Chapter 378: Chapter 377: (4 more updates)

This was the source of her sense of security.

If Jin Yu knew what his wife was thinking, he could pass out laughing.

To avoid making someone too smug, Xu Niannian certainly wouldn’t tell Jin Yu this.

...

Elsewhere, in the airy quadrangle courtyard, a man dressed in a black robe stood in the center.

He tilted his head slightly, his face wearing a smile, as the sunlight fell upon his chilling features.

"Jin Yu, dare you accept the challenge I have laid down?"

Ever since Jin Yu had captured Chi Jin, Ye Xiangtian found many of his actions were constrained.

Chi Jin was the biggest chess piece in his hand; losing it truly felt like a pity to Ye Xiangtian.

As for those strongholds that had been taken down jointly by Jin Yu and Jin Ruiyang, he didn’t care about them at all.

But now, something more interesting had come along.

"Xu Niannian..."

Muttering this name, his smile seemed gentle but emitted a coldness: "What a beautiful girl indeed, I wonder if bullying her would give a great sense of accomplishment."

After all, she was Jin Yu’s wife.

As for how to bully her and to what extent, it would depend on how much Jin Yu cared for this woman.

If, in Jin Yu’s eyes, she was merely a simple companion, then she might have a slim chance of survival.

If this woman was the wife whom Jin Yu truly loved, then, I’m sorry to say.

If he didn’t make Jin Yu experience utter devastation, he wouldn’t be Ye Xiangtian.

Soft underbelly, the most vulnerable thing for a man is his soft underbelly.

Ye Xiangtian never allowed himself to have such a weakness.

But if such a weakness existed in Jin Yu, he would surely be delighted.

That way, he could enjoy watching his arch-enemy’s sorrowful side.

The game is just beginning now.

That woman, he had reserved her.

Compared with tormenting the tough nut Jin Yu, he preferred torturing his wife.

At least this way, he might even have the chance to see Jin Yu begging pitifully.

Ah, just thinking about it gets the blood racing.

The man who had been standing behind Ye Xiangtian the whole time had a lifeless look in his eyes.

"Has Nuo Heng arrived?" Ye Xiangtian asked.

The man behind him replied, "He’s here, waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiangtian fingered his chin, turned back and asked the man, "Do you think Nuo Heng really has such a masterful medical skill that he can change a person’s face completely?"

After speaking, Ye Xiangtian didn’t wait for the man to answer, chuckled and turned to walk towards the house; well, it didn’t matter to him anyway.

Even if it were destroyed, it wouldn’t matter.

"Jin Yu, Jin Xiaoyu..."

Xu Niannian sat on the bed, repeatedly calling the name while watching the man attentively clipping her toenails down on the floor.

Her delicate face lit up with a bright smile.

Xu Niannian playfully poked her toes towards his face.

This damn man.

Catching her in the room in broad daylight, just to clip her toenails.

Totally bewitched.

As her toes poked his face, Jin Yu looked up to avoid them: "Stop it."

"I will not." Xu Niannian, rarely being wilful, continued to poke his face with a giggly smile.

Jin Yu "tsked," grabbed her small foot, and looked up at her with raised eyebrows, "Really want to make a fuss?"

"Really do." Xu Niannian stuck her tongue out at him.

Jin Yu’s eyes smiled: "Alright then, your husband will join you in creating a fuss."

With that, Jin Gouzi pounced, tumbling onto the floor with Xu Niannian.

...

In the living room, Jin Ruiyang sat on the sofa feeling extremely out of sorts.

Listening to the laughter coming from upstairs, he rolled his eyes in silence.

He felt he should make some kind of gesture.

Maybe, give the young lady a gift?

Wait, hold on...

Jin Ruiyang’s face suddenly turned to one of horror as he wondered why he suddenly had the impulse to give the young girl a gift.

Absolutely spooky!

Meanwhile, Xu Sisi returned to the Jin Family with the old lady and Xu Wentian.

At the Xu Family home, only Zuo Qing and the housekeeper were there, having lunch.

Suddenly, they heard a noise and Zuo Qing and the housekeeper looked up towards the door at the same time.

Xu Wentian walked in leading the old lady by the hand.

Xu Sisi bounced in behind the two of them.

The day Xu Wentian said he was leaving, he left, and neither Zuo Qing nor the housekeeper knew where he had gone.

If it weren’t for the Jin Family’s people coming over to tell them that he had some errands to run, Zuo Qing would have been frantic with worry.

