“No, no, what are you calling me?”

Xiao Nuo seemed to be listening quietly, but suddenly asked.

“Nuonuo!” Ding Ning replied in astonishment.

“Liar, you are a liar. You are not Ding Ning. Get out…”

Xiao Nuo suddenly became agitated and shouted in the consciousness sea.

Ding Ning suddenly had an idea, “Big ass, wake up quickly, or I’ll spank you.”

“Ah…”

Xiao Nuo’s agitated voice stopped abruptly, and she asked with deep surprise in a choking voice, “Rogue, is it really you? You really are alive?”

“Big ass, no one knows this nickname of yours except for me, right? Now you believe I am still alive.”

Ding Ning took a deep breath and thought that she seemingly liked this nickname quite a bit. Thinking of her cute butt, he felt fervent desire in his heart and shamelessly said with a smirk, “Big ass, do you miss the feeling of being spanked by me? Wake up quickly, and I’ll spank you every day after you wake up.”

“Rogue, you are so annoying!”

Xiao Nuo cursed reproachfully with no anger but great tenderness in her tone.

“Well, wake up. I am still waiting to lead you to make great contributions.”

Ding Ning was not a fool and could definitely understand her thought. He persuaded softly.

“I have no interest in great contributions, but just want to see you alive.”

After experiencing the moment between life and death, Xiao Nuo realized how important Ding Ning was in her mind. She was not interested in great contributions.

“Silly girl, it is related to a huge drug trafficking case. I have been focused on this clue. If it turns out as I expected, there may be a deal these days. My Nuonuo is a policewoman. How can you watch drugs enter the mainland and poison our Chinese compatriots? So, wake up quickly. People in the motherland need you.”

Ding Ning guided her thought and inspired her inner sense of justice.

“Then do you need me?”

Unexpectedly, this girl didn’t be fooled by him at all and directly asked the question that she usually wanted to ask but couldn’t.

“Of course I need you. I miss your big ass and want to spank you.”

Ding Ning said sincerely. He really missed Xiao Nuo’s cute butt, and the feeling of spanking her lingered in his heart.

“Rogue, I… I will let you spank me every day, okay?”

Xiao Nuo considered it a dream, so she said everything she didn’t dare to say in normal times. The infinite shyness in her tone made Ding Ning feel ripples in his heart.

“Well, I will do it gently, haha!”

Ding Ning loved this spiritual communication which sounded like flirting.

“Rogue, promise me, don’t scare me like this anymore, okay? Even if I die, I don’t want you to encounter any danger. If you die for saving me, it’s meaningless for me to stay alive.”

Xiao Nuo changed the subject and said very seriously.

Ding Ning’s bad mood suddenly vanished. He felt touched and solemnly said, “Nuonuo, I promise you, I will never let you encounter any danger in future.”

“Well, knowing that you care about me so much, I am very happy. I should wake up. I must see you at first sight, otherwise, I will never wake up.”

The girl had learned to threaten him, which made Ding Ning both moved and angry, “Do not worry, I am by your side. Try hard to open your eyes, and you will see me.”

“She wakes up. Sister Nuo wakes up. I saw her eyelashes quiver.”

Xiaoyao shouted nervously in a low voice. Mosquito and Huzi also came up, staring excitedly at Xiao Nuo’s eyes.

Meng Wanrong, who was in another room, couldn’t sit still. She stood up nervously and was going to see her baby girl, but was stopped by Xiao Baiyu.

Master Xiao stroked his chin, felt relieved and waved his hand to tell him, “Let Wanrong go and have a look. It is not appropriate for her to stay away from her daughter. Baiyu and I are not going there now.”

“Well, I will go there now.”

Meng Wanrong could hardly wait to go there, but Xiao Baiyu stopped her and told her, “It’s not the time now. Don’t expose his identity. He still doesn’t know that he is our son-in-law. Just treat him as Nuonuo’s good friend.”

“Well, I know!”

Meng Wanrong impatiently replied and went there in haste.

“Baiyu, how is the investigation of the thing happening that year going on?”

For the first time, Master Xiao was concerned about the old case.

“I am still investigating. The guy behind it was cunning and acted resolutely and efficiently. He murdered people to prevent divulgence of his secrets in a ferocious way. Although there is no evidence, all the clues point to the Zhao family.”

With a hint of helplessness on his face, Xiao Baiyu said, “After all, I am an armyman. My sensitive identity makes it very inconvenient to investigate this thing.”

Master Xiao stroked his chin and said with a trace of resoluteness on his face, “Since it is related to my grandson-in-law, I can’t sit by idly and remain indifferent. Well, from today, I hand over the right of commanding “Martial Shadow Guards” of our family to you, and they will fully assist you to find out the truth.”

“Dad! If you do this, it will be hard to explain to eldest brother.”

Xiao Baiyu looked delighted at first and then said hesitantly.

“Humph! Although your eldest brother is the master, “Martial Shadow Guards” is built by me and they only take orders from me. I can hand over the right of commanding them to anyone as I want.”

Master Xiao seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the current master of the Xiao Family, so he ignored the current master and directly handed over the most mysterious force of the family to Xiao Baiyu.

Seeing Xiao Baiyu still hesitate, master Xiao waved his hand impatiently, “Why are you so hesitant? If you have been working in the military department, how could I hand over the position of master to your disappointing eldest brother? He has made our dignified Xiao family pestilential, spent all day attaching himself to persons in power and played some lousy diplomatic means. Our Xiao family is on the decline and will be doomed in his hands sooner or later. He really disappoints me. You should take the position of master after retiring a few years later.”

“Me? Forget it. My temper makes me unsuitable to be the master. If eldest brother fails to do it well, we have Chubei. He is about to come back after finishing his study in the U.S. You can hand it over to him.”

