The Scumbag Alpha's Redemption in a Sweet Romance - Chapter 33

Chapter 33

“You two have a very good relationship,” Ning Chun said unconsciously.

Yan Hua thought about it. “It’s not just very good; it’s especially good. Fengqing is like family to me. Qingqing also really likes her.”

She almost forgot about the sister. Since Yan Qingqing came back, Ning Chun hadn’t had a chance to say a few words to her. She even felt that Qingqing didn’t recognize her at all.

Childhood friend, little sister—they were both so difficult to deal with.

At this point, Ning Chun could no longer simply treat the system’s requirements as just missions.

Compared to the apocalypse, where she was decisive and swift, even parting ways with her old teammates without a second thought, she was now becoming indecisive.

When did she start becoming so wishy-washy?

She hadn’t even noticed it herself.

Although the villas were next to each other, they were not separated by a wall, but by a certain distance.

As soon as Ning Chun and Yan Hua entered the house, the butler anxiously ran out.

“You’re finally back. Miss Qingqing is not in a good mood. She’s not eating the food we brought her, and she won’t listen to anyone.”

As soon as Yan Hua heard this, she immediately went to the second floor, with Mu Fengqing following closely behind.

The butler hadn’t seen her before and tried to stop her. “And you are?”

“Yan Hua’s… regular friend,” Ning Chun explained for her.

Mu Fengqing glanced back at her, didn’t say anything, and also went upstairs.

When the three of them entered Yan Qingqing’s room, they found the little girl wrapped in a blanket, with her entire head covered.

“Qingqing, your sister is here. Please look at your sister, okay?” Yan Hua coaxed her softly, not daring to pull the blanket off directly.

She coaxed her for a long time, but she still wouldn’t come out. She even wrapped herself tighter.

It wasn’t until Mu Fengqing came forward. She knelt by the bed and said softly, “Do you want to see who I am? I bought the teddy bear you wanted before. If you don’t want it, I’ll return it.”

Shortly after she said this, a small gap appeared in the blanket, and a pair of timid eyes peeked out.

Mu Fengqing smiled sweetly. Yan Qingqing blinked her eyes and said with a sob, “Sister Fengqing?”

She couldn’t believe it, and her words were a question.

“It’s me,” Mu Fengqing said with certainty.

Yan Qingqing burst into tears, threw off the blanket, and pounced into Mu Fengqing’s arms.

Ning Chun was shocked to see this. Their relationship was still so close after not seeing each other for so long.

How deep was their connection?

Yan Hua’s emotions were normal. She didn’t find anything wrong with this. She was just a little worried about her sister’s mental state.

Mu Fengqing comforted her for as long as Yan Qingqing cried. The child was indeed very obedient to her. After crying, she became much more alert.

She even came downstairs to have dinner with everyone.

They sat at the round dining table. Yan Hua was on Ning Chun’s left, Mu Fengqing was on her right, and Yan Qingqing was in between them.

Children only want to sit with people they like.

And Ning Chun was the person she liked the least.

“Sister Fengqing, can you come see me tomorrow too?” Yan Qingqing asked carefully as she ate the food in her bowl.

Mu Fengqing filled her bowl with abalone and shark fin soup to nourish her.

“Of course. And the place I’m living is next door. Once I’ve finished moving in, I can come see you every day.”

The little girl’s eyes immediately lit up. “Then can I come to your house to play too?”

Mu Fengqing nodded.

Yan Hua also seized the opportunity. “Then you have to get better quickly so you have the energy to go out.”

Qingqing ate several mouthfuls of rice in a row after hearing this. After swallowing the food, she said, “Sister, will you come to Sister Fengqing’s house to play with me then, okay?”

She hadn’t even moved yet, but everything was already arranged so clearly.

Ning Chun held the spoon and stirred the soup in her bowl with force, making a series of clattering noises.

With just a few words, it was all decided. You would have thought that Yan Hua and her sister were just staying at this house temporarily.

The people at the table looked up at her. The air suddenly became quiet. Ning Chun put down her spoon and smoothed her hair. “It’s a little hot. I’m just letting it cool down.”

Even though Yan Qingqing was simple-minded, she sensed that something was wrong. She looked up at Ning Chun and said, “Are you unhappy? We’ll come back and see you occasionally.”

Ning Chun almost burst out laughing. What was this? Was she getting care for being a “young person in an empty nest?”

“No, I’m very busy too,” she said, refusing stubbornly.

“Really? Then I’ll just go with my sister.” Yan Qingqing was immersed in her joy. Given her current state, she was like an innocent child whose words had no malicious intent.

Ning Chun was almost so angry she could laugh, but then she thought, “Why am I getting angry with a child?”

It would make her look petty.

Mu Fengqing, on the other hand, let out a soft laugh. “I have to thank CEO Ning today for accompanying me to see so many houses. If CEO Ning is willing to give me the honor, you can also come over to be my guest.”

Hehe, who would be interested?

“Definitely. I’ll bring a good bottle of wine as a gift.”

After dinner, Ning Chun was sitting on the sofa eating fruit, and Yan Hua came over with a freshly brewed cup of tea.

“I really didn’t expect that after all this time, Qingqing would still be so attached to Fengqing,” Yan Hua said with emotion.

“I can see that. Their relationship is really good,” Ning Chun said. Yan Qingqing was playing with Legos with Mu Fengqing in the other room.

