NOVPUBAt that moment,
Chen Nan felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
Aunt Yan was naturally a woman of strong desires.
But because of his own caprice, she hadn’t lived with his father, resulting in her being a widow for over two years!
At that moment, he truly wanted to give his past self from two years ago a good beating!
Without allowing himself much thought, he quickly packed up his clothes.
Just as he was leaving the rooftop, dense rain began to fall, making a crackling sound, and the heavens and earth were enveloped in a curtain of rain.
The rain was like a melodious movement, continuing for over two hours before it slowly drew to a close.
After the rain, it was as if nature gently lifted its veil of gloom, revealing a freshly charming face.
In the community, the green plants appeared more vibrantly green after being washed by the rain, like pieces of warm, moist jade under the gentle touch of sunlight, emitting a captivating brilliance that made one unintentionally turn to look and feel joy.
In the sky, an incredibly resplendent rainbow gracefully stretched across the horizon like a dream, like a heavenly bridge leading to a fairyland, adding a mysterious and enchanting hue of fantasy to the post-rain world.
The air was filled with the rich fragrance of soil, which is the unique scent the earth gives back to the world after being deeply nourished by the rain.
It intertwined with the fresh scent of the grass, making one unable to resist taking a deep breath, feeling immediate relief and comfort, as if all worries had dispersed with this fresh air.
The entire world seemed to burst forth with vibrant life and energy after the rain, everything appearing so beautiful and peaceful.
Noticing that Aunt Yan and Lin Xi had not yet returned,
Chen Nan got up and went outside the community, driving his Mercedes to a nearby bank. He intended to withdraw two hundred thousand yuan, but the bank had a rule that withdrawals over fifty thousand needed an appointment.
With no other choice, Chen Nan found Zhou Long, and exchanged two hundred thousand yuan through him.
Afterward, Chen Nan returned to the Jade Garden villa.
By then, it was already evening.
Aunt Yan and her daughter had just returned and hadn’t even entered the house yet.
"Brother, is this your car?" Lin Xi’s eyes revealed disbelief as she saw Chen Nan driving the luxury car.
Especially the license plate number 77777, which was not something just anyone could obtain.
It required not only money but also power.
Both were indispensable.
Yan Jin’s eyes also showed a different kind of light.
Chen Nan smiled and hummed in affirmation, casually saying, "I made some money helping someone with feng shui, so I bought a car!" He parked the car at the doorstep.
Aunt Yan and her daughter showed a look of shock, seeming not to expect that Chen Nan could also practice feng shui.
Although they did not believe in feng shui, they knew it was difficult for someone to make a mark in this field, not to mention that Chen Nan was still so young.
Chen Nan removed the shopping bag from the passenger seat, picked up a shopping bag from the car, and took Aunt Yan’s shopping bag as they entered the house.
Yan Jin smiled and said, "I bought you some toiletries, pajamas, and some underwear to change into."
"Thank you, Aunt Yan!" Chen Nan expressed his thanks, and then said, "By the way, I just went to withdraw some money."
Saying that, he took out two big bundles of cash.
He handed one bundle to Lin Xi, with an indulgent smile on his face, "Aunt Yan gave me a red packet before. Logically, as your brother, I should also give you a meeting gift. Please accept it!"
Lin Xi’s eyes filled with disbelief, her mouth agape as if it could fit a goose egg, shocked by the generous meeting gift from Chen Nan.
After coming back to her senses, she, like a little money grubber, immediately stashed away the one hundred thousand yuan with a happy face, saying, "Thank you, brother!"
Yan Jin frowned slightly and said, "Xixi, give the money back to your brother!"
Lin Xi chuckled and replied, "This is a gift from my brother when we met. What right do you have to make me return it to him?"
Yan Jin’s face was full of astonishment, unable to comprehend why her daughter had changed so much. Previously, she was sensible and obedient, never talking back to her.
But ever since Chen Nan had returned, it seemed as though the girl had grown wings.
Chen Nan then offered another large bundle of cash to Yan Jin, politely saying, "Aunt Yan, please keep this one hundred thousand yuan."
Yan Jin firmly replied, "Chen Nan, Auntie doesn’t lack money. How could I take yours..."
Chen Nan smiled, interrupting her, "Just think of it as a younger person’s filial piety."
"Alright then!"
Yan Jin couldn’t refuse Chen Nan’s filial gesture and eventually accepted the hundred thousand yuan.
For her,
this was not just money!
It was also Chen Nan’s recognition of her.
All of a sudden, Chen Nan said, "By the way, Aunt Yan, I’ve moved the bedding and toiletries to the master bedroom on the second floor. From now on, you should stay in the master bedroom."
"You can also move some clothes and other small items over there later!"
"Okay." Yan Jin nodded solemnly, her eyes glistening with tears.
She knew.
Chen Nan had truly recognized her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to move her belongings to the master bedroom on the second floor while she was away. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
However,
thinking about those two little toys in the bathroom cabinet, her face couldn’t help but turn red, wondering if Chen Nan had seen them.
Would he mock her in his mind if he saw them...
"I’ll go upstairs and tidy up first," Yan Jin said casually, trying to remain calm, and then she went upstairs.
Chen Nan, also carrying the toiletries and clothes that Aunt Yan had bought for him, entered the elevator, planning to organize things in his room.
"Brother, wait for me!" Lin Xi quickly followed after him, entering the elevator just before the doors closed.
Once inside, Lin Xi affectionately grabbed Chen Nan’s wrist, giving off the aura of lovers in a passionate romance.
Seeing this, Chen Nan’s lips curled into a bitter smile, and he couldn’t help saying, "Do you feel that we are acting a bit too intimately in front of Aunt Yan?"
Lin Xi grinned playfully, "Although you’re my brother, there’s no blood relation between us. It’s not just a bit of intimacy—there wouldn’t be any problem even if we slept in the same room, right?"
Chen Nan was at a loss for words.
The two of them sleeping in the same room indeed wasn’t a problem.
But it still felt awkward.
After all.
This was his stepmother’s daughter!
A moment later.
The two reached the largest bedroom on the fifth floor via the elevator. Chen Nan placed the toiletries in the bathroom and quickly washed the pajamas and underwear he had just thrown into the washing machine.
Even though the clothes were new, he had a habit of always washing new clothes once after buying them, especially such personal garments.
When he returned to the bedroom, he seemed to recall something, looking curiously at Lin Xi who was lying on the bed playing with her phone, "Xixi, why did the previous nanny quit?"
