The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 381: Something Fishy

"Sis, you’re really not coming back to Wu State with me? Forget it, the Nings once pushed you to that state, that ’home’ has no meaning for us anymore. If it wasn’t for Grandpa Ye, I would be too lazy to go back to the Nings in Wu State!" After leaving the Yes’, Ning Min Yan had returned to Ning Yu Ting’s villa, ready to pack up her things and set off for Wu State tomorrow.

"I really don’t know what kind of attitude the Nings will have towards me now that I’m going back with Dongjian. But tomorrow, Dongjian’s nephew, Ye Chenfeng, will accompany us back to the Nings. Grandpa Ye seems to value Ye Chenfeng highly. He said as long as Ye Chenfeng is with us when we go back to Wu State, he absolutely won’t let us suffer any losses." Ning Min Yan was organizing her replacement clothes in the room while Ning Yu Ting sat quietly beside her, listening to her sister’s words.

When Ning Yu Ting heard the name ’Ye Chenfeng,’ images of him suddenly embracing her in the villa’s living room surfaced in her mind, her cheeks blushing at the recollection. A sense of inexplicable sweetness grew slowly in her heart; she knew without Ye Chenfeng’s intervention, she would have fallen into the hands of that beast Xu Pengfei long ago.

Ning Yu Ting had also heard about the fall of the Honghai Association in Capital City and the death of Xu Pengfei promptly. She knew all this was Ye Chenfeng’s doing. Often, she would find herself daydreaming and pondering, "Did Ye Chenfeng destroy the Honghai Association and kill Xu Pengfei for me?"

It’s no wonder women’s imaginations always seem more colourful and vivid than men’s. Although Ning Yu Ting may appear to be a mature woman, her heart is still like that of a young girl! Such pure thoughts usually only occur to seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls. Clearly, Ning Yu Ting was slowly being captivated, and it likely wouldn’t be long before she completely fell into Ye Chenfeng’s web of affection.

It’s not Ning Yu Ting’s fault; for one, many of her thoughts are too naive; for another, Ye Chenfeng has saved her and Qianqian time and again. It would be surprising if Ning Yu Ting didn’t develop feelings for Ye Chenfeng!

"With the matter of Ye Chenfeng killing Xu Pengfei in Capital City, the Xus in Wu State are definitely aware. If Ye Chenfeng accompanies Min Yan and Dongjian back to Wu State, he will surely encounter danger. No, I must go too." Within a short moment, Ning Yu Ting changed her initial decision.

Ning Yu Ting looked at Ning Min Yan, who was folding clothes, and said, "Min Yan, tomorrow Qianqian and I will go back to Wu State with you."

"Sis, I thought you weren’t coming back to Wu State with us. What’s left in the Nings for you to reminisce over? It’s better you don’t return to face the Nings’ grimaces," Ning Min Yan stopped her actions and looked at Ning Yu Ting quizzically.

"Min Yan, I haven’t been back to Wu State for many years. I was able to transfer to the Capital Military Region thanks to the commander of the Wu State Military Region. He has always treated me as if I were his daughter. All these years, I haven’t gone back to visit him. This time it’s a good opportunity to return to Wu State, and who knows, maybe we won’t ever go back to Wu State after this." Ning Yu Ting found a random excuse; it wasn’t because she heard Ye Chenfeng was going to Wu State that she suddenly changed her decision, right?

"Okay, Sis, since you say so, then you and us will go back to Wu State tomorrow. If the Nings dare to give you dirty looks or speak rudely to you, I definitely won’t stand by idly. We have two free laborers this time! Let Dongjian and Ye Chenfeng stand up for us when the time comes," Ning Min Yan said, bubbling with excitement.

"Hmm." Ning Yu Ting nodded and hummed in agreement, thinking that she indeed feels secure as long as Ye Chenfeng is there. Back in the abandoned factory, with twenty-something gun barrels pointed at her and Ye Chenfeng, she thought she was certainly doomed. But Ye Chenfeng created a miracle, and such a man, emanating an aura of mystery, holds an absolute allure for any woman.

...

Early the next day, as the sun began to rise, a Mercedes-Benz van was parked outside Ning Yu Ting’s villa. This time, Grandpa Ye had arranged a driver for Ye Chenfeng and the rest. The trip from Capital City to Wu State would only take a few hours, so there was no need for them to take a train or any other form of transportation.

