Chapter 1352: Bring Me Over
Shi Gen, the head of the Shi family, was once an extremely famous politician in Camino. He was so close to sitting in the position that everyone looked up to.
Afterward, at the most crucial moment, the Shi family stood on the wrong side, causing their downfall from their family's peak.
After two generations of keeping a low profile, they finally saw the light once more.
To everyone who was present, Shi Gen was someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Old Master Nangong.
Therefore, when they saw Shi Gen, all the elders stood up to welcome him.
When Nangong Nuannuan saw Shi Yalin sizing her up, she understood that Big Brother Chi Yang had attracted another rotten peach blossom for her to deal with.
However, for someone who surfed through the largest and tallest waves in life like Nuannuan, she could smash a man-eating flower, let alone peach blossoms.
Seeing that everyone had stood up, Nuannuan followed suit.
"Elder Chi, I'm here to wish you a happy new year!"
As soon as Shi Gen finished speaking, Shi Yalin, who stood next to him, also spoke in a gentle and intellectual manner, "Grandpa Chi, I wish you a happy new year. I wish you a healthy and long life!"
"Hehehe, good, good. Thank you for your blessings." Old Master Chi smiled at Shi Yalin kindly.
Receiving Grandpa Chi's friendliness, Shi Yalin immediately targeted Nangong Nuannuan. She turned around and smiled at Chi Yang, saying, "Big Brother Chi Yang, Happy New Year. Hope you're always in good health."
Without waiting for Chi Yang's reply, she immediately added, "You promised me that you would bring me to Eagle to take a look around when I've reached the ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo. You must keep your word! Since it's New Year's eve and you're at home tomorrow, how about we go tomorrow?"
Nangong Nuannuan was clearly standing right next to Chi Yang, but Shi Yalin acted as if she did not see her. The moment she arrived, she tried to snatch Chi Yang for herself. At the same time, she also gave Nangong Nuannuan an opening gambit.
However, Nangong Nuannuan's smile did not falter. From the moment she stood up until now, she had been smiling graciously and appropriately. Compared to her, Shi Yalin seemed to be at a disadvantage even though she was clad in her high-grade tailored dress.
Old Master Nangong's expression darkened instantly.
How could he let any Tom, Dick, or Harry facesmack the little princess of the Nangong family?
Just as he was about to speak, Chi Yang opened his mouth.
With his straight back and suaveness in his military uniform that complemented his abstinent aura, Chi Yang exuded the aura that meant to push Shi Yalin away. It was a stark contrast to his indulgence when he hung around Nuannuan.
"I'm not free tomorrow. I have to accompany my fiancée."
Shi Yalin, "…"
Shi Yalin, who had just gotten facesmacked, was dissatisfied. She asked again, "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"I'm not free. I want to accompany my fiancée."
"Then… then what about the day after that?" Shi Yalin refused to give up. She did not believe that Chi Yang would not give her a single chance.
"I'm not free." Then, he pulled the cute little girl standing next to him into his arms and said, "I want to accompany my fiancée every day."
Shi Yalin's pupils constricted as she glared intently at the hand that Chi Yang hooked around Nangong Nuannuan's shoulder.
This was the first time she saw Chi Yang take the initiative to hug a woman instead of a woman trying to cling onto him.
This was even more infuriating than seeing Nangong Nuannuan hugging Chi Yang and declaring her ownership before Shi Yalin.
To Shi Yalin, it felt like her man had cheated on her right in front of her. It made her so angry that she wanted to explode.
Shi Yalin was the only girl among the Shi family's grandchildren. She had been pampered by the family since she was young. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?Peach blossoms symbolize romantic luck with another person.
