Chapter 336 Confirming the Relationship
At the entrance of the Weiqi room.
Gu Ziyi, who had originally wanted to come invite Ning Xi and Ye Fan to eat, froze outside the door. Looking at the scene inside, she actually couldn't bear to disturb the two. She paced back and forth at the entrance for nearly half a minute, finally turning around and leaving.
Youth flies freely, affections endure endlessly.
So good...
Ning Xi silently took out her phone and glanced at the time, her red lips pouted high, the curve completely capable of hanging an oil bottle. Her small hand tapped on the tabletop, her soft and sweet voice displaying dissatisfaction, "Gege, ten minutes have already passed, if you can't write it out, don't force yourself!"
Finished speaking, she crossed her arms and turned her back.
Ye Fan returned to his senses, smiled calmly, placed both hands on the girl's fragrant shoulders, turned her around, looked at the face before him, and slowly said: "Xiao Xi, can you give me a chance to explain?"
Ning Xi's fragrant cheeks puffed up, deliberately avoiding looking at Ye Fan, "If you want to explain, then explain, what does it have to do with me!"
Ye Fan's eyes were full of amusement, he couldn't help but cup Ning Xi's small face, saying seriously: "When I picked up the pen preparing to write, I always couldn't help but get distracted. Sorry, although I didn't write it out, I was thinking about you just now."
"I've always had this habit, every time I calm down, I always can't help but think of you, even if you're right beside me, my mind is still full of you. I don't know if you can understand this feeling, anyway, it's just very wonderful."
"Damn it!"
Ning Xi, with her small face completely red, lightly patted Ye Fan once, reproaching: "Clearly I was questioning you, why are you turning around and flirting with me? It's too much!"
Ye Fan's ink-black eyes shone with light, saying: "Not flirting, everything I said just now was from the heart."
He released Ning Xi, raised his right hand, "The rest of our lives are still very long, Xiao Xi, are you willing to walk this journey with me?"
"I..."
Ning Xi stared blankly, the cherry-red on her cheeks growing even richer. Stunned for several seconds, she took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and placed her hand into Ye Fan's palm, saying inaudibly low: "Can... try, but you can't bully me, you have to be good to me, I... will also be good to you..."
By the end, it was already silent.
Ye Fan smiled, smiling so happily; this was the first time he had smiled so freely since his rebirth.
He opened his arms, gently embraced the petite girl before him into his arms, buried his head in the girl's fragrant neck, "Girlfriend Xiao Xi, please advise me well."
The slight ticklish feeling on her neck made Ning Xi involuntarily shrink her shoulders. She tried hard to lift her pretty face, although there was shyness in her starry eyes, there was even more determination.
"Gege, please advise me well."
...
In the living room.
Lan Xi and Ning Xiangtian sat on the sofa chatting idly; the content of the chat was nothing more than which direction Ning Xi should develop towards in the future.
Ning Xiangtian insisted on letting Ning Xi study Weiqi, whereas Lan Xi, conversely, suddenly changed her tune, wanting her daughter to make her own choice.
However, the two didn't argue, their discussion was quite calm and peaceful.
"Wife, let's talk about this matter another day."
Ning Xiangtian proactively ended the topic, raised his wrist to check the time, his brows furrowed, "Why aren't Xiao Xi and Ye Fan back yet? Didn't the study at the dojo end at four in the afternoon?"
Lan Xi, however, showed no worry at all, waved her hand, "Just stop worrying about young people's affairs. Who stipulated that they must come home immediately after finishing Weiqi studies? Husband, Xiao Xi is no longer a child, when it's time to let go, you must also let go!"
"Let go?"
Hearing these words, Ning Xiangtian showed displeasure on his face, saying: "As long as I'm not dead, I can never let go. I am her dad, she is my daughter!"
"Is that what I meant?"
Lan Xi supported her forehead, helplessly said: "In a while, Xiao Xi will be having her eighteenth birthday, she is already a young lady now, with her own independent thoughts; besides, that kid Fan has a steady personality, acts with propriety; just let the two slowly get along."
Ning Xiangtian's expression revealed a hint of resentment, extremely dissatisfied, said: "According to my plan, Xiao Xi absolutely cannot date before graduating from university, but wife, you insist on opposing me. So what if she's eighteen? Isn't she still just a little girl!"
"Mhm, just opposing you."
Lan Xi raised her eyebrows, with a half-smile, said: "What? How does Big Boss Ning plan to deal with me?"
Ning Xiangtian: "..."
Fine.
In this life, he was thoroughly held in his wife's grasp, unable to make even the slightest splash.
Ning Xiangtian put his large arm around his wife, saying with a troubled face: "Wife, just stop making fun of me, okay? How would I dare deal with you, wouldn't that be insubordination!"
"What are you talking about?"
Lan Xi rolled her eyes at her husband, said softly: "People who don't know might think I'm bullying you somehow. Speaking of which, over so many years, have I not been good to you? Outside, I don't even dare reveal my identity, only at home... no, only in front of you do I act imposing."
"I raised Xiao Xi single-handedly, during which you did absolutely nothing. After you get off work every day, I have to cook and wash clothes for you. When you encounter troubles at work, I still have to try to console you, and also..."
Speaking to this point, Lan Xi's face rarely turned red, she said inaudibly low: "And in that aspect, didn't I try my best to satisfy you, isn't what I've done good enough?"
"Ahem——"
Seeing his wife's face full of frustration, Ning Xiangtian quickly started coaxing her, his face wreathed in smiles: "Wife, I was just joking with you, how could you take it seriously?"
Just then, Ye Fan and Ning Xi walked into the living room side by side.
Lan Xi swatted away the large hand on her waist, rolled her eyes dissatisfiedly, turned her head and smiled, her gaze paused on their intertwined hands, her expression instantly becoming peculiar.
Ning Xiangtian also noticed this point, the smile on his face instantly vanished, reminded coldly: "Xiao Xi, what did I tell you last time, have you forgotten?"
Ning Xi blinked her eyes blankly, followed her parents' gaze downwards, only then remembering she was still holding hands with Ye Fan. Her face burned fiercely hot, she cast a pleading look towards Ye Fan, her red lips moved slightly, "Gege, about confirming the relationship, can we... not mention it for now?"
"Scared?"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
Ning Xi was indeed a little scared, but a competitive spirit arose out of nowhere in her heart, she stubbornly said: "I-I'm not scared at all."
Ye Fan's thin lips curved, he said in a low voice: "I don't believe you, unless you tell your parents right now that I'm your boyfriend."
"You..."
Ning Xi wasn't stupid either, naturally could see this was Ye Fan's goading tactic.
But...
So infuriating!!!
Does she really have to say it?
But when Ning Xi met her father's angry gaze, she instantly chickened out, hurriedly pulled her hand back, forced a smile and said: "Dad, can you listen to daughter's explanation, okay?"
"No need to explain."
Lan Xi spoke first, her face full of smiles, "Isn't it just holding hands, Mom approves, don't mind your dad, I have the final say in our family!"
Ning Xiangtian: "..."
