"Yeah, it is quite ugly. Do you know what a kappa is?"

Nan Shu touched its bald head and asked.

Iron Lotus's small eyes were filled with great doubt.

Meimei flew over as well, looking curious.

Nan Sinian kindly handed over his phone, and on the screen was the photo of the kappa he had found.

Iron Lotus: ...

"Waaaaah, I don't want to live anymore, I'm too ugly, waaaaah!!!"

Iron Lotus broke down and cried.

Nan Sinian's smile deepened.

Nan Shu actually wanted to laugh too, but seeing Tie Lianhua crying so sadly, she quickly held it in and gently comforted her, saying that it would be fine when the feathers grew back in the spring.

Iron Lotus's mood improved slightly after that.

Nan Yannian put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, wiped his hands clean, and watched this scene, the corners of his lips unconsciously curving up slightly.

"Xiaoshu."

Nan Yannian walked to Nan Shu's side and handed her a box.

Nan Shu was taken aback. "What's this?"

"new Year's gift."

He didn't have a formal relationship with her before, but now that he's her brother, it's perfectly reasonable for a brother to give his sister a gift.

Nan Shu took it.

Upon opening the box, a pink diamond bracelet came into view. Each pink diamond was crystal clear and dazzling. Even though Nan Shu didn't know much about diamonds, she knew that this bracelet was quite valuable.

"Thank you, Brother Yannian, I like it very much."

Meeting Nan Yannian's expectant gaze, Nan Shu swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of her tongue, and instead gave a sweet smile and accepted.

Nan Yannian's lips curled up.

"I'm glad Xiaoshu likes it."

After saying that, he continued to look intently at Nan Shu.

Nan Shu: ?
Having already discerned his elder brother's intentions, Nan Sinian covered his mouth and coughed lightly, "Um, brother, don't you have to meet with a client? Isn't there enough time?"

Nan Yannian's smile vanished instantly, and he glanced at him expressionlessly.

Nan Sinian gave a smug smile.

"Does Brother Yannian still need to meet with clients?"

Nan Shu closed the gift box. The bracelet was very pretty, but she didn't usually wear jewelry when she was working, mainly because she was afraid of losing it.

She was heartbroken to lose it.

Nan Yan nodded gently.

"Then we'll be going now, see you tonight."

"Okay, see you tonight."

Nan Shu replied subconsciously before realizing what had happened.

Does Yan Nian mean he'll be coming back to stay tonight?

in fact.

Nan Shu is a person with a strong sense of territory. She didn't have the means or the ability to care before, but in her previous life, she almost never invited her colleagues from work to her home.

But now...

Hearing Nan Yannian's words, Nan Shu felt no distance at all, as if it were only natural... that a family should live together.

"We're family..."

Nan Shu murmured.

Watching the two leave, Nan Shu came back to her senses and looked at the bright and tidy living room.

She used to think that she could live comfortably in the villa with her five little ones, but now the more she looks at it, the smaller it seems.
After tidying up quickly, Nan Shu went out.

With Liu Ming and his colleagues around, Tie Hanhan temporarily retired and stayed at home to continue learning skills with Lao Hui.

"Good afternoon, Miss Nan."

Liu Ming was sitting in the modified Hummer when Nan Shu arrived; he was leaning back in the driver's seat with his eyes closed, resting.

"Good afternoon."

Nan Shu got into the car, a little curious, "Brother Liu, where do you sleep tonight? In the car?"

So far, apart from the person who fought with Gao Mingyao, Nan Shu has not seen anyone else.

"Yes, we'll take turns on duty. I'll be on daytime duty. Mr. Nan has arranged for us to stay in another villa in the same complex, so they can come immediately to protect Miss Nan if anything unusual is discovered." "Another villa..."

Nan Shu discovered the key point.

Liu Ming, of course, knew that his employer was "staying" at Nan Shu's house. Realizing he had let something slip, he quickly changed the subject, "The weather is so nice today, perfect for a walk, hehehe..."

Nan Shu: ...

She had never seen such an abrupt change of topic.

However, Nan Shu didn't delve into it further; she didn't mind spending time with Yan Nian and the others.

“By the way, Brother Liu…” Nan Shu told Liu Ming about the bounty notice.

"How many are there?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming swallowed hard.

"Two hundred thousand."

Liu Ming: !!!
He regretted it. Why did he stay by Nan Jianye's side yesterday? Why didn't he chase after him then?

"Hehe, Miss Nan is so kind! Hehe, boss, please thank Miss Nan for the dowry she sent for me~"

My colleague's annoying voice came through the Bluetooth headset.

Liu Ming's lips twitched, forcing himself to suppress his heartache.

"Miss Nan, Wang Yang asked me to convey his gratitude to you."

Wang Yang was the colleague who fought against Gao Mingyao.

"You're welcome. If it weren't for him, Gao Mingyao might have already escaped."

Nan Shu smiled.

"Well…"

Liu Ming gave a polite reply, but his heart was bleeding.

嘤~
……

Arrived at the detachment.

As soon as Nan Shu got out of the car, she saw Shi Lei, who looked haggard and seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time. She was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Lei."

Shi Lei sat on the steps. Hearing the sound, he looked up, his eyes bloodshot. Clearly, he hadn't slept well all night after seeing the trending topic about 'Liu Yiran'.

The junior assistant, Liu Yiran, is actually Gao Mingyao, the 'deceased' son of Gaosheng Industrial's general manager twenty years ago?!
When Shi Lei heard the news, he was planning his next adventure when the administrator of the fan group suddenly contacted him and asked him to take a look at the group.

When Shi Lei clicked on the message, he found it was full of messages tagging him like crazy. He had to scroll through the comments to figure out why.

He couldn't believe it and called Liu Yiran, only to find that his phone was switched off.

Shi Lei still refused to believe it, so he bought a plane ticket for that night and flew to Hangzhou overnight. But when he arrived at the branch office, he was afraid at the last minute.

So he chose to sit at the door and wait for Nan Shu.

Meeting Shi Lei's eyes, Nan Shu already guessed what he was going to ask, sighed softly, and nodded.

"Brother Lei, it's just like what you see."

then.

next second.

Nan Shu saw that the originally tall and imposing man's lips trembled, his eyes suddenly reddened, he covered his face, and burst into tears.

"I... I should have noticed. Brother Liu... he doesn't talk much usually. I thought he was just introverted..."

Nan Shu listened to his intermittent sobs, sighed softly, and patted his shoulder.

"Brother Lei, haven't you eaten yet? Let me go to the cafeteria with you to get something to eat."

The only response Nan Shu received was a loud growl from her stomach.

Nan Shu: ...

The two arrived at the cafeteria, and Nan Shu ordered him a large bowl of beef noodles.

Shi Lei wolfed down his food.

In less than five minutes, he finished a large bowl of beef noodles, leaving not even a drop of soup.

"..."

Nan Shu ordered him another bowl, and Shi Lei wiped his mouth sheepishly, saying, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Nan Shu."

Nan Shu shook her head; she understood.

"Xiaonan..."

While waiting for his beef noodles, Shi Lei hesitated for a few moments before slowly asking:
"Can I see Brother Liu?" (End of Chapter)
