"Senior Sister, this… is what you call a small property?"
Ning Beichen had already confirmed with his master that Nangong Feiyan was indeed his senior sister, leaving him with no room for doubt.
However, as he looked at the eighty-eight-story building and the surrounding villa complex before him, Ning Beichen began to question his own life.
Nangong Feiyan nodded. To their Nangong family, this was truly just a small property. The Nangong family had such investments in many cities; Xinhai City was just one of them.
It was a pity that the Nangong family was not blessed with many descendants, and now only Nangong Feiyan, a single girl, held immense wealth. She was the true, genuine rich woman.
Seeing all this, Ning Beichen wanted to turn and tell his Senior Sister, "Senior Sister, I don't want to strive anymore."
But Ning Beichen had his pride. Just last night, he had told Nangong Feiyan that he needed to protect Liu Yilin and had nowhere for her to live. In response, his wealthy Senior Sister had directly bought the entire complex.
Ning Beichen really wanted to tell himself, "If you meet a woman like this, just give in. This isn't just saving thirty years of hard work; it's saving more than three lifetimes."
"Junior Brother, I've bought this entire row of villas. I'll be living right next door to you, so you can come find Senior Sister anytime. Oh, and I've registered these villas under your name. When you eventually marry ten or eight wives, there will be enough space. When that time comes, Senior Sister can help you look after the children too."
Nangong Feiyan said this to Ning Beichen with utmost seriousness and affection.
*Pu chi!*
Ning Beichen almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Senior Sister, don't joke around."
"Junior Brother, I'm not joking. Everything I've said is true. If this complex wasn't already occupied by so many people, I would have bought all the houses in this complex."
Nangong Feiyan said with a tone of regret.
Ning Beichen was completely speechless, with only four words drifting through his mind: Rich and willful!
"Senior Sister, you bought this. How can I accept it? Besides, I'm a man."
Ning Beichen's intention was to tell Nangong Feiyan that he had strong teeth and didn't need to rely on a woman for sustenance.
However, Nangong Feiyan didn't seem to care at all. Perhaps it was due to the major upheaval the Nangong family had experienced, leaving her alone, that she treated Ning Beichen, her Junior Brother, with excessive kindness.
"You are my Junior Brother. What Senior Sister has is yours. You are not allowed to refuse."
Ever since Ning Beichen had acknowledged her as his Senior Sister, Nangong Feiyan could openly use her status to pressure him. Moreover, her kindness towards him was so overwhelming that Ning Beichen felt embarrassed.
Even more astonishing to Ning Beichen was that when he and Liu Yilin attended a banquet to discuss business, Nangong Feiyan directly became Liu Yilin's partner.
"Miss Nangong, thank you for thinking so highly of Tianmei Technology Group. Do you have any conditions?"
Liu Yilin said to Nangong Feiyan with a look of gratitude.
The cooperation terms offered by Nangong Feiyan were so favorable that she suspected she was dreaming. This wasn't cooperation; it was practically helping her.
If it weren't for Nangong Feiyan of the Nangong family, Liu Yilin would have suspected some kind of scheme, as the terms offered were too extraordinarily good.
"I have no conditions."
Nangong Feiyan's mind was not on the business discussion at all. She spent most of the time looking at Ning Beichen. This made Liu Yilin feel strange, unable to understand why Nangong Feiyan kept looking at her bodyguard.
Soon, the negotiation ended, so smoothly that Liu Yilin felt as if she were dreaming.
"Miss Liu, I need to speak with your Ning Beichen. Is that alright?"
At this moment, Nangong Feiyan said to Liu Yilin.
"Uh, he's just my bodyguard. I don't have the authority over him."
Liu Yilin said with a hint of jealousy. She felt that Nangong Feiyan was somewhat strange, neglecting a perfectly good business deal to show interest in a minor bodyguard by her side.
"Junior Brother, I have a few words to say to you."
Nangong Feiyan walked over to Ning Beichen, stood on her tiptoes, and whispered in his ear.
Ning Beichen could only nod with a wry smile. He had no idea beforehand that the person Liu Yilin would be cooperating with would be his Senior Sister.
"Senior Sister, what are you doing?"
Ning Beichen asked her with a headache after they moved to the side.
"I'm here to help you! I've already taken a look for you. That Liu Yilin is quite good. She has a large backside for bearing children, and she's beautiful too. Junior Brother, do you want Senior Sister to help you set it up?"
Nangong Feiyan said with a secretive expression.
"Senior Sister, Master only asked me to protect her. I don't like this kind of cold woman. Please don't meddle."
Ning Beichen said, feeling like he was about to cry.
This Senior Sister was good in every aspect and treated him very well, but she was just a bit *too* good, especially when it came to his personal affairs, where she was particularly enthusiastic.
"You don't like her? If Junior Brother doesn't like her, then I'll cancel the cooperation with her."
Nangong Feiyan frowned immediately.
Ning Beichen, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, grabbed her and said with a headache, "Senior Sister, actually, Liu Yilin is quite a decent person. Cooperating with her has no downsides."
"Alright, since it's Junior Brother's wish, we'll do as you say."
Ning Beichen's words alone caused Nangong Feiyan to change her mind. Then, Nangong Feiyan said a few more things to him, and only then did Ning Beichen return to Liu Yilin's side.
However, as Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin were leaving, he noticed that Liu Yilin had a dark expression on her face. She didn't respond even after he called her name several times, clearly indicating she was angry.
Ning Beichen shrugged his shoulders and didn't bother to pay attention to her. After all, this woman often put on a cold face for no reason; it wasn't the first time, and she'd be fine after a while.
As expected, not long after, Liu Yilin spoke.
"Ning Beichen, what did that Nangong Feiyan want to talk to you about?"
In reality, she was angry that Ning Beichen hadn't proactively told her what he and Nangong Feiyan had discussed privately.
"Nothing much, just chatted with her for a bit."
Ning Beichen replied.
He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal what Nangong Feiyan had told him, especially Senior Sister Nangong Feiyan's remark about "Liu Yilin having a large backside and being good for childbirth."
"Ning Beichen, do you take me for a fool? I don't know her, so why was she staring at you as if her eyeballs were about to pop out? I'm not blind."
Seeing that he had no intention of explaining anything, Liu Yilin's temper flared up for some reason.
"Boss, we really didn't say anything."
Ning Beichen said helplessly.
"Ning Beichen, tell me, did that old woman threaten you? Did you agree to some condition of hers before she'd cooperate with me? I knew it, how could the terms she offered be so lenient? This isn't how a businesswoman should act. Is she interested in you?"
"Boss, it's not like that..."
"Shut up! What the hell is that old woman? Does the Nangong family just have some money? Does Liu Yilin have to cooperate with her or not?"
"Did she threaten you? Did she want you to sleep with her? Ning Beichen, I'm telling you, you belong to me, Liu Yilin. Even if I go bankrupt, I won't use you as a bargaining chip."
Liu Yilin became more and more agitated as she spoke. Seeing how furious she was, it was as if she was about to grab a knife and go settle scores with Nangong Feiyan.
