Chapter 143 Persuasion
Bai Nini's barrage of sharp questions bombarded Alice like a rapid-fire barrage, catching her off guard and leaving her speechless. Alice's mouth trembled for a long moment, but in the end, no words could escape her lips. Her mind was blank, completely unsure how to react to the situation.
Seeing Alice like this, Bai Nini shook her head helplessly, with a trace of pity in her eyes, as if she was looking at a childish and ridiculous child.
She sighed softly and said, "Alas... wait until the day you can think clearly whether you love Qin Nuo as a person or just your own strong possessive desire, then come back and argue with me! Right now, you don't even understand what true love is."
Alice's fair face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple, her heart filled with shame and indignation. She bit her lip tightly, turned around, and hurriedly left the room that made her feel so embarrassed.
As she stepped out of the room, she was stunned by the sight before her—Qin Nuo stood tall and straight, with the elegant Luo Shujun beside him, and her cousin quietly standing behind them. This sudden scene made Alice's already turbulent emotions even more tangled, and an indescribable embarrassment instantly surged in her heart.
Alice felt as if her throat was clogged with cotton. She wanted to say something to break the suffocating silence, but her mind was blank. She had no idea where to begin. At this moment, a sharp pang of bitterness suddenly hit her nose, and tears began to well up in her eyes, seemingly ready to burst out at any moment.
Andrew, who had been paying attention to Alice, saw this and hurried forward. He stretched out his hand and gently held her slightly trembling shoulders. He lowered his voice and said softly, "Dear sister, it's getting late, and the guests also need to have a good rest. Let's go quickly!" After that, he smiled and nodded slightly to Qin Nuo and Luo Shujun, then turned around and left carefully with Alice, gradually disappearing at the corner at the end of the corridor.
Luo Shujun looked at Qin Nuo with a smile on his face and said in a cheerful tone, "Xiao Nuo, when you return home during the Chinese New Year, I will hold an engagement ceremony with your aunt-in-law. We have already planned to officially enter the marriage hall in May next year!"
Hearing this, Qin Nuo couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and blurted out: "Isn't this too fast?"
Luo Shujun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious and confident smile. He slowly said, "You know, I'm a rather dull person, and I know nothing about romantic things. So I'm worried that one day Dandan will suddenly change her mind and not want me anymore. What should I do then? Therefore, I have to seize this opportunity and tie her firmly to my side as soon as possible!"
Qin Nuo nodded thoughtfully and said in agreement: "Well, it does seem to make sense! After all, grandpa and grandma have always been looking forward to having a grandson soon! Uncle, I wish you and aunt happiness! Good night!" After that, Qin Nuo gently walked to the door, raised his hand and knocked politely.
There was a slight sound as the door opened a narrow crack. Then, Bai Nini's cute little face appeared through the crack. She frowned, glared at Qin Nuo fiercely, and said angrily, "Huh, is it fun to hide here and eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
Qin Nuo didn't feel embarrassed or ashamed at all. Instead, a mischievous smile flickered in his eyes as he responded with a smile: "Haha, so you've already noticed me?"
Bai Nini frowned slightly and asked with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you go to bed so late at night? What are you doing standing here like a log?"
Qin Nuo smiled, his bright eyes gleaming with gentleness as he softly replied, "Nini, I'm worried about you! I was afraid you'd be bullied, so I came to check on you. Who would have thought I'd hear your passionate confession of love? Hehe, it turns out you love me so much!"
Bai Nini couldn't help but yawn loudly after hearing this, then waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop worrying! Go back to your room and go to sleep! You have to get up early tomorrow."
However, at this moment, Qin Nuo's tone suddenly became a little aggrieved, and he muttered pitifully: "Nini, don't you really notice anything wrong?"
Bai Nini couldn't help but giggle at his expression. Then, a smile as bright and radiant as a spring flower instantly spread across her fair and adorable little face. She replied coquettishly, "Huh, of course I noticed! Oh, you actually secretly went out to get a new hairstyle! What's going on? Are you trying to look more mature and stable, and a little cool at the same time? Tsk tsk tsk, you're so conceited! And you haven't been here long, and you've already attracted a bad peach blossom. It's really worrying!"
Qin Nuo's handsome face was now filled with aggrieved expression, tears glistening in his star-like eyes, and he said with a trembling voice, "I prepared this carefully for you with all my heart and soul!" As if he had been greatly wronged.
Meanwhile, in another room of the luxurious villa, the atmosphere was tense. The tall, imposing Andrew, his face filled with fury, roared like an angry lion at the delicate and beautiful Alice before him, "Zhang Jinglan! Are all the men in the world dead? Why do you insist on clinging to Qin Nuo and refusing to let go? And tonight, first again and again, you've done things that deliberately embarrass Bai Nini!"
Alice was frightened by Andrew's sudden roar. She knew that her brother would only call her by her little-known Chinese name when he was extremely angry. At this moment, her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
Andrew, the man considered the future ruler of the Zhang family, was like a mountain that Alice couldn't easily cross. Whenever she faced Andrew, Alice couldn't help but feel a little fear in her heart.