Xiao Baiyu made it clear that he didn’t want to take over the position of the master, but he couldn’t bear his eldest brother Xiao Baiyi’s behaviors. Xiao Baiyi was a narrow-minded person who ignored his family and only had interests in his eyes.

If he didn’t need Xiao Baiyu’s military identity any more and master Xiao wasn’t alive, he would probably try every means to expel Xiao Baiyu from the Xiao family.

In particular, the marriage of Xiao Nuo made master Xiao had a complexion against Xiao Baiyu for more than 20 years. It must be related to Xiao Baiyi’s provocation and estrangement.

Xiao Baiyu understood Xiao Baiyi’s thought. Xiao Baiyi intended to unite with other families by Xiao Nuo’s marriage and thus to strengthen the power of the Xiao Family.

The Xiao family had a relatively low ranking among the top families in Yanjing. It had no great achievements in the business and political circles, but had a great influence in the military circles.

Because Xiao Baiyu’s occupation required him to keep secrets, even Xiao Baiyi did not know that his second brother had secretly become a general and thought he was just a major general of a small military region.

A major general could be considered a big shot in the military circles, but it was no big deal in the circle of the top families in Yanjing.

As Master Xiao retired from the leading post, the influence of the Xiao family in the military circles had gradually decreased, and the Xiao family began to decline.

It was understandable for Xiao Baiyi, who was the master, to strengthen the Xiao family by uniting with other families by Xiao Nuo’s marriage. However, Xiao Baiyu’s insistence made him and Xiao Baiyi, who used to have a good relationship, gradually alienate each other.

As Master Xiao’s health became increasingly poor, Xiao Baiyi became increasingly powerful. He gradually began to comply in public but oppose in private, disparage Xiao Baiyu’s branch and oppress them in disguised ways.

Especially after Xiao Chunan’s disappearance, Xiao Baiyu had no successor, so Xiao Baiyi acted more and more outrageously.

Xiao Baiyu was busy with military affairs and stayed away from home all day, while Xiao Nuo left home out of spite. Meng Wanrong was the one who suffered most.

Fortunately, Meng Wanrong was cultured and civilized, ran the household frugally and was so peaceful that she treated everyone kindly, so master Xiao appreciated her a lot. With master Xiao’s support and protection, Xiao Baiyi did not dare to treat her terribly.

“Okay, it’s settled. Chubei is the same as his father. I can’t hand over the Xiao family to their hands. If you are unwilling to take it, you can hand it over to Nuonuo. If she’s not a girl, she is more suitable than her brother to be the master. If Chunan is still alive, our Xiao Family will not… Ah!”

At the thought of his grandson Xiao Chunan, master Xiao suddenly felt sorrowful. Seeing Xiao Baiyu look gloomy, he sighed and stopped talking.

Xiao Nuo slowly opened her eyes, stared at Ding Ning’s face and could no longer look away. With slightly red eyes, she began to shed tears.

“Nuonuo, it’s alright. Look, I am still alive!”

Ding Ning held her hand and and comforted her with a chuckle.

“Rogue! Wuwu, you scared me, wuwuwu…”

Xiao Nuo ignored the pain of the wound, shouted hysterically, suddenly got up to come into Ding Ning’s arms and cried desperately.

“There, don’t cry. It’s okay. It’s all over now.”

Ding Ning held her tightly, patted her shoulder and comforted her. Thinking of the scene he saw in her memory, he wished he could save Saozhu who had been dead and then tortured and killed him thousands of times.

Xiaoyao and Mosquito were emotional. They turned around to wipe their tears, while smiling happily.

Meanwhile, Huzi looked at Ding Ning with admiration. This brother-in-law was absolutely incredible. He could even fascinate the frosty girl. He had never seen Xiao Nuo’s feminine side.

Ding Ning picked up her face, gently wiped her tears, and comforted her in the way of coaxing a child, “There, don’t cry, don’t cry. You won’t look good if you keep crying.”

“You can’t leave me even if I don’t look good.”

Xiao Nuo pouted, and said coyly. She saw only Ding Ning, while directly ignoring Mosquito and others. She was definitely the kind of person who put her boyfriend before her friends.

When she was asleep, she recalled his kiss a lot. At this moment, she woke up and fixedly stared at Ding Ning’s gentle face. The complicated feeling of recovering what she had lost made her pick up his face and kissed him without shyness.

Ding Ning opened his eyes wide. F*ck, what was she thinking? Besides the three light bulbs around, there was monitoring in the room. This scene would definitely bee seen by her family members.

Nevertheless, Xiao Nuo was the most vulnerable and needed comfort most at this moment, how could he refuse her kiss? What was more, this kiss was so sweet.

Thinking of the insults Xiao Nuo had suffered, he felt his heart burst into pain and wanted to comfort her scared heart.

Ding Ning had no other choice. He had no time to care about the mood of her family members, closed his eyes and passionately kissed the girl whom he felt tender toward.

“Uh!” Master Xiao was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. He turned around quickly. The scene was too stimulating.

He muttered secretly, “The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse, and public morality is not what is used to be. Now the young people are really too unrestrained. It’s different from the age of my youth where I would blush when holding a girl’s hand.”

Xiao Baiyu’s face turned ashen and red at the same time. He didn’t expect that his daughter would be so passionate and show such initiative. He felt jealous as if seeing his hard-planted fresh cabbage ruined by a pig.

Although he knew that it was a matter of time and this son-in-law was chosen by himself, after all, daughter was the apple of her father’s eye. Seeing it actually happened, he still felt very uncomfortable and extremely jealous, so he simply turned his head to keep them out of his sight and mind.
