Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Xiao Ning Tests the dicine_1
The Audi A7, half an hour later, ca to a steady stop underneath the Xinghai dia building.
Xu Fan carrying Tongtong was just like returning to his own ho, while Ben Ben silently followed behind, a vigilant gleam flashing in his eyes.
The security guards at the door straightened up imdiately upon seeing Xu Fan arrive, and when they saw him smiling and greeting them, they were both flattered and surprised.
They were well aware of Xu Fan’s identity now; he was the chairman’s husband, and the little girl was the chairman’s daughter.
Xu Fan greeted the company’s employees along the way. Having spent so ti here, he had gotten to know quite a few people, especially since Tongtong was much loved by everyone. People were very kind to Tongtong, even warming up to Ben Ben, and would even feed Ben Ben left-over at and bones.
Although Ben Ben was no longer the dog he once was, he wasn’t so pampered that he would reject such offerings. Rembering his past as a stray dog scrabbling in trash cans for food, he cherished his current life all the more, so how could he not be content with at to eat?
Tongtong’s sweet nature shined as she actively and smilingly called out ‘brother’, ‘sister’, ‘auntie’, and ‘uncle’, attracting eyes filled with envy and affection.
They went straight to the chairman’s office on the top floor but didn’t see Xu Yixue, nor any other people around.
Xu Fan then made a phone call to her.
After only a few rings, Xu Yixue’s sowhat soft and gentle voice ca through, “Hello, are you looking for ?”
Xu Fan felt his ears burning up, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerating, and his mind even quickly passed through so romantic thoughts.
Xu Fan hurriedly shook his head, gathered his composure, and berated himself for his lack of control, for being so easily affected, completely lacking the deanor of the dignified Immortal Emperor.
“Yes, I’m looking for you, where are you?”
“Oh, why don’t you wait in the office? I’m at the studio supervising the opening of a micro-film,” Xu Yixue said.
The noise in the background was a little loud and chaotic, suggesting she was busy and might not be able to leave for a while.
“What are you shooting?” Xu Fan casually asked.
“You still have the nerve to ask ? Don’t you know what you’ve done? Although the situation has been suppressed, there’ll still be so secret spread of opinions and statents, so we had to make a micro-film to cover up that incident.”
“I see, understood, you’ve worked hard,” Xu Fan said. “But, put that aside for now, I have sothing more important to discuss with you. Can you co back to the office right now?”
“Mommy, Tongtong misses you,” Tongtong then giggled into the phone.
Xu Yixue chuckled knowingly, replying, “Tongtong, my sweet, mommy will co to see you soon.”
“Right, also call Shi Yu and Xiao Ning,” Xu Fan added.
“Alright.”
After ending the conversation, Xu Fan sat down to wait.
A few minutes later, the sound of high heels tapping grew closer and closer.
Tongtong’s eyes darted about, and she quietly ran behind the door, stood flush against the wall, and “shushed” Xu Fan with a finger to her lips, signaling him to stay silent.
Seeing her mischievous deanor, Xu Fan couldn’t help but laugh and nodded in agreent.
The office door was ajar, and when Xu Yixue gently pushed it open and walked in, Chen Shiyu and Ye Xiaoning closely followed.
“Xu Fan, what’s the important matter?” Xu Yixue walked towards Xu Fan and started asking, then her eyebrows slightly furrowed—where was Tongtong? She was nowhere to be seen.
It was well known that whenever Xu Fan was free, Tongtong would undoubtedly be near him; their attachnt to each other was very strong.
But now, Tongtong was not visible.
“Mommy, I’m here!”
Suddenly, a childlike yet clear voice ca from behind her, and then the owner of the voice grasped her legs tightly.
Xu Yixue turned around, looked down, and saw Tongtong with a joyfully cute smile, her large eyes twinkling.
In a flash, Xu Yixue felt all her exhaustion vanish without a trace. A bright smile appeared on her face as she leaned down and gently picked up the little guy, affectionately kissing Tongtong on the forehead, “Tongtong, did you miss Mommy?”
