Since meeting Su Xiaonuan in advance wouldn’t change anything and might even deepen their bond, Nan Yu stopped testing the waters and treated this as a genuine vacation.
She had originally wanted Fei Yizheng to return first. After all, unlike herself, a lazy bum, he was the head of the Fei family and was currently at war with them, so how could he have so much free time?
But Fei Yizheng refused.
He earnestly stated that he was currently very free and not in a hurry; it was Fei Xinglin and his group who were anxious.
The Fei family’s glory was built on immense wealth. Their glorious history of generals and prime ministers was useless without financial support.
And the majority of the Fei family’s assets were now in Fei Yizheng’s hands.
Although he had ruined some projects over the years, most of the damage involved the Fei family’s assets, not his own.
“What if I go bankrupt? Can Miss Nan give me a job?”
It was clear that Fei Yizheng was really not in a hurry and was even in the mood to joke, so Nan Yu naturally didn’t try to persuade him further.
After a moment of contemplation, she smiled and jokingly said, “As a good friend, I can give you a chance for an early interview. As for the position, see which one I know that’s vacant? If you’re capable, you can get the job!”
Nan Yu wasn’t the boss of the company, nor was she responsible for any company decisions. The positions around her…
Butler?
Driver?
Or gardener?
Let Fei Yizheng drive her? The person sitting in the car would probably be even more worried.
Besides, even if the Fei family really went bankrupt, Nan Yu didn’t believe that Fei Yizheng wouldn’t have any backup plans for himself, as this guy was cunning.
“It will happen.”
Fei Yizheng uttered these words as if prophesying, and before Nan Yu could ask any further questions, he looked behind her.
Fei Yunjin approached.
The little guy threw himself onto Nan Yu’s lap as soon as he arrived.
“Auntie, where are we going to play today?”
He had clearly forgotten the prank he’d just had. He looked at Nan Yu with a look of attachment and joy, not at all like the vengeful male lead in the original novel.
Nan Yu lifted Fei Yunjin up and placed him on her lap.
“Are you still able to play today, Xiao Jin?”
“Of course. Xiao Jin has rested enough.”
After that, he looked at Fei Yizheng and asked, “Are you tired?”
It seemed like an ordinary question, but in reality, Fei Yunjin was expressing his awkward concern. He wanted to know if Fei Yizheng was tired carrying him up the mountain yesterday.
After spending time together yesterday, the little guy no longer disliked the man before him.
But getting Fei Yunjin to say those two words was still a little difficult, so he continued to use ‘you’ instead.
This is probably the kind of awkwardness that only children have.
“No, I’m not tired.”
Fortunately, Fei Yizheng didn’t mind the way he addressed him. He even smiled back when he met Fei Yunjin’s clear eyes. But as soon as the smile appeared, the little guy turned his head away and buried his head in Nan Yu’s arms again.
Nan Yu laughed and mouthed to Fei Yizheng, “Shy.”
Fei Yizheng’s smile widened, but unlike Nan Yu’s mischievousness, he didn’t laugh out loud. Otherwise, Fei Yunjin probably wouldn’t want to look up in his lifetime again.
Because yesterday’s hike was a bit too strenuous, Nan Yu didn’t plan to arrange any physically demanding activities today.
She saw that a new animated feature film was released on New Year’s Day, so she thought of taking Fei Yunjin to see it at a nearby cinema.
Although Nan Yu’s villa has a private cinema, watching it outside is still a novel experience. After all, life is about trying new things.
Fei Yizheng had no objection. He was surprisingly easy to talk to about some things, even if it was about watching cartoons he wasn’t interested in.
Fei Yunjin was even happier. Upon hearing the name of the movie they were going to see, he immediately told Nan Yu that Li Yibai had collected a ton of cards from the cartoon, a thick stack of them. He enthusiastically explained them to Nan Yu.
For example, the blue puppy (?) liked the pink kitten (?), but a villain was searching for a power crystal. The puppy couldn’t let the villain get the crystal and didn’t want the kitten to be in danger, so he pretended not to like her, which made her very sad…
Nan Yu was completely confused: “???”
Are children’s cartoons these days so complicated and melodramatic?
