Chapter 852: Lump Of Mud

Gu Mingzhe did not know that Nangong Qin had long suspected the relations.h.i.+p between Zhong Qianqian and Zhong Nuannuan. After all, for Nangong Qin to be able to develop the Nangong family into the number one powerhouse in Camino, he possessed keen observation and judgment, apart from the united support of the Nangong family.

Therefore, Gu Mingzhe was very happy.

That was because from this moment onward, he was now considered the grandson-in-law of the Nangong family.

“Of course. However, Qianqian’s currently in Jiang District’s detention center. If you wish to send someone over, you’ll have to go to Jiang District detention center.”

“I understand.”

That was it?

Gu Mingzhe was dumbfounded.

However, when he thought about how the Nangong family was known for being upright and honest, and how Zhong Qianqian’s self-destructive acts stirred up some negativity among the Nangong family, Gu Mingzhe recollected himself.

“Then… I’ll leave everything to Chairman Nangong.”

Nangong Qin nodded and left.

It was completely different from the eagerness he previously displayed.

When he left, Nangong Qin’s steps were steady. Every step he took felt like tramples on Gu Mingzhe’s heart.

After devising his strategies for so long, if Zhong Qianqian had not courted death, this matter would have been perfect.

What a pity…

Zhong Qianqian might have been born into wealth and status, but she was a lump of mud that could not even stick to the wall.

Zhong Nuannuan would only stay in Jiang District for another two more days before reporting to her training camp.

Therefore, after discussing this with Old Master Chi, both of them agreed that Zhong Nuannuan would be escorting the old master back to Emperor District.

Although Chi Yang’s matter had been settled, and his mission had been completed, there was still a lot of follow-up work to be done. Therefore, he would not be able to return to Emperor District for at least another two or three months.

Furthermore, Nuannuan would have to return to school for her final semester before sitting for the National College Entrance Examination after competing against students from Yamato.

This was Nuannuan’s final night in Jiang District before her compet.i.tion.

Chi Yang, who had not returned home for two consecutive days, finally returned at eight o’clock at night.

At that moment, Nuannuan was performing acupuncture on the old master’s thigh. When she heard Chi Yang opening the door, she was like a kitten that heard the sounds of her owner coming home. She skipped to the door and awaited his arrival.

The second Chi Yang flung the door to his house open after a long day of work, Nuannuan flew at a beeline toward him.

Chi Yang knew that Nuannuan and Old Master Chi were both at home. The reason he returned home was none other than to see his precious wife in Jiang District one last time before her departure.

However, he did not expect a koala bear to latch herself onto him the moment the door opened.

Chi Yang caught the little koala bear that was pouncing over as if he had received a treasure. His husky voice was filled with soft laughter. Finally, he said—

“Dirty!”

However, as soon as he said that, his little wife, who had never minded even if he was dirty, immediately planted a big, wet muack on his cheek.

Then, she even wrapped both her arms around his neck tightly. Then, the little girl pressed her face and neck—or anything that she could, at this point—against his face.

To be honest, his wife was really strong. Chi Yang felt like he was nearly suffocated by such a hug from Nuannuan.

However, he inexplicably loved this hug.

This sensation filled his entire heart with an unrelenting sense of happiness.

“Little Girl, how I’ve missed you!”

It was rare for Chi Yang, a stoic iron-blooded man who was horrible at expressing his emotions, to finally let his emotions lose after seeing his little girl. He blurted out the crazy longing in his heart.
