【Snowy Evening Sunny Day】Chapter Fourteen
"I want to ask why you always pester Xue'er?" Baili Meng asked Xia Xiao unwilling to fall behind, and her face was not very good-looking.
"Xue'er is my fiancée. Our Xia family and the Nangong family have an engagement. I don't call her pestering. I call it Zhengda Guangming. Long Xiangyang is shamelessly pestering her." Xia Xiao was going crazy. When he watched Nangong Xue and Long Xiangyang walk together, he could hardly bear it, and he couldn't get rid of it at all because Baili Meng'er had tied him to him.
"You know that Brother Xiangyang likes Xueer, but Xueer never forgets Brother Xiangyang in her heart. Why are you still among them? Isn't this a humiliation?" Baili Meng'er snorted coldly at Xia Xiao, her tone was quite rude, "What's more, Xueer has told you that she won't fall in love with you more than once, so why are you so stubborn? Do you really love Xueer, or is it because your marriage between the Xia family and the Nangong family is more beneficial to their respective interests?"
"Shut up!" Xia Xiao was so angry that he signaled Baili Meng'er not to challenge his bottom line.
"I talked about your pain, so why did you get angry like this?" Baili Meng'er was not afraid of Xia Xiao. She sneered and said, "I know Xue'er very much. She must love Brother Xiangyang, otherwise she would not have been in love all the time. I know her better than anyone else."
"How long has it been?" Xia Xiao angrily told Baili Meng'er, "Can the things I did when I was a child count?"
Not only Xia Xiao was not sure, but in fact, even Nangong Xue herself could not confirm it. So when Long Xiangyang asked her about this, she couldn't say it and didn't know how to answer.
"Do you have no feelings for me?" Long Xiangyang asked patiently again.
"Uncle." Nangong Xue finally raised her head and said to him very seriously, "Uncle should get married, I will bless the uncle."
"Are you telling the truth?" Long Xiangyang seemed a little embarrassed to believe what he heard in his ears, and asked again, "Xue'er, you can't escape!"
"I don't." Nangong Xue took a deep breath, "I have always regarded you as my brother since I was a child. I also know that you care about me and love me very much, but can we stop talking about feelings now."
Long Xiangyang didn't believe that his estimate was wrong. He thought that Nangong Xue probably didn't understand what he was really thinking, so he didn't force her to change the topic: "The entertainment industry is quite complicated. If you are so simple, you can't protect yourself at all, or we can consider leaving this circle."
"I just entered the entertainment industry and have not achieved any results yet. If I leave now, I will be unwilling to accept it." Nangong Xue was a little stubborn. She knew very well how many people were jealous of her role as the heroine, and how many people wanted to see her make a fool of themselves. She didn't want to be the laughing stock of others, so she had to persevere.
Long Xiangyang frowned slightly: "Some of the situations you have now are not accidental, do you understand?"
"The more they want me to leave, the more I want to stay here! Otherwise, they will succeed." Nangong Xue was still unwilling to leave. She had made up her mind to stay in this entertainment industry.
Long Xiangyang knew Nangong Xue's personality, but she refused to admit defeat and finally said nothing, just said, "Okay, I will support you, but you have to promise me that if you feel that you can't hold on, don't force yourself."
Nangong Xue smiled at Long Xiangyang slightly: "Uncle, don't worry, I'm so strong! I'm the one who can't beat me to death!"
Long Xiangyang was not saying anything, but just lowered his head and sighed lightly. To be honest, Nangong Xue's current situation is not very good. Not only did she have scandals with Xia Xiao, but also Lin Moqing, including Lei Yuxuan, also had some connections with her, which made him feel a headache. Although he knew that these were all stolen and fabricated, his reputation for Nangong Xue was not very good after all.
"Okay, let's find a place to have a meal, don't think about these unhappy things." Nangong Xue smiled slightly at Long Xiangyang. She unconsciously stroked his eyebrows and said, "You never frowned."
