Chapter 189 – Guess What You’re Thinking

After loafing around the hotel for the better part of the day, in the afternoon, the two finally set off to return to Duan Yunhong’s old residence.

The car drove all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and Ning Fei caught a glimpse of something next to the gate. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a child wrapped in a blanket, huddled at the gate, clutching something, looking very pitiful. Ning Fei asked suspiciously, “Do all the beggars in Pingdu squat at people’s doors?”

“Rare. They’re usually chased away, some even beaten, so beggars don’t usually hang around the entrances of such residences.” Duan Yunhong said, rolling down the car window to look at the servant who came to open the gate, “What’s going on at the gate?”

“She said she was looking for Mr. Ning, and brought a letter, wanting to hand it to Mr. Ning personally.” The servant replied, “She came last night, and when we told her you two weren’t coming back, she wouldn’t leave. We saw she was small, and were afraid she’d freeze to death at the door, which would be bad luck, so we gave her the old blanket. Do you want us to let her stay or chase her away?”

Duan Yunhong turned to look at Ning Fei, who was also confused: “Why are you looking at me? I don’t know where the child came from.”

“…Since she’s looking for you, let’s hear what she has to say first.” Duan Yunhong made a decision, and then instructed the servant, “Bring her in, get her some hot water and food, we’ll see her later.”

The servant nodded.

Skipping over the details, the two returned home and quickly tidied themselves up before going to the reception room to see the child. Before entering, Duan Yunhong casually joked, “Usually in these situations, isn’t someone about to pounce on you and call you ‘Dad’?”

“If you have to say that, it’s more likely to be you, right?” Ning Fei glanced at him, “After all, it’s only been a few years since you left this world, the probability of you having had a child before is quite high.”

“I was in a wheelchair for the last few years, I didn’t have the energy…”

“You never know, there are ways to play in a wheelchair…”

The two chatted casually, entered the reception room, and stopped talking tacitly. The child who had been huddled at the door was now sitting on a single sofa, holding a cup in one hand and a biscuit in the other. Seeing the two adults enter, the child quickly stuffed the remaining biscuit into their mouth.

“Don’t rush, eat slowly.” Ning Fei didn’t have any innate malice towards a little tyke, and he could now see that it was a little girl with a short bob haircut. She was wearing worn clothes and pants, and there was a patched cotton coat next to her. The things weren’t very nice, but at least they were warm. The gatekeeper admitted just now that they had actually put her in the gatehouse late last night, otherwise such a small child would have suffered half a life, if not died, staying outside.

Hearing Ning Fei’s words, the little girl slowed down her eating, and took a couple of sips of water after finishing. But she didn’t continue eating, but wiped her hands on her body, took out a letter from a small box next to her, and then asked softly and timidly, “Excuse me…which one is Mr. Ning Fei?”

Ning Fei replied, “Me.”

The little girl then stepped forward, handed him the letter, and then retreated to her original position, picking up the small box next to her. Duan Yunhong didn’t say anything throughout the whole process, but kept a close eye on the girl’s movements. Ning Fei’s current state was very relaxed, but Duan Yunhong was very clear that in this day and age, children could also suddenly become violent.

Ning Fei glanced at the words on the envelope—”To Mr. Ning Fei”—and felt a little familiar. When he opened the envelope and took a look, it was indeed.

He looked up at the little girl opposite him: “You are Qiao Li’s daughter.”

“…Yes, my mother said her name at work is ‘Qiao Li’.” The little girl was a little uneasy, rubbing her hands back and forth, “After she came back last night, she hurriedly put me on a rickshaw and told me that I must see Mr. Ning Fei and give you the letter…”

Duan Yunhong frowned: “What’s she trying to do?”

Ning Fei handed the letter directly to him.

This time, Qiao Li’s handwriting was much more Sloppy, but the content was still discernible. In short, Liang Zhiming’s escape had affected Qiao Li, and now Qiao Li was being watched very closely, even threatened and lured in various ways. “Those people” knew that she had been entangled with Liang Zhiming in the past, and believed that she must know Liang Zhiming’s whereabouts. “Those people” also repeatedly mentioned her daughter in their words, and she was worried that if things continued like this, her daughter would be controlled and used as a tool to threaten her, and she herself would not live long. Therefore, she hoped that Ning Fei would help take her daughter to Yucheng.

After arriving, it would be best if she could be a small helper in Ning Fei’s home. She was already nine years old and could do basic housework, just give her food. If they couldn’t take her in, they could send her to a family willing to adopt her or a girls’ school. If there was a chance, Qiao Li herself would also try her best to go to Yucheng and reunite with her daughter.

There were also fifty yuan in the letter, as a fee for taking care of her along the way.

“She actually asked you to entrust her orphan?” Duan Yunhong was a little surprised, “Just meeting you once, she dares to ask you?”

Ning Fei shrugged: “Maybe I look kind.”

“You look kind…” Duan Yunhong scoffed, “You’re more likely to pocket the money and throw the person out.”

These words made the little girl hug the box tightly. Ning Fei smiled jokingly, “Scaring a child, you’ve fallen to this level.”

“What do you say then?” Duan Yunhong handed the letter back, “She’s so Be cool, throwing the child to you, betting on your conscience. How do you respond now?”

Ning Fei thought for a moment, and looked at the little girl: “What’s your name?”

The little girl said, “…My name is Chen Lili.”

Qiao Li wrote her original name in the letter, which was also “Chen”. It was unknown whether her daughter took her surname, or whether her father’s surname was also Chen.

“Chen Lili, what do you think? Do you want to go to Yucheng with us?”

