Leng Jinpeng’s words stunned Chi Yang.
He knew that Ye Hai was someone with deep thoughts, but he did not expect Ye Hai to really want to murder Leng Qirui.
However, Zhong Nuannuan looked unfazed as if she expected it. She smiled and said, “Although this is very infuriating, it’s still worth it to let Uncle Leng see Ye Hai’s true colors. At least Leng Qirui won’t be harmed by Ye Hai in the future.”
Leng Jinpeng sighed. “Yes.”
“Ask whatever you want to ask. Are you a soldier? Why are you beating around the bush for? Lil Leng, you’ve changed!”
Leng Jinpeng, “…”
The old master beside him was so anxious that his mouth was about to bubble. He did not even enjoy his meal to the fullest, but when they finally got down to business, Leng Jinpeng brought the topic to his son.
“What I wanted to say was that when I went to thank Selina today, I found out that Selina was actually the daughter of Duke Eton of Luntan. Although she’s adopted, Duke Eton likes her very much. He didn’t just include her in his genealogy book, but he has also announced that he’ll give his inheritance to Selina and her younger sister. I knew that Selina is close to you. I also know that you, Selina, and Aiden grew up in an orphanage abroad.
“This means that what Chi Yang said about you in the marriage report is wrong. Although you are Zhong Kuijun’s daughter, you’ve been through extraordinary things. You also know that Chi Yang is an extremely important and outstanding officer in our army. I am happy to see the marriage between the two of you. However, you also know that since I am the commander-in-chief and Chi Yang’s direct supervisor, I have to fulfill my duty and investigate his fiancée’s identity. Therefore, I hope that you can tell me the truth.”
Afraid that Zhong Nuannuan would be put in a spot, Leng Jinpeng added—
“Everyone here is trustworthy. If you’re facing any difficulties, we’ll try our best to help you.”
Chi Yang was about to fly into a rage when he heard all those things about Zhong Nuannuan. However, he withdrew his usual austere expression and held Zhong Nuannuan’s hand as he said gently, “Don’t worry, we’re already a family. No matter what, we’ll be together!”
Zhong Nuannuan, “…”
Big Brother Chi Yang’s words struck her head over heels, but it was clear that her heart was filled with happiness.
This kind of happiness was something that she was unable to achieve even after spending her entire life in its pursuit.
Money was important to a mercenary, but when you realized that you only had money left in your life, how bland would that life be?
Therefore, in her previous life, she pursued kinship so desperately. If it were not for the fact that Jiang Shuwan and Zhong Kuijun still managed to disappoint Nuannuan although they tried so hard to hide it, she would have given in to their love for money and spoil them with money they never imagined seeing.
However, what she did not get in her previous life, she still got it in this life.
Chi Yang was not only her lover but also his family!
“Little Girl, I’m also your family. If there’s anything, I’ll definitely stand on your side.” That was all he said.
Seeing the determination in the old master’s eyes, Zhong Nuannuan’s eyes became wet again.
Old Master was such a protective person.
He was a very upright man, and he was very picky when it came to judging people. However, once he had decided, he would treat you very, very well!
In her previous life, even if she did not perform well, once the Old Master approved her, he would still love and protect her like how a real grandfather would. However, from time to time, he would sigh and let her know that he still felt a little regretful about this marriage.
However, in this life, she would not allow Grandpa to have any regrets.
