"Ah." Li Mo was feeling anxious when she suddenly saw a middle-aged man who looked 50% like Nan Ling greeting her.
Father Nan stopped and stood there and said warmly: "I heard your aunt talk about you. I also saw you when you were a child."
He gestured: "You were only this tall at that time, and you followed your father. When you saw me, you hid behind me and didn't dare to come out."
Li Mo finally knew who he was and called him respectfully, "Uncle Nan."
"Hey." Father Nan responded, then looked at his son and signaled him with his eyes: "Why did you come back together?"
Nan Ling couldn't tell Li Mo what she did in the club in front of her. He kept a straight face and said calmly, "I came back to get something and happened to meet my aunt and her family. Mom asked me to take my sister out for a walk."
Father Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Is that so? What are your plans next...?"
Nan Ling knew what his father meant, and immediately said, "I'm just sending the person back. I'll leave soon and won't be home for dinner tonight."
"Okay." Father Nan's original intention was to keep the two from getting too close.
He turned around and looked at Li Mo who was silent. Li Mo looked very well-behaved, but he always felt that Li Mo seemed to be afraid of Nan Ling, and she looked in Nan Ling's direction nervously from time to time.
He suddenly realized that he had something to ask Nan Ling, so he said to the two of them, "Go in first."
The three of them went in one after the other.
When Nan's mother saw the two of them coming back, she stood up from the sofa in surprise and asked, "You guys are back so early?"
Nan Ling tugged at the tie that bound his neck, suppressed the irritation in his chest, and walked inside while listening to Nan's mother coming up to him and asking him questions.
"You didn't have lunch?"
"Why didn't you play outside for a while longer?"
"Daniel didn't come?"
Nan Ling's already complicated mood became even more uncomfortable, and he was in no mood to explain it to her in detail. He said vaguely: "Something happened, so I came back early."
Nan's mother continued to ask: "What happened?"
Li Mo, who followed in, was even more nervous than Nan Ling. She immediately interrupted their conversation and barged in: "Aunt, I have something to ask you."
Nan's mother was indeed attracted to her: "What?"
Li Mo glanced at Nan Ling nervously, her eyes pleading, and she said to Nan's mother perfunctorily: "I just came to the Independent Island and there are still many things I don't understand... I want to know where it is more convenient to buy things? I didn't bring many clothes with me, I want to go shopping some other day."
As expected, Nan's mother introduced her enthusiastically and even pulled her over, gestured, looked at her and said she would take her to buy clothes and go to a beauty salon.
Father Nan took in the entire scene, turned around and said to Nan Ling in a deep voice: "Come with me to the study."
…
In the study.
Father Nan closed the door and walked to the redwood desk without beating around the bush. He sat down, frowned, and asked him, "Did something happen while you were out?"
"You and her wouldn't..." Nan's father thought Nan Ling was confused and was really having an affair with Li Mo.
Who knew Nan Ling would immediately brush it off: "Dad, you think too much!"
Father Nan still didn't quite believe it: "Then why is her reaction to you so strange?"
Nan Ling had no intention of helping Li Mo hide the secret, so he told her that he had made an appointment with Ye Wangchuan to meet at noon through Daniel's connection.
By the way, Li Mo chased him out when he wasn't paying attention, gossiped about him in front of others, and then turned around and pretended to be stupid in front of him, trying to deceive him.
