2119: Xinyao Called and Said She Wanted to Come Over and Play

Xinyao Called and Said She Wanted to Come Over and Play

Nan Tianyi hadn't seen his wife reveal her youthful side for a long time. Her high-spirited confidence was the reason he was so obsessed with her back then.0

His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Qiao Nian. He didn't say much and only reminded her, "Nian Nian, come over and play when you're free. Your Aunt Xie isn't bragging. If you don't understand anything or encounter a problem in the research institute, you can look for her."

"I know." Qiao Nian accepted the books.

Coincidentally, her cell phone lit up at this moment. It was a message from Ye Wangchuan, saying that he was waiting for her outside.

Qiao Nian heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the message. She stood up and said to the two of them, "Auntie Xie, Uncle Nan, my friend is waiting for me outside. I'll leave first."

"I'll send you out." Xie Tingyun wanted to ask her to stay for a while longer, but she was worried that Qiao Nian would be too tired, so she didn't say anything. She stood up and wanted to send her off.

Qiao Nian knew that she was weak. She picked up her bag with one hand and held the books with the other. She stopped Xie Tingyun and said, "Aunt Xie, I'll visit you another day."

Xie Tingyun still wanted to say something.

Qiao Nian's clear eyes were exquisite and bright. She looked at her and seemed to sigh, but she still compromised. "About that matter… I'll consider it carefully."

Xie Tingyun's eyes instantly lit up. She grabbed her arm tightly, unable to hide her excitement. "Yes, yes, take your time to consider. There's no hurry. I'm not in a hurry."

Qiao Nian really didn't know how to deal with this enthusiastic elder. After saying goodbye to Nan Tianyi, she waved at Xie Tingyun and left the manor.

Xie Tingyun grabbed her clothes and coughed softly as the girl's back gradually disappeared in front of her.

She asked worriedly, "Do you think we're too anxious? I'm afraid Nian Nian will feel pressured."

Nan Tianyi helped her in and comforted her gently. "Nian Nian is very smart. She should know why you're anxious."

Xie Tingyun was slightly stunned. Then, a bitter smile appeared on her pale face. "I didn't expect her to fall out with the Ji family like that. She's too stubborn. She's exactly the same as her Mom. She only sees right and wrong in everything and would rather break than submit.

"I'm afraid… afraid that the Ji family will do something to her."

Nan Tianyi patted her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice. "You just like to worry too much. We're still here. As long as Nian Nian is willing to acknowledge her family, those who want to touch her will have to think twice!"

With the Nan and Xie families' backgrounds, even if the Ji family insisted on touching Qiao Nian, they had to be wary.

That was the reason Xie Tingyun was anxious to acknowledge Qiao Nian as her goddaughter.

Xie Tingyun's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

"By the way, Xinyao called just now and said that she wanted to come over and play. You…" Nan Tianyi suddenly mentioned this.

Xie Tingyun was still wondering if Qiao Nian would be bullied in the independent continent with her stubborn temper. Hearing this, her gentle face turned indifferent. Obviously, she knew what Xie Xinyao's family was thinking.

"They're afraid that I'll acknowledge my goddaughter and leave everything to Nian Nian to inherit in the future. They probably want to play the emotional card."

"She's your niece, after all. You…"

"She doesn't have talent." Xie Tingyun sighed. "I thought of teaching her a long time ago. I've tried. She doesn't have talent in this aspect. Teaching her would be useless.

"As for what they want, if I didn't meet Nian Nian before I died, I might have given it to them. But I don't want to die now. I want to protect Nian Nian. I can't give them those things."
