Chapter 612 Relying On Cuteness

Nan Xing was forced to stay where he was. To make matters worse, he couldn't shove Ouyang Qingaway right in front of the reporters.

“Ms. Ouyang, the public thinks your marriage with Mr. Xing is a marriage of convenience. Will therebe more collaborations between Nanshi Corporation and Sunshine Corporation in the future afteryour wedding?” a reporter questioned.

That question was clearly prepared beforehand. Ouyang Qing must provide coherent answers tosuch important questions.

"Of course. Our marriage will no doubt promote more collaboration between the Ouyang familyand Nanshi Corporation. Actually, our families have always been working closely together. It's justthat the collaborations will be more expansive and in-depth henceforth.” Ouyang Qing beamed infront of the cameras.

Another reporter asked an even more pivotal question. “Will the Ouyang family consider investingin Nanshi Corporation?”

“You'll have to ask my dad that question. After all, he's the patriarch of the Ouyang family. However,I think he will, because if he does, it's a win-win situation.”

That was an exceptionally crucial question to answer because that would foreshadow the Ouyangfamily’s subsequent actions in the near future.

The plan was to let the media spread the news so that Nanshi Corporation's shareholders and high-ranking officials would be prepared for what was to come.

That way, when the Ouyang family enacted their plan, it wouldn't come off as being too abrupt andwould instead appear natural.

"What do you think about it, Mr. Xing? Do you share the same sentiment?” a reporter asked.

Nan Xing plastered a smile on his face. “You all know I'm a free man. I don't care about NanshiCorporation's businesses. Besides, there are many more interesting things for me to do now that I'mnewly wedded. Why would I want to think about work now? I don't have time!”

That joke was a lot funnier than the last and even implied a dirty context, so it got a laught from thereporters.

With all the important questions answered, it was almost time to apply for the marriage certificate.Worried that Nan Xing would spout even more inappropriate remarks should the conversationcontinue, Ouyang Qing waved at the reporters before pulling the man into the building.Meanwhile, in Livingsfill, Dabao and Erbao were sunbathing in Mountview Inn's courtyard.

Erbao was feeling much better as she kept running around the courtyard, occasionally disturbingher older brother, who was reading a book.

“Can you get some rest, Erbao? Don't tire yourself out,” Cheng Xiangyun said.

Ever since losing contact with Ning Ran and the others, Cheng Xiangyun's identity had changedfrom Ning Ran’s assistant to Erbao’s assistant.

Since Erbao was a girl, it was inconvenient for Qiao Zhan and the other bodyguards to take care ofher. Thus, that responsibility naturally fell on Cheng Xiangyun's shoulders.

The job exhausted her. Whenever Erbao was under the weather, the woman would get very worried.It was tiring for her to constantly keep an eye on the little girl's condition and take her bodytemperature from time to time.

However, the mischievous girl could never stay still when she was feeling better and wouldconstantly be up to something

Left without a choice, Cheng Xiangyun would have to keep watch of the girl to ensure she did notget herself into trouble.

After a few days of repeating the same actions, Cheng Xiangyun finally understood why babysittershad very high wages, for the job was anything but easy.

After Nan Xing promised that Nan Chen and the others would return in three days, Dabao andErbao became more at ease. They were able to eat and sleep better.

However, the children being in good spirits meant it was harder for Cheng Xiangyun to do her joband keep them under control.

“I'm bored, Aunt Xiang. How about we go and play outside?” Erbao suggested.

“No, we can only stay in the inn. We can't go anywhere else,” said Cheng Xiangyun, turning herdown.

"Why not? The weather's warm right now. It's such a pity if we don't play outside!” Erbao exclaimed."Aren“t you playing right now? The courtyard's pretty big. Isn't that enough for you?”

“It's not enough! I want to have fun outside! I want to watch a movie and eat tasty food!" Er Baohugged Cheng Xiangyun's leg and kept shaking it.

The girl's ability to pester people was out of this world. She wouldn't stop until she got what shewanted.

The key to her strategy was that she was reasonable. Instead of crying or throwing a tantrum, shejust relied on her cuteness to get her way.

Cheng Xiangyun, who was almost worn down by Erbao’s pleas, hoped she could bring the girloutdoors as well.

However, she knew they shouldn't act as they pleased for the time being since it was currently acrucial period.

While she had no idea what happened to the Nan family, she knew for a fact that the matter wasn'tchild's play.

Due to that reason, she mustn't allow anything to happen to the children. Otherwise, it would onlyadd fuel to the fire.

Moreover, even if she agreed to Erbao’s request, the stubborn Qiao Zhan would never allow it.“Let's have fun outside, Aunt Xiang. Pretty please?” Erbao pleaded with her adorable voice.

Cheng Xiangyun couldn't take it anymore, so she came up with an idea. “How about this? You goand ask Uncle Qiao. If he says okay, I'll take you outside to have fun. If he doesn't, then there'snothing I can do.”

Of course, she knew there was no way Qiao Zhan would agree to it. She just wanted to pass thebuck to the man for a change.

“Uncle Qiao..." Erbao drawled as she approached the inn’s entrance.

Qiao Zhan spent most of his time at the entrance, vigilantly observing the situation outside.

“Don’t call me that.” Qiao Zhan frowned.

He wasn't that much older compared to Nan Chen and was only a year or two older than the latterat most. Being called that made him feel somewhat old.

In response, Erbao changed the way she addressed him. “Ah Qiao.”

"Okay, that sounds even worse. Just stick to calling me uncle, then,” Qiao Zhan said quickly.

“Please let us play outside! It's too boring to stay here all day. I feel like I'm going crazy!”complained Erbao.

"Please just bear with it a little longer, Little Miss. You really can’t go out right now!” He dared notagree to her request.

It was a critical period, after all. There was no way he could bear the consequences if somethinghappened to the girl after he gave the okay.

"Uncle Qiao, Ah Qiao, Mr. Qiao...” Erbao begged.

“Please don't stop pestering me, Little Miss. I really can't allow you to leave. No matter what you callme, I won't agree to your request,” said Qiao Zhan with determination,

Sighing, Erbao turned to walk away with resignation.

It was then they heard knocks on the inn’s door.

The knocks were accompanied by the eager voice of a child. “Open the door! Open the door! Openthe door!”

Judging by how she repeated the same thing three times in a row, the child seemed to be animpatient person.

When Erbao heard the juvenile voice, she instantly got excited as she really wanted a playmate.

It would be great if it's another kid! We would get to have so much fun together!

"Someone's asking you to open the door, Uncle Qiao,” she said.

“Come over here and bring Little Miss away, Cheng Xiangyun! Don't let her stand at the side of thedoor! Are you even doing your job?" Cheng Xiangyun yelled.

"What are you shouting for? She was the one who wanted to go to you. It's not like I can keep herby my side for the whole day.” Cheng Xiangyun was ticked off by how the man called her by her fullname.

“There's a kid outside, Uncle Qiao. I want to see her!” Erbao, however, refused to leave.

That didn't dissuade Qiao Zhan from being cautious. “The situation is complicated right now, LittleMiss. We don't know what's going on outside, so please leave for now.”

“No!” said Erbao wilfully.

Staring at Cheng Xiangyun, Qiao Zhan ordered, “Why are you still standing there? Take Little Missaway now!”
