Chapter 106: Eating Candy Together

"Hmm." Song Huan Yan nodded and said nothing more.

It just oddly feels like Nan Gong Jue is rather unlucky.

But it's still not a massive favor like saving one's life.

Nan Gong's second young master, because of a piece of candy—thinking about it, I really don't know whether to find it funny or a little bittersweet.

Thinking of that, Song Huan Yan suddenly looked at Nan Gong Yu and suggested, "Shall we buy a jar of candy to give to Nan Gong Jue?"

Nan Gong Yu was startled for a moment, seeming quite curious and fresh about this suggestion.

He said curiously, "He's no longer at the age where he wants to eat candy."

Song Huan Yan was also taken aback, then pursed her lips.

Perhaps people sensitive to finance are extremely rational, so they never think of such sentimental matters.

Especially between brothers.

Speaking of it, she and Nan Gong Yu also have a bit of a story.

He is a financial magnate, absolutely rational.

She deals with art, which requires a lot of sentiment.

Their careers are a perfect contrast.

But before Song Huan Yan could speak, Nan Gong Yu said, "Although it's not needed, I'll go along with your suggestion."

Song Huan Yan nodded, "Alright."

Nan Gong Yu also, for the first time, followed his own wife in doing something rather sentimental, which seemed quite interesting.

That was picking candy in a colorful candy shop.

The shop was filled with cute, innocent children, or very young people—perhaps high‑school or college couples.

Nan Gong Yu, a cold, sharp man with a clear King's Aura, stood in the shop and looked completely out of place.

Moreover, he had Meng Zhangfeng and several bodyguards behind him.

Standing in this candy shop, he was literally a "standalone banner."

Song Huan Yan pointed at several varieties and asked him, "Which one is better?"

Nan Gong Yu looked and said, "If you like it, we'll buy it together."

Song Huan Yan almost laughed, "It's not like I'm the one eating."

"Then we can take them all," Nan Gong Yu replied.

Typical magnate shopping mindset.

Song Huan Yan pondered and chose a jar that mixed several flavors.

It contained milk candy, fruit candy, malt candy; the colors were beautiful and the texture was excellent.

When the clerk learned it was a gift, they tied a bow at the bottle's neck.

They also attached a card with an official warm phrase like "May your life be as sweet as honey."

They packed the candy jar into a gift bag and handed it to Song Huan Yan.

Nan Gong Yu unexpectedly reached out first to take it.

Song Huan Yan was stunned, slowly raising an eyebrow.

The cold, sharp magnate who seemed out of place here claimed he wasn't sentimental, yet he was meticulous.

The bag was carried by Meng Changfeng; before Song Huan Yan could pay, Lord Yu said, "Changfeng."

Meng Zhangfeng pulled out his phone, "Young Madam, I'll handle it."

He quickly paid.

This candy shop was upscale, but the clerk was also taken aback by Nan Gong Yu's demeanor.

He hurriedly took the money and handed a single candy to Song Huan Yan, "This is for you."

Song Huan Yan took it and smiled, "Thank you."

The clerk only gave one candy because he thought Nan Gong Yu didn't look like someone who would eat candy.

Not to mention eating it—someone like him entering a candy shop is already a miracle.

After leaving the shop, Song Huan Yan said, "Shall we go buy some gifts for father and mother?"

Nan Gong Yu replied, "No need. Mother said we don't need gifts; we're family, bringing gifts would feel distant. She wants you to get used to coming home empty‑handed for dinner."

Song Huan Yan was slightly stunned, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

Qing He really is thoughtful in the details.

Good trees don't produce rotten branches, so Nan Gong Yu and Nan Gong Jue, these two brothers, clearly big men with noble lineage and the highest status, are actually considerate at heart.

"Alright." Song Huan Yan nodded, "Then let's get in the car."

Nan Gong Yu handed the candy bag to the bodyguard behind him and reached around Song Huan Yan's waist.

A bodyguard opened the car door, and the two of them got in.

The car started moving, and Song Huan Yan only then remembered she still held a candy in her hand.

