"I’m sorry, sister, for making you worry about me." Lin Yue apologized with a red face, feeling guilty.
Ningwan pretended to be angry and said, "Knowing I would worry, you’re still so impulsive. You’re fifteen, not five. Do you think that by doing this, you’ll vent my anger?"
"Sister, trust me, I’m still too young and inexperienced now. When I grow up, I will definitely protect you, I definitely..."
Lin Yue explained eagerly and excitedly.
Thousands of words swirled in his chest, but he didn’t know what to say.
Besides these words, he seems unable to say anything else.
Ningwan didn’t notice his abnormality, simply thinking he was being childish, interrupted him: "Alright, sister knows you’re doing it for her. But as I said, I’ll handle these matters myself. You can’t stay at the Zhan Family anymore, so pack your things, I’ll find a place for you to live outside. From now on, please don’t be so impulsive."
"He wants to kick me out?" Lin Yue angrily clenched his fists.
Ningwan said, "You’re so disrespectful to his confidante, isn’t it logical for him to kick you out? Not beating you is already lenient. Anyway, now you are the Lin Family’s Young Master, you don’t have to worry about going out and not being able to eat or wear properly. So it doesn’t matter where you live, don’t make a fuss."
"I’m sorry, sister, I must have caused you a lot of grievances." Lin Yue lowered his head guiltily.
Ningwan said, "Indeed, I’ve endured a lot. Originally, he wanted to send you abroad, but I begged him to let go of that thought."
"Sister, I don’t want to go abroad, I don’t want to leave you."
Upon hearing about going abroad, Lin Yue panicked and tightly hugged her.
Not far away, Zhan Hanjue watched this scene with deep eyes.
Ningwan patted his back to comfort him: "Don’t worry, he won’t send you abroad. I begged him, and he agreed."
"Yes, I don’t want to leave you and Ye Shao." Lin Yue said, feeling aggrieved.
Ningwan comforted him a few more words and then pushed him away.
This big boy hugging her felt a bit awkward.
"He, pack Young Master Lin’s things." Ningwan said to He.
He nodded and helped Lin Yue pack.
Lin Yue refused to live in the Lin Family’s old mansion, saying he didn’t like it there.
Indeed, the Lin Family’s old mansion, although large and magnificent, was the place where his father was murdered.
Also, it was the home meticulously arranged by the woman who forced his mother to death, no matter what, he didn’t want to live there.
Ningwan thought about it: "I’ll rent you a house, not too big, for you to live alone."
"Okay." Lin Yue nodded happily.
Ningwan worriedly said, "However, you’re still a child, living alone might not be okay. We’ll find a nanny to take care of you then."
"It’s fine, sister, I can live by myself." Lin Yue said.
"Let’s find a house first!" Ningwan didn’t want to argue this point with him.
Kids these days have strong opinions.
Let him live alone for a while, and if he feels inconvenienced by no one caring for him, then it’s not too late to get a nanny.
After all, Ningwan wasn’t reassured about him living alone, so she asked Wu Taotao to help find a house.
Find one near her so they can look after each other.
"You’re so good to him, Ye Shao is not even your biological brother, he’s Ye Shao’s sworn brother, and yet you care so much about him." Wu Taotao said.
Ningwan replied, "It’s not just because of Ye Shao, he’s also Ke Yingying’s son. I promised Ke Yingying I’d take good care of him."
"You say, doesn’t this kid like you!" Wu Taotao joked.
Ningwan glared at her: "Nonsense, he’s only fifteen, don’t talk nonsense."
"What’s wrong with fifteen? I had a crush on our teacher at fifteen. You’re not in a teacher-student relationship with him, and besides, you’re not much older than him. A gentle, understanding, and pretty big sister, and a young boy who grows into a handsome man, just thinking about this plot is exciting."
"Why don’t you have a change of heart and give up Leng Ziqing, take good care of him. Maybe, there could be a raising game." Ningwan teased.
Wu Taotao refused immediately: "No way, I’m devoted to Senior Brother Leng, don’t try to break us apart."
Ningwan sighed, this girl was really deeply involved.
The two of them searched for houses all day and finally found one they liked.
The house wasn’t big, with two bedrooms and a living room, right next to Wu Taotao.
Wu Taotao laughed and said, "Next time you run away from home, come to me, my brother won’t have to spend the night in an internet café anymore. He can come to Little Lin Rui and live with Lin Rui."
"Are you cursing me to fight with Zhan Hanjue?" Ningwan said.
Wu Taotao said, "I’m not cursing you to fight, if you’re capable, then don’t fight."
Ningwan thought about it, she couldn’t guarantee that.
Also, every fight wasn’t initiated by her.
"Go pick up Lin Rui from school, let him see if he likes the house." Wu Taotao suggested.
Ningwan nodded and went to Lin Rui’s school with Wu Taotao.
However, when she called Lin Rui’s homeroom teacher, the teacher was surprised and said, "Didn’t your family pick him up already?"
Ningwan’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Who picked him up, teacher? When was he picked up?"
The teacher said, "An hour ago, the principal called him out directly, but I don’t know who picked him up."
"Thank you, teacher." Ningwan thanked the teacher.
After hanging up, her expression turned serious.
To alert the principal, she couldn’t think of anyone other than Zhan Hanjue.
Wu Taotao asked, "What’s wrong?"
Ningwan said, "Taotao, I have to leave now, I can’t take you back, you should take a cab home."
"Oh, okay." Wu Taotao agreed.
After speaking, Ningwan was already in the car, leaving.
"Madam, where are we going?" the driver asked.
Ningwan said, "Let’s go home first."
Zhan Hanjue took Lin Rui away, not sure if he took him home.
She had to go home and check first. Suddenly going to find Zhan Hanjue might provoke him.
On the road, she also called Lin Rui.
"Housekeeper Wu, has Lin Yue returned?"
The car quickly returned home, Ningwan called Housekeeper Wu over to inquire.
Housekeeper Wu said, "No, Young Master Lin went to school and hasn’t returned, it’s not yet dismissal time."
Ningwan frowned and immediately went to check Lin Yue’s room.
The luggage packed yesterday was still on the sofa, but when she checked his backpack, she found the ID and household register missing.
Ningwan’s heart sank, she immediately asked the driver to take her to Zhan Hanjue’s company.
The receptionist recognized her and didn’t stop her this time.
Ningwan went straight to the CEO’s office, just as Chen Tan came out from the CEO’s office when she exited the elevator.
