Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1105 - 1083: Guarding Her for So Many Years
Nie Yixiao’s eyelids twitched slightly, as if guessing something: "What are the conditions?"
Ning Xiaochuan didn’t intend to use this as an exchange, but really, there was no other way: "Yixiao, Dad will fulfill your wish, but after you return from Mexico, you have to come back to the Ning Family with me, okay?"
Nie Yixiao paused: "Okay."
——————————
Mexico, the capital, Mexico City.
In the Chinese District, an antique mansion reminiscent of China’s Ming and Qing architecture stood among the nearby South American structures, stately, unique, and distinctive.
Next to the mansion was a courtyard filled with flowers, surrounded by bodyguards, all with black hair and yellow skin, Chinese.
At a glance, it was clear that everyone living here was Chinese.
On the second floor of the mansion, in a spacious bedroom, a man leaned against the bed.
The man was middle-aged, with a high nose bridge and thin lips, his features handsome and striking, clearly a dashing young man back in the day. He still had some of his former charm, but his skin was pale, and he looked very weak.
He was Qiao Zonghan, the head of this generation of the Longding Society.
The redwood door creaked open, breaking the afternoon quiet.
A delicate figure walked in carrying medicine and a glass of water, and seeing Qiao Zonghan awake, tilted her head and smiled: "Big brother is awake, perfect, time to take your medicine."
Qiao Zonghan looked at the two dark circles under Qiao Yongyong’s eyes, speaking softly: "You’ve had it tough these days, Yongyong."
Ever since he was shot that year, his health had been declining, with frequent relapses requiring bed rest from time to time.
Recently, because of the season change, his entire body ached, and Qiao Zonghan’s old illness flared up, leaving Yongyong and a few trusted aides to manage the society.
Apart from society matters, Yongyong had to personally take care of him every day, becoming thin from exhaustion.
If it weren’t for his poor health, Yongyong could have enjoyed a freer, more relaxed life, choosing the life she wanted. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn’t help but blame himself.
Qiao Yongyong handed over the cup and medicine, pouting as if she were a child: "When I was little, big brother took care of me like this all the time. Since brother didn’t feel it was tough, neither do I."
Qiao Zonghan showed a comforting smile, took the medicine, and spoke: "Yongyong, I heard from Uncle Mike that you decided to go to next month’s arms deal?"
"Yes."
"No. I feel uneasy about that kind of deal. The other party are no saints, and if something goes wrong, I’m afraid you, as a girl, might suffer."
Qiao Yongyong smirked: "Such a big deal requires the head to go. Your health has been poor recently, and if we let Uncle Mike go alone for the deal, they might think we’re disrespecting them. But if your little sister goes instead, they won’t say anything. Don’t worry, big brother, it’s not my first day handling society affairs, and Uncle Mike will accompany me."
"But—" Yongyong is the gem stone in his palm, and if it weren’t for his health, he wouldn’t want his sister involved in these businesses or dealing with those people.
"No buts, I’ll be careful."
Seeing his sister’s determined eyes, Qiao Zonghan said nothing more, but still stared at her: "Mike said the detective agency you commissioned has gotten back, saying they’ve found that person’s father, is it true?"
This Uncle Mike, truly his number one confidant, reported everything. Qiao Yongyong pursed her lips.
"Since you returned from Yunling to Mexico three years ago, you’ve commissioned the detective agency to help Mr. Nie find his family. Three years... you’ve put so much effort into this, and he doesn’t even know. Is it worth it?"
Qiao Yongyong’s expression shifted: "Big brother, don’t worry, I can’t be with him. Helping him find his family is repaying the life-saving favor he did for me in China."
Although Qiao Zonghan had never married, being older than Qiao Yongyong, he could clearly see her feelings.
Originally, he thought that after Yongyong returned to the country, she would forget that man after a while.
Unexpectedly, Yongyong was serious about that man. This one-sided love has continued for three years, and she has quietly done so much for him.
Yongyong doesn’t know, while she secretly loves that man, her brother, too, considers Yongyong his heart and soul. Whatever she wanted, he would fight for it with everything he had.
Qiao Zonghan said slowly: "Is it because he indirectly caused me harm that you gave up being with him? If that’s the case..."
Qiao Yongyong took a deep breath, interrupting: "Even if it weren’t for that, I couldn’t be with him."
He is a favored son of heaven, an elite of society, with limitless prospects. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
And what is she? A mafia maiden seen as a thorn in the side by government agencies worldwide, a dark and negative figure.
If in a martial arts drama, he would be the typical master of a famous sect, a revered figure that shines wherever he goes, and she would be the kind of little demoness everyone shouts to catch?
In his heart, he probably never regarded her seriously.
And now, it’s even more impossible.
He turns out to be a son of a general’s family in China.
The young master of the Ning Family.
Upon learning about his family from the detective, she felt the distance between them was no longer just a few walls, but stretched over ten thousand miles.
A young master from a red family and a mafia miss, it’s like heaven and earth.
This lifetime, with him, there’s completely no hope.
Who matches him would be daughters of noble families in political circles, distinguished demoiselles, definitely not her.
Qiao Zonghan saw the loneliness on his sister’s face and said no more: "Alright, I finished the medicine. You look tired, go back to your room and sleep."
Qiao Yongyong playfully leaned on the edge of the bed: "I’ll sleep here."
As a child, she loved to sleep with her head on Qiao Zonghan’s knee, and could sleep the whole afternoon like that, and then big brother would gently carry her back to her bedroom.
Qiao Zonghan looked at her with affection, placed a soft pillow under her head, and brushed her hair aside: "You’re so grown up yet still like a child, sleep."
Qiao Yongyong was really tired, and shortly after laying her head on the pillow, she fell into a deep sleep.
Qiao Zonghan gazed at his sister’s sleeping face, her eyelashes drooping, breathing evenly, like a serene baby.
Once upon a time, that crystal-clear, rosy-cheeked little girl who wasn’t afraid of anything has grown up into a sweet and lovely young lady.
Unknowingly, he has been guarding her for so many years.
He instinctively brushed away a lock of hair on her face and sighed softly: "Yongyong, I know you don’t want to handle the Longding Society’s business. It’s all big brother’s fault for making you give up the life you wanted and even the person you liked."
Suddenly, Qiao Zonghan’s eyelashes flickered, a strange gleam passed through his eyes.
He lowered his head and gently kissed the forehead of the sleeping Qiao Yongyong.
