Chapter 251 The little rabbit is anxious!
Living Room.
Ning Xiangtian saw his daughter holding hands with Ye Fan, and his face instantly darkened. He coldly reminded her, "Xiao Xi, be mindful!"
"Ah?"
For a mont, Ning Xi didn't react. But when she saw where her father's gaze was directed, her face turned bright red, and she quickly withdrew her hand.
She had been so happy just now that she had completely forgotten about this.
This is bad!
Really bad!
"Um... Dad, it's not what you think, I..."
At this mont, Ning Xi hated herself for not practicing her speaking skills. Right now, she had no idea how to explain.
Ye Fan walked over to the sofa and sat down as if nothing had happened. He grinned and said, "Uncle, Xiao Xi told that you confiscated her phone?"
Ning Xiangtian narrowed his eyes, picked up his freshly brewed coffee, and took a sip. "And what if I did?"
"Good! You did the right thing!"
"..."
"..."
With just one sentence, both father and daughter were left utterly dumbfounded.
At first, when Ning Xi heard Ye Fan's words, she thought he was going to help her get her phone back. She was afraid he would argue with her father and quickly walked over. But she never expected that Ye Fan would...
This guy!
Ning Xiangtian's eyelids twitched wildly. He was both annoyed and helpless. This boy never played by the rules, making it impossible to predict his next move.
Ye Fan placed his hands on his legs and spoke seriously, "The college entrance exam is coming up. A phone will only distract Xiao Xi from her studies. I always thought she was using Auntie's phone. I had no idea she secretly had one of her own. If I had known, I would have reported her imdiately."
Ning Xi: "..."
She wasn't stupid.
She could clearly see that Ye Fan was trying to win her father over.
But why did he have to use her as a shield?
That was just too much!
Ning Xiangtian could tell Ye Fan was being deliberately cheeky, but he had no way to counter him. He could only let out a nonchalant hum in response.
Noticing the resentful gaze from the girl beside him, Ye Fan smiled and checked the ti on his phone. Then he said, "Uncle, we still have so ti. Xiao Xi and I will go to the study to do so revision. We won't disturb you."
Ning Xiangtian's mouth twitched, his gaze exuding an invisible pressure.
Ye Fan remained unfazed, his face full of smiles.
"Go on, but rember, there should be a clear distinction between boys and girls. I don't want to see what I saw earlier happen again. Otherwise, I will..."
"It definitely won't! I got it!"
Before her father could finish, Ning Xi quickly cut him off. She grabbed Ye Fan's sleeve and dragged him out of the living room, afraid that her father might say sothing excessive that would hurt Ye Fan's pride.
Boys and girls were different—she understood that very well.
She didn't mind taking a few scoldings herself, but Ye Fan was different. She didn't want to see them arguing endlessly over this. Just imagining that scene made her scalp tingle.
Watching their retreating figures, Ning Xiangtian looked helpless and muttered to himself, "Xiao Xi, you're not even married yet. If you do get married one day, are you going to stop recognizing as your father?"
His little cotton-padded jacket had completely betrayed him!
And it was all because of Ye Fan. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he beca!
"Hmph! If you think you can win my daughter over that easily, you've got another thing coming!"
...
Inside the study, the first thing Ning Xi did was shut the door before letting out a deep sigh of relief.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Fan chuckled and asked knowingly, "Xiao Xi, you seem really nervous?"
"You're still laughing?" Ning Xi patted her chest, and the movent made Ye Fan's eyes flicker slightly. He couldn't help but joke in a low voice, "Say whatever you want, but be gentle, okay?"
"Hm?"
Ning Xi didn't catch the aning behind his words at first, but when she noticed where Ye Fan was looking, her face turned red as a tomato. Gritting her teeth, she snapped, "Where are you looking?! Do you believe I—I'll bite you!"
"My bad."
Ye Fan raised his hands innocently and grinned. "I was just worried about you. You should be gentler with yourself, especially..."
"You dare say another word?!"
Ning Xi stomped her foot and glared at Ye Fan angrily.
Ye Fan wisely shut his mouth.
The little bunny was getting mad!
If he didn't stop now, he'd be the one to suffer.
"Hmph!"
Ning Xi reached out and pinched Ye Fan's waist hard before sitting down at the desk by herself. Her expression was unbearably adorable.
Ye Fan pulled out a chair and sat opposite her. He opened a drawer, took out so paper and a pen, and changed the subject, "Xiao Xi, don't be mad. Since we still have ti this morning, let give you a writing prompt. Try writing an essay."
"I'm not writing!"
Ning Xi crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back. Her black dress slightly stretched, accentuating her breathtaking curves.
Ye Fan only glanced for a second before quickly looking away.
No way, this girl was becoming more and more alluring!
Ye Fan had little resistance to Ning Xi as it was, but she was completely unaware of her own beauty. The way she inadvertently exuded charm was too much for him to handle.
He cleared his throat.
"Co on, be good. Write sothing, and I'll buy you candy."
Would Ning Xi fall for such a childish trick?
The answer was... yes.
She pouted and shot Ye Fan a glare. "What kind of candy?"
"Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."
"You said it! No take-backs!"
"Of course."
Their conversation sounded like an old fox cunningly tricking an innocent little bunny, which was strangely amusing.
"Fine, I forgive you."
Ning Xi picked up the paper and pen. Her soft voice was filled with compromise. "What's the topic?"
"Give a minute to think."
Ye Fan rested his chin on his hand and furrowed his brows slightly. When he glanced out the window, inspiration struck.
"Write about sumr."
"Sumr?"
Hearing the prompt, Ning Xi frowned deeply, her gaze lowering as she froze in place.
Ye Fan didn't disturb her.
The hardest part was always the beginning.
A good essay's opening was even harder to craft. Besides, the writing technique he was teaching Ning Xi required a strong entry point.
Seeing her deep in thought, he got up and walked over to the bookshelf, scanning through the titles.
After nearly two months, he had already read most of the valuable books there. After a quick search, he could only pick up a few finance-related magazines.
The experience points from finishing these weren't much, but they were better than nothing. At least it was better than doing nothing.
Ye Fan read quickly—so fast that it was almost absurd. With just one glance, he could grasp the entire contents of a page.
Ti passed, and the quiet atmosphere of the study was finally broken by the sound of the door opening.
Lan Xi stood at the doorway and called out, "Both of you, stop for a mont. Co eat."
Without looking up, Ning Xi replied, her bright eyes filled with focus, "Just a minute, I'm almost done."
