"On the Day of Reunion, The Heir to the Wealthy Family Became My Brother" - Chapter 21

The next day, Ning Xiner woke up very early.

Perhaps because she was in an unfamiliar environment, she surprisingly woke up at six o’clock.

As a two-day babysitter, she felt responsible and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the day.

The kitchen was well-stocked with ingredients, but she was still stumped.

Because… she forgot to ask Huo Jinyan what he wanted for breakfast.

After thinking for a moment, an idea flashed in her mind, and she began to work.

When she finished, she peeked toward the direction of the master bedroom, but Huo Jinyan didn’t seem to be coming out.

So, she decided to go and wash the clothes.

She still needed yesterday’s clothes to return to school.

In the laundry room, after hanging up her own clothes, Ning Xiner noticed another washing machine with freshly washed clothes inside. They seemed to belong to Huo Jinyan.

Ning Xiner hesitated for a moment.

Since she was acting as Huo Jinyan’s weekend babysitter, hanging up his clothes should be part of her duties, right?

So, she opened the lid and took them out to hang.

When she was hanging the last piece, something fell out.

Ning Xiner looked down and saw… a pair of gray underwear lying on the floor.

Were they Huo Jinyan’s?

Did she drop Huo Jinyan’s underwear on the floor?

Ning Xiner’s face changed slightly. She carefully picked them up, planning to wash them again.

Huo Jinyan, with his sharp tongue, would definitely scold her if he found out his clothes had been dropped on the floor.

“What are you doing? ”

Speaking of the devil, and he appears. Huo Jinyan suddenly showed up at the door.

Ning Xiner froze, reluctantly turned her head, and forced a smile. “Well, it’s like this, your…”

Before she could finish, a shadow flashed in front of her.

The gray underwear was suddenly in Huo Jinyan’s hand, leaving Ning Xiner’s hand empty and a bit awkward.

“Listen, I…”

“Ning Xiner, don’t touch my things, especially these kinds of things.”

Huo Jinyan’s tone was stiff.

She could feel his anger and reluctance. It seemed Huo Jinyan had already noticed… she had dropped his things on the floor.

Ning Xiner lowered her head and softly apologized, “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”

Her quick attitude of admitting fault made Huo Jinyan pause slightly. The words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

Damn it, didn’t she know that a man’s underwear shouldn’t be touched casually?

Huo Jinyan finally just let out a “hmm” and reminded her, “I want breakfast at 7:30.”

“Okay.” Ning Xiner quickly fled the scene.

She didn’t want to see Huo Jinyan’s sour face again, as if someone owed him money.

Why was he so fierce!

At 7:30 in the morning, breakfast was served smoothly.

Huo Jinyan sat at the dining table, staring at Ning Xiner. “Are you sure this is… breakfast? ”

Ning Xiner nodded quickly. “Aren’t these all your favorites? Eight-treasure porridge and Chinese pancakes.”

She looked at Huo Jinyan with her big, watery eyes, as if waiting for his opinion.

Huo Jinyan was momentarily speechless.

She still remembered what he liked to eat.

Actually, these were all Ning Xiner’s favorites. In the past, he had deliberately said he liked them too, just to go along with her.

Forget it. At least she still had some conscience and remembered the past.

“Hmm, eat more,” Huo Jinyan replied to her lightly.

Ning Xiner let out a sigh of relief. She thought she might have crossed this man’s bottom line twice in just one morning.

Why hadn’t she noticed before how hard it was to please Huo Jinyan?

Maybe she just wasn’t cut out to be a babysitter.

Whenever she tried, things just didn’t go smoothly.

…

At nine in the morning, Ning Xiner lay bored in the guest bedroom, not daring to go to the living room.

Since Huo Jinyan was working from home today, she didn’t dare wander around openly, afraid she might accidentally annoy him.

Surprisingly, Huo Jinyan didn’t ask her to clean the house. She had thought she’d be cleaning the entire place and end up exhausted.

It seemed her babysitting job wasn’t too demanding after all.

Suddenly, her phone rang at her feet.

She kicked it up with her foot and grabbed it.

Looking at the screen, the name displayed was Qiao Shan.

Qiao Shan? Taking the initiative to message someone?

In all their years at university, although they had added each other on WeChat, they had never chatted.

Not even once!

Ning Xiner raised an eyebrow and opened the chat. Qiao Shan had typed a few words: “Are you still going to the part-time job tonight? ”

Part-time job? Selling drinks!

Ning Xiner slapped her forehead. After everything that happened yesterday, she had completely forgotten about her part-time job.

Before yesterday, she would have definitely gone.

But now… she probably couldn’t.

“No, I have another part-time job this weekend.”

“Huh? What kind of job? Does it pay well? Take me with you.”

The reply came quickly.

Qiao Shan suddenly being so talkative was something Ning Xiner had never seen before.

Her impression of Qiao Shan was that she rarely spoke. Even if someone said something to her, she’d only reply with one word at most.

“No need, we’re not short of people,” Ning Xiner politely declined.

Exactly. They weren’t short of people, just short of her to repay a favor.

After that message, there was no reply for a long time.

An hour later.

Ning Xiner appeared at the side gate of A University. She planned to go back to her dorm to grab a few sets of clothes.

She had no choice. Huo Jinyan insisted she stay there.

She will go crazy if she does not change her clothes.

Just as she was about to enter, a strong hand grabbed her arm.

Ning Xiner turned around in confusion.

What she saw shocked her.

Wang Niu was here again!

This chubby girl was really persistent about Huo Jingtian!

“If you want to pursue Huo Jingtian, go ahead and try. I have no objections,” Ning Xiner glared at Wang Niu coldly. “But if you still want to fight…”

Before Ning Xiner could finish, there was a loud thud. Wang Niu knelt down!

“What are you doing? ” Ning Xiner was shocked. Yesterday, this girl was so arrogant.

Tears welled up in Wang Niu’s eyes. “Yesterday was my fault. Please, have mercy and forgive me.”

Forgive her?

Ning Xiner was puzzled.

“Yesterday, one of the girls from your dorm lent me an access card and even told me where your dorm was. I was momentarily foolish and made a big mistake.”

“Please forgive me, forgive me.”

Ning Xiner frowned. A girl from her dorm?

“Who?”

“The name on the access card was Qiao Shan.”

Ning Xiner was stunned. Wasn’t Qiao Shan with Huo Jingtian yesterday?

Why would she lend Wang Niu the access card?

Could it be…

“I’ve told you the truth. Can you forgive me? ” Wang Niu clung tightly to Ning Xiner’s arm, pleading.

Ning Xiner shook off Wang Niu’s hand. “What does that have to do with anything? ”

“When you slandered me yesterday, you didn’t hold back at all.”

Wang Niu wanted to teach a lesson to “Huo Jingtian’s girlfriend” because she already had the intention to do so.

Someone lending her the access card was just an opportunity, not the cause.

Besides, with Wang Niu’s habit of lying and blaming others, everything was simply her own fault.
