Capítulo 1924: Chapter 1913: A House Visit
Nangong Ling didn’t reply and headed straight to the inner room.
“You ca last ti anyway. Make yourself comfortable, I’m going to change clothes.”
Nangong Ling seed to have just woken up, dressed in a bathrobe.
Ning Fan didn’t dare act at ease, sitting upright on the sofa with his spine straight, as if ready for a lecture from a teacher.
He looked like a little student waiting for reprimand.
Initially, he thought he’d have to wait a long ti, since won freshly awake tend to dawdle.
But Nangong Ling was different, appearing in just over ten minutes.
“After all, she’s from a martial arts family, not as delicate as ordinary won.”
Thinking of this, Ning Fan felt relieved.
“Have a sip of water.”
Seeing Nangong Ling with a cup of water, Ning Fan jumped up like he had springs under him.
Watching this scene, Nangong Ling, who hadn’t shown a good face, unexpectedly burst out laughing.
Ning Fan didn’t mind, taking the cup with surprise, “Auntie, you’re being too kind.”
“Auntie?”
Nangong Ling’s smile vanished instantly, “Do I look that old?”
“Of course not. How could that be?”
Ning Fan quickly said with a smile, “If I hadn’t known you beforehand, I would have thought you were a high school girl.”
“I’m not as exaggerated as you say.”
“Not exaggerated at all. By the way, have you used costics?”
“I never use that stuff.”
“Really?”
Ning Fan exclaid in disbelief, “Wow! Then you truly are naturally beautiful.”
Seeing his flattery working, Ning Fan enthusiastically praised, “Look at your skin, more tender and smooth than a young girl’s.”
Nangong Ling touched her smooth face with a grin, seemingly pleased with Ning Fan’s complints.
“Who would have thought Baby Hai’s mother loves hearing good words so much. Since that’s the case, I’ll keep it up.”
In Ning Fan’s description, Nangong Ling transford into a reincarnated Diao Chan or a descended Chang’e, the most beautiful girl in all the realms.
Nangong Ling, previously grinning nonstop, suddenly gave a cold smile, “Kid, talking so slickly, you must have fooled many girls.”
“You must have lots of suitors, Auntie…”
In the middle of Ning Fan’s speech, he abruptly stopped and added seriously, “Not true at all. Baobao is my favorite person.”
Of course, if he wasn’t afraid of being thrown out on the spot, Ning Fan wouldn’t mind adding the unsaid “one of” back in.
“You fooled that girl, which fooled too.”
In Nangong Ling’s eyes, soone who could say such nauseating things couldn’t be an honest person.
“Ugh! What’s nauseating? I’m naturally beautiful. At least the kid didn’t lie about that.”
Ning Fan never imagined that the seemingly carefree tomboyish Nangong Ling could have such a calculating side.
Yet, he had no choice but to muster his courage, “Auntie, I really didn’t lie to you. Baobao and I truly have feelings for each other.”
“Alright. Whether you lied to isn’t important. Anyway, you won’t have the chance to see each other again.”
Rembering her daughter’s ssage, Nangong Ling’s mood dimd. If Ning Fan couldn’t see her daughter, how could they, as parents?
“Yeah!”
Ning Fan sighed, then noticed sothing amiss.
He detected a hint of resignation in Nangong Ling’s tone.

“Resignation? How can it be resignation?”
Back then to appease Hai Qingping and his wife, Ning Fan roughly explained the situation.
Though it was inconvenient to tell the truth, he promised that Baby Hai’s disappearance wasn’t an abduction, she was safe, only needing to be away for a while.
Ning Fan, knowing the full story, could believe it.
But Baby Hai’s parents only knew partly, and as parents unable to find their daughter, how could they easily believe such words?
The reason Ning Fan returned to the Capital City this ti was out of concern that Baby Hai’s parents were still obstinately searching for their daughter, prompting him to make the trip.
But the remark Nangong Ling inadvertently let slip revealed that they had accepted Baby Hai’s temporary departure.
“It wasn’t my words that did it.”
Ning Fan could be certain of this since Hai Qingping and his wife didn’t have a good impression of him, rather the opposite.
In the matter of their daughter’s disappearance, how could Hai Qingping and his wife believe soone they disliked?
“Then there’s only one possibility…”
Ning Fan mused to himself, “Hai Qingping and his wife learned about this through other ans.”
Realizing this, Ning Fan asked seriously, “Auntie Nangong, did you find out sothing?”
Seeing Ning Fan’s suddenly serious expression, Nangong Ling panicked, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Even though her daughter had specifically told her to forward a certain video to Ning Fan,
Nangong Ling didn’t want her daughter to have any further entanglents with this scheming young man.
The especially sickly-sweet flattery from earlier strengthened Nangong Ling’s resolve.
Nangong Ling’s expression said it all, she did indeed know sothing.
Completely clueless about what to do, Ning Fan could only bow his head and plead, “Auntie, I know you don’t like , but please tell . I beg you.”
Nangong Ling asked another question, “You said you’d save my daughter, was that just empty words or will you take action?”
Ning Fan deflated, “Empty words.”
Promises not backed by actions, what else are they but empty words?
Hearing this answer, Nangong Ling looked as if she’d expected it.
“I’m no match for her, I could only watch her leave.”
The real reason Ning Fan gave up wasn’t the significant power gap between him and Feihong.
If Baby Hai was adamantly opposed, Ning Fan would risk his life to save her.
But the result was quite the opposite, Baby Hai insisted on going to the Earth Immortal Realm, even telling him “don’t act,” “wait for her,” and such.
It was precisely these reasons that left Ning Fan disheartened as he watched her leave.
Nangong Ling changed her forr indifference, speaking excitedly, “You said you watched Baobao leave.”
“Yes!”
“Where did she go?”
Seeing Nangong Ling’s anxious expression, Ning Fan shook his head, “Auntie, don’t waste your efforts, it’s a place we can’t reach.”
“Unreachable!”
Nangong Ling’s mind buzzed.
In their daughter’s video ssage, she advised the couple multiple tis not to search for her, saying it’s a place they couldn’t find.
“So you really went to find Baobao?”
Hearing this, Ning Fan almost exploded in frustration, “Auntie, am I really that untrustworthy to you?”
“It’s easy for to trust you. Just tell what that place is called.”
“Sorry. I promised a friend not to reveal that place.”
This was the only thing Chen Min reminded Ning Fan of before leaving, and he naturally needed to comply.
