Love You for the Rest of My Life-Chapter 1494: Black Team Brothers Group

Nangong Jin was debating whether to pick up the phone or not, pondering if he should at least tell them something—not the details, but just say he was busy!

While Nangong Jin was mulling it over, the other side was full of boisterous chatter.

Di Mingchen and the others were leisurely having a barbecue at the Vice Presidential Residence.

After Di Mingchen’s call was hung up yet again, he pouted in annoyance and raised his eyebrows, "Not even answering my call."

"Weird. What are those two up to?" Di Mingjue commented curiously.

Di Mingzhe and Di Mingchen shook their heads, both saying they had no idea. Tonight they were bored and decided to have a late-night barbecue gathering, starting fairly late at 10:30. But instead of calling the two right away, they waited until close to midnight before dialing them. Unexpectedly, not only did they not answer, but they rejected all three calls outright.

"What else could they be doing?" Nangong Ran said matter-of-factly while gnawing on a rib. "At this hour, obviously they’re out partying or something."

"Didn’t you say they weren’t at home?" Di Mingchen turned to look at Nangong Ran.

"Yeah," Nangong Ran nodded, grabbed a cola, gulped down a big sip, and vigorously wiped her greasy mouth as she said, "The servants said they went to Nanyuan. Probably went there to party—it’s more secluded."

Actually, it’s not even that remote. It’s just that Nanyuan is one of Nangong Jin’s private properties. After all, they couldn’t always party at the Nangong family manor. Considering Li Hui and Nangong Tiancheng needed to return home, and Nangong Xiao would come back from kindergarten, it wouldn’t be ideal.

Hearing Nangong Ran’s explanation, Di Mingchen gave her an expression of utter disdain. "I’m telling you, you little ingrate, can’t you use a tissue to wipe your mouth?"

Nangong Ran blinked her eyes and answered cheekily, "Not in the habit."

"Who cares what you think," Nangong Ran shot back and rolled her eyes too, "It’s not like I wiped my mouth with your hand, right?"

Di Mingchen: "..."

Whoa, did the little ingrate just get more assertive?

Just as he was about to fire off some snarky retort at Nangong Ran, Gu Qibao suddenly interrupted, "So what, are we calling them or not? If not, let’s wrap this up and call it a night."

"Of course we’re calling them!" Di Mingjue answered first. "Why not? We’ve got so much food left. Let’s have them come eat some—it’ll count as a late-night snack."

Truth be told, Di Mingjue had a mischievous streak. The real reason behind the whole barbecue and calling them at midnight was just to interrupt their partying.

No way was he about to let his little prank fail; Di Mingjue’s "never-ending mischief principle" was still going strong.

Besides, back when they pulled pranks on him, Nangong Jin had also happily joined in. If nothing else, he was complicit by staying silent about it!

Talk about payback—not rushing it for years if necessary. Di Mingjue was reveling in the thought.

"But he rejected all three of your calls," Di Xiaxia interjected, "Are you sure they’ll actually come? Frankly, I’d say forget it."

"Qibao, your turn to call," Di Mingjue turned to Gu Qibao.

Gu Qibao pouted, feeling that her husband’s mischief was absolutely off the charts. Fine if he was into this kind of prank, but dragging her into it was just exhausting!

"Not gonna happen—I don’t even have Jin’s number," Gu Qibao flatly refused to get roped into the prank.

Di Mingjue was displeased but refused to give up his little scheme. Grabbing the phone again, he muttered, "Alright then, I’ll call myself."

Like hell Nangong Jin could keep ignoring them!

Nangong Ran kept gnawing on her rib in frustration. She wanted to stop them but felt hopelessly outnumbered, so all she could do was keep her head down, chewing silently.
