Chapter 1236: A Long Wait

In the time that followed.

Nan Jingtian specifically sent people to keep a close watch on Cuiyu Garden, demanding that the servants notify him immediately the moment they saw Wang Jianqiang appear.

He strove to arrive at the fastest speed the moment Wang Jianqiang appeared, in order to host the other party.

But what she did not expect was that this waiting time was unexpectedly long.

This day.

After questioning the servants and receiving the news that Wang Jianqiang had still not appeared, and that Nangong Yu had also not left Cuiyu Garden once.

A thought emerged in Nan Jingtian's heart that made the veins on his forehead bulge.

This Wang Jianqiang has actually stayed at Yu'er's place for so long; could it be that he has been...

Scoundrel!

I value this little bastard so much, yet this little bastard is actually acting so recklessly!

"What's the rush?"

Qin Ran glanced at Nan Jingtian.

Nan Jingtian was so angry his face turned livid, "This Wang Jianqiang came to my Nan Family, yet he didn't even greet me, the Clan Head, and has just been..."

"At Yu'er's place..."

"He simply doesn't put me, the Nan Family Clan Head, in his eyes."

"How unreasonable!"

"Dad, don't be angry. If you say it like that, those who don't know might think you're the one in charge of our Nan Family."

"Wang Jianqiang already met with Mom, so it's not like he's targeting our Nan Family," Nancheng Kong comforted.

Nan Jingtian's expression stalled, "You brat, what the hell are you saying? Damn you, turning your elbows out, are you?"

"Alright, if it's your daughter's business, go find your daughter to vent your temper; why are you snapping at Kong'er?"

Qin Ran shook her head.

Nan Jingtian shrank his neck upon hearing this.

The tone of his voice dropped significantly, "Wife, you also know Yu'er's temper; how could I possibly talk to her?"

"How about~ you go talk to her?"

"For a daughter to keep a man in her own boudoir for such a long time, it doesn't sound good if it gets out."

Although Nangong Yu is very filial in her daily life and is basically reasonable when talking to the two of them.

But as a father, he clearly knows his daughter's temper.

If Yu'er gets stubborn, simply no one can control her.

Even he, as her father, would get scolded a few times if he went up to her.

He doesn't dare to go.

Qin Ran curled her lips, "What's not good about it?"

"That is Wang Jianqiang..."

"Wang Jianqiang is the strongest genius in our world; if it gets out, others will only be envious. Who would mock him, and who would dare to mock him?"

Nan Jingtian's expression stalled.

What she said did have some logic to it.

It was just that, well, it was said that way.

Having his own little darling taken away by someone else still made him feel a bit jealous.

He said somewhat unconvinced, "But... this is just too absurd!"

Qin Ran rolled her eyes.

"Did we get the consent of that place for our business back then? Didn't you still forcibly abduct me?"

Nan Jingtian's expression stiffened, feeling somewhat awkward, "Can that be the same?"

"It is indeed not the same."

Just then, Qin Ran's voice came again.

Nan Jingtian's expression softened, the corners of his mouth curled, and a warmth filled his heart.

Playfulness aside, his wife still understood him.

Before the smile on his face could fully spread, Qin Ran's voice came again.

"You are far worse than him."

"You wouldn't have the ability to stay for twenty-some days even if you wanted to."

"He could go back and forth a hundred times in the time you take for one."

As soon as the beautiful woman's words came out, the smile that had just appeared on Nan Jingtian's face instantly froze.

He subconsciously looked at Nancheng Kong, and after noticing Nancheng Kong's teasing expression, he felt awkward, "Ahem, the child is still here, what are you spouting nonsense for?"

Qin Ran curled her lips, "You have no ability yourself, yet you're afraid your son knows?"

To the side.

Nancheng Kong couldn't help but lean in toward Nan Jingtian, "Dad, you're usually so full of yourself, turns out you're so weak; you're a coward~"

"Get lost!"

Nan Jingtian gritted his teeth.

"Don't be angry."

Nancheng Kong chuckled, pretending to be concerned, "You should go find Wang Jianqiang; he is an Eighth-Rank Alchemist."

"And he has all sorts of strange Pill Formulas on him; maybe he can help you regain your vigor."

Nan Jingtian was stunned, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Immediately after, a trace of hesitation could not help but arise in his heart.

It was the son-in-law's first visit, and he was already rushing up to ask for this kind of Pill...

Was it not a bit inappropriate?

Thinking of this, he looked at Nancheng Kong and whispered, "You go and ask for it for me."

Nancheng Kong shook his head repeatedly, "I don't have any trouble in this regard; even if I went to ask, he wouldn't believe me, let alone give it to me."

Nan Jingtian's expression was troubled.

On the other side.

After hearing Nancheng Kong's words, Qin Ran's eyes also lit up.

However, upon seeing Nan Jingtian's "timid" appearance, her willow-leaf eyebrows could not help but stand up.

"Nan Jingtian, you're incompetent yet still obsessed with saving face, you useless thing."

"If you won't go, do you expect me to go?"

"This..."

Nan Jingtian's expression became increasingly conflicted. After a good while, he looked at Qin Ran with some hesitation, "How about... I trouble you, my lady, to go yourself?"

"Go to hell, I might as well just dump you and be with Wang Jianqiang instead," Qin Ran cursed loudly.

Nancheng Kong hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Mom, I don't have any objections, but my sister probably won't agree to it, please don't be impulsive."

"Screw you."

Nan Jingtian kicked Nancheng Kong to the side, then looked at Qin Ran with a fawning expression, "My lady, don't get excited, I was just joking with you."

"Isn't it just asking Wang Jianqiang for some Pills? No problem."

"As soon as he comes out of Cuiyu Garden, I will go find him immediately."

Qin Ran's expression softened, "That's more like it."

Cuiyu Garden.

Wang Jianqiang and Nangong Yu had just returned to the main hall.

Nangong Yu's expression suddenly shifted.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Nangong Yu's expression, Wang Jianqiang asked.

Nangong Yu did not respond immediately and took out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

After listening for a moment, her brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang straightened his expression and asked again, "Has something happened?"

Nangong Yu shook her head, "Nothing major, it's just that I had blocked my Sound Transmission Talisman earlier."

"There were dozens of messages accumulated in the Sound Transmission Talisman, all sent by my father."

"He wants me to go see him immediately; it seems there is something important."

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, "Since that's the case, then hurry and go. It just so happens that since arriving at the Nan Family, I haven't had the chance to pay a visit to Big Brother yet, so I'll go with you."

Big Brother?

Nangong Yu looked at Wang Jianqiang, speechless for a moment, "My mother has a somewhat eccentric personality, so calling her 'Sister' is fine."

"Why are you pushing your luck?"

"Ah? Does your father not like that form of address?"

Wang Jianqiang was taken aback and chuckled, "I was just afraid of getting the titles mixed up."

Nangong Yu shook her head helplessly, "My father is, in our family, considered... relatively normal."

"You can just address him normally."

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "I see, understood."
