Chapter 1397: Chapter 1396: Unconventional Encouragement

After leaving, Nie Jiaqi no longer had the heart to stroll around the garden, her mind was preoccupied, and she spoke little along the way, while Nie Kaihuan seemed quite interested, admiring the scenery around.

Nie Jiaqi was feeling very low, always thinking that her heart felt as if something was weighing on it, making it hard for her to breathe.

Previously, Hou Baiyu treated everyone the same way, so she didn’t feel anything. Now, suddenly, he showed such an expression to a little girl, and Nie Jiaqi couldn’t sit still anymore.

Clearly, she was the one who met Hou Baiyu first, clearly, she attended every gathering that Hou Baiyu was part of. But why couldn’t Hou Baiyu see her?

No matter how her brother consoled her, she knew there was no official relationship between Hou Baiyu and her, she simply lacked the standing to meddle in his affairs with women around him. Everything was just her wishful thinking.

Today’s events told her exactly this.

"What’s wrong?" Nie Kaihuan asked, as if only realizing her unusual state now, with concern.

Nie Jiaqi stopped, her voice muffled, "Brother, Baiyu and I, we’re nothing."

Nie Kaihuan chuckled, "For now, that’s true."

Nie Jiaqi bit her lower lip, feeling very sad inside.

"But it doesn’t mean it won’t be in the future." Nie Kaihuan reached out to touch her head, "We, Nie Family, shouldn’t be so sentimental, if you like something, just go for it. Besides, it’s not like you’re taking it, Hou Baiyu isn’t involved with anyone, is he?"

Nie Jiaqi was taken aback, looking up at her brother’s mischievous face, her eyes gradually brightened.

That’s right, Hou Baiyu isn’t involved with anyone, right? Even if he treats that little girl differently, she’s too young. Even if it’s indeed that kind of affection, she can create a huge rift between them in the years of waiting.

The Nie Family always charges forward without hesitation, never failing to get what they want!

Nie Jiaqi tucked her hair behind her ear, her face beaming with a smile again, "Thank you, brother, if it wasn’t for your encouragement, I’d be sinking into despair."

She took a few steps forward, then playfully turned back and stuck her tongue out at Nie Kaihuan, "I won’t disgrace the Nie Family!"

Nie Kaihuan put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows, "That’s my Nie Family’s young lady."

Nie Jiaqi giggled and ran forward while behind her, Nie Kaihuan’s smile deepened as he shifted his gaze into the distance.

He too wanted to achieve everything he desired.

Although the Nie Family is resisted and guarded by most families, it doesn’t change the fact they are now the Mystic Medical World’s number one family, and many naturally want to associate with them.

This was the first time Nie Kaihuan appeared in the garden since arriving at the manor, and by word of mouth, a number of eligible young ladies came over for an accidental encounter.

Seeing these girls appear intentionally or unintentionally around him, Nie Kaihuan didn’t want to spare them a single glance. His woman, even if just for one night, must be outstanding.

He didn’t want to waste even a side glance on these average girls, preserving his emotions.

Nie Kaihuan didn’t qualify for the current exchange competition, but this didn’t hinder his popularity.

Luo Yirui licking an ice pop watched the cool, handsome, and rebellious Nie Kaihuan walk away, then turned to Little Fatty and said, "Look at how he’s acting cool, learn from him."

Little Fatty pursed his lips, thinking, when it comes to acting cool, no one does it better than you.

Playing it straight but having a hidden agenda is more than enough.

Ever since he followed the faction’s people into the secular world, he’s constantly heard the rumors about Luo Yirui achieving the Spiritual Talisman at age five, yet it was evident that these tales were never verified. It shows Luo Yirui is truly proficient in acting cool.
