your dad?"
Shi Ming thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer, so he shook his head slightly.
Ning Yan then taught him: "Say you miss him, you miss him so much that you can't eat or sleep well."
Shi Ming interrupted him: "Will my father believe it?"
"Of course he will! He will definitely believe it!"
After all, Gu Jiujing's IQ will only drop a little when he meets you. If you don't believe him, you are not a human being.
After a while of silence, Shi Ming stopped talking. He was probably thinking about his relationship with his future father and how to get along with his father in a friendly way and make him believe that Ning Yan was a good person.
He was very nice to me and not the bad human trafficker that my father thought he was.
Shi Ming was immersed in his own world and didn't notice the passage of time. When he came back to his senses, Ning Yan had already left the sofa.
Ning Yan's way of raising children is both attentive and not too attentive. This may be related to the fact that her husband was Yu Chengbai when she was raising Beibei. Yu Chengbai was too attentive, so he would be a little careless.
Seeing Shi Ming lowering his head to think about the rest of his life, his eyes were attracted by the piano in the center of the dance floor and he couldn't help but walk over.
Then, as expected, my hands started to itch.
"Actually, I've always had a dream, which is to become a musician." Ning Yan once sat on the rooftop terrace of 'Rose Rendezvous', accompanied by red wine and starlight, and confided his frustration to Yu Li, then a student. "But I never met a good teacher, and my talent was buried. From then on, the world lost a great musician."
At that time, Yu Li was still a teenager with a full wallet, so he generously invested in Ning Yan's dream.
Half a year later, in the piano room, he listened to a soul-stirring performance with a dull look in his eyes, and decided from then on not to spoil his brothers too much.
You can have dreams, but they should be kept in dreams.
In reality, this destructive power is really too strong.
Yu Li hired someone to steal the seven-figure piano he had given to Ning Yan overnight, and then sold it on the second-hand market for six figures, for fear that Ning Yan would come and kill him if he was too slow to sell it.
Ning Yan felt very guilty about losing the seven-figure piano given to him by his brother. Every time Yu Li asked him about it, he said that he didn't like to play it anymore and never mentioned the piano being stolen.
He was a man who had even stolen from the Northern Continent Royal Family, and now he was being stolen?
Ning Yan couldn't afford to lose face with this person.
Today, Yu Li was not at home, so he could play a song without restraint.
Beauties were everywhere, the lights were bright and the food was delicious. A handsome young man in a white suit, in the soft light, vividly demonstrated what it meant to have such good looks that they fell to the ground with a bang.
Every time he hit someone, their hair stood on end and they were terrified. No one could predict where his next note would come from.
It turns out that a piano worth tens of millions can be played so hard that it screams and its value plummets.
It turns out that not only singing and screaming can cause pitch to break, but also playing the piano can do the same.
When a song ends, everything is startled.
The lady closest to him dropped the wine glass in her hand to the ground, her hand still holding the glass in a stiff position.
Ning Yan finished the performance with an elegant gesture of satisfaction, but in the silence, there was no thunderous applause.
Shi Ming stood beside him, frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and said hesitantly: "How about you let me try?"
Ning Yan's face was full of surprise, as if he had met a kindred spirit: "You can do it too?"
He probably forgot what his brother did before he started acting.
"I don't know, I just felt that the song you just played was very familiar, as if I had played it in a dream."
"It's okay, try it."
Ning Yan stood up and led him to sit in front of the piano. He leaned to the side with his arms folded across his chest, looking at him with anticipation and curiosity.
Shi Ming looked at the strange yet familiar piano in front of him, hesitated, and placed his hands on it...
When the first sound came out, the crowd that seemed to be frozen just now suddenly came alive and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Ning Yan, who had been acting frivolously, also put away the playful smile on his face and showed surprise in his eyes.
When he saw his fingers jumping nimbly on the black and white piano keys, he felt as if he was hit by something on the spot. He looked at Shi Ming in front of him in a daze, and felt that his whole body was glowing.
The world became blurred in an instant, and Shi Ming became the only clear point in his eyes, sitting under the crystal chandelier in a long dress.
Sparkling and brilliant.
Vast and shocking.
Ning Yan stared at him blankly, and as he looked, he couldn't help but smile gently.
The smile was full of appreciation and pride.
When the piano stopped, thunderous applause broke out all around, flash lights flashed one after another, and there were a few exclamations from foreigners that Shi Ming could not understand.
Shi Ming went to see Ning Yan first. He looked expressionless, but his eyes held a little bit of childish, embarrassed expectation.
Ning Yan didn't praise him. When he looked at him, he raised his eyebrows and blew a loud and rude whistle at him.
Shi Ming's face, which was originally expressionless, turned red.
But after a while, he suddenly frowned. Ning Yan thought he was unhappy that she didn't praise him, so she immediately applauded and said, "Baby, you play really well! I'm proud of you!"
Shi Ming didn't say anything, staring behind him vigilantly.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally called out, "Dad."
"?"
Suddenly, a strong murderous intent burst out from behind him. Ning Yan opened his eyes wide and his hair stood on end.
Before he could turn around, Shi Ming stood up first.
He took three steps forward, pulled out the gun that Ning Yan had hidden in his clothes, raised his hand, pointed it directly at Gu Jiujing behind Ning Yan, and threatened: "Let him go."
He seemed calm, skilled, and ruthless.
He has learned 99% of Ning Yan's skill in killing people.
It would be better if his hand holding the gun didn't shake like a sieve.

PS:
Gu Jiujing, are you surprised? Are you surprised?!
It is understandable that Gu Jiujing wants to kill Ning Yan. After all, from his perspective, Ning Yan and Shi Ming are really about to get together.
Did we meet? Did we?! Come on, praise me! Smash me to death with your love! Hurry up! I'm ready! Don't show any pity to this delicate flower of mine!
