Chapter 410 Only love must be you
Hearing her daughter's such weak words, Ning Xiangtian felt an unknown fire rise in his heart, sternly reprimanded with a cold face: "What nonsense are you talking? If there's a breakup, it's you dumping this kid!"
"Dad, I don't want to break up…"
"…"
Ning Xi's eye sockets were slightly moist, tears already starting to well up.
Ye Fan's heart ached terribly seeing this, hurriedly explained: "Xiao Xi, I have no intention of breaking up with you. Don't listen to Uncle's nonsense. I like you so much, how could I break up with you?"
"Who's talking nonsense?"
Ning Xiangtian looked at Ye Fan now, finding him displeasing no matter how he looked, said coldly: "You told us this matter today, isn't it precisely to break up with Xiao Xi? Want to have a clear conscience? Hmph!"
"You shut up!"
Lan Xi's face was as cold as frost.
She could see it now. In this matter, her husband was playing the role of a shit-stirrer
Having lived together for so many years, Ning Xiangtian could naturally tell his wife was truly angry. He obediently closed his mouth.
"Xiao Fan, you speak."
Ye Fan nodded, his eyes gently wiping Ning Xi's eyes, "Xiao Xi, Sister Lan; the reason I told you this matter today is just that I don't want to hide it from you. After all, one lie requires more lies to cover up."
"I just want you to know about this matter. Moreover, I have never had any intention of breaking up with Xiao Xi. As for how to handle this matter, I am still thinking, but I believe I can definitely find a solution that satisfies both sides "
Ye Fan looked at Ning Xi, his demeanor full of sincerity, his voice neither light nor heavy, "Xiao Xi, I can compromise on anything, except for love, it must be you; in the future, when encountering matters, you must have confidence in me, understand?"
Ning Xi smiled through her tears, the panic in her heart instantly disappearing. Disregarding that her parents were still present, she tightly hugged Ye Fan's arm, her soft voice full of reliance, "You said this, don't you dare lie to me!"
"Mm, I said it."
Light words, yet they contained Ye Fan's sincerity, his attitude.
He intimately pinched Ning Xi's jade-like nose, turned his head to look at Lan Xi and Ning Xiangtian, "Uncle, Sister Lan; I plan to return to Linhai tomorrow."
"Shen Li's family indeed helped my mother and me back then. Out of both sentiment and reason, I must meet them. Just taking this opportunity, I will explain clearly to Shen Li and cancel the arranged child marriage from back then."
Lan Xi nodded slightly, said gratifiedly: "Good, don't be too hasty. After all, they helped you."
"This kid understands."
After speaking, Ye Fan's gaze landed on Ning Xiangtian, said apologetically: "Uncle, just now this junior's words were somewhat impolite, really very sorry."
Ning Xiangtian huffed, but didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Lan Xi got so angry she directly pinched his waist. The next second, Ning Xiangtian's miserable cry sounded in the living room.
"Not making Xiao Xi cry isn't satisfying enough, right?"
"Hiss~~, Wife, wrong, I was wrong…"
......
The next day.
Six o'clock in the morning, the quiet bedroom was broken by the sound of an alarm clock.
Ye Fan opened his eyes, quickly got dressed, washed up a bit, then pulled the already packed suitcase downstairs. When he reached the living room, his eyes caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure in the corner of the sofa.
Ning Xi supported her chin with her right hand, her eyes slightly closed, looking extremely sleepy.
Seeing this situation, Ye Fan understood in his heart, this girl probably didn't sleep last night. With a straight face, he walked over, picked the girl up by her waist and placed her on his lap, flicked her fair forehead, lectured: "Xiao Xi, did you not sleep all night?"
"…So painful."
Ning Xi covered her forehead, stared at Ye Fan aggrievedly, "Gege, I couldn't sleep."
Such a pitiful appearance instantly broke through Ye Fan's disguise. He spoke gently: "Relax, it's just a small matter. You need to have confidence in yourself. In this lifetime, I absolutely will not give you the chance to shake me off!"
"Who wants to… shake you off?"
Traces of crimson climbed onto Ning Xi's cheeks. Incomparably boldly, she buried herself in Ye Fan's front, whispered softly: "Gege, I want to go to Linhai with you, please."
"Then let's go together."
Looking at the little kitten in his arms, Ye Fan fundamentally couldn't say words of refusal, sighed lightly: "Go upstairs and pack your luggage. The flight is at eight o'clock, there are still tickets available now." 7K妏敩 (likely extraneous characters from source)
"Really?!"
Ning Xi's eyes widened, then her face filled with worry, "But wouldn't this be somewhat… inappropriate?"
She wasn't stupid. Shen Li's family had done a favor for Ye Fan's family, and Shen Li's dad had just passed away. Moreover, Shen Li definitely had feelings for Ye Fan. Otherwise, Shen Li's mother absolutely wouldn't have brought up the child marriage arranged years ago.
At this time, for her to appear before Shen Li as Ye Fan's girlfriend, it didn't seem appropriate no matter how she thought about it.
"You girl, you actually know it's inappropriate?"
Ye Fan exasperatedly pinched Ning Xi's chubby pretty face, said earnestly: "Xiao Xi, normally I'd be eager to take you to Linhai, but this time it's indeed somewhat inappropriate."
"Then just now you still said…"
"Can't bear to refuse you."
A doting look appeared in Ye Fan's eyes. He lowered his head and whispered gently beside Ning Xi's ear: "As long as you say it, even if it's inappropriate again, I will still take you."
Warmth occupied Ning Xi's fragrant heart, her eyes incomparably gentle. She didn't speak either, just prettily tilted her head up to stare at Ye Fan. After a good while, only then did she softly say: "Gege, I'm not going anymore."
"Hmm?"
Ye Fan's face was full of surprise.
Ning Xi's delicate head nodded lightly, dimples gradually appearing on her lips, her jade face carrying a charming naivety, "I'm not a willful girl. You are good to me, I will also be good to you. The request just now was indeed somewhat improper, didn't consider for you, sorry."
"Silly girl."
Facing such a sensible and well-behaved girl, Ye Fan's black pupils filled with amusement, "Really not going?"
"Aiya!"
Ning Xi reproached coquettishly, lightly patted Ye Fan's chest, "It took me so much effort to make up my mind, don't tempt me!"
Ye Fan smiled heartily.
Just then, a coughing sound came from the top of the stairs.
Lan Xi leaned against the wall at the top of the stairs, her teasing eyes carrying a faint smile.
Ning Xi turned her head to look, instantly blushed crimson. At this moment, she was straddling Ye Fan's legs. Don't know when, her hands had also climbed onto Ye Fan's neck. Right now, their posture couldn't be more intimate. She hurriedly stood up and took two steps aside.
"Mom, you… how come you came downstairs without a sound?"
"Xiao Xi, this can't be blamed on mom."
Lan Xi pursed her lips into a smile, teased: "You and Xiao Fan were whispering so absorbedly, even if I had collapsed the stairs, I'm afraid you wouldn't have heard."
"Mom!"
Ning Xi's pretty face was completely red, her shy posture beautiful beyond words .
Regarding her daughter's thin skin, Lan Xi knew clearly in her heart, didn't tease her daughter further, dropped a sentence, turned and went upstairs.
"After Xiao Fan leaves, quickly go to sleep!"
"Got it!"
