93: Chapter 93: Ear Scraping 93: Chapter 93: Ear Scraping Nangong Jie immediately ordered someone to prepare food and then walked over to Nangong Xiaoxue’s side.

Just as he was about to say something, seeing that Ning Nuan was still there, he said to Mu Yunlie, “Ah Lie, you take Nuannuan back first.

It’s getting late.”

Mu Yunlie was about to stand up when Nangong Xiaoxue said, “I came back today because I have something important to discuss with Ah Lie.”

With that, she looked up at Ning Nuan across from her and offered a faint smile, “Just let the driver take Nuannuan back.”

Ning Nuan was momentarily stunned.

She had just managed to see Brother Ah Lie and was looking forward to some alone time with him on the drive back.

But now…

She had heard from Grandpa that Grandpa Nangong was very stubborn.

In the Nangong family, everyone had to listen to Grandma Nangong.

Although she was somewhat sad, Ning Nuan obediently nodded, “Okay then, I’ll head back first.”

After Ning Nuan left, Nangong Jie immediately asked Nangong Xiaoxue, “Where on earth did you run off to these past two months?

How old are you, can you stop being as capricious as a little girl!”

Nangong Xiaoxue lifted her head and glared at Nangong Jie, “You want to scold me again, don’t you?”

Confronted with his wife’s icy gaze, Nangong Jie’s fierceness dwindled.

Nangong Xiaoxue continued, “Also, what do you mean by having Ah Lie take Nuannuan?

Don’t you know Ah Lie doesn’t like Nuannuan?”

“What’s the problem with just giving her a ride?”

“What’s the problem?

By doing that, Nuannuan will think she has hope again!”

Nangong Jie’s face grew stern, and he fell silent.

He had indeed intended to create an opportunity for Nuannuan and Ah Lie.

Nangong Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him, “You think Ah Lie is like you, cherishing every Yingying and Yanyan that throws themselves at you, which only encourages their presumptuousness!

Ah Lie, don’t follow in this old fool’s footsteps; if you don’t like someone, reject them firmly, without giving any hope!”

“You…

ah…” Nangong Jie sighed, “How many years has it been, and you still dredge up the past?”

“Many years have passed indeed, but your romantic escapades are still being talked about.

Just yesterday, I overheard an old lady saying she regretted not having the chance to bear you a child back then,” said Nangong Xiaoxue through gritted teeth.

Theoretically, the elderly in that nursing home were all destitute and would never have had the chance to meet Nangong Jie.

Yet just yesterday morning, she had heard an old lady reminisce about her encounter with the old lecher.

Nangong Jie’s face turned ashen, but his tone was light, “Ah Lie is still here, can we not talk about this?”

“Oh right, I came back to see Ah Lie, why am I wasting my breath with you.”

Nangong Xiaoxue turned her head only to find that Mu Yunlie was no longer by her side.

She quickly turned around to see the figure of Mu Yunlie already at the dining room door.

“Ah Lie!

Stop right there!”

Mu Yunlie halted, exhaling a helpless sigh.

His grandparents had bickered all their lives, seemingly never tiring of their quarrels.

Whenever they fought, he felt like his ears were buzzing with their endless bickering and all he wanted was to hurry away.

Nangong Xiaoxue approached him, “I’ve found you a match.

Go meet her tomorrow night.”

Mu Yunlie froze, turned to Nangong Xiaoxue, and wore a puzzled expression.

“Nine o’clock tomorrow night, Mingde Hotel, private room ‘Two hearts beating as one’.

Got it?” Nangong Xiaoxue looked serious, “I’m telling you, even if aliens invade tomorrow night, you must go.”

“Ah Lie and Nuannuan’s pre-arranged betrothal hasn’t even been called off yet, and you’re setting him up with someone else?” Nangong Jie, rubbing his temple in frustration, asked, “Whose daughter is she?

What does she do?

How old is she?”
