At night, Lin Fan returned to the Ning Mansion.
Just the thought of sharing a bed with the beautiful Ning ngyao that night,
filled him with a mix of happiness and pain that truly left him at a loss.
But unexpectedly, just as he got out of the car, he actually ran into Ning ngyao, who had parked her car.
"You’re only getting back now!"
They asked in unison, then fell silent as they looked at each other.
Certainly, when it ca to living under the sa roof, they shared similar feelings.
"There was a bit of an issue at the company, so I ca back late... Do you always take a cab when you go out? There are still several cars in the garage; you could have just taken a look and used one. If you find them not to your liking, let know what you like, and I’ll get it for you,"
Ning ngyao awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ear.
She had deliberately stayed at the company longer, yet she still ran into him.
"No need, taking a cab is quite convenient."
Lin Fan obviously knew there were cars in the garage.
But Yang Linglong was familiar with every single one.
If he took one out and she saw him, wouldn’t he give himself away?
"Well... let’s go ho then."
Ning ngyao nodded, and they walked side by side through the gate.
Faced with the impending awkward situation, neither knew what to say.
Last night, with alcohol in their systems, they had simply gone to sleep.
Tonight, so sober, it was genuinely embarrassing.
"You’re back."
As they walked into the front yard, Ning Zhenyue’s voice ca from the pavilion to the side.
Seated in the pavilion and savoring his tea, he was looking at the chessboard on the stone table.
"Grandpa, it’s so late; why aren’t you sleeping?"
Ning ngyao hurried over.
Her grandpa, who usually went to bed and woke up early, had an abnormal routine lately.
"I can’t sleep with things on my mind."
Ning Zhenyue pushed the black and white pieces over on the chessboard in his hand.
Then turning to Ning ngyao, he said, "I just received news, Ning Changfeng has returned to Jiangning, and this guy has already declared that he wants to take back the Ning Group!"
"In his dreams!"
Hearing that na, Ning ngyao’s face darkened instantly.
If it weren’t for his irresponsible actions, her father would not have died a tragic death.
"ngyao, I know you’re upset, but you should know this scumbag always mixes with unsavory characters. I’ve heard this ti he’s co back and has close contact with Sun Ba’s people. I’m afraid he’ll make so covert moves."
Ning Zhenyue sighed.
"Wasn’t Sun Ba already taken out by his godson? How could there still be his people?"
Lin Fan, who had been silent, asked in confusion.
Sun Ba was soone he had personally taken care of.
"Sun Ba may be dead, but the Green Dragon Alliance is still around. I’ve heard it’s now managed by his goddaughter, Phoenix, who is even more calculating than Sun Ba. That’s why I’m worried she might try to harm you,"
Ning Zhenyue spoke, while taking a business card out of his pocket.
"We are respectable people, and we’ve never been involved with the underworld. So, I’ve found a diator to help us resolve things. As long as we get rid of the threat from the Green Dragon Alliance, Ning Changfeng will definitely not be able to stir up any trouble. Go see him first thing tomorrow; he will negotiate with Phoenix, and at worst, it’ll just cost us so money to avoid disaster."
"Grandpa, we can’t condone this sort of behavior. If Phoenix dares to lay a finger on ngyao, I’ll turn her into a plucked hen!"
Lin Fan snorted disdainfully.
"Lin Fan, this isn’t a battlefield; it’s a city. re fighting and killing won’t solve problems forever. Although I used to despise the underworld, if we want to live a peaceful life, we must accept so unacceptable things. That’s settled then; tomorrow you accompany ngyao on this task. We’re ordinary citizens, and living a peaceful life is what matters most,"
Ning Zhenyue sighed.
He was no longer the young man who used to dare to take risks.
"Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Lin Fan, grandpa is not in a good mood, keep him company with a ga of chess,"
Ning ngyao stopped Lin Fan, who was about to speak again.
Picking up the business card, she put it in her bag.
"Sure, no problem,"
Since they had made their decision, Lin Fan did not say anything more.
He simply sat down at the table opposite and reached out to pick up the chess pieces.
"Lin Fan, do you think Grandpa has beco a coward now that he’s gotten old?"
Ning Zhenyue, of course, wouldn’t refuse the offer, and the two of them chatted while playing chess.
"How could that be?"
Lin Fan hurriedly denied it.
"I must admit, years have not only added wrinkles to my face but have also completely worn down my edges. Now, I just want to enjoy a peaceful old age. I can’t endure the pain of an old man sending off a young one again. These years, ng Yao might seem glamorous, but I know she’s been suffering inside, especially after the death of her father. She’s bravely focused all her energy on her work."
Ning Zhenyue took out a check and handed it to Lin Fan.
"Grandpa might not have many years left, and after I’m gone, you’ll have to take good care of ng Yao. Here’s a check for ten million. If the day cos that the Group can’t be protected, take her and flee far away. This money will be enough for you two to live a prosperous life in a small city."
"Grandpa, please keep your money for your great-grandchildren’s New Year’s money. I promise you, in this lifeti no one will be able to harm ng Yao, not anyone."
Without a second thought, Lin Fan pushed the check back.
"Son-in-law, just what unit were you serving in?"
Ning Zhenyue couldn’t contain his curiosity.
Who could be indifferent to ten million?
Lin Fan, however, did not hesitate
This was definitely not the behavior of an ordinary man.
"Grandpa, that’s a military secret. Let’s just play chess."
Lin Fan said with a smile as he made his move.
But unexpectedly, Ning Zhenyue pushed the chessboard aside.
"What ti is it already, still playing chess? Hurry back to your room and take care of business. I’m waiting to hold a great-grandchild!"
Lin Fan, almost chased back to the courtyard, opened the door of his room with a helpless expression.
The fragrance that hit him was truly intoxicating.
Especially now that Ning ngyao had already taken her bath.
Wearing a bathrobe, her figure was graceful.
"How did you finish playing so quickly?"
Ning ngyao, still drying her hair, asked in confusion.
"Grandpa told to hurry back and take care of business. The ga is off."
Lin Fan shrugged helplessly.
"What business?"
Ning ngyao didn’t understand at first.
"Having children!"
Lin Fan’s reply made Ning ngyao’s face instantly turn red as an apple.
Embarrassed, she hated herself for asking.
"Tonight you sleep in the bed, I’ll sleep on the floor."
She hurriedly spread out a prepared yoga mat on the floor.
This was the best solution she could think of.
"How can we do that, the floor is so hard, I should sleep there instead."
Lin Fan naturally wouldn’t agree.
"Don’t play the macho card with ; we are equals. I don’t need to be seen as weak by you. Goodnight!"
But Ning ngyao, stubborn as ever, just took the blanket and lay down.
Her attitude suddenly reminded Lin Fan of sothing Ning Zhenyue had said.
Her so-called strength was just her shield.
"Alright then, I’ll respectfully comply."
Lin Fan could not say much more.
After turning off the lights, he lay directly on the bed.
The dark night was extrely quiet.
"Do you think that person can really negotiate successfully with the Phoenix tomorrow?"
But Ning ngyao, tossing and turning, couldn’t sleep.
Having never dealt with the underworld, she was anxious and uneasy.
"You shouldn’t be anxious about this. If the negotiation fails, so people will be very sad!"
Lin Fan said with a mysterious smile.
Now, it was the Phoenix who should be praying for rcy from the heavens, not to anger him.
