692: Chapter 681: Don’t Misunderstand 692: Chapter 681: Don’t Misunderstand “This isn’t about being unable to sleep, I just heard your voice and came out to greet you!”
Ning Fan explained, only to realize his clothes were on backwards at this moment, which was extremely embarrassing.
Facing Xu Xiaoqing’s suspicious gaze, Ning Fan suddenly felt a twinge of guilt.
“I’m just coming back home, and you made a special trip to greet me?”
Xu Xiaoqing laughed, her mouth expressing disdain but her heart was actually quite happy.
“Oh, by the way, I was telling you…” Xu Xiaoqing moved closer to Ning Fan, intending to share something interesting, but then she sniffed and caught a strange scent, her gaze suddenly sharpening, “What is this smell?”
Xu Xiaoqing looked into Ning Fan’s eyes as she asked.
Ning Fan blinked with feigned confusion, then scratched his head in puzzlement and replied, “Do I have a smell on me?”
While saying that, Ning Fan also made a show of sniffing himself.
“Could it be the smell of sweat?”
“Sweat, doesn’t seem like it!”
Xu Xiaoqing looked at Ning Fan with confusion, she always felt there was a scent on him, but she just couldn’t describe what it was actually like.
Ning Fan looked puzzled, but his heart was drumming with anxiety, the little girl was inexperienced, of course, she couldn’t describe the smell, and now seeing her suspicion, Ning Fan dared not stay in front of Xu Xiaoqing any longer, quickly changing the subject, “It’s late, and you’ve been out all day, you must be tired, go rest early!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan turned and walked toward his own room, ignoring whatever Xu Xiaoqing’s reaction might be, and swiftly returned to his room.
Xu Xiaoqing stood there, pouting, not understanding why Ning Fan ran off so quickly, as if he had done something wrong.
She didn’t think much about it, after going wild outside for so long, she was tired, and had drunk quite a bit, her head was heavy.
“Ahh-choo!”
After sneezing, Xu Xiaoqing rubbed her eyes and then returned to her room.
The next day Xu Ruolan got up somewhat late, and when she came downstairs, Ning Fan and Xu Xiaoqing were already awake.
“Sis, are you feeling unwell?”
Xu Xiaoqing, after noticing something odd about her sister Xu Ruolan’s steps, asked with concern.
Xu Ruolan blushed and subconsciously glanced at Ning Fan, who couldn’t help but show a bitter smile, making the atmosphere suddenly awkward.
Xu Xiaoqing was very sensitive to the mood and immediately noticed something was off.
She walked over to Xu Ruolan and whispered, “Is it your period?”
She hadn’t minded until Xu Xiaoqing asked, but Xu Ruolan was at a loss for words now, unable to speak the excuse she had prepared.
“I…
I’m fine.”
It took her quite a while to finally get that sentence out hesitantly.
At that point, Ning Fan also came over, patted the young girl’s shoulder with a weighty tone, and said, “You’re still young, you wouldn’t understand.”
Xu Xiaoqing blinked in confusion, looking at Ning Fan with his mysterious and knowing demeanor, and instantly felt annoyed, sensing that the two were hiding something from her.
Hearing Ning Fan’s words, Xu Ruolan blamed him, “What are you telling Xiaoqing!”
She looked embarrassed but very cute, and Ning Fan smiled, choosing to wisely shut his mouth at that moment.
Xu Xiaoqing muttered something softly to herself, then turned her head away with slight annoyance, refusing to look at Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan’s intimate display.
“It’s getting late, I can’t be late.”
As the president of a large company, Xu Ruolan had always set a good example, and now there wasn’t much time left, she would be late if she didn’t leave soon.
Seeing Xu Ruolan turn to leave, still trying to be strong, Ning Fan had thought of asking her to take the day off and rest, but before he could catch up with her, Xu Xiaoqing stopped him, asking, “Don’t you think my sister was acting a bit strange this morning?”
“Strange, what’s so strange about that?
Nothing at all!”
Ning Fan, confused, turned his eyes and replied.
Xu Xiaoqing sized up Ning Fan with a suspicious gaze for a long time, and sure enough, as she suspected, Ning Fan and her sister were intentionally keeping something from her.
The urge to question surged within her, and just as Xu Xiaoqing was about to speak up, Ning Fan did not give her the chance.
“I’m taking your sister to the company.”
After leaving these words behind, Ning Fan quickly caught up to Xu Ruolan.
Xu Xiaoqing stamped her foot indifferently and watched the direction Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan left in, with a hint of doubt flickering in her eyes.
“What do they mean by ‘I’m still young’?
Are they both hiding something shameful from me?”
Xu Xiaoqing murmured discontentedly, not understanding why Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan deliberately concealed things.
But for now, finding the truth was impossible, with Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan gone and the house left with only her in it.
Meanwhile, Ning Fan quickly caught up with Xu Ruolan and directly snatched the car keys from her hand, gently saying, “You’re not in a good state right now; maybe you should rest at home instead.”
Ning Fan indeed hoped that Xu Ruolan would rest at home today as there was nothing urgent at the company, and missing one day wouldn’t matter.
However, though she was touched, Xu Ruolan still firmly shook her head.
“You’re just as stubborn as ever,” Ning Fan shook his head and didn’t insist any further, “then I’ll take you.”
“Mhm!”
Xu Ruolan had a happy smile on her face.
After driving the car out, Xu Ruolan suddenly seemed to remember something and anxiously turned to Ning Fan, “Do you think I might be pregnant?”
As she spoke these words, Xu Ruolan’s face flushed again, and her eyes held a complex mix of confusion and expectation.
Ning Fan, on the other hand, almost burst out laughing.
He had truly not expected Xu Ruolan to ask him such a question at this time, and he found it very tricky to handle.
But noticing Xu Ruolan’s conflicted expression, Ning Fan couldn’t help but grin.
“What are you laughing at?”
Xu Ruolan scolded playfully, waving her hand to lightly smack Ning Fan.
Ning Fan stopped laughing, his gaze straightforward, and with a hint of anticipation in his voice, he said, “I’m just looking forward to our future, that’s all.”
He also found it amusing that Xu Ruolan suddenly worried about the possibility of pregnancy.
“I’m asking you seriously!”
“Then let’s prepare for it, set up seven or eight hundred tables, and let’s get married!”
Ning Fan declared boldly, and since they were already engaged, there was no issue with saying so.
But Xu Ruolan was a bit shy, “Who wants to marry you?”
“Who else could it be but you?
Once you’ve fallen into the clutches of this Grand Duke, did you really think you could still run away?”
Ning Fan smiled wickedly, exuding the aura of a Great Demon King.
Xu Ruolan snorted softly, ignoring Ning Fan, and murmured to herself, “Getting married, huh?
Seems like a good idea…”
“Hehehe, little girl, what are you muttering about?”
“Nothing at all!”
