"Ziqi, is this your home? I didn’t know you were a wealthy second generation." Bai Xue looked at the standalone villa in front of her, the land in Jiangzhou being worth every inch, occupying a hill and featuring a golf course, truly exuding opulence.

"I grew up here, but moved out after studying abroad. My two uncles and cousins live here now, and my closest sister married and went to the Capital City; I’ll take you to meet her when I have the time."

He held Bai Xue’s hand and smiled gently: "Are you afraid?"

Bai Xue glared at him: "I’m not afraid... I’m just... just afraid your family won’t like me..."

Ning Ziqi hugged her shoulders and whispered in her ear: "Don’t worry, they’re all easy to get along with..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

After saying this, he was surprised himself and laughed: "It’s okay, with me here, they won’t dare bully you."

Ning Ziqi’s father was the second elder of the Ning Family, but he and his wife died in a plane crash when Ning Ziqi was very young, so Ning Ziqi actually grew up with Ning Zijin, who acted as both sister and mother, raising him. In the whole Ning Family, Ning Zijin was the person he valued most.

But if he’s with Bai Xue, he still hopes for his family’s blessing, hence today’s visit.

"Second Young Master, you’re back." The Butler greeted warmly.

"This must be Second Young Master’s girlfriend, indeed charming and smart. Third Young Master knew you were coming back today and has been preparing, and the Elders too, have eagerly awaited your return."

"He’s the Butler of the Ning Family, you can call him Uncle Ning."

Bai Xue spoke obediently and gently: "Hello Uncle Ning, I’m Bai Xue."

"Alright, alright, Miss Bai, come on in."

In the living room, Ning Qinghua and Ning Qinghuan were sitting there waiting, both looking quite worn out, being confined in the villa by Ning Zihuan, forced to live a life of restraint, suffering worse than imprisonment, like pigs being raised, wasting away.

"Second, you’ve finally come to see us." Ning Qinghua excitedly grasped Ning Ziqi’s hand, as if seeing a long-lost friend, so thrilled.

"Big Uncle." Ning Ziqi coughed, feeling overwhelmed by his sudden enthusiasm.

Seeing the girl standing beside Ning Ziqi, his eyes brightened instantly, like a hungry wolf seeing meat: "Is this pretty girl your girlfriend?"

Bai Xue stood gracefully beside Ning Ziqi, charming and gentle, obedient and pure, exactly the type of girl men liked most.

"Hello Big Uncle, I’m Bai Xue."

Politely reaching out her hand, only to have Ning Qinghua grab it suddenly, Bai Xue was startled and wanted to withdraw, but he held it tightly, showing a greasy smile, commenting on how soft it was...

Ning Ziqi’s eyebrows turned cold, his hand landed on Ning Qinghua’s wrist, forcefully prying it open. Ning Qinghua was old, no match for Ning Ziqi, and let go instantly.

"Big Uncle, please behave." Ning Ziqi said coldly.

Unexpectedly, Big Uncle was still so improper, daring to take advantage of his girlfriend openly. Once he thought Zihuan was too harsh, now he felt Zihuan was right.

"Heh heh, Ziqi, your girlfriend is really nice, I like her." He said while glancing at Bai Xue, who hurriedly hid behind Ning Ziqi, cursing inwardly.

"Alright, come sit down, I’ll make tea for you." Ning Qinghuan was fiddling with his tea set, "Ziqi, you hardly come back to see us, grown wings and look down on us old men."

"Third Uncle exaggerates, I really want to come back and see you but my work keeps me too busy." Ning Ziqi responded diplomatically.

Then he glanced around: "Where’s Zihuan? I haven’t seen him?"

"Hmph, just mentioning him makes me angry, such bad luck landed me with this kind of son..." Ning Qinghuan grumbled.

Bai Xue’s eyes flashed slightly, sitting beside Ning Ziqi, portraying the image of a gentle and obedient girlfriend.

"I’ve had bad luck indeed, getting stuck with such a nephew..." Both grumbled powerlessly, only venting through words.

Ning Ziqi chuckled inwardly, for handling these two, someone like Zihuan is needed.

"Awoo!" A dog bark sounded through the clouds, all four instinctively shivered.

Soon a large Tibetan Mastiff appeared from the second floor, diving down with its jaws open wide, more fearsome than a wolf.

"Oh my gosh." Ning Qinghua and Ning Qinghuan screamed simultaneously, jumping onto the sofa and hugging tightly together.