She handed it directly to Nan Gong Yu, "You eat it."

Nan Gong Yu was truly taken aback this time.

There was only one candy, and she voluntarily offered it to him.

But he doesn't eat candy.

Before Nan Gong Yu could speak, Song Huan Yan peeled the candy wrapper and, with a slight tease, said, "Actually, you should eat a candy every day."

Nan Gong Yu raised an inquisitive eyebrow, "Oh?"

Song Huan Yan guessed naturally, "Your work is busy and tiring; would a bit of sweetness make you feel happier?"

A speck of light flickered in Nan Gong Yu's cold eyes—the first time anyone told him that a busy, tiring job could be made happier by a candy.

He said nothing, just pressed his Adam's apple.

Song Huan Yan peeled open the candy, saw he said nothing, and said, "I'm joking."

After speaking, she brought the candy to his lips, "Taste it?"

Nan Gong Yu still said nothing, but his eyes stared deeply at her, and he opened his mouth.

He originally… didn't eat candy.

He had no interest in candy either.

But now…

The only single candy, she gave it to him to eat.

The candy was placed in his mouth, sweet and fragrant.

"Is it tasty?" Song Huan Yan asked.

"Hmm, tasty." Nan Gong Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, "Sweet."

But actually he didn't like eating overly sweet things.

Hearing his words, Song Huan Yan laughed.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, eyes stunningly charming, skin milky white, hair jet black, even her eyebrows and eyelashes were dark.

High nose bridge, red lips, beautiful without makeup beyond compare.

Though she smiled, there was an inexplicable chill that bewildered the heart.

"If it's tasty, that's enough." Song Huan Yan pursed her lips.

"Unfortunately there's only one." Nan Gong Yu said.

Song Huan Yan was just about to speak; after all it was a gift, and if it were bought, she could buy as many as she wanted.

But before she could speak, Nan Gong Yu suddenly added, "Song Huan Yan, do you want to eat?"

Song Huan Yan was startled for a moment.

Before she could answer, her jaw was gently seized by the man.

Then his warm lips pressed against hers.

He parting her lips, pushed that very sweet candy into her mouth.

But he didn't leave; instead he wrapped his tongue around hers… together… tasting.

Playing like this "flower" was something Song Huan Yan had never experienced.

She only felt, "Hmm, really sweet."

On the Marriage Check he claimed no experience, Song Huan Yan believed him without doubt; he had already reached such a level, no need to lie.

So it must be said, the man's self‑taught ability in this regard was simply godlike.

After a moment, Nan Gong Yu finally released her and asked, "How does it taste?"

Song Huan Yan pursed her lips, "Sweet."

Nan Gong Yu kissed again.

Meng Zhangfeng's face in front turned red.

"Really knows how to play, huh," *cough*.

The Old Mansion arrived.

When Nan Gong Yu led Song Huan Yan into the Main Hall, Nan Gong Jue and Qiao An had already arrived.

Nan Gong Lin was also there, sitting with the two, seeming to be in great conversation with Qiao An.

Seeing the two, the three cast their gazes.

When Song Huan Yan and Nan Gong Yu married it was early autumn; now it had already entered deep autumn.

As soon as the two entered the Main Hall, a servant attended them, taking off their coats; the Main Hall's heating was comfortable.

Nan Gong Yu wore a gray vest with a sky‑blue shirt, a black tie, and gray trousers.

The conventional attire, however, highlighted his cool aristocratic elegance to the fullest.

Just by leading Song Huan Yan this way, the sexual tension was inexplicably maxed out.

The Old Mansion's Main Hall was also extremely spacious, with a soaring high ceiling, very large.

Yet as soon as he entered, one could feel the overwhelming kingly aura pressing upon people.

He and Song Huan Yan, hand in hand, walked at the front.

Meng Zhangfeng and eight bodyguards followed behind.

Qiao An's eyes were involuntarily fascinated for a few seconds.

This man, whenever he appeared, had an overflowing aura, tension maxed, great bearing, even when returning home, the same.

Truly… hard to ignore, also hard not to like, not to yearn for.

