Chapter 1435: If My Dad Finds Out, He’ll Kill You

After Feng Yi bit into that beef jerky, the smell got even stronger, now with a numbing spiciness to it.

Ning Yan watched Feng Yi eating beef jerky right in front of him, his face blank. The usually calm Youth had a vein twitch on his forehead, his voice dropping low: "What exactly are you trying to do? Eating in my laboratory?"

Feng Yi said with perfect confidence: "Isn’t it that Uncle Ning can’t just eat whatever he wants? I know you can’t, so I’m eating it for you, to help satisfy your cravings. That’s what all those eating-show up hosts do, right?"

Ning Yan: "..."

Ha, eating for him, to satisfy his cravings.

Ha ha, what a great idea.

Once she started, Feng Yi’s appetite completely opened up. She kept stuffing piece after piece into her mouth, the spicy fragrance spreading in her mouth, and her pretty lips turned red from the heat.

Ning Yan’s face was dark as he looked at the crumbs on the floor: "Miss Feng, if you want to eat, please go to the cafeteria, or go back to Professor Tang Lide’s place and eat to your heart’s content. You..."

The little girl suddenly hugged the box, stamping her feet from the spice: "I can’t stand it, it’s too spicy, I need water."

Ning Yan: "..." Here we go again.

"Water, I need water." Feng Yi, overwhelmed by the spice, ran all over the laboratory, tongue out, fanning herself nonstop with her hands.

Ning Yan, face still stern, turned around and went to pour a cup of hot water and brought it over.

It had been a long time since things had been this lively...

His laboratory was always extremely cold and quiet. Other than Bo Bo’s mechanical sounds, there was nothing else to hear.

After Feng Yi gulped down a big cup, she finally let out a breath and said, "My mama’s level at making beef jerky ten-plus years ago was really not it, it’s a bit too spicy."

Ning Yan said nothing.

Ning Yan reached out to take the now-useless disposable paper cup, tossed it into the trash can, and said, "Your eating performance is done, you’ve had your water too, can you leave now?"

Truly, cold.

Feng Yi looked at him, finding it somewhat hard to imagine why this Uncle would be so good to her in the Future, practically treating her like his own daughter, even letting her roam the research institute freely.

Feng Yi stared intently at the Youth, staring so hard that Ning Yan subconsciously glanced down at his own clothes. Same as usual, nothing inappropriate.

What on earth is she looking at this time?!

"I’m just really puzzled about why Uncle Ning will be so good to me in the Future, that’s all." Feng Yi answered honestly.

Ning Yan opened the door and pointed outside: "Miss Feng can go back and think about it. I won’t be joining you in your imaginings."

Feng Yi stared at the back of Ning Yan’s head for quite a while, and gradually her gaze turned strange...

"Yesterday I heard Grandpa Tang say that the first time my mama came to the research institute, you were the one who brought her over."

"On my first day here, you were also in Grandpa Tang’s laboratory, and my mom had just left not long before that."

Ning Yan listened to her muttering and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Feng Yi’s look at him turned a bit weird: "You’re not secretly in love with my mom Su Li in the Future, are you? If my dad finds out, he’ll kill you."

Otherwise why would he be so nice to her?

The always composed Youth was so angered by her that his hand had already curled into a fist. He clenched his back teeth, voice fierce: "Are you leaving or not?!"

Feng Yi was frightened into stepping back, and Ning Yan immediately moved to shut the door.

She quickly stretched out a hand to block it, smiling as she said, "Actually... actually it’s because I told the old gentlemen at the research institute this place was too boring, and they said you’re about the same age as me, so you could keep me company and chat when you’ve got free time."

Ning Yan: "..."

Yesterday, he heard from higher up that President Su had invested more funds again. So that’s how it is.
