Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering

Chapter 778: Don’t Owe Each Other Anything

Hearing Elder Dong’s words, Nan Zhi’s brain froze for a second.

She felt as if something was thrown at her heart, making her slightly excited and uneasy at the same time.

Was there something wrong with her hearing?

Her mouth opened, then closed, then opened and closed once more. She was trembling slightly, her face flushed red.

Elder Dong knew what she was thinking, so he nodded. “That’s right, you didn’t hear wrongly.”

Nan Zhi’s long and dense lashes fluttered intensely.

She cupped her face with her hands, looking at a lost like a child that had just gotten her candy.

“Teacher Dong, I’m sorry, please excuse me for a while.”

Nan Zhi turned around and ran out of the house.

She squatted, emotional tears swarming from her eyes.

It was true that she had been disappointed because she thought she would not be able to get Elder Dong to accept her request.

It had been so hard. She was scared that Mu Sihan’s condition would continue to worsen, and no one would be able to treat him anymore...

Just when she was at her most disappointed and lowest point, things suddenly turned for the better!

The night breeze danced in the courtyard.

The fragrance of flowers filled the place.

One could vaguely hear the soft sobbing of a young woman.

When Xia Yanran arrived at Elder Dong’s house, she saw Nan Zhi squatting by the corner, her shoulders trembling.

Xia Yanran felt really bad for Nan Zhi.

She could already guess why Nan Zhi was crying.

It was probably because she did not find the ring and Elder Dong did not agree to treating Mu Sihan, so Nan Zhi felt really sad.

Seeing Nan Zhi cry made Xia Yanran extremely sad as well.

She walked in front of Nan Zhi, wrapping her arms around her shoulder as she said with a slightly choked voice, “Zhizhi, it’s okay. I don’t believe that only Elder Dong is able to help Young Master Mu in this world. There might be other psychiatrist that can help him, don’t cry!”

Xia Yanran knew very clearly about how Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan met in Ning City, how they fell in love and how they got together.

It had not been easy for the two of them to get together, and now that they made it to today, if Mu Sihan’s psychological condition could not be treated, then what would happen to Zhizhi and him?

Nan Zhi looked up at Xia Yanran, sniffling as she said with a shaky voice, “Yanran, it’s not what you think... I’m not sad, I’m happy.”

Xia Yanran stared at Nan Zhi in confusion.

Happy?

“Perhaps you know where the ring is?”

Nan Zhi shook her head, grabbing Xia Yanran’s arms. With red eyes, she said, “I didn’t find the ring, but Elder Dong agreed to go to the Capital with me.”

Xia Yanran froze for a second, before she exclaimed. Her eyes widened as a smile appeared on her face. “Really?”

“Yes!”

Xia Yanran hugged Nan Zhi tightly, the tears swarming in her eyes falling almost immediately.

“That’s great. Zhizhi, your efforts have touched Elder Dong, you’re the best!”

Xia Yanran blinked, her tears flowing continuously.

Before she could calm herself down, she looked up and saw a tall figure that had unknowingly appeared in the courtyard.

Xia Yanran froze for a second.

It was Xiao Yi.

He was very tall, and under the streetlight, it cast a large shadow of him across the ground.

The night breeze was slightly chilly. He was wearing a leather jacket, his figure standing tall and straight. His features under his short hair was well-defined, coldness and dangerousness exuding from his handsome expression while every silhouette line of his facial features emphasized his handsomeness.

If one only looked at his appearance, they would never know that he was in the mafia.

Thinking about her call to him earlier, Xia Yanran’s eyes darkened a little.

She kept her expression indifferent, not wanting to show her emotions. She let go of Nan Zhi, wiping her tears with a smile. “It’s a happy thing for Elder Dong to agree to your request, let’s stop crying!”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Okay, now that I’m able to get Elder Dong to accept my request, Yanran, I have to thank you as well.”

Yanran had accompanied, encouraged and took care of her for the last few days. She given got her colleagues to help her find the ring today.

It was her honor to have such a good best friend.

Thinking that Nan Zhi should have calmed down by now, Elder Dong walked out of his house.

“Alright, let’s all go in, the food is turning cold.” With that said, Elder Dong immediately stepped forward when he saw the dark figure by the entrance. “Xiao Yi, you’re here? Come in, come in. Let’s eat together.”

Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi had entered the house first, and they heard Elder Dong’s voice rang in the courtyard. “You’re blessed tonight, that girl’s cooking is really delicious.”

When they were walking to the dining room, Nan Zhi glanced at Xia Yanran, asking her softly, “Yanran, Xiao Yi is here. If you mind, we can leave first.”

Xia Yanran shook her head. “I’ve met him two times coincidentally in these few days as well, so I have nothing to hide from him.”

The more she hid away from him, the more she did not want to meet him, the more it meant that she still could not forget him.

She should face it openly!

Even if it was awkward to meet him, it was also because he had done an animalistic thing to her. He should be the one who was embarrassed to see her instead.

After Elder Dong pulled Xiao Yi in, he introduced the three youngsters to each other.

Actually, on the first day Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi had come over and bumped into Xiao Yi, Elder Dong could already tell that they knew each other.

However, since they were acting like they did not know each other, Elder Dong did not point it out either.

The truth was that Xiao Yi had come to help Xia Yanran.

Although she did not call him, he was indeed too rash when it came to what happened last night!

After everyone was seated, Elder Dong turned towards Xiao Yi. “Is there a reason why you came over tonight?”

Xia Yanran had heard Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi’s conversation in the courtyard earlier, and knew that Elder Dong had already agreed to Nan Zhi’s request.

“It’s nothing. I came to visit you and to ask about how to humor a woman at the same time.”

Xia Yanran, who was sitting opposite of Xiao Yi, tightened her hold on her chopsticks.

She looked down, not glancing at Xiao Yi at all.

However, her heart palpitated because of his words.

Was he talking about Qin Peipei?

...

Elder Dong and Xiao Yi were the ones who spoke as they ate, while Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi listened to their conversation quietly.

After they were done, Xia Yanran and Nan Zhi entered the kitchen to clean up.

Xia Yanran carried a bag of rubbish as she walked out onto the courtyard.

Xiao Yi, who she originally thought had left, was standing outside.

He was leaning against one of the walls, smoking as the bright red fire lit up his handsome but dangerous expression.

As he exhaled a mouthful of smoke, his fingers pinched his temple, as if he was slightly exhausted.

After Xia Yanran threw out the rubbish, and was about to return to the house.

“Yanran,” The man called her.

Xia Yanran remained silent for a few seconds, before she turned around to look at him. However, he was not looking at her. He was looking slightly up instead, the smoke stinging her eyes.

After staring at him quietly for a while, she spoke to break the silence. “Yes?”

“Leave Hong Kong and never appear in front of me again.”

Xia Yanran had braced herself beforehand, knowing that he would not say something nice. However, after hearing his words, her heart still ached terribly.

She closed her eyes, replying simply, “Alright.”

A person like him, no matter if he was good or bad, would always be extreme.

To be honest, she was tired as well.

At the thought of last night, however, she walked forward, lifting her hand to slap him ruthlessly.

He had the chance to stop her, but he did not.

“Let’s not owe each other anything anymore. And never meet again.”
