"If he calls me Lingzhi, I'd be happy too."
"Lingzhi." Chu Junyu smiled at her. "Lingzhi, you're so pretty."
"Get lost." Chu Lingzhi scolded with a laugh, but her mood suddenly lifted.
"Mom, you're biased. When the old man calls you Lingzhi, you're happy, but when I call you Lingzhi, you tell me to get lost." Chu Junyu pouted, then looked at Nangong Yehen and said softly, "Nangong, let's ignore Lingzhi from now on."
"I'll need to deal with her for now." Nangong Yehen curled his lips, revealing a handsome and charming smile.
"Why?" Chu Junyu blinked, wondering if Dad had fallen for Mom.
"I need her to treat my wound."
"There are so many pretty nurse sisters outside, why don't you hire one for home service?"
"Why use a paid one when there's a free one at home?" Nangong Yehen tapped his nose.
Chu Junyu thought for a moment and nodded, "True, you should make good use of the free one at home. Dad, will you marry Mom in the future?"
Hearing this, Chu Lingzhi quickly stepped forward and pulled Chu Junyu out of Nangong Yehen's arms.
"Chu Junyu, your brother has already gone upstairs to do homework. Are you trying to slack off?"
"It's not too late for me to do my homework tonight."
"Didn't you finish it at school before coming back?" Nangong Yehen raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, that was math. I haven't done English yet."
"Then go upstairs and do it now." Chu Lingzhi shooed him away.
"Fine, I'm going upstairs. I won't disturb your lovey-dovey time." Chu Junyu said with a mischievous grin.
Chu Lingzhi's cheeks flushed slightly as she glared at Chu Junyu. This little brat, who was being lovey-dovey with whom?
Once the two kids were gone, Nangong Yehen's exquisite handsome face turned back into an icy mask.
"I'll go make you a bowl of noodles." With that, Chu Lingzhi headed for the kitchen.
"Don't you want me to marry you in the future?" The man's deep, magnetic voice rang out.
Chu Lingzhi's back stiffened. She turned around and stared at him in shock: "Master Nangong, what did you just say?"
Nangong Yehen lifted his gaze, looking at her with a faint smile, and repeated what he had just said.
"Master Nangong, stop joking."
His eyes weren't affectionate enough; she wouldn't believe he would marry her.
"Many women want to marry me."
Chu Lingzhi smiled. "That's them, not me."
Nangong Yehen curled his lips. "Is there a difference between this and marrying me? You're already my woman."
Chu Lingzhi's smile faded as she looked at Nangong Yehen. "Master Nangong, I think you haven't had meat in a while. I'll go make you a bowl of lean meat noodles."
She quickly walked into the kitchen, not wanting to continue this conversation.
In the kitchen, Lin Ling was preparing dinner.
She had heard everything they said.
"Miss Chu, why don't you want to marry Master Nangong?" Lin Ling asked with a smile, a strange glint in her eyes.
"He doesn't love me, so why would I marry him?" Chu Lingzhi said with a wry smile.
Lin Ling disagreed. "As long as he's willing to marry me, even if he doesn't love me, I'd still be willing."
Chu Lingzhi glanced at her. "Love-struck fool."
"Don't you think Master Nangong is the most handsome man in the world?"
"No, I think he's the coldest man in the world."
Hearing this, Nangong Yehen couldn't help but curl his lips. This woman...
Just then, his phone rang. It was Mo Qiang calling.
"Speak!" Answering the call, Nangong Yehen's expression instantly turned icy cold.
"Master, they were all brothers of Mo Ercong during his lifetime."
