Chapter 726: Chapter 725 Let’s Play Together_1 Chapter 726: Chapter 725 Let’s Play Together_1 “But…”
“No buts.” She lied, “I have nothing to do with your uncle. Don’t call me indiscriminately.”
Although Huo Kewei was skeptical, he withheld his doubts, concealing them expertly.
“Alright, then I’ll call you Nan Fei. If my uncle beats me, you have to help me.”
Thinking of the reaction from the ‘jealous king’, Nan Fei instantly went weak at the knees.
Their sudden appearance, combined with the unexpected presence of Wei Qin, made the situation more awkward. So, they made small talk for a bit before getting up to leave. As they walked past Jiang Yang, they noticed that half of the mountainous pile of puzzle pieces had been stacked up, taking on the embryonic form of a castle.
Though nascent, the castle’s complexity was still evident.
Both of them kept poker faces, but their astonishment was palpable. On exiting, they ran into He Shasha, who had just entered — the proverbial small world.
He Shasha came in carrying several large and small lunchboxes. Seeing Huo Kewei, she became ready for a fight.
“Shasha.” Nan Fei hurriedly rushed out from inside, afraid He Shasha might impulsively attack him.
In reality, He Shasha had also noticed that the two men, both in bearing and appearance, were not ones to be provoked casually. But, fearing embarrassment for Nan Fei, she reluctantly gave way, casting a furious glance at Huo Kewei.
“Humph! Who are these two?”
“The one on the left is Huo Beijiang’s nephew, Huo Kewei. The one on the right is his good friend, Zuo Xinyao.” After finishing, she discreetly made a face, whispering: “They’re both dangerous characters. Best not to offend them in the future.”
“Are they really that impressive?”
Nan Fei pondered and then solemnly nodded.
Even though Huo Kewei affectionately called her ‘little aunt’, she still maintained her guard against him. His disdainful, cold gaze from the past life was etched deep in her memory. She knew far too well the strong sense of entitlement ingrained in these second and third generations of Imperial City, who grew up in their circle of privilege.
In her previous life, when her relationship with Huo Beijiang was on the rocks, and she demanded a divorce, she remembered Huo Kewei’s contemptuous, icy stare.
“Well, can’t help it then. I may not be smart, but I am certainly not stupid.”
Nan Fei was dubious – was He Shasha not aware that her nickname was quite famous?
The two of them carried their lunchboxes and went in. Nan Fei was so starved that she could barely see straight and didn’t bother to continue her conversation with Wei Qin. She went to eat. Only after having food did she feel alive again. She had locked herself in her study for three days without telling her teacher. She had no idea how worried her teacher would be.
“Knock knock!” A crisp knocking sound rang in her ear.
Nan Fei turned her head and saw Wei Qin holding Jiang Yang’s hand. The tall and short figures stood side by side in front of her, giving her a strange illusion.
If she was not certain that Jiang Yang was the little brother she grew up with, she might suspect that Jiang Yang was Wei Qin’s brother. However, thinking about the unruly Wei An, she felt an itch; such a brother was best left to Wei Qin!
“Sister Nan Fei,” Jiang Yang let go of Wei Qin’s hand, ran over to Nan Fei, affectionately holding her hand, and looked at her with anticipation.
“Sister Nan Fei,” Jiang Yang leaned back against Nan Fei, pointed at Wei Qin who was still standing in the same spot, and then pointed at himself.
Nan Fei roughly understood, “You want to go play with him?”
Jiang Yang blinked his clear eyes, revealing a face of disdain.