In comparison, Nan Gong Jue was gentle, scholarly, and dignified.

So he lacked that emperor‑like aura.

However, after seeing Song Huan Yan, Qiao An's complexion turned dark.

If Nan Gong Yu was a presence that caught attention at a glance, Song Huan Yan was equally so.

She wore a black tight sweater and black tight pants, outlining an excellent figure.

The black sweater's collar was a design‑heavy piled collar, giving a very lazy feel.

On her feet she wore white flat long boots, wrapping her slender straight legs, very sexy.

The white and black clashed into a stunning color contrast, very upscale.

Not to mention her tall slender figure, her jet‑black thick hair casually draped, her exquisite features wrapped in lofty chill.

Standing beside Nan Gong Yu, she was steadily held by his hand.

Song Huan Yan was not at all suppressed by Nan Gong Yu's powerful aura.

Whether it's his height or his cool temperament.

One can only say that the two standing together are a perfect match, a dazzlingly splendid pair.

Of course, Qiao An is unwilling to admit this.

So she instinctively made a sour face.

But after a moment, she adjusted her expression, daring not to expose her emotions easily.

The two went to the front, and Nan Gong Jue was the first to stand up, "Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law."

Qiao An could only stand up to greet as well, followed by Nan Gong Lin.

Nan Gong Yu nodded with inherent authority in response, then said, "Sit."

As he said so, he took Song Huan Yan's hand and sat down first.

After he sat down, Nan Gong Jue and Nan Gong Lin only then sat down.

Qiao An also sat down, her face showing a bewildered, curious expression, as if she were very curious about Nan Gong Jue and Nan Gong Lin's etiquette.

Then, eight bodyguards stood behind Nan Gong Yu.

A flash of extreme envy flickered in Qiao An's eyes.

However, Song Huan Yan was too lazy to look at her.

Song Huan Yan now only felt that whenever she saw Nan Gong Jue, she could see the green light on his head…

It was simply… a swath of sickly green, unbearably ugly.

If one says that Qiao An's involvement with Qin Zi Mo predates Nan Gong Jue, perhaps, to be fair, Nan Gong Jue wouldn't yet be considered "green."

But Song Huan Yan knows that Qiao An has already accepted the Marriage Alliance, and even after learning that it is with Nan Gong Jue, she is still with Qin Zi Mo.

Song Huan Yan is very certain of this.

Moreover, Qiao An is also plotting, viewing Nan Gong Jue only as a stepping stone for her upward mobility.

Song Huan Yan is clear about all this.

It's because… she had already installed surveillance in Qin Zi Mo's Bieshu!

It was the day after the birthday banquet!

So she knows everything, everything!

Including… earlier Qin Zi Mo had Qiao An delete the chat records, saying that later he would let Qiao An bear a child for her to raise.

Qiao An also pretentiously said she was afraid she would raise it poorly.

These… she knows them all crystal clear!

She has just been pretending to know nothing all along.

At this moment, Nan Gong Lin continued chatting with Qiao An.

But obviously, because of Nan Gong Yu's arrival, she lowered her voice, not daring to chatter too noisily.

It is evident that the Nan Gong family's hierarchy rules are very strict.

Song Huan Yan gathered her thoughts, still not knowing how to bring up the candy matter.

Nan Gong Yu then looked at Nan Gong Jue and said, "On the way here, your Elder Sister-in-law specially bought you a gift."

These words left Nan Gong Jue stunned.

Nan Gong Lin and Qiao An also seemed curious and looked over.

Nan Gong Yu waved his finger.

Meng Zhangfeng stepped forward and handed over the gift bag.

Nan Gong Jue, quite surprised, said, "Elder Sister-in-law… why did you buy me a gift?"

Nan Gong Yu replied, "Take a look first."

Nan Gong Jue opened the bag and reached inside.

When he saw a delicate jar, inside were colorful, various flavored and shaped candies, he was stunned.

He simply… couldn't regain his senses.

The candy jar was large, filled with many candies, as if fearing that a smaller amount wouldn't be enough to eat.

And it was very beautiful and high‑end.
