Chapter 370: Shall we compete?
"Dad, rest assured."
Regarding her father's worry, Ning Xi beamed with a smile, waved her small fist, "I won't be affected by this. Besides, there's also Gege… cough, Ye Fan will protect me."
Ning Xiangtian's eyelids twitched, feeling tired in his heart, said: "No need to hide and tuck, just call him what you should call him."
"…Mm."
At this moment, Ning Xi's face was very hot, her heart somewhat wanting to cry but having no tears.
What's wrong today?
Why can't I always control my own mouth?
So embarrassing!
At this point, the conversation between father and daughter ended.
The moment the study door closed again, Ning Xi jubilantly raised her small hands, her face full of happy smiles.
This scene happened to be seen by Lan Xi who came to call her husband, feeling very surprised in her heart.
Ning Xi also noticed her mother, immediately restrained herself a lot, trotted to her mother's side, hugged her mother's arm coquettishly, "Mom, Dad is reading, don't disturb him."
Saying this, she pulled her mother to the living room.
Lan Xi's gaze kept lingering on her daughter's face, squinted and asked: "Xiao Xi, tell mom, what exactly made you so happy?"
"N-nothing."
Ning Xi stuck out her tongue, recounted the conversation just now to her mother.
After listening, Lan Xi's eyes widened, incomparably surprised, said: "Your dad actually agreed to such a request? Truly an iron tree blooming (铁树开花 - tiěshù kāihuā / idiom: something extremely rare)!"
Ning Xi giggled non-stop. Actually, before this, she also didn't hold out any hope, but life is full of surprises!
Lan Xi saw her daughter so happy, laughed along, instructed: "Xiao Xi, since you've already promised your dad, then mom won't say anything more. Remember your promise, okay."
"Mm!"
Ning Xi nodded obediently. Although there was shyness in her heart, there was more sweetness.
......
"Come, slowly."
A little past seven in the morning, in the courtyard, Ye Fan greeted several moving workers to place a huge glass cover on the ground, as well as many strange and peculiar devices.
Before long, Ning Xiangtian and Lan Xi both came to the courtyard upon hearing the noise.
Seeing the various things placed in the courtyard, the two silently looked at each other. Lan Xi spoke first, "Hubby, what is Xiao Fan doing?"
"Not clear."
Ning Xiangtian's face darkened, said helplessly: "This kid really isn't treating himself as an outsider, really treating this place as his own home?"
Saying this, he strode towards Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, what are you doing?"
Several workers, upon seeing Ning Xiangtian, instantly widened their eyes. No one expected to see the legendary richest man of Xia Country here. For a moment, they all had the illusion of dreaming.
Ye Fan turned around, chuckled and explained: "Uncle, I'm preparing a birthday gift for Xiao Xi."
"Birthday gift?"
Lan Xi, who followed, looked suspicious, pointed at the various strange things in the courtyard, "Xiao Fan, these are birthday gifts?"
"That's right!"
Ye Fan smiled and nodded, said: "However, I can't tell you and Uncle right now, you'll know tomorrow."
After speaking, he took out several red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the moving workers, said politely: "Worked hard, thank you everyone."
After sending off the moving workers, Ye Fan immediately received a cold stare from Ning Xiangtian, instantly smiled awkwardly, "Uncle, don't look at me like that, I'm getting creeped out !"
"Hmph!"
Remembering what his daughter discussed with him yesterday, Ning Xiangtian felt angry in his heart, his attitude extremely unfriendly, questioned: "You just prepare these strange birthday gifts for Xiao Xi? Isn't that a bit too perfunctory ?"
"Perfunctory?"
Ye Fan froze, then seemed to understand something, said unhurriedly: "Uncle, you probably misunderstood. Although the birthday gift I'm giving Xiao Xi might not be considered expensive, the sentiment is very full. Moreover, this birthday gift of mine is tailor-made for Xiao Xi, she will definitely like it."
"Hehe——"
Ning Xiangtian sneered, brilliance flashing in his narrowed eyes, "Definitely like it? Coincidentally, I also prepared a birthday gift for Xiao Xi. Shall we compare?"
Lan Xi, beside him, upon hearing her husband's childish words, couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead.
Even this has to be compared?
Isn't he ashamed…
"Okay, then let's compare."
Ye Fan smiled knowingly, said with incomparable confidence: "Uncle, the winner will definitely be me."
"Bullshit !"
Ning Xiangtian waved his large sleeve, extremely displeased.
Lan Xi kicked her husband exasperatedly, reminded: "Watch your words."
Just then, Ning Xi came into the courtyard wearing a nightgown, her skin like congealed fat exposed to the air, especially the section of jade leg below the hem of the skirt, even more dazzling. She blinked her eyes in confusion, looking at the scene before her, "What's this situation?"
Seeing his daughter, Ning Xiangtian said lightly: "Xiao Xi, these are the birthday gifts Ye Fan prepared for you, do you like them?"
"Hmm?"
Ning Xi rubbed her eyes, looked again at the things placed on the ground in the courtyard. Thinking of what Ye Fan said yesterday on the way back from the research lab, seemed to have thought of something. A light smile appeared on her jade lips, beautiful dimples suddenly appearing.
"Like them."
Ning Xiangtian was dumbfounded.
This girl, could her brain be broken?
These rubbish things, she likes them too?
Why?!
Looking at her husband's frozen face, Lan Xi directly broke her defense, covered her mouth and giggled stealthily, teased in a low voice: "Hubby, just tell me, why did you have to bring humiliation upon yourself?"
Ning Xiangtian: "…"
"Eat!"
Dropping this sentence, Ning Xiangtian turned and entered the house.
Seeing this, Ning Xi finally reacted, guiltily blinked at her mother, said uncertainly: "Mom, did I… say something wrong just now?"
"Don't mind your dad."
Lan Xi looked at the objects in the courtyard with considerable interest, looked at Ye Fan meaningfully, asked: "Xiao Fan, what are all these things?"
Ye Fan smiled slightly, said mysteriously: "Sister Lan, temporarily a secret, otherwise there won't be a sense of surprise."
Regarding this, Lan Xi found it extremely amusing, sighed: "Young people nowadays really know how to play more and more."
With that said, lightly walked away.
Ning Xi moved closer to Ye Fan's side, tilted her head, blinked her eyes incomparably cutely, "Gege, are these the fireworks you prepared?"
"Yes and no."
Looking at the jade-like girl before him, Ye Fan tapped her flawless white forehead. Bathed in sunlight, the girl's thin nightgown was slightly transparent, her exquisite and shapely figure faintly visible, the astonishing beauty creating a sense of suffocation.
Such a beautiful scene seemed to make even the just-risen sun lose its luster.
"Cough cough——"
Ye Fan only glanced once, then hurriedly retracted his gaze, not daring to look again.
This little thing is getting more and more alluring!
Noticing something was off in Ye Fan's expression, Ning Xi was puzzled, "Gege, what's wrong with you?"
"N-nothing."
Ye Fan shook his head.
The girl's red lips pouted, relentlessly said: "Clearly something is wrong, quickly say it!"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, "Really want me to say it?"
"Mm."
The girl nodded.
Amusement flashed in Ye Fan's eyes, he leaned closer to the girl's earlobe.
"My heart yearns for you, as a deer yearns for streams of water."
