Chapter 1157: Promise
Nuannuan truly saw Feng Shengxuan as someone who was closest and most important to her. Chi Yang was even aware that Nuannuan had more feelings for Feng Shengxuan than for Selina, Aiden, and Dan Qi.
Therefore, Chi Yang could not show his hatred for Feng Shengxuan and make things difficult for his little girl.
Chi Yang’s gaze softened a little as he spoke to Feng Shengxuan like the perfect younger brother-in-law. “Big Bro, you’re right. After knowing that you have stomach cancer, Nuannuan has been constantly worrying about you. She’s also concerned that she mightn’t be able to cure you. So, after discussing with me, she decided to let you stay at my place.”
“What?!” Feng Shengxuan’s hair stood on end, thinking that he had misheard Chi Yang.
He, Feng Shengxuan, was the hidden boss behind KE. No matter what, he was still the vice president of Imperial Phoenix Group. He deserved to live in the best place wherever he went. How could he be reduced to living in the enemy’s nest?
“It’s like this. My second uncle’s health has been deteriorating recently. Other than treating your illness, Nuannuan has to treat my second uncle’s illness as well. Our family lives within the First Ring in Emperor District, and Nuannuan lives there as well. I’m sure you know how bad traffic can be in Emperor District. Furthermore, she’s about to go to Yamato to participate in a competition, so it’ll be tiring for her to travel back and forth. There are very few people in our family, so we have plenty of empty rooms. Big Bro, since you’re one of us now, it’s only apt for you to stay in our house.”
Apt my ass!
Feng Shengxuan’s dismay threatened to choke him.
He did not want to stay in Chi Yang’s house at all. After all, besides getting his illness treated, he had many other things to do. For example, killing Chi Yang, killing Chi Yuancheng, and destroying the Nangong family.
However, if he moved into the Chi residence, there was no way Chi Yang and Chi Yuansheng could die. He would also not be able to attack the Nangong family.
Otherwise, Nuannuan would definitely suspect him.
Even so, Chi Yang had already explained everything in full. As Nuannuan’s elder brother, he could not drag her down when she was about to participate in the competition.
Therefore, what he needed to do could only be postponed.
“I see. Okay, then I’ll have no choice to disturb you and your family.”
“You’re Nuannuan’s Big Bro, so you’re my Big Bro too. We’re family, so there’s no need to be so formal.”
Chi Yang had not expected Feng Shengxuan to agree so easily. Now that his mission was completed, he did not want to talk to Feng Shengxuan anymore.
Other than matters related to Nuannuan, Feng Shengxuan was very stubborn, persistent, willful, and self-centered.
More importantly, he did not like the feeling of being under someone else’s roof. It would feel like two tigers fighting over their dominance over a mountain.
Therefore, Nuannuan was rather sure that Feng Shengxuan would object instinctively, but he agreed immediately after hearing that it would be inconvenient for her to travel around. This surprised her and moved her slightly.
“Nuannuan, what competition are you going to participate in? Why didn’t I know about such an important matter?”
“You’re so busy. This is just a small matter.”
Like a resentful wife, Feng Shengxuan looked at Nuannuan with resentment written all over his face and emptiness in his heart.
After all, he was the one who watched Nuannuan grow up. On her sixth’s birthday, he lit a candle for her and asked her what she wished for.
He remembered her shining obsidian eyes back then as her gaze burned into his. She asked, “Big Bro, will any wish I make come true?”
He told Nuannuan that as long as it was not something like plucking the Sun from the skies, he could ask astronauts to gather fresh meteorites from outer space if she wanted stars instead.
However, Nuannuan never made those unrealistic wishes…
