Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2093 - 2082: Not Welcome

This place, this time, this atmosphere, is completely different from the scene Xu Xiaoqing imagined."If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Don't go yet."

Ning Fan dragged Xu Xiaoqing and ran wildly until Vivian was out of sight.

Looking at the bushes in front of her, Xu Xiaoqing's pupils shrank. Here, though it can block views from all directions, it's still outdoors.

Xu Xiaoqing finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, I've never heard of you having such a fetish?"

"Smack."

Ning Fan slapped this imaginative sister-in-law again, then lowered his voice and said, "I have something serious to discuss with you, and I'm worried that Xiaosi might eavesdrop, that's why I'm doing this."

"Why are you afraid of Xiaosi eavesdropping?"

Xu Xiaoqing's eyes widened instantly, "Brother-in-law, you wouldn't have already with Xiaosi..."

Third smack.

This time Ning Fan used a bit more strength, leaving a faint red mark on Xu Xiaoqing's forehead.

"Xiaosi has treasures, you know?"

Holding her forehead, Xu Xiaoqing asked in confusion, "What kind of treasures could she have?"

"It's those shiny stones."

Xu Xiaoqing replied dismissively, "I thought it was something else. Just some jewelry, and some I gave her."

Saying this, Xu Xiaoqing suspiciously asked, "Brother-in-law, before Xiaosi came to our house, her accessories were plentiful."

Looking at Xu Xiaoqing's face puffed up like a bun, Ning Fan straightforwardly said, "That's right. I bought them. What else do you want to know?"

"That's not fair!"

Xu Xiaoqing shouted with resentment.

It's worth noting that even she had received jewelry from Ning Fan until now.

And jewelry between men and women holds a significant meaning, not something that can easily be given as a gift.

So Xu Xiaoqing continued to righteously question, "Why did you give it to her?"

"What about you?"

Ning Fan countered, just because he bowed his head in front of Xu Ruolan, he wasn't helpless against this little sister-in-law.

"I..."

Xu Xiaoqing was too embarrassed to tell the truth, she treated Xiaosi like a pet.

The jewelry she gifted was akin to toys like a cat teaser.

To have a mythical Western dragon as a pet, just the thought of it, it's such an achievement and a cool thing.

And the cost was merely some jewelry.

If Xu Xiaoqing missed such a lucrative deal, she wouldn't be a business family's offspring.

"Why are you not speaking?"

"I... this is a symbol of friendship between us girls."

"Then this is also a symbol of our friendship."

Looking at Xu Xiaoqing's unconceding attitude, Ning Fan directly said, "Don't pretend with me. I know exactly what you're thinking."

"Humph!"

Ning Fan waved his hand and directly said, "Stop with the nonsense. Let's talk about the important matter first."

Xu Xiaoqing hummed, "What is it?"

"Have you seen around Xiaosi any kind of diamond-shaped pale purple crystals, with purple mist flowing inside?"

Ning Fan was talking about those top-notch Magic Crystal Stones that contain Rule Power.

Even ordinary people who don't cultivate, wearing such things year-round, would gain tremendous benefits.

For those who cultivate, it's like a Spirit Pill that can be taken endlessly.

Since the disappearance of Golden Cores, unable to perform Alchemy, Ning Fan thought of using these Magic Crystal Stones as a substitute.

Of course. This wasn't for his own use.

However, Xiaosi was extremely stingy.

Left with no choice, Ning Fan had to put his hopes on Xu Xiaoqing.

Given the current situation, Xu Xiaoqing might really have managed to keep a few from Xiaosi.

After hearing Ning Fan's description, Xu Xiaoqing reached towards her collar, then spread out her hand and said, "Brother-in-law, is this what you're talking about?"

"Yes! That's it."

Ning Fan asked in confusion, "How did you get it?"

"What use is this worthless stone?"

Xu Xiaoqing looked puzzled. She only knew that Xiaosi's pain in taking out these stones was akin to cutting off her flesh.

"These are extremely useful."

Ning Fan talked about using Magic Crystal Stones instead of Qi Replenishing Pills, but he didn't mention his Golden Core disappearance issue, so as not to worry them.

"So these worthless stones are so important."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan's mouth twitched.

If they weren't important, why would he tarnish his lifetime reputation by tricking a little girl into this?

"Xiaoqing, you're really impressive. I didn't expect you to already get it."

Ning Fan rubbed his hands and smiled, "It seems I really underestimated you before."

Xu Xiaoqing raised her nose to the sky, "Don't treat me like a kid from now on."

"No problem."

Ning Fan continued, "Xiaoqing, see if you can still think of a way to get a few more out of Xiaosi. After all, Xiaosi listens to you, there shouldn't be any problem."

Ning Fan added, "Don't think wrong. It's for your sister."

"What's the point in tricking? Xiaosi already gave each of us one, my eldest sister, third sister all have. Even Nannan received one as a gift yesterday."

"No way!"

Ning Fan recalled Xiaosi's painful expression at last night's banquet.

It turns out that yesterday's gluttony was all about using food to cope with the pain.

"When did this happen?"

"Just a few days ago. Xiaosi said she wanted to give us a gift, then the eldest sister got a goldsmith to make the stones into jewelry."

Looking at Xu Xiaoqing's hand, a platinum necklace, with an egg-sized stone embedded at the pendant.

Ning Fan thought somewhat jealously, "Wearing it on the neck, won't it feel heavy?"

Immediately, Ning Fan was heartbroken, "Why on earth don't I have one?"

"Huh!"

This piqued Xu Xiaoqing's curiosity, "Brother-in-law, you don't have one? Did Xiaosi not give you one?"

"Isn't it obvious, if I had one I would've taken it out already."

"Hehe..."

Seeing Ning Fan's frustrated look, Xu Xiaoqing couldn't stop laughing with her mouth covered.

"Xiao...si."

At the utterance of the first word, Ning Fan vanished from his spot.

By the time the second word was spoken, he had already appeared in the living room.

Seeing Ning Fan suddenly appear, Xiaosi was startled, almost falling off the sofa.

"What's up?"

After speaking, Xiaosi turned her head to watch TV, completely ignoring Ning Fan's angry expression.

Ning Fan questioned, "What's the deal with those Magic Crystal Stones?"

"I gave them to them."

Vivian added, "If you don't like it, I can take them back."

Anyway, she was hoping she'd have the chance.

Even dragons have impulsive moments, giving away three in a moment of impulse pained her for a long time.

"Don't you dare."

After speaking, Ning Fan fell silent, a question popped up in his mind, "Why am I here?"

His original purpose was to make Xiaosi take out the Magic Crystal Stones.

Now that it's achieved, there's no need to question Xiaosi.
