Chapter 95: Girls Can't Stay
Seeing that her husband was still insistent, Lan Xi interrupted, "Don't worry, I said it's not a big deal, so it's not a big deal. Otherwise, why would I have chosen you in the first place?"
"..."
Ning Xiangtian's eyes flickered slightly. He was silent for nearly two minutes before slowly saying, "Honey, I won't interfere with their relationship, but as Xiao Xi's father, I can at least assess the boy she likes, right?"
"Not just anyone can be with my Xiao Xi!"
Lan Xi was speechless. She rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Ye Fan and Xiao Xi are just fond of each other, they're not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. What are you so worried about?"
"I don't care!"
Ning Xiangtian was unyielding, his attitude firm.
Lan Xi's lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
She knew her husband's personality very well. He was angry right now, and there was no way to persuade him. She could only silently agree to it for now. If her husband went too far, she would step in and stop him.
In the study.
Ye Fan smelled the girl's faint fragrance as he rested his chin on his hand, admiring her beautiful side profile. He asked in a low voice, "Do you understand now? If not, I'll explain it again."
"I think... I get it now."
Ning Xi stared intently at the test paper, her eyes focused, her small hand picking up the scratch paper and starting to solve the math problem again.
Soon, she put down her pen, checked her answer, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, placed the scratch paper in front of Ye Fan. She tilted her head up and said, as if asking for praise, "Teacher Ye, check it for me?"
"You're so smart."
Ye Fan reached out and gently scratched Ning Xi's delicate nose, saying with a smile, "No need to check, you got it right."
He had already seen the girl's problem-solving process while she was working on it, and he knew whether it was correct or not.
"You..."
Ning Xi's face flushed red, and she lightly hit Ye Fan.
"What... what are you doing? This is my house, if my dad sees us, you... you're dead!"
"I'll be careful next time."
The smile on Ye Fan's face widened.
Ning Xi stared at Ye Fan and reminded him, "Don't take this lightly, really... it's not okay. You... you've been getting more and more out of line recently. We're just friends, not..."
"Not what?" Ye Fan pressed.
Meeting Ye Fan's deep gaze, Ning Xi shyly lowered her head and mumbled, "Not..."
The girl looked up and saw Ye Fan's amused expression. She said in exasperation, "Hey, are you doing this on purpose? You... you know what I'm talking about!"
Ye Fan spread his hands innocently, his face full of sincerity.
"Xiao Xi, you can't accuse me wrongly. I really don't know what you're talking about. We're good friends, just say what you want to say."
He emphasized the words "good friends"!
Ning Xi's eyes seemed to well up with tears. She bit her red lips lightly, her face full of conflict. "I... I have nothing to say, let's continue with the tutoring. We still have the last problem to do."
After saying that, she quickly pulled the test paper closer and focused on the last problem.
Ye Fan smiled, a dazzling smile that could make anyone fall for him.
Hearing his laughter, Ning Xi looked up. She was instantly captivated, her eyes fixed on him, a hint of shyness on her face.
Ye Fan remained motionless, sitting quietly on the stool, letting the girl look at him to her heart's content.
A blush crept onto Ning Xi's cheeks, deepening with time. Her star-like eyes sparkled with shyness and beauty.
After a long while.
Ning Xi finally came back to her senses. Realizing her earlier behavior and seeing the amusement in Ye Fan's eyes, she buried her face in her arms on the desk, wishing she could disappear into thin air.
Ah—
Ning Xi, what are you doing?
This is so embarrassing!
"Xiao Xi."
"Wh-what?"
"Was it a good view?"
"..."
The girl buried her head in her arms, her neck flushed red.
...
12:30 p.m.
Coming to the study, Lan Xi saw Ye Fan reading a book and her daughter working on a test paper with a charming blush on her face.
She glanced at Ye Fan meaningfully, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Lunch is ready, take a break, let's eat."
Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned. She quickly got up and ran to her mother's side, pulling her out of the study. "I'm starving, let's go."
Lan Xi stopped and said with a smile, "You girl, why didn't you invite Ye Fan?"
"He's our guest, how can you leave him here alone? That's not very polite."
"Go, take Ye Fan to the dining room on the second floor."
"..."
Ning Xi's lips parted slightly. She met her mother's gaze, lowered her head guiltily, and mumbled, "I... okay, I understand."
She forced herself to forget the scene that had just happened and turned to Ye Fan. "Let's go, I'll... I'll take you to lunch."
"Thank you for having me."
Ye Fan closed his book and nodded slightly at Lan Xi.
Lan Xi waved her hand and smiled. "Ye Fan, make yourself at home. Don't be shy, if there's anything you need, just ask me."
"Thank you, Sister Lan."
Ning Xi's face was full of complex emotions. She said weakly, "Mom... don't you think this form of address is a bit... strange?"
Calling him that made Ye Fan seem like he was a generation older than her, which she found very awkward.
If she followed this way of addressing him, she would have to call him "Uncle Ye."
Uncle Ye?
No way!
"Strange?"
Lan Xi knew what her daughter was thinking and said, "I don't think so. Otherwise, should Ye Fan call me 'Auntie'?"
"Xiao Xi, do you think I'm old?"
"..."
Ning Xi was speechless.
Seeing this, Ye Fan said with a smile, "Sister Lan looks so young, how can she be considered old? If you two went out together, people would definitely think you're sisters."
Lan Xi laughed non-stop and rolled her eyes at her daughter. "See how well Ye Fan speaks? You should learn from him."
Ning Xi secretly glared at Ye Fan and thought to herself:
"Flatterer!"
She blinked at Ye Fan and said with dissatisfaction, "Let's go!"
"Okay."
Ye Fan followed Ning Xi out of the study.
Lan Xi trailed behind them, looking at their backs with growing satisfaction.
She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably pleased with Ye Fan. It seemed like it would be quite good if her daughter found a boy like him.
Unconsciously, Ye Fan had already passed his future mother-in-law's test. Even he didn't know this.
Arriving at the dining room on the second floor.
Ye Fan nodded at Ning Xiangtian, who was sitting at the head of the table. "Hello, Uncle Ning."
"Hmm."
Ning Xiangtian responded nonchalantly. He pointed to the seat next to him. "Come, sit here. I have a few things I want to ask you."
Ning Xi seemed to sense something was off. She immediately blocked Ye Fan and stared at her father vigilantly. "Dad, can't you just ask him directly? Why does he have to sit so close?"
"..."
Ning Xiangtian's eyelids twitched, and he sighed inwardly with helplessness.
A daughter married is like water poured out.
