1853: Am I So Easily Tricked?

Am I So Easily Tricked?

After all, according to their family tree, she was technically Chi Yang's great-aunt. If Nangong Nuannuan wanted to be with Chi Yang, how could she not listen to her great-aunt-in-law's words? Even if she did not listen, she still had a daughter-in-law who was Chi Yang's mother-in-law. She was Nangong Nuannuan's real mother-in-law.0

However, no matter how much Lan Huifang glared at Nangong Nuannuan, Old Master Chi did not pay her any attention. 

Grandfather Chi looked at Shi Gen and said, "Then, shall head inside?"

Shi Gen was stunned for a moment before he chuckled and said, "Alright, alright. Old Marshal, please go ahead."

"Chi Yang, you came at just the right time. I have something to tell you. Can I tell you now?"

The person who had just come up to them, Lu Guangsheng, was the chief commander of the south-eastern division of the military base. He was also the husband of Grandfather Shi's third daughter, Shi Qingran.

Although the Shi family had connections to the military base, someone close to the Shi family, their son-in-law, was the commander-in-chief of a different division.

Originally, the Shi family and Lu Guangsheng wanted to return to the Emperor District military base or the northern division of the military base to be the commander-in-chief or chief of staff. However, Leng Jinpeng had suddenly appeared and blocked his way to Emperor District.

All of this had been arranged by Old Master Chi.

This was because Leng Jinpeng was Old Master Chi's favorite disciple. He was also the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Special Forces. Even though his body had just recovered and he could not return to his former peak, he had much more experience than Lu Guangsheng.

Lu Guangsheng knew that if he wanted to become commander of Emperor District or the northern division, Old Master Chi had to agree to it. Now that Old Master Chi and his father-in-law had left, he needed to make good use of the time to build a good rapport with Chi Yang. That way, he would be able to aim for a transfer.

As soon as Chi Yang walked in, he was interrupted. He was a little angry. He glanced at his wife, about to reject Lu Guangsheng's request. However, Nangong Nuannuan smiled and said, "Big Brother Chi Yang, if you have something to do, then go ahead. The Shi family is quite friendly. I'll walk around outside by myself in the meanwhile."

After saying that, she dug her nails into Chi Yang's palm.

Feeling the numbness and itchiness in his palm, his gaze instantly deepened.

"Then wait for me for a while. If you're hungry and want to eat some snacks, I'll bring some over immediately," Chi Yang said to Nangong Nuannuan.

"Yes, okay. You Don't have to worry about me."

Although he knew that his Nuannuan's character meant she would be just fine, Chi Yang still could not be at ease. 

When Lu Guangsheng saw this, he could not help but chuckle and say, "This is the Shi family home, not some bandit's den. What's there to worry about? With you around, Miss Nangong can't have any fun."

Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang both glanced at Lu Guangsheng at the same time. Their indifferent auras made him instantly feel like a fool.

He smiled awkwardly and darted his eyes around, waiting for Chi Yang to finish with Nuannuan.

"The grandma of the Pei family is not a good person. She might try something after hearing about your identity just now, so she can get something for the Pei family. Her daughter-in-law is Zhou Ruxue. If she uses her identity as her daughter-in-law to pressure you, don't give them face, okay?"

Seeing how Big Brother Chi Yang was afraid she would be hoodwinked, Nuannuan burst out laughing. She blinked twice and asked in return, "Do I seem like someone who can be so easily tricked?"

Chi Yang could not help but pinch her cheeks, which were bouncy and smooth. "I'm just worried about you."

Nuannuan's heart was full of warmth.

"Don't worry. I won't be tricked by them."

After all, she knew Big Brother Chi Yang's family and their allies. She had always used her connections to keep herself safe.
