The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 362 Pursuit

In the living room of the villa, Ning Yuting watched Ye Chenfeng’s disappearing figure and slightly bit her lip, the indignation boiling within her ultimately becoming a sigh. Her body slumped, and she sat down on the sofa, her eyes gradually growing dull, her face filled with fatigue. After all these years, she truly was tired.

Just then, Ning Yuting’s younger sister, Ning Minyan, walked into the villa’s living room. The faint smile of happiness on her face disappeared without a trace when she saw the expression on her sister’s face. She quietly sat down beside Ning Yuting and said, "Sis, are you thinking about unhappy things again? Actually, you can pursue your happiness. Who cares about the Xus of Wu State! Besides, Qianqian is not your biological daughter. The Xus arranged for you to adopt an orphan just to tie you down."

Ning Yuting composed herself and said, "Minyan, don’t say such things in front of Qianqian. I have always treated Qianqian as my own daughter. It’s just that I have been too irresponsible as a mother. Qianqian is a pitiful child too!"

"Sis, I also regard Qianqian as family. What I mean is that you could find a father for Qianqian. She has been lacking a father’s love since she was young. That way, you solve the problem of finding lifelong happiness, and Qianqian will have a father. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?" Ning Minyan said, trying to persuade her.

For some reason, when Ning Minyan mentioned finding a father for Qianqian, the first person that came to Ning Yuting’s mind was Ye Chenfeng. This startled her, and she comforted herself internally: "I must be overthinking it, definitely overthinking it. How could I have feelings for that shameless Ye Chenfeng? That’s absolutely impossible."

Seeing Ning Yuting deep in thought, Ning Minyan thought her sister had come around and eagerly said, "Sis, you have so many admirers in the Capital Military Region. With just a beckon of your finger, there’s no telling how many men would be willing to be Qianqian’s father, willing to be your husband! You shouldn’t hesitate anymore, you’ve already wasted too much of your youth."

Ning Yuting gave a wry smile, her smile carrying sorrow, and said, "Minyan, do you think the Xus would let me go? If they were willing to let me go, would they have forced me to marry a dead man back then? Although I am now in Capital City, the Xus must have arranged for someone to watch me in secret. The Xu’s power in Huaxia Country is immense, unless one of the top families in Capital City is willing to stand up for me, otherwise, I can never escape the shadow of the Xus in this lifetime."

"Minyan, which top family in Capital City would agree to have their legitimate heir marry a widow?"

Indeed! Although Ning Yuting was known as the goddess of the Capital Military Region, the fact that she was a widow was unchangeable. The great families of Capital City cared about their reputation, so they would never agree to letting Ning Yuting into their family. Many of Ning Yuting’s admirers were attracted by her looks, by her body! For most of them, their ultimate goal was only to possess Ning Yuting’s body, which Ning Yuting was all too aware of.

Ning Yuting’s brows furrowed tightly, her thoughts inevitably returning to many years ago when the Xus forced her to marry a dead man. The Nings, facing the pressure of the Xus, equally forced Ning Yuting to marry the deceased Xu Zhanchi. In that moment, Ning Yuting truly despaired. She saw the true colors of her family, including her parents. They only considered the interests of the family, and Ning Yuting’s life or happiness meant nothing in the eyes of the Nings. How tragic that was!

"Sis, are you thinking about the past again? Regardless, as your sister, I will always be by your side. The Nings are heartless and ungrateful, and the Xus are driving us to a dead end. I believe that what goes around comes around, and one day they will get their just desserts," Ning Minyan said, her heart aching at the sight of Ning Yuting’s sorrowful expression.

"Sis, I still advise you to go after your own happiness. I don’t believe the Xus’ reach extends to Capital City. If it comes to it, we simply won’t return to Wu State. For us sisters, the Ning family in Wu State means nothing anyway." Over the years, Ning Minyan had watched her sister live a solitary life and she always hoped her sister would find her own happiness.

"Auntie, why are you and Mom still chatting? Oh, Mom, where did Dad go? Doesn’t he live here?" Qianqian, still in pajamas, woke up from sleep. Noticing Ye Chenfeng was absent, she walked out of the room and came downstairs.

"Dad?" Ning Minyan muttered to herself, then looked at Ning Yuting with puzzled eyes. After a moment, she laughed and said, "Sister, you’ve even learned to lie now? Do you have a boyfriend? I’m your own sister! Why haven’t you told me? If it weren’t for Qianqian slipping up today, how much longer were you planning to keep it from me?"

Ning Yuting’s mind conjured up the image of that bastard Ye Chenfeng. She bit her lip and said, "Min Yan, don’t listen to Qianqian’s nonsense. Where would I get a boyfriend from?"

"Mommy, Qianqian didn’t talk nonsense! Qianqian finally has a daddy now, and daddy is also a hero who can protect Qianqian!" Qianqian’s face was adorned with a proud smile.

"Qianqian, tell your aunt what your daddy’s name is," Ning Minyan directly asked Qianqian, knowing her sister would definitely not tell her.

Qianqian already knew Ye Chenfeng’s name, and had even asked for Ye Chenfeng’s phone number before going to sleep. When Ning Yuting tried to stop Qianqian, it was already too late. Without hesitation, Qianqian blurted out, "My daddy’s name is Ye Chenfeng. He’s super handsome, just like the prince charming in fairy tales, and my mommy is a princess cursed by a witch. I know daddy must have come to rescue me and mommy." The little girl innocently bit her fingertip.

"Ye Chenfeng? Why does that name sound so familiar? Right, isn’t Dongjian’s nephew named Ye Chenfeng? Sister, could it be, could it be that you’re dating Dongjian’s nephew? This, this is just too incredible! However, the Yes are a top-tier family in Capital City. If sister and Ye Chenfeng were together, you would one hundred percent be able to escape from the shadow of the Xus," Ning Minyan said in astonishment.

"Qianqian, hurry up and go upstairs to sleep, or else mommy is going to get angry," Ning Yuting put on a stern face on purpose.

Qianqian pouted, and while she was walking upstairs, she muttered to herself, "Qianqian didn’t say anything wrong. Ye Chenfeng is Qianqian’s daddy!"

Only after Qianqian had gone upstairs did Ning Yuting finally heave a sigh of relief and said, "Min Yan, don’t listen to Qianqian’s crazy talk. How could I possibly be with Ye Chenfeng? Don’t you know that Ye Chenfeng is an engaged man? Even if he didn’t have a fiancée, we would never be together. He’s not my type and at best, he’s just a shameless scoundrel."

After thinking it over carefully, Ning Minyan felt that what Ning Yuting said made sense and couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Ning Yuting looked at Ning Minyan and said, "All right, it’s getting late. Let’s rest early!" With that, Ning Yuting headed towards her room upstairs. freēnovelkiss.com

In Ning Yuting’s room.

Having just finished her bath, Ning Yuting sat in front of the window of her room, wearing a somewhat sheer silk nightgown, with her soft, tender feet bare on the floor. Then, Ning Yuting walked over to the bed, picked up a pillow, and kneaded it while confidently saying, "Ye Chenfeng, you big jerk, you big hooligan, you shameless scoundrel. One of these days, I, Ning Yuting, am going to show you just how formidable I am. Just you wait."

Little did Ning Yuting know that liking someone often starts with resentment, and she had indeed begun to resent Ye Chenfeng deep down, a very dangerous move.

"Achoo!" In the Ye family’s villa, Ye Chenfeng had just lain down in bed and couldn’t help but sneeze, "Really don’t know which bastard is cursing me out there? Or maybe which beauty is thinking of me?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it at qidian.com with your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