Long Xiangyang held Nangong Xue's slender hand tightly and asked her very seriously: "Do you really don't want to marry Xia Xiao?"
"I don't want to." Nangong Xue said firmly.
"No matter how your brother or your dad forced you, you won't know how to do it?" Long Xiangyang asked again.
"I called my mom two days ago. She said that I could decide on the major issues of marriage. No matter who I choose, no one has the right to force me." Of course, Nangong Xue also wanted to be backstage. Although her daddy was very fussy, she still couldn't get over her mom.
Long Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief. He could hold on to any obstacles, but he was afraid that Nangong Xue would not be able to resist Nangong Feifan's coercion and temptation. Since she said so resolutely, she didn't have to worry about anything.
Nangong Xue pulled her hand out of Long Xiangyang's, lowered her head, and asked him deliberately: "How is the uncle and that sister Jian Jie recently? I heard that you are almost married."
Long Xiangyang didn't expect Nangong Xue to ask him such a question, but he chose not to explain, but just opened up the topic: "In the end, everyone is very busy. I have to go back to the office later, and you still have to work. Let's find a place to eat first."
Nangong Xue thought Long Xiangyang was just unwilling to talk to her about this matter, and she was also a little depressed because she didn't hear the satisfactory answer. Then she thought about why she was unhappy, and it was natural for the uncle to get married.
The two went to Long Xiangqing's house. Long Xiangyang had the key to Qingqing's house, so it was easy to get into the house.
"It's not good for us to come here, right?" Nangong Xue walked into the house and found that Long Xiangqing was not at home, so she felt that it didn't seem good.
"I said you are not at ease when you go to my place. I am afraid that your brother will come over at any time when I go to your place. So I can only be here, Qingqing won't mind." Long Xiangyang put the dishes in his hand in the kitchen and said to Nangong Xue, "I have already told Qingqing, so you don't have to feel embarrassed. Just sit on the sofa and watch TV. When I get ready for the meal, I will call you."
Nangong Xue didn't want to watch TV, so she walked to the kitchen, leaned against the door and said, "Do you want me to help?"
"No need, go and play." Long Xiangyang chuckled at Nangong Xue and put on an apron. It was a cute apron, a kitten style bought by Long Xiangqing.
When Nangong Xue saw Long Xiangyang put on the apron, she couldn't help but smile. She walked behind him, tied the straps for him, and said with a smile: "Qingqing is so cute. She actually bought such a childish apron."
"She's just a child who can't grow up." Long Xiangyang also laughed.
"I'll help you wash vegetables." Nangong Xue said as she was about to get the vegetables.
"Don't do it anymore, just wait and eat." Long Xiangyang signaled Nangong Xue to leave the kitchen.
"Are you afraid that I will wash all the vegetables??" Nangong Xue raised her eyebrows slightly at Long Xiangyang and signaled him to let him wash. She turned on the faucet without saying anything. Who knew that the water would splash on her face.
This made Long Xiangyang quickly turn off the faucet and look at Nangong Xue’s face again: “I told you not to wash it anymore, as it will make your face full of washing.”
Nangong Xue stared at Long Xiangyang and couldn't help but blush. She thought how happy it would be if her husband had also cooked delicious food for her to eat.
Long Xiangyang didn't understand what Nangong Xue was blushing, so he just wiped off the water droplets on her face with his hand and said, "As long as you are obedient, go sit outside, and you'll eat something in a while."
Nangong Xue nodded slightly. Just as she was about to leave, she was grabbed by Long Xiangyang again. He picked up a towel and wiped her hands carefully and gently, then said, "Go."
"Uncle really hasn't changed at all." Nangong Xue lowered her head and said, she blurted out because Long Xiangyang's actions just now reminded her of her childhood, and he treated herself so gently at that time.
