Chapter 378: Two mouthfuls
In the living room.
Ning Xiangtian sat with his legs crossed, looking towards the exit of the living room, his expression light: "If I haven't guessed wrong, this girl is interested in you."
Ning Xi was dumbfounded.
Similar words, Ye Fan had said. Now even her father was saying so. Coupled with Lu Shuhan's strange reactions when they were together, all these things converged, making it somewhat unacceptable for Ning Xi.
A girl liking a girl, this kind of thing, she had naturally heard of. Never ever expected she would encounter such an absurd matter herself.
Regarding his daughter's reaction, Ning Xiangtian was not surprised at all, continued: "No need to question the authenticity of this matter. Dad has met countless people, the look in the eyes of someone who likes another person cannot be hidden."
"But…"
Ning Xi didn't know what to say, even, didn't know what kind of expression she should show.
"It's fine."
Ning Xiangtian patted his daughter's shoulder, smiled comfortingly: "This further proves your excellence. Even fellow girls are deeply attracted to you. My, Ning Xiangtian's, daughter is just that amazing!"
"Dad!"
Ning Xi's small face showed utter bitterness, complained: "You still have the mood to joke with me?"
"Not joking."
Ning Xiangtian's demeanor was serious, "If not, why would this girl named Lu Shuhan like you? There's only this one explanation!"
"…"
Ning Xi's pearly teeth lightly bit her jade lip, her heart extremely conflicted. After being silent for a full half minute or so, only then did she raise her head again, "Dad, it's enough that you know about this matter. Don't tell mom. After all, it's not something glorious."
Ning Xiangtian raised an eyebrow, "Then what about Ye Fan?"
"He…"
Ning Xi's red lips slightly parted, smiled wryly: "He said similar things to you, it's just that I didn't take it to heart."
"Oh?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Ning Xiangtian's eyes, then he said with a chuckle: "Regarding you dating, Dad has already made many concessions. You and Ye Fan are in a relationship, I don't object. But if you were to date a girl, Dad absolutely cannot accept it."
"Aiya, Dad!"
Ning Xi covered her face with her hands, unable to show her face from embarrassment, reproached coquettishly: "I don't like girls, you… don't talk nonsense!"
"That's good then."
Ning Xiangtian smiled heartily, disregarding his daughter's wishes, pulled her and walked upstairs.
When the two arrived at the dining room, Lan Xi immediately noticed the strangeness in her daughter's demeanor, said without changing her expression: "Xiao Xi, go help Xiao Fan a bit. I need to talk to your dad about something."
Hearing this, Ning Xi felt vigilant in her heart, blinked at her father, said in a low voice: "Dad, don't you forget what you promised me."
"Rest assured!"
Receiving her father's assurance, Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief, lightly walked to Ye Fan's side who was cutting vegetables, tilted her head, blinked her eyes mischievously elfin, "Gege, is there anything I can help you with?"
"She left?"
Ye Fan asked without even raising his head.
Ning Xi nodded, "Mm, already left."
Ye Fan put down the kitchen knife, pointed at the seat behind him, his eyes full of doting affection, "Sit down and chat with me."
"Ah?"
"Mm."
...
Ning Xiangtian followed his wife in, closed the door, opened his mouth to inquire: "Wife, what do you need me for?"
Lan Xi's eyes narrowed, asked lightly: "Heard from Xiao Fan that a girl came looking for Xiao Xi?"
"Mm, but she has already left."
"What is the relationship between that girl and Xiao Xi? Why do I feel Xiao Xi's demeanor was somewhat strange just now?"
"N-nothing."
"Before I get angry, quickly speak."
"…"
Facing his wife's threat, Ning Xiangtian originally wanted to be firm for once. After all, he had already promised his daughter to keep her secret.
But when he met his wife's gradually chilling gaze, the thoughts in his mind instantly dissipated. He truthfully told her the speculation from just now.
Heaven is vast, earth is vast, one's own life is the vastest (idiom: life is paramount)!
After listening, Lan Xi's face was full of oddity, "There's such a bizarre thing?"
"Very likely so."
Regarding this, Lan Xi couldn't help but gently rub her temples, "Why does this girl have to be so good-looking? Really drunk !"
Ning Xiangtian quickly flattered, "Wife, isn't it all because she inherited your excellent genes?"
"Get lost!"
Lan Xi rolled her eyes helplessly, lightly chided: "I didn't have this kind of charm when I was young."
"You did, you did."
...
When the two returned to the dining room again, Ning Xi, who was chatting with Ye Fan, covertly cast an inquiring look at her father.
But what responded to her was a wry smile.
Seeing this, the girl's heart skipped a beat. Before she could find a chance to ask clearly what was going on, she was pulled to a corner by her mother.
A few minutes later, Ning Xi walked to her father's side with a straight little face, complained in a low voice: "Dad, didn't we agree you'd keep it a secret for me? How could you tell mom so quickly?"
Ning Xiangtian's expression was calm, said as if it were a matter of course: "Xiao Xi, Dad wanted to keep it a secret for you, but your mom threatened me, I had no choice either!"
"Is this your reason for selling me out?"
"Yes."
Ning Xiangtian gave a dry cough, "You also know, in our family, your mom calls the shots. For dad's personal health, you, as the daughter, sacrificing a bit, is there a problem? No problem!"
"…"
Ning Xi felt frustrated, sat at the dining table and slumped over it.
Ye Fan saw all this, shook his head almost imperceptibly, put down the vegetables in his hand, took a step and walked to Ning Xi's side, "Xiao Xi, let me use your phone."
"For what?"
Ye Fan was just about to explain when he heard Lan Xi say: "Xiao Fan, take Xiao Xi to rest for a while, leave this to me and your uncle."
In front of the two, he unhesitatingly held Ning Xi's hand, pulling her to walk outwards.
This action made Ning Xiangtian's face look somewhat unnatural, but before he could say anything, he received a cold-eyed threat from his wife. The words that reached his lips were swallowed back down.
Ye Fan led Ning Xi to his own bedroom, placed his hands on the girl's fragrant shoulders, pressed her down to sit on the edge of the bed, extended his right hand, "Hand over the phone."
"Gege, what exactly do you want to do?"
Ning Xi looked up at Ye Fan, her head full of fog ( completely bewildered), her pretty face full of doubt.
Ye Fan didn't explain, "Give it to me first, you'll know right away."
"Alright."
Ning Xi obediently took out her phone and handed it to Ye Fan, waiting to see what he was going to do.
Ye Fan sat down close to Ning Xi, the familiar and alluring faint fragrance drilled into his nose. He couldn't help but let out a mischievous laugh. While Ning Xi was unprepared, he kissed her on her smooth, fair cheek.
Ning Xi froze.
Only after a full several seconds did she react, her beautiful face reddening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She covered the spot Ye Fan had kissed just now, said indignantly and shyly: "You, what are you doing?"
The mischievous smile on Ye Fan's face grew richer. He held the girl's delicate head, kissed the other cheek, said: "Just this. If you didn't see clearly, I can demonstrate it again for you."
"You, you…"
Ning Xi stomped her foot forcefully, her chest heaving dramatically, the blush on her face gradually evolving into a fiery cloud.
The sudden two kisses completely dazed her!
Ye Fan laughed happily, his eyes exceptionally profound.
You are the fireworks of the mortal world, unaware of yourself. I, in the secular world, look up in awe, as it should be. Xiao Xi, in this lifetime, I'm set on bullying you! (a poetic phrase)
