Chapter 2484 Side Story; Nameless Nie 17

“What did you call me?” Nameless Nie turned his head, his bright eyes filled with a terrifying shadow.

“Um… Ling Miao…” The man trembled in fright from Nameless Nie’s gaze. He’d never seen such a frightening gaze before. Even a ferocious beast from the zoo… couldn’t compare to one ten-thousandth of this.

“Nameless Nie, don’t make trouble.” Ling Miao shot Nameless Nie a displeased glance.

“Oh? Did I disturb you?”

Nameless Nie turned around and slammed the study door shut, splintering the wood in several places.

Ling Miao didn’t say anything to this, appearing to be deep in thought.

…

Back in the living room, Nameless Nie tossed his traveling bag on his back again and attempted to leave.

However, when he reached the door, he spun around and went back, throwing his traveling bag on the sofa again and sitting down on it as well.

“Little brat, what are you doing? What’s up with the big commotion?”

Auntie Ling asked Nameless Nie as she served the dishes on the dining table soon after.

“Nothing, I was just a little hungry. You took so long to finish, Old Ling—did you want to starve me to death?” Nameless Nie asked Auntie Ling.

“Look at you. It’s been so many years, but you’re still so impatient… Call your aunt and her boyfriend to come out for dinner.” Auntie Ling took off her apron.

“Okay.” Nameless Nie stood up and walked to the study, kicking the door open.

After saying that, Nameless Nie turned and left…

“Ling Miao… does your nephew… have some misunderstanding about me? Why do I feel like something is off?” the man asked Ling Miao.

Ling Miao smiled and shook her head. “It doesn’t have anything to do with you.”

Ling Miao stood up and straightened up the books on the desk before walking to the dining room, shoulder to shoulder with the man.

The man wanted to hold Ling Miao’s right hand but was dodged by her.

Aren’t you going to be mine eventually… The man thought bitterly.

At the dining table, Auntie Ling sat at the head of the table while Nameless Nie sat next to the man.

“Auntie Ling, thank you for your hard work in making this table of delicious food,” the man praised Auntie Ling with a polite smile.

“It’s nothing. Eat more,” Auntie Ling replied.

“Little brat, here’s some hare.” Auntie Ling picked up a piece of hare meat and placed it in Nameless Nie’s bowl.

“I won’t eat it. I’m friends with rabbits,” Nameless Nie replied aloofly.

“…” Aunt Ling said, “Then eat this. It’s boar.”

“No, boars are my brothers,” Nameless Nie said.

“Is your nephew’s head alright?” the man whispered, leaning close to Ling Miao.

Ling Miao: “…”

“Li Chun, how are your parents doing?” Auntie Ling asked the man.

“Thank you for your concern, Auntie Ling. My parents are doing rather well. You know how my family has too many companies, so many things require my father’s personal attention… My father said he’ll definitely personally pay a visit when he has time,” Li Chun said.

“Auntie Ling, it’s a bit hot. Can we increase the AC?” Nameless Nie suddenly interjected.

Before Auntie Ling could answer, Li Chun said, “I think the temperature is perfect.”

“Are you hot?” Nameless Nie turned to Ling Miao.

“A little,” Ling Miao replied.

“Mm, break up. You guys are unsuitable,” Nameless Nie said.

“What?!”

Both Auntie Ling and Li Chun were startled.

“How are we unsuitable for each other?” Li Chun questioned.

“The temperature’s unsuitable,” Nameless Nie answered.

“Heh, you really know how to joke, nephew,” Li Chun said.
