Nan Tianyi hadn't seen his wife show her youthful side for a long time. That kind of high-spirited self-confidence was what made him obsessed in the first place.
When he looked at Qiao Nian again, his eyes were filled with gratitude. He didn't say much, but only reminded Qiao Nian: "Niannian, come and play when you are free. Your Aunt Xie is not bragging. If you encounter any questions you don't understand, or if you encounter any difficulties in the research institute, you can always look for her."
"I know." Qiao Nian accepted the two books Xie Tingyun gave her.
Just then her cell phone lit up. It was a message from Ye Wangchuan, saying that he was waiting for her outside.
Qiao Nian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the news. He stood up and said to the two of them, "Aunt Xie, Uncle Nan, my friend is waiting for me outside. I'll leave first."
"I'll take you out." Xie Tingyun originally wanted to keep her to play for a while longer, but worried that Qiao Nian was too tired, he did not try to keep her and stood up to take her out.
Qiao Nian knew that she was weak, so she picked up the bag with one hand and held the two books Xie Tingyun gave her with the other hand, and stopped Xie Tingyun: "Aunt Xie, I'll come to see you another day."
Xie Tingyun wanted to say something else.
Qiao Nian's clear eyes were delicate and bright. He stared at her, and seemed to sigh and compromise: "That matter... I will think about it carefully."
The light in Xie Tingyun's eyes lit up again in an instant. He grabbed her arm tightly and said excitedly, "Well, well, you take your time to think about it. Don't be in a hurry. I'm not in a hurry."
Qiao Nian really didn't know how to respond to the enthusiastic elders. After she said something to Nan Tianyi, she waved goodbye to Xie Tingyun and left the manor first.
After the girl's back gradually disappeared in front of him, Xie Tingyun grabbed the clothes on his chest and coughed softly.
She asked with some concern: "Do you think we are being too anxious? I'm afraid Nian Nian will feel stressed."
Nan Tianyi helped her in and comforted her gently: "Nian Nian is very smart, she should know why you are anxious."
After Xie Tingyun finished listening, he was slightly stunned, then a bitter smile appeared on his pale face, and he said: "I didn't expect that she would have such a quarrel with the Ji family. She is too stubborn, just like her mother. She only sees right and wrong in everything, and would rather break than yield."
"I'm just afraid... afraid that the Ji family will do something to her."
Nan Tianyi patted her shoulder and whispered to comfort her: "You just worry too much. We are still here. As long as Nian Nian agrees to recognize her as a relative, those who want to touch her will have to think twice!"
With the background of the Nan family and the Xie family, even if the Ji family wants to touch Qiao Nian, they will be wary.
This is why Xie Tingyun is anxious to adopt Qiao Nian as his goddaughter.
Xie Tingyun's tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
"By the way, Xinyao called just now and said she wanted to come over to play, you..." Nan Tianyi suddenly brought this up.
Xie Tingyun was still wondering if Qiao Nian would be bullied in the Independent Continent because of her stubborn temper. When she heard what Nan Tianyi said to her, she immediately reacted with an indifferent expression on her gentle face, and it was obvious that she knew what Xie Xinyao's family was thinking.
"They are afraid that I will adopt a goddaughter and leave everything to Nian Nian in the future. That's why they want to come and see me and play the emotional card."
"She is your niece after all, you..."
"She has no talent." Xie Tingyun said directly, and sighed: "I thought about teaching her a long time ago, but I tried it, she has no talent in this area, so it would be useless to teach her."
"As for the things they want, if I hadn't met Nian Nian before I died, maybe I would have given them. But I don't want to die now. I want to protect Nian Nian. I can't give them those things."