Long Xiangyang chuckled at Nangong Xue and asked again: "Then do you remember that you were young and refused to eat, so I chased you and coaxed you to eat one by one? And you fell down and refused to stand up by yourself. You must let me hold you up, do you still remember?"
Nangong Xue was stunned. They were all beautiful memories. In fact, she always remembered them from time to time. It was only the lessons that Nangong Ye and Nangong Xuefeifan had given her very severe lessons that made her suppress her feelings. Her eyes flashed and she said, "I'll go out and wait for you."
When Long Xiangyang saw Nangong Xue running away, he just sighed to her back, thinking that she was not stimulated, and probably couldn't remember that she actually loved her.
The food was set on the table, and Long Xiangyang asked Nangong Xue to come and have a meal.
"It smells so good!" Nangong Xue picked up the chopsticks and picked it up. It was so delicious. She couldn't help but praise it. "Uncle's craftsmanship is getting better and better. What I love the most is the dishes made by the uncle."
"You have always missed the dishes I cook?" Long Xiangyang asked with a smug look on his lips.
"Yes, I've thought about it for several years!" Nangong Xue said the truth, and then she felt that she was too embarrassed, and said, "Actually, Meng'er has always wanted to try the uncle's skills."
"There will definitely be a chance." Long Xiangyang chuckled at Nangong Xue, served her a bowl of rice and put it in front of her, "Eat slowly."
Nangong Xue had no appetite at first, but Long Xiangyang's craftsmanship was so good that she actually ate two bowls of rice: "Uncle, you eat too, why do you always look at me?"
Long Xiangyang felt that watching Nangong Xue eat happily. He felt that he could get married. After waiting for her for so many years, he should have a result.
"What the hell are you thinking?" Nangong Xue found that Long Xiangyang was just watching him but not eating, so she felt a little uncomfortable, so she picked up a bite of the dish and put it in his bowl, "Uncle, eat the dish quickly."
"I'm thinking about getting married." Long Xiangyang said it very bluntly, and he didn't need to hide it from Nangong Xue.
Nangong Xue was stunned and immediately thought about whether he was going to marry Zhang Jianjie. Why was he so uncomfortable and sore in his heart, but he said, "Uncle should get married, he is almost thirty years old."
"Yes." Long Xiangyang nodded slightly and didn't say it clearly.
After the two of them finished their meal, Nangong Xue was about to wash the dishes, but Long Xiangyang stopped her: "You go and eat some fruit, I'll wash it."
"Uncle is cooking, I'll do it. Don't argue with me." Nangong Xue refused and signaled Long Xiangyang to go out.
"You can't wash dishes." Long Xiangyang smiled docilely, picked up Nangong Xue's hand, which was already stained with water, and rinsed it carefully at the faucet, and wiped it dry with a towel for her, "Go, I'll wash it."
Seeing that Long Xiangyang was so persistent, Nangong Xue had to go to the living room.
Long Xiangyang washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen room, then took Nangong Xue to leave Long Xiangqing's apartment.
"I'll send you back to the studio first." Long Xiangyang said while stepping on the accelerator.
Nangong Xue's cell phone rang. It turned out that it was Baili Meng'er called, so she picked it up. She only heard her say, "Xia Xiao is waiting for you at your studio door now. Don't you come out and have a cup of coffee with me?"
"Then where are you now?" Nangong Xue asked.
"I'm in the cafe." Baili Meng'er said dissatisfiedly, and said, "Xia Xiao doesn't let me follow him, so I can't help you with his troubles, so I can only inform you not to go to the studio."
"Okay, I'll go find you." Nangong Xue nodded and hung up the phone.
"Who are you going to find?" Long Xiangyang asked.
"I'm going to find Meng'er. She is waiting for me in the cafe. Just put me down here and I'll just go by taxi." Nangong Xue said as she was about to untie her seat belt, but was stopped by Long Xiangyang. "You sit down and I'll take you there."
