Huang Lili blushed with embarrassnt and forced a smile, "Luo Chao, why are you still standing at the door? Co over and sit down."
Once the misunderstanding was cleared, Luo Chao had no choice but to return and sit on the sofa. Ning Zongze apologized awkwardly, "Luo Chao, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier. I truly didn't expect you would turn out to be Brother Lu's son."
"I didn't expect it either," Luo Chao chuckled bitterly, glancing at Ning Wanxi sitting beside him, thinking to himself that this girl knew about it all along but didn't say anything. No wonder she was so shocked when he ntioned his father lost an arm saving a comrade; she really kept it hidden well, only revealing the secret at such a critical mont.
Ning Zongze continued, "You heard on the phone earlier, your dad has given you two years. Both you and Wanxi need to work hard. I believe you can cure Wanxi's illness."
Another two years, Luo Chao pondered nervously, having been interacting with Ning for several months and unable to lt this iceberg. It seed impossible to fulfill the task even in twenty years. It looked like he would have to wait until the prenuptial agreent expired and have a peaceful breakup with Ning Wanxi.
Luo Chao knew his father's personality well and acknowledged his father's influence on him, wishing for a son to bring joy to his parents. Therefore, despite the arranged marriage with Ning, it couldn't change the outco in a year or more.
"Let's hope so," Luo Chao smiled faintly, feeling a bit bitter inside, never imagining that eting the in-laws would turn out like this.
Ning Zongze asked with a smile, "Luo Chao, where do you live now?"
Luo Chao hesitated and said, "I live next door to Wanxi."
Next door? Ning Zongze and Huang Lili were stunned for a mont before giving their daughter a peculiar look; they really hadn't noticed their daughter's boldness in bringing a man ho to stay.
Ning Wanxi's cold and pretty face rarely showed a hint of blush as she pouted, "Dad, Mom, why are you looking at like that? I let him move in because I hoped he could help care for Doudou. Doudou doesn't have a father and needs a man's warm embrace to grow up healthy."
"That's true," Ning Zongze chuckled, although Ning Doudou was adopted by Wanxi from abroad, little Doudou was incredibly adorable, and he liked her very much.
When traveling abroad, Ning Wanxi called her parents to inform them she had adopted a baby there, and her parents did not object, actually quite supported it. Given the uncertainty in curing Ning Wanxi's illness, having an adopted daughter as a companion was a good choice.
Ning Zongze looked at Luo Chao ambiguously and said leisurely, "Luo Chao, from today, move into Wanxi's room and sleep there."
Upon hearing this, both Ning Wanxi and Luo Chao were dumbfounded, and when they ca to react, they both shouted in unison, "No way!" Their reaction startled Ning Zongze and Huang Lili.
Ning Wanxi, realizing her slip first, blushed and thought resentfully that she couldn't let him touch her; he was full of concocted sches, couldn't sleep with him, or who knew he might force himself on her when he couldn't hold it any longer. What would she do then?
Luo Chao was even more disgruntled; sharing a bed with Ning was like being pushed into a fire pit. Last ti, she hid a pair of scissors under the pillow; if they shared a bed, the pillow might turn into a butcher knife, sharpening ready to cut sheep and pigs!
Luo Chao shivered involuntarily at the thought of Ning Wanxi wielding a butcher knife against him, absolutely refusing!
"What's wrong with you two," Ning Zongze was both amused and frustrated before sternly saying, "This matter is settled. Wanxi, if you don't agree, I won't recognize you as my daughter. As for Luo Chao, if you disagree, I'll have to call your father over, and I think he would support my idea."
"."
Although Ning Wanxi was cold by nature, she had always been a good girl from a young age, unable to resist her father's words. Moreover, Luo Chao didn't want to be chased down the street by his father wielding a kitchen knife again, so they chose silent protest.
"Ayun, give Doudou to the madam and tidy up Luo Chao's room and move it into the young lady's room," Ning Zongze said loudly.
Aunt Zhou, nad Zhou Yun, was warmly called Ayun by Ning Zongze and Huang Lili. Hearing the master's words, she quickly walked in from outside holding Ning Doudou and handed Doudou to the lady's arms when a black shadow darted in from outside.
Upon seeing it, Ning Zongze's eyes nearly bulged in surprise, looking astonished, excited, and ecstatic. Aunt Zhou promptly said, "Master, this little dog seems to have been brought in by Young Master Lu."
Brought in? Huang Lili was always a cleanliness freak and doubted Luo Chao would bring a little dog back, frowning, "It must be a stray dog that followed Luo Chao into the yard. The guards have no idea what they're doing letting stray dogs in."
Little dog? Stray dog? Ning Zongze loudly declared, "This is clearly a wolf, and you're calling it a dog? What kind of eyesight is that? Do you even know what kind of wolf it is?"
Ning Zongze's tone grew more agitated, almost excited, "It's the legendary Gray Wolf, a Huaxia national treasure that can duel tigers one-on-one!"
Huang Lili and Aunt Zhou were left speechless in shock, even Ning Wanxi looked incredulous. It was said the Huaxia Gray Wolf had gone extinct, yet here was one before their eyes, absolutely breathtaking.
As a retired soldier, Ning Zongze was very familiar with the Gray Wolf, having once dread of joining the country's glory—the Wolf Fang Special Forces. Every Wolf Fang Special Forces mber has a Wolf Fang Team, so wolves and soldiers are intricately connected. He paid attention to Gray Wolves but had never seen one, and today, he was seeing a little Gray Wolf before him, a feeling of life satisfaction.
"Luo Chao, where did you find this Gray Wolf," Ning Zongze asked excitedly, rubbing his hands.
"I accompanied Lanya on a trip to the Shennongjia Nature Reserve for archeology a few days ago and found it in the forest," Luo Chao didn't say much. If he explained how he defeated a pack of Gray Wolves without harming them, leading the Wolf King to send its cub to him, the father-in-law would think he was out of his mind.
Ning Zongze was taken aback, "You went with Xiaoya?"
Ning Wanxi explained, "Dad, I asked him to accompany Lanya, letting him take a year's leave."
