Chapter 712 - 713: Secretly Fascinated, Secretly Proceeding
Li Hui quickly returned to her room and went straight to Nangong Tiancheng who was reading in bed. She excitedly shook him, "Husband, husband, our Xiaojin is in big trouble!"
Nangong Tiancheng felt dizzy from her shaking and quickly stopped her, "What’s the big deal? Talk calmly, don’t keep shaking me."
"Wasn’t Xiaojin supposed to find a daughter-in-law for me? Do you know who it is?"
"How would I know?" Nangong Tiancheng rolled his eyes, "So many girls like him, I can’t possibly know all of them."
"It’s the fifth son of the Di family!" Li Hui said excitedly, "How about that? Scared?"
Nangong Tiancheng blinked, "Why should I be scared? If he could really win the fifth son of Di family, I would see it as his ability."
"That’s exactly the point!" Li Hui exclaimed, suddenly feeling a bit defeated, "I think it’s a bit difficult, you know, he was beaten up today! Emma, it pains me to see the fingerprints on his face."
"He got beaten up?" Nangong Tiancheng raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "He deserved it."
"What kind of words are those." Li Hui was displeased, "Is he not your own son! My point is, why don’t you go talk to Di Yan? We might as well propose the marriage directly."
"That’s not a good idea." Nangong Tiancheng frowned, going serious, "Xuanxuan is the youngest of the Di family, treated like a precious gem. Di Yan dotes on her a lot, plus she’s obedient to begin with. Considering our son, chasing after a younger girl isn’t the worst part, it’s his reputation, if I went to propose, Di Yan would definitely refuse. I suppose it was just a joke when you were talking to Fang Hao."
"That’s true." Li Hui admitted dejectedly, "That’s why I feel sorry for my son, of all the girls he could fall for, it had to be the precious gem of the Di family, sigh."
"Let him figure it out." Nangong Tiancheng also appeared helpless, then suddenly suggested, "Isn’t Nangong Ran very close with little Xuanxuan? Maybe she could put in a good word for him."
"That’s true." Li Hui immediately beamed, "Why didn’t I think of that? I’ll go talk to that cunning girl now."
"Okay." Nangong Tiancheng nodded, just as Li Hui was about to go find Nangong Ran, he stopped her with words that seemed well thought out, "You must not bring this up with Fang Hao, don’t leak anything, it’s a secret for our family for now. Besides us two, Xiaojin and Xiaoran, don’t tell anyone. You have to remind Xiaoran to keep it a secret too."
"Why?" Li Hui asked puzzled, Damn, why would her husband suggest such a bizarre idea, looking all secretive, making her so curious.
"Are you stupid?" Nangong Tiancheng looked down on her, "Our Xiaojin is currently at a disadvantage, so the attack must be done secretly. We’ll inform everyone once it’s all set. Otherwise, if you tell anyone now, forget about the pursuit, humph, I’m afraid that they won’t even let the two meet alone!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hui exclaimed, Damn, that’s utterly true!
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Hui quickly nodded her head, "We need to handle this matter covertly."
"Right." Nangong Tiancheng nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, well done. A wife worthy of training."
Then, he hummed a few lines of a song, "Only love you in the dark, secretly fascinated, but alas we each have our roles..."
Li Hui rolled her eyes. To hell with your secret fascination, old flirt!
Li Hui went to Nangong Ran’s room, where Nangong Ran was sound asleep, snoring like a pig.
