Chapter 1009: Ning Chao who is preoccupied
"It's here!"
Ning Xi's cheerful words interrupted Chen Yuan's contemplation.
Chen Yuan looked up, and in front of him was an antique ancient locust wood gate, which was full of cracks that had dried over the years, carrying the breath of ancient vicissitudes.
Chen Yuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push open the Huaimu door, which seemed to be weak and full of cracks.
"Huh?"
Through the thick feeling of his palm, Chen Yuan was surprised to feel that this wooden door seemed to be crumbling, but it was actually solid.
After completely pushing the door open, Chen Yuan saw clearly that this wooden door made of ancient acacia was actually thirty centimeters thick, no wonder it could withstand the baptism of time, even if it was full of cracks, it could be immortal.
After pushing open the wooden door, what caught Chen Yuan's eyes was a courtyard made of bluestone slabs, the entire courtyard was three or four hundred square meters, Chen Yuan couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue, how much does it cost to buy such a big house, after all, the house behind the courtyard covers an area, but it is not smaller than the courtyard at all.
As Chen Yuan walked into the courtyard and saw the koi playing under the lotus flowers in the middle of the courtyard, and the clear water slowly wading out from the wrist of the palm-like sculpture, Chen Yuan concluded that this house must be carefully taken care of by someone, and he couldn't help but improve his judgment on the price of this yard.
Ning Xi looked at Chen Yuan's expression, and naturally guessed what he was thinking, so he had an idea, and said with his hands on his hips: "What kind of expression do you have?"
"Hiss~"
Chen Yuan gasped, this question is simply a nightmare for men all over the world, whether it is a woman of any status, asking this kind of question can make it difficult for a large number of people to die, whether the questioner is a wife, mother, sister or mother-in-law.
"Hehe, I just think my daughter-in-law is too good to me, and I am so moved that I don't know what to say!" Chen Yuan said with a straight face.
"Poof!"
Ning Xi saw Chen Yuan's solemn appearance, and instantly laughed: "Hahaha, Chen Yuan, when did your desire to survive become so strong?"
Chen Yuan laughed dryly and grinned: "Where is there any desire to survive, I'm telling the truth!"
Ning Xile had a dimple on his face with a smile, and after using his cherry lips to print a small lip print on Chen Yuan's face, he said sweetly:
"Seeing that you are rare to be so sweet-mouthed, I'll tell you the truth!"
Chen Yuan covered his face and smiled stupidly at the place where Ning Xi had kissed just now: "Wife, kiss again?"
"Think beautiful!" Ning Xi pouted arrogantly and said:
"Xuanwu of the 'Big Four Joys' knew that I wanted to spend the New Year in Mudu Town, so he said that he had a house here that the country had given him before, and he basically didn't live there now anyway, so he gave me the key, saying that this courtyard is regularly taken care of by the people of the 'Big Four Joys', so we can live as long as we want. ”
"No wonder, I'm still curious about where you got so much money, wife, it turned out that Lu Yi helped you, but it's ...... like this" Halfway through his words, Chen Yuan suddenly stopped, and looked at Ning Xi with a somewhat annoyed expression.
Although Chen Yuan had stopped talking later, it was obviously too late.
Ning Xi tilted her little head and blinked her confused eyes for a full five or six seconds before she said to Chen Yuan suspiciously, "You just ...... What did you say......"
"Uh......" Chen Yuan felt his head grow for a while, and secretly blamed himself in his heart: "How can you forget Brother Lu Yi's ability because of Ning Xi's kiss, it's really not worth ......"
The particularity of Lu Yi's name: Whoever hears Lu Yi's name will forget everything about Lu Yi, except for Chen Yuan.
Ning Xi saw that Chen Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, an angry look appeared on her pretty face, and she said coquettishly: "If you don't say it, if you don't say it again, I'll tell my dad, you are messing with flowers and grass outside, see how my dad cleans you up!"
Chen Yuan's face instantly froze, and if Chen Yuan, the hall master of the Yanhuang Martial Palace, could be worried about this, I am afraid that it would only be Ning Xi's small emotions.
Chen Yuan stood at the door of the living room of this ancient house, scratched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly: "I just said the name of a member of the 'Big Four Happiness', no matter who hears this name, they will forget everything related to him. ”
"Really?" Ning Xi put on a questioning face, looked at Chen Yuan's twisted facial features, and said in disbelief.
"Heaven and earth are proof!" Chen Yuan swore solemnly.
Ning Xi snorted at this time, held her head high and said, "If you let me know that you are fooling me, then ...... Humph......"
As he spoke, Ning Xi clenched his little pink fist and shook it in front of Chen Yuan's eyes.
"With your father-in-law covering you, how dare I talk nonsense!" Chen Yuan said with a face full of grievances.
"In this way, if my family Ning Xi is not covered by your father-in-law, you will be bullied casually?"
A familiar woman's voice came from the living room.
Chen Yuan turned his head to look and found that it was none other than his mother Guo Weilan who was speaking, and immediately felt that one head was two big.
"Mom~" Ning Xi called out sweetly, stepped forward to hold Guo Weilan's hand, and said with a smile: "Chen Yuan, he's joking with me, it's not a big deal!"
"That's good! If this stinky boy bullies you, you can tell your mother at any time, see that I don't break this kid's legs!" Guo Weilan said to Chen Yuanban's face.
Chen Yuan immediately cast a grateful glance at Ning Xi, because he knew that if Ning Xi hadn't come forward to solve the siege, he would inevitably have been given a "political education class" by his mother today.
