The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 648: Chapter 0650: Nangong Yunhai

Huai Fu Fangyang, in the end, wasn’t as shameless as Zheng Yan, unable to spout nonsense with eyes wide open. Therefore, she was instantly silenced by Zheng Yan, wanting to counterattack but not knowing how to.

Fortunately, Nangong Man Sha was bold. Hearing Zheng Yan belittling her mother like that, she couldn’t hold back.

Thus, Nangong Man Sha raised an eyebrow, her already radiant face gained an additional charm, she crossed her arms as she circled around Nangong Yun Ruo and then stood right in front of him. noveldrama

Nangong Man Sha was nearly 1.7 meters tall, which was quite tall for a girl. Nangong Yun Ruo, because his mother Zheng Yan was not very tall, was also only about 1.7 meters. Looking at them, Nangong Man Sha was about the same height as Nangong Yun Ruo, so even when she stood in front of this man, there was no hint of weakness in her presence.

"Well, well, well, such a big child we have here, I’ve really seen something new today. Aunty, Yun Ruo is only a few months younger than me, my brother Yun Hai never said he was still a child, yet you claim Yun Ruo is a child, aren’t you looking down on him? Oh dear, Aunty, this really won’t do, if you treat him like this, Yun Ruo will turn out bad, become one of those ’momma’s boys,’ you know? It’s quite popular on the internet now, referring to men in their twenties who still think they’re kids and just cry for their moms all day."

Nangong Man Sha wasn’t as gentle as Huai Fu Fangyang, and her words were sharp. Her gaze was piercing as well, and although she didn’t directly express her disdain for Nangong Yun Ruo, her attitude was provoking enough to infuriate Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan was so angry that her body began to tremble slightly. Looking at the patriarchs of the two families, Old Master Nangong’s eldest son Nangong Linchuan and the second son Nangong Yang, both seemed to have not noticed the struggle between the women and remained silent.

Although Nangong Yun Ruo was angry that Nangong Man Sha dared to look down on him, he knew that she wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Growing up, he had never gotten the better of her, so naturally, even with the discontent in his heart, Nangong Yun Ruo had to endure.

"Hmph! Can’t be bothered to argue with you!" Nangong Yun Ruo snorted coldly and turned his head to look outside. That glance happened to catch Chu Ge saying something amusing, and even the usually grave Old Master Nangong was laughed heartily.

In Nangong Yun Ruo’s memory, it had been a long time since he had seen Old Master Nangong laugh so heartily. On normal days, even when facing them with a smile, it was only a slight one. Such a hearty laugh had never been seen before.

Nangong Yun Ruo’s movements were too significant, so it was impossible for the people nearby not to notice. Zheng Yan, who hadn’t realized at first, called out to Nangong Yun Ruo twice. Seeing he didn’t respond and was just staring outside, she followed his gaze and immediately saw Old Master Nangong having a pleasant chat with Chu Ge, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Her expression was so obvious that it instantly drew the attention of others. Apart from Nangong Linchuan and his wife who had returned with Chu Ge, everyone else turned to look outside and showed surprised expressions.

Chu Ge was no ordinary man. When Nangong Yun Ruo glanced over, although he had his back to the direction of the living room, he still acutely sensed the gaze. Then, when the gaze of others swept over his back, it was an uncomfortable feeling he could not simply ignore, even if he wanted to.

Despite his inner discomfort towards such scrutiny, Chu Ge’s demeanor remained calm, as if he hadn’t noticed the many curious eyes examining him from the living room. He continued conversing with Mr. Nangong, laughing when it was appropriate, and being serious when needed, without a hint of nervousness, which led Mr. Nangong to nod in approval secretly.

Mr. Nangong’s position was facing the living room. He noticed the younger members of the family as soon as they appeared but paid them no attention. Despite their stares, all his attention remained focused on Chu Ge, as if he saw right through those young ones.

The first one who couldn’t stand it was Nangong Yun Ruo. Looking at the back of Chu Ge, he felt a sense of familiarity, having seen Chu Ge before. However, he didn’t have a good impression of him. To be more precise, he lacked a good impression of anyone more handsome, with a better figure, and more capable than himself – and, unfortunately for him, Chu Ge possessed all these qualities.

Although Nangong Yun Ruo did not understand why his grandfather was so delighted to talk to someone almost his grandson’s age, he instinctively felt uneasy. After all, he was the one bearing the Nangong name, the true grandson of Old Master Nangong. Seeing the Old Master laughing heartily with Chu Ge, he felt disgruntled, fearing that if they spent too much time together, his grandfather might favor Chu Ge over him – which was unacceptable, as their inheritance had yet to be divided.

With such thoughts, Nangong Yun Ruo stopped hesitating and, with hands shoved into his pockets, walked out towards the lawn. He wanted to see for himself what abilities Chu Ge had, to make his grandfather laugh so openly.

Leading the way, Nangong Yun Ruo stepped out first. Zheng Yan exchanged a look with her husband Nangong Yang, and they followed suit. After a few steps, Zheng Yan turned back, pulling her second son, Nangong Yunpeng, with her as they walked outside.

Although Nangong Yunpeng was reluctant, being pulled along by his mother Zheng Yan, he had no choice but to lower his head and walk out unwillingly.

With the second branch leaving, only the eldest branch of the family remained in the room. Huai Fu Fangyang, seeing Zheng Yan’s eager attitude, shook his head helplessly and then said to his two children, "You might as well go too; after all, it’s been a long time since you’ve seen your grandfather."

Nangong Man Sha, of course, intended to go. She couldn’t stand Zheng Yan’s triumphant demeanor, not to mention that even at home, with strangers around, given Zheng Yan’s selfish nature, who knew if she might badmouth the main branch in front of Old Master Nangong? Her own parents might be good-natured and devoted solely to Mr. Nangong, but her temperament was not as accommodating.

"Yun Hai, let’s go see Grandfather," Nangong Man Sha said, striding ahead to lead the way.

"Wait for me, sister!" Nangong Yunhai followed immediately, but rather than dwelling on his second uncle, second aunt, or Old Master Nangong, he was more curious about Chu Ge, who sat turned away from them. For some reason, even without seeing Chu Ge’s face, Nangong Yunhai inexplicably felt a sense of affinity towards him.