“I, I don’t know…” The little girl said timidly, “But my mother said that if the uncle takes me away, I have to be obedient and wait for her to come and find me.”

“Wait for her…” Ning Fei scoffed, waved his hand and said, “You go out, call the person outside in, and he will take you to eat later. As for your stay, we’ll talk about it later.”

The little girl was very confused, but she nodded. When she stood up, she hesitated and looked at her box and a package next to the sofa. Ning Fei even said, “Leave it there, no one will move it,” and the little girl nodded and walked out the door.

Duan Yunhong silently watched the little girl go out, and watched the servant come in, and then go out according to Ning Fei’s instructions, finally turning his head to look at Ning Fei: “Say it, what do you want to talk about with me?”

Ning Fei glanced at him: “You know I want to talk to you again?”

“This matter was originally asking you, if you had a decision, you would have said it on the spot, would you have asked that child to avoid it?” Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows, “You don’t need to use ‘it’s my car, I arranged the itinerary’ as a reason. What you decide, you can at most behave in a spoiled manner ‘patch it up’ with me afterwards, but you wouldn’t respect me so much.”

“Speaking of which, am I not respectful enough to you, Boss Duan?” Ning Fei raised his eyebrows, “Do you still like to be with people who don’t respect you all day long?”

“It also depends on how you don’t respect me.” Duan Yunhong smiled, “Alright, let’s get down to business, what exactly do you want to talk about with me?”

Ning Fei thought about it, and added a sentence: “Actually, this original intention, on closer thought, also has a bit of disrespect for you…”

Duan Yunhong moved closer to him: “Tell me, how are you going to disrespect me again?”

These words were very AdjustQ, and Ning Fei really wanted to say something Hot to reply, but he ultimately stuck to the topic: “Mainly, I guessed what you were thinking, but it’s also possible that I’m just guessing wildly.”

“You’re really interesting, have you guessed wildly about me less often? When I told you not to think wildly in the past, when have you not spread it randomly?” Duan Yunhong replied, “I think you should hurry up and say it, the more nonsense you talk, the more I feel like you’re going to pull off something big…”

“Then I guess, you should want to take that child away, right?”

Duan Yunhong: “…”

Ning Fei: “…”

The two were silent for a few seconds, and then Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows: “That’s it?”

“That’s it, but I also thought about the reason.” Ning Fei poked his heart, “After all, Qiao Li can be considered implicated by the camp you used to be in. According to the ideas of people like you, isn’t it normal to help someone protect their daughter? And in my opinion, even if Qiao Li wasn’t implicated by your people, she would still entrust her daughter to you, to Liang Zhiming, you would take it.”

Duan Yunhong looked at him: “And then? You think I would think that way now too?”

“I can’t say for sure, but I think it’s possible. It’s not entirely out of your former inertia, but also Overlay with your current state.” Ning Fei continued to poke, “After all, you are now a President, a big boss, rescuing a little girl is not a matter of course? You might have had scruples in the past, or you might have had to be Only mind, but now you can just do whatever you want, right?”

“So you’re worried about this?” Duan Yunhong figured out the key here, completely unable to control the upward curve of his lips, “Thinking that my former ideals would choose this way, but if you say that, I would feel that I am no longer the person I used to be, why are you giving me such a stereotype?”

“Ah, close enough, I know many people with unlimited lifespan are very concerned about this.”

“I’m not concerned. I don’t care if you guess wrong, let alone if you guess right.” Duan Yunhong said, “So you decided to take her?”

“You decided, Duan Yunhong.” Ning Fei smiled, “If you think taking her is happy, then take her; if taking her is too troublesome, then don’t take her.”

“Where to put her after taking her to Yucheng, have you considered it? We can’t keep following us all the time, right? We will disappear soon.”

“Can’t you even arrange this, the omnipotent Boss Duan? If it really doesn’t work, just stuff her to Cheng Lingqi before leaving, he can’t not be able to raise even a little girl, right.”

“What if this affects your mission? Still okay?”

“Then you need to exert your subjective initiative.” Ning Fei raised his eyebrows, “You can’t even protect my mission, can you, can you?”

“…It’s possible.” Duan Yunhong finally couldn’t help grabbing his finger, “But can you not keep poking, if you keep poking, I’m going to misunderstand your meaning.”

“Why can’t I poke, you’ve trained to this extent, isn’t it to let others get started? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of training? Soft and hard, hehe…” Ning Fei smiled wickedly, “I’ve been suspecting since I entered this world, but I didn’t say it out loud. Since you said it doesn’t matter if I guess wrong, then I’ll just ask directly——”

“Did you make it bigger again… oh, no, you should be able to make it bigger with settings?”

“…I scan my body!” Duan Yunhong was speechless, “If I didn’t scan, would I dare to really meet you in high-dimensional spaces like the Administration? If I let you see the real situation is not as good as these worlds, wouldn’t you be furious?”

“Then I really would. If I see a different person when I meet in person, I will chase after them!” Ning Fei sighed, and then touched the man’s chest again, “So, this is the ‘real thing’! Has it really gotten bigger?”

“…Don’t squeeze.” Duan Yunhong pinched his hand, “If you squeeze any more, you won’t need to announce your decision to that child.”

“Boss Duan is so energetic? We just played this morning, and you’ve recovered?”

“Haven’t you tried it?”

“Hahahaha, okay, okay…” Ning Fei, whose hand was pinched, leaned closer to him, and bit his ear as if in retaliation, “Then the last question, I think that child needs a new name to hide her identity, Boss Duan, come up with one.”

At this moment, Duan Yunhong felt that this link had a special meaning.

“Let’s call her… Xiaoshui.” (Little Water)
