Chapter 260 Ning Xi's Proposal
Ye Fan did not ntion what had just happened. Conquering superconductivity was sothing he did not plan to tell Ning Xi about until he succeeded.
Ning Xi snorted, pouting her red lips and glaring fiercely at Ye Fan before turning her head away. Suddenly, as if sothing had co to her mind, a sweet smile climbed onto her cheeks.
Ye Fan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her, and in his eyes, thousands of stars shimred.
And within that galaxy, a beautiful silhouette was hidden, carried by the direction of his heart.
So people, just eting them is already a wonderful thing—like Ning Xi.
Spending a lifeti with Ning Xi was Ye Fan's lifelong dream.
A blessing across three lifetis—to et, to love, to grow old together.
And Ye Fan was constantly working toward this goal, always striving to cherish this girl, an effort that would never fade.
"What kind of sneaky idea did you co up with?"
"I did not!"
Ning Xi wrinkled her delicate nose, wrapped her hands around Ye Fan's right hand, and called out sweetly, "Brother, can you promise sothing?"
That single "Brother" lted Ye Fan to the core. Adding to that, the astonishing sensation coming from his arm made him reveal a stiff smile. "Xiao Xi, we can talk, but can you let go of first? Can't you have a little awareness about your own figure?"
Ning Xi froze for a mont, looked down, and imdiately let out a light huff before hurriedly letting go of Ye Fan. "Hmph, bad guy!"
Ye Fan: "..."
How could she fra him like this?
Out of kindness, he reminded her, and sohow he beca the bad guy?
If he were really a bad guy, he would definitely...
"What is it exactly?"
"Well..."
Ning Xi blushed, stole a quick glance at Ye Fan, then imdiately lowered her head again, stamring, "This afternoon... can you take to eat hot pot?"
"Hot pot?"
Ye Fan looked completely surprised. He stared at Ning Xi's round little head, then couldn't help but cup it in his hands, laughing, "Xiao Xi, how did you suddenly want to eat hot pot? And besides, it's sumr right now—are you sure you want hot pot?"
"Yes, I'm sure!"
Ning Xi wanted to nod, but unfortunately, her head was firmly held in Ye Fan's hands, so she cleverly blinked her eyes quickly instead.
Ye Fan held the girl's chin with his left hand, looking at the little kitten in front of him. His right hand couldn't help but tap her delicate nose as he asked, "Can you tell the reason?"
"Reason?"
Ning Xi's eyes twinkled as they darted around before she whispered, "I've never had hot pot before. Does that count as a reason?"
"Huh?"
Ye Fan looked utterly shocked. "You've never had it since you were little?"
"No."
Ning Xi pouted and looked aggrieved. "Actually, it's not just hot pot. There are so many things I've never eaten before. But Mom never let eat them, saying they were bad for my skin. She only ever let eat steak and seafood..."
"No problem."
Without hesitation, Ye Fan agreed readily. "Write two essays in the morning, and I'll take you to eat hot pot in the afternoon. Deal?"
"Okay!"
Ning Xi broke into a joyful smile.
A girl's happiness is just that simple.
Having reached an agreent, Ning Xi showed unprecedented motivation, her attitude extrely serious.
When lunchti arrived.
Lan Xi saw that her daughter hadn't touched her chopsticks and asked, "Xiao Xi, why aren't you eating?"
"I... don't feel like eating. You all go ahead."
Feeling a bit guilty, Ning Xi threw down those words, got up, and left the dining room, leaving Lan Xi and Ning Xiangtian utterly confused.
Ye Fan, however, knew exactly what was going on. He understood that the girl was saving room for the hot pot later, and he secretly found it amusing. But on the surface, he showed no signs of it and instead took the initiative to say, "Uncle, Sister Lan, I'd like to take Xiao Xi out for a bit this afternoon. She's been too tense lately, and I want to help her relax."
Ning Xiangtian, who was in the middle of cutting his steak, paused. "Where to?"
"Just walking around."
Ye Fan gave an ambiguous answer.
Hearing this, Ning Xiangtian's expression turned displeased, and he said sternly, "If there's nothing important, just stay ho properly. The outside world is so chaotic—better to avoid any unnecessary trouble."
Ye Fan quickly responded, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll protect Xiao Xi."
"You..."
Ning Xiangtian was about to say sothing when he suddenly felt a sharp pain at his waist. Unhappy, he turned to his wife. "Why did you pinch ?"
"Did I pinch you?"
Lan Xi raised an eyebrow, her tone and expression filled with unmistakable threat.
Ning Xiangtian: "..."
"No, you didn't."
Lan Xi suppressed her laughter and turned her gaze toward Ye Fan, reminding him, "It's good to take Xiao Xi out for a bit. Just don't let her eat anything random. That girl has a weak constitution—if she eats anything unhygienic, she'll end up with an upset stomach."
Now, Ye Fan found himself in a dilemma.
He suddenly recalled that in his previous life, Ning Xi always brought a lunchbox to work and never ordered takeout. Even during company gatherings, she never really ate anything—she would just sit quietly and listen to others chat.
So this was the reason!
But... he had already promised to take Ning Xi to eat hot pot. If he went back on his word now, the girl would surely be very disappointed. But if she ended up with an upset stomach...
"Xiao Fan, what are you thinking about so deeply?"
Lan Xi's voice pulled Ye Fan back to reality. He shook his head and said, "N-nothing. Sister Lan, don't worry. I won't let Xiao Xi eat anything random."
Lan Xi smiled and said nothing more.
After lunch, Ye Fan returned to the study but didn't see Ning Xi there. So he went upstairs to her room, knocked on the door, and called out, "Xiao Xi, are you inside?"
"Yes, yes! Wait a mont, I'm... changing clothes."
Ning Xi's voice ca from inside the room, full of shyness, making Ye Fan shake his head and smile.
This girl... she was shy even with a door between them.
About two or three minutes later, the bedroom door finally opened.
Ning Xi was dressed in a pink Liuxian dress, the exquisite design perfectly accentuating her graceful figure. Her delicate collarbones were exposed to the air, and her waist-length hair was slightly ssy, clearly showing that she had rushed to open the door right after getting dressed.
Ye Fan pointed at the doorway. "Can I co in?"
A girl's private room shouldn't be entered without permission.
"Y-yes."
Ning Xi's cheeks flushed as she stepped aside to let Ye Fan in.
Once inside, Ye Fan walked to the computer desk, sat down, and with a questioning look, pointed at the stool in front of the dressing table. "Xiao Xi, bring that stool over and sit down. I need to ask you sothing."
"Oh."
Ning Xi obediently went to move the stool.
Only then did Ye Fan notice that she was barefoot, her delicate little feet making light tapping sounds against the floor.
"What is it?"
"Sister Lan just told not to let you eat anything random."
Ning Xi's face imdiately fell, her brows furrowing deeply as she muttered softly, "If you don't say anything, and I don't say anything, she won't know..."