After all, no matter how powerful Chen Yuanxiu is and how noble his identity is, he will always be just a child in front of Guo Weilan.
Ning Xi stuck out her little tongue mischievously towards Chen Yuan, and helped Guo Weilan into the house, and Chen Yuan followed behind.
"Ning Xi has seen Dad!" Sister Literature Network
As soon as he entered the house, Ning Xi greeted Chen Kexiong pleasantly.
"Hey, hey, it's good to come, come in and sit down, all the way from Penglai, tired, right?" Chen Kexiong smiled kindly.
Chen Yuan pouted and muttered: "What kind of parents are they, they don't care about me, I'm still my own......"
Chen Kexiong's face deliberately turned cold: "What are you kid muttering to himself there?"
"Uh......" Chen Yuan smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject: "I mean, why haven't you seen my father-in-law?"
Ning Xi hurriedly took over the conversation:
"My dad just set off this morning, I was busy in the morning, I only told my dad that he was coming to Suzhou for the New Year, and didn't tell him where it was, I'm calling him now to ask, it should be almost there!"
Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's still a daughter-in-law, if it weren't for my daughter-in-law who was willing to protect me, I'm afraid this family would have no status for me a long time ago......"
Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Yuan also understood that Guo Weilan and Chen Kexiong were so oriented towards Ning Xi for the sake of Chen Yuan's good, after all, only if they and Ning Xi were of the same mind, Chen Yuan would not be embarrassed in the middle, let alone have any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Chen Yuan thought about it, Ning Xi had already taken out the psionic phone and dialed Ning Chao's phone number:
"Hey~ Dad, where are you now?"
A slightly noisy voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's Xi'er, I just got off the plane, and I'm at the exit of Xiwu Airport, where is your specific place, I'll take a taxi over now." ”
"Just get off the plane, we're in Mudu Town now, you can take a psionic taxi, and you can get there in twenty minutes." ”
Ning Xi said happily, after all, since the last engagement, he hadn't seen his father Ning Chao for half a year.
But after Ning Xi finished speaking, there was no reaction from the other side.
"Hey, Dad, can you hear me?" Ning Xi asked again.
But he still didn't get Ning Chao's reply, and only the various voices of the noisy crowd at the airport came to Ning Xi's ears, but Ning Chao's reply could not be heard.
"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"
Ning Xi didn't want to say a few words without giving up, but she heard the sound of a broken line from the other end of the phone.
When Ning Xi called again, a voice came from the phone that he was not in the service area, and Ning Chao's mobile phone was obviously turned off.
Ning Xi looked at Chen Yuan with a worried face.
Chen Yuan rubbed Ning Xi's hair and said softly: "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, I'll fly to take a look, believe me, nothing will happen, rest assured that I'll wait here for me to come back." ”
After speaking, Chen Yuan stepped forward and hugged Ning Xi, and then flew out of the house, turning into a white light and shadow, and swept into the distance......
At the exit of Xiwu Airport, Ning Chao's face was extremely complicated, and he no longer had the joy when he just got off the plane, he found a remote public bench that no one cared for, and sat down heavily, even his backpack fell on the lawn under the bench without reaching out to pick it up, as if these few short steps had drained all the energy around him.
After a long time, Ning Chao said to himself:
"Alas, I really didn't expect that I would return to Suzhou again because of Xi'er, or go to Mudu Town, is this really the choice of fate to let me return here with Xi'er after twenty-one years?"
Ning Chao sighed deeply, and his cloudy old eyes were full of loneliness:
"But Mengmeng warned me before, telling me not to appear in Suzhou again, let alone go to Mudu Town, otherwise Xi'er may ......"
After Chen Yuan arrived at Xiwu Airport, in order to prevent Ning Chao from really having any accidents, he immediately opened the "Dark Film and Television World" and looked for Ning Chao's breath.
Ning Chao, who didn't know it, was still looking back to himself: "Mengmeng, after so many years, I still can't imagine that you will write me a letter of resignation......"
"Dad...... You're ...... here."
Chen Yuan's voice interrupted Ning Chao's memories, he hurriedly turned his head, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and after sorting out his expression, he yawned casually and said:
"Ha~ My phone is turned off, I'm waiting here for your kid to pick me up, I'm sleepy!"
Chen Yuan pretended not to see anything, and after picking up Ning Chao's backpack from the ground with a natural expression, he patted the dirt on the bag:
"Dad, I'm late, let's go back to Mudu Town now. ”
After speaking, Chen Yuan used his mobile phone to call an unmanned psionic car, reached out to open the back door of the car, and stretched out his other hand to make a "please" gesture to Ning Chao.
The muscles on Ning Chao's mouth twitched, but he still didn't think about how to refuse Chen Yuan, after all, everything had to have a reason.
After hesitating again and again, Ning Chao still decided to get in the car with Chen Yuan first, and then find a chance to solve the difficulties in his heart.
After all, although this is a relatively remote corner of the airport exit, it is inevitable that there are still many people coming and going.
Thinking about it, Ning Chao stepped into the back seat of the driverless psionic taxi and sat in.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan placed Ning Chao's carry-on bag, set the destination of this ride, and sat next to Ning Chao, after all, in terms of the internal space of the six-meter by six-meter psionic taxi, the two people sitting in the back row did not look crowded at all.
After the psionic taxi was launched, Chen Yuan was unusually silent all the way.
Ning Chao tried to open his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't make a sound......