So many days had passed before they saw Xu Wentian return, and Zuo Qing immediately approached with concern, asking, "Godfather, where have you been these past few days?"

On the way back, Xu Wentian had already explained to the old lady about having a goddaughter.

This was to avoid any misunderstandings on the part of the old lady.

So he cleared these matters up in advance.

To Xu Wentian now, his family’s old lady was of utmost importance, and nothing could be allowed to upset her.

So when the old lady saw Zuo Qing, she was not surprised.

After looking at Zuo Qing for quite some time, the old lady, who had lived half a lifetime, could see through most people and their thoughts.

The girl in front of her did seem to genuinely care about her family’s old man.

Consequently, the old lady’s attitude softened considerably, and she asked with a smile, "You must be the Qingqing that Wentian mentioned, right?"

She was quite a charming girl.

In her mind, the old lady compared her with her own precious granddaughter and felt her own was the prettier one.

Hence the old lady was even more pleased with Zuo Qing.

After all, who doesn’t show favoritism?

When they see an outstanding younger member of the family, they are bound to compare them with their own beloved child.

After the comparison, finding their own child to be superior, the old lady certainly felt secretly delighted.

Taken aback, Zuo Qing looked at the old lady and only then did she realize that Xu Wentian and this lady had come in hand in hand.

Of course, Zuo Qing couldn’t possibly think, like Xu Erhong did, that her godfather had found a late-life companion.

Everyone was aware of her godfather’s feelings for his godmother.

In an instant, Zuo Qing figured out who this old lady was.

Yet she was still shocked, "Godfather, you found Godmother?"

Xu Wentian nodded gently, "Mhm, Godfather has found your Godmother."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing immediately felt happy for Xu Wentian, "That’s great, Godfather! You’ve finally found Godmother."

Guessing was one thing, but having it confirmed made Zuo Qing genuinely happy for her godfather.

She had witnessed firsthand how her godfather longed for his godmother, and finding her was a joy worth more than anything.

She promptly greeted the old lady politely, "Godmother, welcome home."

Zuo Qing knew how to speak with proper measure and attention to detail.

She wouldn’t make others feel uncomfortable.

Her welcome home let everyone know she didn’t think of this house as her own to claim, and she also didn’t treat the old lady as an outsider.

The old lady’s impression of her improved even more.

Xu Sisi stood by Xu Wentian’s side, but because Zuo Qing’s attention was all on the old lady, she didn’t notice Xu Sisi standing on the other side.

From the moment Xu Sisi saw Zuo Qing, she recognized her as the beautiful sister who sat in Brother Ruiyang’s car that day.

She hadn’t expected her to be her grandfather’s goddaughter. Xu Sisi blinked her round, big eyes, thinking, so this is her Little Aunt?

When Zuo Qing finished speaking with the old lady, Xu Sisi happily extended her hand towards Zuo Qing, "Little Aunt, we meet again."

The sudden outstretched hand startled Zuo Qing for a moment, and she followed the hand to see its owner.

The hand’s owner showed off sweet dimples, her smile so wide that her eyes nearly disappeared.

The sweet smile invaded Zuo Qing’s vision, and she blinked in disbelief as she looked at Xu Sisi.

It was then that Xu Wentian remembered his granddaughter and softly introduced her to Zuo Qing, "Qingqing, this is Sisi, your second brother’s daughter."

In the past, Xu Wentian often talked to Zuo Qing about his three children.

So Zuo Qing knew Xu Wentian had two sons and one daughter.

After hearing Xu Wentian’s words, Zuo Qing’s smile stiffened for a moment, and her breath caught, as she struggled to ask, "Second brother’s daughter?"

Seeing Zuo Qing’s discomfort, Xu Wentian looked at her in astonishment, "What’s wrong, Qingqing?"

"No, it’s nothing," Zuo Qing quickly regained her composure, but Xu Sisi’s outstretched hand was still hanging awkwardly in midair.

Xu Sisi, feeling embarrassed, stuck out her tongue. Maybe she had been too abrupt, scaring her pretty Little Aunt.

Just as she was about to retract her hand, she suddenly felt a cool touch on her fingertips.

Looking up, Xu Sisi saw Zuo Qing smile at her and said, "Sisi, welcome home."

Xu Sisi was no fool; she could clearly feel the difference in Zuo Qing’s attitude towards her compared to her grandma.

Towards her grandma, there was genuine happiness, but towards herself, it seemed somewhat forced.

The sensitive Xiao Sisi kept her smile but dialed back her enthusiasm a notch.

"Thank you, Little Aunt," she politely said to Zuo Qing.
