Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2092 - 2081: Father-in-Law's Advice

Ning Fan was taken aback, slowly saying, "Teacher Chen resigned.""So that means we won't see Teacher Chen anymore."

Nannan was a bit down. To her, Chen Min was not just a teacher, but also a good sister, almost like family.

"Nannan, don't be sad. Maybe one day, we'll meet Teacher Chen again."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Has your brother ever lied to you?"

Nannan shook her head quickly, her little braids playfully swinging side to side, and proudly said, "Brother is the best!"

Ning Fan indeed hadn't lied to Nannan,

Chen Min is in the Earth Immortal Realm, and one day, he will go there too.

Not just him, all the girls including Xu Ruolan would go there as well.

With Spiritual Energy on Earth nearly non-existent, achieving Eternal Youth and long life is harder than reaching the heavens.

Taoist Cultivators also have a limit to their lifespan; only by becoming an Immortal God can they truly live as long as the heavens.

This was something Ning Fan had always dreamed of.

Before long, the car stopped at an open-air park, not far away from a mid-range residential area where Xu Chengyuan lived.

It was convenient to take care of Nannan and also to play chess with a bunch of amateur players, so he bought an apartment near Dawn Primary School,

The old man rarely stayed in the villa anymore, and sometimes Nannan would spend the night here.

As soon as they got out of the car, Ning Fan saw Xu Chengyuan taking a walk.

Nannan shouted loudly, "Grandpa, good morning."

Going by seniority, she should call him uncle, but considering his age, Xu Chengyuan had her change it to grandpa.

"My good granddaughter, you're here."

Xu Chengyuan ran over briskly, without even panting, which was impressive at his age.

Ning Fan knew the reason, of course; this was the benefit of taking a Qi Replenishing Pill, strengthening the body was a piece of cake.

"Unfortunately, I can't practice Alchemy anymore."

Just then, Ning Fan's eyes lit up, as if he thought of a great idea.

"I'll plan it out carefully when I get home, it should be no problem."

"Ning Fan, you're here."

"Dad, thank you."

"It's no trouble at all."

Xu Chengyuan hugged Nannan, beaming with happiness.

Every time he saw Nannan, he would think of the lovely sight of his two daughters when they were young.

"Nannan, have you had breakfast?"

"No, I want to eat with Grandpa, tofu pudding with fried dough sticks."

Xu Chengyuan laughed heartily, "As expected of my good granddaughter, we share the same tastes."

After breakfast, watching Nannan walk into the school gates, Ning Fan said, "Dad, I'll head back now."

"Okay."

Xu Chengyuan nodded, then called out, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

"Dad, what is it?"

"It's about those two girls at home..."

Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Dad, don't misunderstand. It's not what you think."

Xu Chengyuan waved his hand, cutting off Ning Fan's explanation, "This is a matter for you young people, this old guy can't interfere. But I hope you can do one thing."

"Dad, what is it?"

Ning Fan smiled wryly; this was the first time he was held accountable for something he hadn't done.

"No matter what the situation, you must treat my two daughters well. If you consider me as your father-in-law, remember these words."

Ning Fan said seriously, "Dad, I can promise you that the things you mentioned will never happen."

"Good. With your word, that's enough. Go on with your work."

Xu Chengyuan waved his hand and turned to leave gracefully.

Back in the car, recalling what Xu Chengyuan had just said, the more Ning Fan thought about it, the more something felt off, "What does he mean by not letting down two daughters?"

"Could it be that Dad already knows about me and Xu Xiaoqing?"

At that thought, Ning Fan felt a chill, a cold sweat broke out, but also a slight relief.

In that situation, not being cut down by Xu Chengyuan on the spot was already a display of his magnanimity.

Worried sick, Ning Fan had no idea that Xu Ruolan's agreement with Xu Xiaoqing was entirely facilitated by the assistance of the old father-in-law.

"Was he implying that as long as I'm good to them, I can..."

Ning Fan awkwardly touched his nose, realizing that one shouldn't be too shameless.

It was another trying day, lying on the lawn recharging, Ning Fan finally waited till Xu Xiaoqing returned, while Xu Ruolan and Su Meiniang were still working overtime.

Xu Xiaoqing was just an ordinary employee, and considering her personality, being able to clock in and out on time daily was already good enough.

"Xiaoqing, come over here."

Ning Fan waved her over, then motioned, "Xiao Si, go play by yourself."

"Xiao Si", short, easy to remember, Ning Fan hadn't called "Vivian" that in a while.

"Brother-in-law, what's up?"

As Xu Xiaoqing approached, Ning Fan suddenly turned and pressed her onto the lawn.

"Brother-in-law, what... what are you doing?"

At this moment, Xu Xiaoqing no longer had the fierceness of a little tigress, blushing shyly and obedient like a little kitten.

"Brother-in-law, can't hold back anymore?"

With that thought, Xu Xiaoqing was filled with shy delight, but then noticed that they were outdoors.

In broad daylight, in plain sight, this was not the sweet memory Xu Xiaoqing wanted.

"Can we go inside?"

"Go inside for what?"

Ning Fan glanced warily at the floor-to-ceiling windows, through which Vivian could be seen sitting on the sofa, with her twitching ears visible.

"I knew it, she's eavesdropping."

With that realization, Ning Fan pressed down a bit more.

"I really don't like doing it here."

Xu Xiaoqing desperately wanted to say that sentence, but worried that if she missed this rare chance, it would be a great loss.

"I'll take the plunge."

Noticing Xu Xiaoqing's increasingly rapid heartbeat, Ning Fan couldn't help but look back.

Seeing her stunning, blushing face, Ning Fan playfully tapped her forehead, "Stop overthinking things."

The slight pain helped Xu Xiaoqing regain a little composure.

"I'm not overthinking."

Ning Fan then realized their awkward position, hurriedly saying, "Sorry, it's all my fault."

Seeing Ning Fan get up to leave, Xu Xiaoqing felt a wave of disappointment, but also a hint of relief.
