Birthday parties are prepared immediately, and dozens of well-prepared dishes are put on the table in no time.
Xia Ling was Grandma Ye's favorite and was dragged to sit beside her. Grandma Ye kept telling her to eat more, while the nearby Great Aunt was constantly taking food to her plate. Xia Ling was a little surprised by all that pampering – even though Pei Ziheng used to take care of her, he had never felt such treatment from the old man. The elders in the Pei family were colder and more of a nature and did not particularly accept orphans like him. Although they did not express their disagreement explicitly because of Pei Ziheng, the way they acted around the volume of his voice.
He used to think that all the disapproval and grievances did not bother him at all, that it was all worth it as long as Pei Ziheng continued to love him. However, now that he was being cared for by the two elders, he realized that he couldn't possibly be wrong.
This is what we mean by true family. It was a completely new feeling for him.
There were so many emotions inside him as he ate.
After the party, they went out of the house for some fireworks.
Beautiful sparks flew into the sky, lighting up the night as children cheered and adults admired the sight. Xia Ling sat on the haystack with her hands on her knees, silently staring at the night sky. She had a calm but sweet demeanor and a kind of happiness in her calmness, and the way the light illuminated her beautiful and gentle face made her more attractive.
More interesting than fireworks.
This line appeared on Nan Sheng's head without him noticing.
He was almost obsessed with looking at her, and he found this strange. This girl was not an extraordinary beauty, but her mysterious aura was indeed attractive.
Fourth Uncle caught his expression quickly.
"Mr Nan?" Ask while laughing. "What do you see?"
Nan Sheng turned around. Seeing that it was Fourth Uncle, he made no attempt to hide anything. "Does this girl have a boyfriend?"
He was so direct that he threw Fourth Uncle a little. Realizing what Nan Sheng implied made him excited. Did Master Nan ask this because he was interested in her? This Mr. Nan is a good catch, if he can bring the two of them together, the two families will be closer than before, and it will greatly benefit his business.
Fourth Uncle smiled. "Daughter? Never heard of this . Mr Nan, you've been divorced for half a year, huh? It is not easy to raise a son alone, it is time you find a partner. Our Xiao Ling is fine with the children, as you can see – Ying Ying and the other children are a bit close to her. And he's a celebrity, his status and yours are perfect for each other. ”
His words were exactly what Nan Sheng needed to hear.
Marry back? Yes, she did intend to marry him, and for good reason. Only by marrying her, or convincing her to enter her family, would she help him wholeheartedly. He always viewed marriage as a means to an end, nothing more than an asset. Despite being only in her twenties, she had two divorces, and both times she got married just because of the advantages involved. After he used the other party and got what he wanted, he kicked them without regret or shame.
Master Nan watched the girl on the haystack as she enjoyed the fireworks, her petite posture making her seem too lonely. How could he not? She knew very well that little celebrities like her were nothing but toys for the rich people in the industry and that they would never be given status or have the opportunity to enter the wedding hall as an attractive wife lawful.
For someone like Lord Nan who was willing to marry her, it would definitely make her grateful.
Master Nan smiled in satisfaction, thanked Fourth Uncle, and walked up to the haystack.
Xia Ling was engrossed in watching the fireworks when someone appeared beside her, making her frightened. He widened his eyes at this polite and polite man who was sitting a little too close to him. Feeling uncomfortable with the lack of personal space, she slightly shifted to the side.
"Xiao Ling was watching the fireworks too?" Mr. Nan struck the most interesting pose as he struck it.
Objectively, this Mr. Nan seemed pleasant and seemed rather polite considering the way he dressed and carried himself. She was clearly the type that stood out in the crowd and was attractive to most women. But, was Xia Ling just another woman? He was with Pei Ziheng in his previous life, and in this life, he was in contact with Li Lei the entire time. Was there any of these two men who were slightly inferior to him? Was it the appearance, ability, family background, or even the way they talked sweetly with the women, in what sense could Master Nan even compare?
Mr. Nan trying to present himself as an attractive person was only a tragedy.
Xia Ling found this man a bit strange. They barely knew each other and the haystack was so small, why did he think it was a good idea to hit him like this? And why would he call her "Xiao Ling" like they were close? Where did he think this was, a random social bar in City S?
He politely answered. "Yes . "And with that, he looked back and ignored her.
Mr. Nan felt awkward, quietly condemned his lack of response, and decided to lean a little closer. “These fireworks were taken and bought by Fourth Uncle and I. We got it from the best factory in the vicinity, and the boss gave us a big discount on my account. This is definitely a cheap but high quality item. "He showed off his abilities to her.
Xia Ling simply nodded again, and said, “Thank you for buying the fireworks, Mr. Nan. It's late and I'm so tired, I'll go to my room first. You might make yourself comfortable here. “With that, he lightly jumped off the haystack and left.
How joking, he just didn't want to keep listening to her. And the way he leaned too close to her, it took a lot of effort not to slap her in the face. She also smelled bad; she wondered what cologne she was using. After all, that was definitely not his standard.
Xia Ling fled to her room before sighing in relief.
He left Master Nan in shock as he sat on the haystack alone.
What ... how could the woman not be interested in the least! Master Nan could not understand his mistake .. He had no taste, that's for sure! Does he even know what it means for the heir of the Nan family to humbly chase after him? It was an opportunity for him to achieve instant success and he completely rejected it, no wonder he remained a small celebrity after such a long time. He's very dense.
Master Nan scolded Xia Ling in his head for a while before coming down from the haystack.
Fourth Uncle approached him with a smile. “Master Nan, please don't mind him, Xiao Ling's anger has always been like this. He's a stupid kid, and also a little shy, I'm sure he definitely thinks he can't match you and therefore doesn't know how to react. Fourth Uncle looked at how the situation was happening, including how Nan Sheng was ignored and left alone. He was afraid that Nan Sheng would give up on Xia Ling just like that and had no choice but to give her some consolation.
In his heart, he cursed. Hi Xingling, You poor little fellow, if not for the benefits you can provide me, I'll teach you a lesson for offending my business partner!