"It's not very smooth." Nangong Xue murmured in a low voice.
"It's only a few roads." Long Xiangyang disagreed and kept sending Nangong Xue to his destination before opening to his company.
Zhang Jianjie had been waiting for Long Xiangyang to come back. She breathed a sigh of relief when she finally arrived in the office. She sorted out her mood, made a cup of coffee and went to Long Xiangyang's office.
Long Xiangyang is working hard at this moment, looking at the documents in his hand.
"Get a cup of coffee." Zhang Jianjie put the coffee on Long Xiangyang's table.
Long Xiangyang raised his head and said, "Thank you so hard for these days. The company has such achievements and you have the greatest contribution to your company."
"I am from King Group, and I am going to work wholeheartedly for the company." Zhang Jianjie said with a chuckling, as if she was a little reluctant to speak.
Seeing Zhang Jianjie like this, Long Xiangyang put down the documents in his hand, leaned against the back of the chair, and asked her: "Do you have any worries? Just tell me what you have."
"I have something to ask you for help." Zhang Jianjie frowned slightly, looking very embarrassed.
"What else can we do to help? If so, I have been asking you for help and just talk to me." Long Xiangyang looked at Zhang Jianjie with a smile, thinking in his heart what happened to her today. He was always generous in the past, but today he wanted to be so timid.
"I have a crush on an island, but the price of that island is too high, and I can't afford it for a while." Zhang Jianjie smiled bitterly and said, "But I think that is an opportunity. At least this island can bring some unusual value."
"What island?" Long Xiangyang became interested. His dad had bought an island for his mother before, and he found it very interesting.
Zhang Jianjie put some introduction information about that island in front of Long Xiangyang: "Look at it, I think it's very good, you can consider buying it."
"Next week is your birthday, right?" Long Xiangyang asked Zhang Jianjie while looking at the information.
Zhang Jianjie thought Long Xiangyang would not remember, so she lowered her head and replied softly: "Yes, I thought you forgot."
"I remember every year, how could I forget this year?" Long Xiangyang couldn't help but chuckled, "We have been good friends for many years, and we can't forget them."
"I thought you were very busy during this period, so I won't remember it." Zhang Jianjie said a little sad. She knew very well that since Nangong Xue came back, she had become very unstable. In short, it was different from before.
"I'm going to pay nine out of ten, and this island belongs to you." Long Xiangyang treated this island as a gift to Zhang Jianjie. He knew very well what she had done for him over the years and what contributions she had made to the King Group Company. Moreover, he has always used her as a shield for himself recently, and he was relieved. If it could be made up for it with money, it would be a great thing.
"No need, I will pay 50% of the money, and I will borrow the other 50% of the money. So the island will write your name at the beginning until I pay the 50% of your money, and then you will cut off your name. What do you think?" Zhang Jianjie didn't want to take advantage of Long Xiangyang, let alone she had some money in her hands.
Long Xiangyang couldn't help laughing at Zhang Jianjie: "What's wrong? You can't take it anymore? I won't let you pay any unnecessary price."
"Even brothers have to settle the score clearly, let alone I want to buy this island. If it is spread, I don't know how to make up the story between me and you." Zhang Jianjie said it seriously, and she refused to give in at all.
"So you are also afraid of scandals?" Long Xiangyang asked with a smile, with a sense of humor in his tone.
"I'm afraid of dealing with Xue'er's scandals during this period!" Zhang Jianjie said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Let's save worry. Don't add news to the entertainment reporters, let's let Xue'er misunderstand that our relationship is not very good."
Long Xiangyang knew that Zhang Jianjie's decision could not be taken back. Since she didn't want to owe her, she would do whatever she wanted, so she agreed: "Actually, you can't write my name, anyway, that island is yours."
"Just respect my decision." Zhang Jianjie smiled at Long Xiangyang, and then said, "You should prepare a gift for me specifically, and I will benefit more."