Ye Chenfeng and Ye Dongjian stepped out of the Mercedes-Benz van. Qianqian, dressed in a princess gown, came out of the villa just in time. When she saw Ye Chenfeng, her watery big eyes suddenly brightened, and she ran towards him, leaping into his arms and planting a big kiss on his cheek, sweetly exclaiming, "Daddy, you came! Mommy told me that we are going to Wu State together this time. You must sleep with Qianqian and tell me lots and lots of interesting fairy tales."

Ye Chenfeng affectionately stroked Qianqian’s head, while Ye Dongjian stood completely dumbfounded beside them. The cigarette he had just lit and placed between his lips trembled, and the entire stick fell to the ground. He knew Qianqian was Ning Yuting’s daughter, but he had no idea how Ye Chenfeng had become Qianqian’s father?

As for Ning Min Yan, she was aware that Qianqian called Ye Chenfeng "Dad." She had originally thought that there was something real between Ye Chenfeng and her sister! But after Ning Yuting explained, Ning Min Yan let it go, considering that Ye Chenfeng was already engaged, and besides, Ning Yuting was a widow, and they were simply not from the same world.

Qianqian, who had thrown herself into Ye Chenfeng’s arms, saw the stunned Ye Dongjian beside her and said with a giggle, "You are my little aunt’s boyfriend, you should call me ’Dad’s sister-in-law.’ Don’t you have any manners?"

"Sister-in-law?" Ye Dongjian felt like he was going to collapse. What was going on! How had his nephew Ye Chenfeng suddenly become his brother-in-law? This, this, this was driving Ye Dongjian mad enough to contemplate running into a wall.

"Qianqian, stop fooling around. Ye Chenfeng is not your dad. If you keep this up, Mommy won’t take you to Wu State for fun," Ning Yuting, who had just come out of the villa, chided after hearing Qianqian’s nonsensical words.

"Dongjian, don’t take it to heart. Ye Chenfeng saved Qianqian before, and since then she has been calling him ’Dad.’ So it’s not what you’re thinking," Ning Yuting explained to Ye Dongjian as she walked up to him.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, children will say anything, children will say anything! I was really almost dizzy just now! How could this kid Chenfeng possibly be good enough for you, Yu Ting!" Ye Dongjian said, waving his hands awkwardly.

"Ye Dongjian, is that how you address my sister? You should call her ’sister’ just like me," said Ning Min Yan with a bag in her hand as she came out of the villa, closing the door behind her.

Ye Dongjian was completely whipped by his wife, and as soon as he heard what Ning Min Yan said, he quickly corrected himself, "Min Yan is right, I should indeed call you ’sister.’ After all, we are now one big family."

Then, turning to Ye Chenfeng, Ye Dongjian said, "Chenfeng, what are you standing there for? Help carry the bags!" Perhaps in an effort to reclaim some male dignity, Ye Dongjian assumed an elder’s demeanor towards Ye Chenfeng, winking and gesticulating to let him give a little face to his younger uncle.

"Qianqian’s dad isn’t someone who carries bags. Qianqian’s dad is a hero, only attendants carry bags, so you should be the one to carry the bags for Mom and little aunt," Qianqian said grumpily to Ye Dongjian.

"Dad, let’s get in the car! Mom doesn’t want you anymore, Qianqian will always want you, you will always be Qianqian’s dad," Qianqian cooed as she nestled into Ye Chenfeng’s embrace.

Seeing Ye Dongjian’s downtrodden expression, a playful thought crossed Ye Chenfeng’s mind, and he said, "Qianqian is so well-behaved, it looks like Dad has a good daughter now. Let’s go, we’re getting in the car."

Ye Dongjian heard Ye Chenfeng actually dared to admit that Qianqian was his daughter? The military goddess Ning Yuting was not one to be trifled with, and he guessed that she would definitely blow her top at Ye Chenfeng, but when Ye Dongjian turned to look at Ning Yuting, he saw her cheeks flushed with shyness, looking utterly demure—was this the same military goddess?

Ye Dongjian had a very bad feeling inside, "There’s trickery at play, absolute trickery! Could it be that Chenfeng might really become my brother-in-law one day? Then the relationships would truly become complicated." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on qidian.com.