“Of course, I missed Mommy.” Tongtong said with a smile as he gently cupped Xu Yixue’s cheeks with his little hands.
“Did you miss too?” Ye Xiaoning asked with a smile as she leaned in closer, tickling Tongtong’s armpit.
“Ticklish, Auntie Xiao Ning, stop it, Tongtong is so ticklish.” Tongtong wriggled his body, begging for rcy.
“Say you missed , and Auntie will stop.”
“Um…”
Tongtong couldn’t help but show a conflicted expression.
He actually didn’t, but it was so ticklish.
Yet a child shouldn’t lie.
But if he told the truth, Auntie Xiao Ning would be heartbroken and might not like Tongtong anymore.
Why was this choice so difficult? I didn’t know what to do.
Ye Xiaoning, of course, understood his thoughts, shook her head, and pretended to be angry, “Tongtong, Auntie treats you so well, don’t you miss at all?”
Chen Shiyu watched the scene with amusent, finding it too interesting.
“Xiao Ning, stop ssing around. Let’s talk about serious matters,” Xu Yixue suggested, her mind on work and not wanting to waste ti, as she sat down next to Xu Fan, holding Tongtong.
Xu Fan picked up a jar of beauty cream from the coffee table, swung it towards the three won, and said, “This is a dicinal ointnt I crafted, specifically for skincare. Here, take a look.”
As the lid was unscrewed, suddenly a refreshing fragrance filled the air.
“Wow, it slls so good? Are you sure it’s a beauty cream and not perfu?” Xu Yixue asked in disbelief.
“It’s definitely beauty cream,” Xu Fan confird, then glanced at the three ladies before his gaze finally rested on Ye Xiaoning’s face.
“Brother-in-law, what’s with that look?” Ye Xiaoning felt that gaze was sowhat weird, making her scalp tingle.
“This stuff can remove dark spots, acne, scars, etc. Xiao Ning, don’t you want to give it a try?” Xu Fan said, looking at the marks on her face with so eagerness to test the cream.
Ye Xiaoning hastily stepped back, looking at the jar fearfully, “Brother-in-law, please, I don’t want to be a guinea pig. What if it causes death or ruins my face? How will we deal with that?”
Xu Fan laughed heartily, “There’s no way around it. Your face is injured, which makes it perfect for seeing the effects of the ointnt.”
Xu Yixue and Chen Shiyu chuckled gleefully to one side, as both of their faces were flawless and radiantly smooth.
Since Tongtong is so young, his skin is naturally extrely soft and fair, even pinchable for water.
Xu Fan’s face was also very clean, thanks to his cultivation level and having taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Whether it was impurities and toxins inside his body or dirt and dust on his skin, they were all brushed away, leaving his skin even better than Xu Yixue’s and Chen Shiyu’s.
As for Ye Xiaoning, not only had she been harshly slapped on the face, causing so swelling, but there were also two small pimples at the corner of her eyebrows. Although they were concealed with makeup, they could not escape Xu Fan’s eyes.
“Brother-in-law, considering I voted with both hands for you and Xue to be a couple, can you be honest with ? How confident are you?” Ye Xiaoning asked with a mournful expression.
As soon as she said this, Xu Yixue’s face instantly blushed, and she promptly bowed her head.
“Xue, you can’t just lower your head and pretend you didn’t hear anything. If sothing goes wrong with the trial, will the company reimburse for dical expenses and give injury leave?”
Xu Yixue said softly, “Xiao Ning, you have to trust Xu Fan, he wouldn’t ss around.”
In Xu Yixue’s heart, Xu Fan was the most trustworthy person in the world.
“Ah, fine, I guess I’ve fallen into a den of thieves and have to resign myself to fate…”
Ye Xiaoning lanted pretentiously, her face full of reluctance as she took the small jar, poured a bit into her hand and headed towards the corner’s vanity mirror. Applying the cream gently, she began to smooth it over her face in front of the mirror.