“Ning Chun, I just feel like you’re not very happy today. Are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs and rest first?” Yan Hua touched her forehead. It wasn’t hot, so she probably didn’t have a fever.

But at a time like this, how could she leave?

Ning Chun shook her head, stood up, and took a couple of steps. “I’m not tired. I have plenty of energy.”

At this moment, Mu Fengqing told Qingqing to play by herself and walked over to Yan Hua in front of Ning Chun. “Qingqing’s condition is not good. I think it’s very necessary to find a psychologist to treat her. Just now, when I was with her, although she seemed happy on the surface, her eyes were always avoiding mine, which shows that she lacks a sense of security.”

“What exactly happened during this time?”

After hearing this, Ning Chun asked, “Is there a possibility that hypnosis could help her forget about the past?”

“No,” Yan Hua refused. Qingqing might know who kidnapped her, and she was the only one who could possibly identify the culprit.

“Everyone is very tired today. I’ll consider Qingqing’s matter.” After saying that, Yan Hua called the helpers, and they took Qingqing back to the room.

“CEO Ning, do you know why Xiao Hua didn’t agree with your suggestion?” Mu Fengqing asked, looking at Yan Hua’s back.

“What’s your take on it?” Ning Chun asked, crossing her arms.

“It’s obvious that she doesn’t trust you. She didn’t even leave any room for discussion and just directly refused.”

Ning Chun frowned, but quickly realized that this was an attempt to sow discord.

“It’s her sister’s business. It’s normal for her to have many considerations. She didn’t agree with your suggestion either,” Ning Chun said, sitting on the sofa with a relaxed posture.

Mu Fengqing only chuckled when she heard this. “She will agree. CEO Ning, do you dare to make a bet that she trusts me more than you?”

A fighting spirit was instantly triggered. Ning Chun was not to be outdone. “What’s the bet?”

“If I win, from now on, whenever I meet with Xiao Hua, CEO Ning must take the initiative to stay away.”

That was too much!

What was her status, and what was Ning Chun’s status? How dare she use the word “stay away.”

“Then if I win, you can’t see Yan Hua privately anymore, whether at your house, my house, or anywhere else,” Ning Chun said through gritted teeth.

“Deal.”

Shortly after the bet, Ning Chun felt she was a fool. She was already by Yan Hua’s side, so why would she make a bet and humiliate herself?

She must have been crazy.

This childhood friend was also no pushover.

The thought of the upcoming deadly plot gave Ning Chun a headache.

The original plot said that Mu Fengqing would find compelling evidence for Yan Hua and deliver a heavy blow to Ning Chun, which would also implicate the Ning family and lead to a tragic outcome.

Mu Fengqing was an A-level Alpha, which was a higher rank than Ning Chun was currently. And she was now working by her side. Who knows when she would find that hidden evidence?

This was like a huge bomb that could explode at any moment.

After Mu Fengqing left, Ning Chun called Ning Qing, trying to get this “great Buddha” to leave.

To this, Ning Qing said it was impossible.

She also said that on the surface, Mu Fengqing was working for her, but in reality, she was working for the project. She would be transferred once the project was over.

Ning Chun almost wanted to die. “Sister, that big project of yours will take a few years to even start construction. When will that be?”

Since she couldn’t get her to leave, Ning Chun decided to put her effort into the bet. It was just trust. She could also gain Yan Hua’s trust.

When they were resting that night, before Ning Chun could say anything, Yan Hua spoke first. “Not many people know about Qingqing’s situation. I have my concerns and don’t want her to be affected by the outside world again.”

“I won’t tell outsiders, and my family won’t either,” Ning Chun said after thinking for a moment. “Is it because you want to find the person who hurt her?”

Yan Hua’s expression was tense and her mood was low. “I can’t just ignore it. The person who hurt my sister must pay the price.”

At this moment, Ning Chun also guessed the reason for her refusal. She thought of something and said, “I saved a person, and she might have clues.”

This person was, of course, the proprietress of Yinpan Wine Street. Since she saved her last time, Ning Chun hadn’t contacted her again.

Fortunately, although this person was a bit ruthless in her business dealings, she was still trustworthy.

Before leaving, she left a contact method, but it was an address, not a phone number.

She had said that she would tell her everything she wanted to know.

After hearing this, Yan Hua felt a little excited and wanted to find that person quickly.

“What’s her name? What does she look like? Can we go find her tomorrow?” The questions came one after another, making Ning Chun not know which one to answer first.

She grabbed Yan Hua’s hands and made her sit down. “Actually, you’ve seen her before. It was that time we went to the wine street.”

“Ning Chun, you’re still joking at a time like this!” What kind of good person could be from a place like that? Yan Hua clenched her fists and hit her. Although it didn’t hurt much, she was genuinely angry.

“My dear, I’m not joking. The last time we went was also to find clues, but you were in the hospital at the time, and we were delayed. By the time I went to check, the place was already empty.” Ning Chun held her two wrists with one hand and wrapped her other arm around her waist, making her unable to move.

“Was that time for that too?” Yan Hua was a little stunned. At that time, she thought Ning Chun took her there to intentionally humiliate her.

So it was a misunderstanding.

“Of course.”

So she had done so much behind the scenes.

“Alright. You can let go of me now. I’ll go with you tomorrow. I have to be with you when you see her too.” She didn’t go with her last time, so who knows what happened between them.
