Chapter 768 - Unifying the World

“Hua hua…”

The windshield wiper brushed away the falling snow. I made sure to drive slowly to avoid slipping. Either way, there weren’t many cars on the road, and the traffic was smooth. I would reach Lin Tian Nan’s house within half an hour. It was a manor style house. Truly, being rich is great!

When the headlights of my A4 hit the wall, I could already see Wan Er and her white purse. Wan Er was dressed like a princess as she stood outside the house. Lin Tian Nan stood at her side with an umbrella. Behind them were several people who looked like servants and bodyguards. In a manor this large, Lin Tian Nan must be feeling lonely, and that’s why he had so many servants.

……

My car came to a slow stop. I stepped out with an umbrella over my head. The snowflakes softly pattered against the umbrella. I could see fireworks everywhere, both near and far. The sparklers lit up Wan Er’s face with a soft glow. She smiled at me, “Well, looks like you’re on time!”

I smiled and didn’t say anything. Lin Tian Tian Nan looked over at me and said, “Li Xiao Yao, you came?”

“Yes, Mr. Lin.”

Lin Tian Nan seemed a bit unhappy, “Don’t call me Mr. Lin, just call me Uncle Lin. There’s no need for the two of us to be so stiff. Besides, Wan Er, this brat, seems to rely on you quite a bit.”

I had not expected him to say something like that, and was momentarily speechless. I finally said, “I’m sorry.”

Lin Tian Nan smiled, “There’s no need to be sorry, this isn’t your fault anyway. Wan Er, this brat, has been spoiled by me since she was young. She’s got a terrible attitude. But… don’t you dare bully her. Even if she’s spoiled, you must go along with her, or else I will find you!”

I felt a shiver run down my back, “Yes, understood.”

As usual, Lin Tian Nan towered over everyone else, even as he held the umbrella. He continued, “Your salary for this month has already been transferred to your account. Wang Xing should also be updating you on some new information. I know receiving ten thousand every month must be nothing to you now. Your achievements in the game far surpass that amount. If you ever feel that it isn’t enough, that’s no problem. You can choose to leave. I won’t have a problem finding a new bodyguard for Wan Er.”

As I stood in the snow, I looked up at Lin Tian Nan and said, “No need, I want to remain at Wan Er’s side.”

Wan Er smiled and then gave Lin Tian Nan a peculiar look, “Dad, today is New Year’s Eve. Why do you keep talking about such strange topics? I don’t believe Li Xiao Yao has offended you, has he? Besides… you shouldn’t have much say in who I choose as my boyfriend. It was a decision we made.”

Lin Tian Nan smiled, “I know, I’m not interfering too much. I just… care about you. Choosing your boyfriend is your decision. I will not interfere any more.”

“Good!”

Wan Er smiled and then turned around to hug Lin Tian Nan. She then stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek, “Happy new years dad, I’m going to head out now?”

Lin Tian Nan nodded.

Wan Er jogged over to my side and hid under my umbrella. She then got into the car. I turned around to make my way to the drivers side. As I was walking away, I heard Lin Tian Nan say to his butler, “Girls leave the nest so fast… Old Shang, let’s go and drink for the new years!”

“Alright.”

……

I closed the car door. I glanced back at Lin Tian Nan’s departing figure. It was very lonely and desolate. I felt my chest tighten, and finally said, “Wan Er, it’s not that good if we just leave in the middle of the night like this. Your dad’s the only one home!”

Wan Er bit her lip and said, “But, he doesn’t particularly like you. I don’t want you to be embarrassed in front of him either. Really.”

I thought for a moment and then said, “Nevermind. You should stay home tonight. Just let me borrow a room.”

“Is that really ok?” Wan Er looked hopeful, and yet there was still some worry in her gaze. It looked like she actually really wanted to stay home, but she also wanted to be with me. As such, she was unsure of what to do.

I nodded, “It’s fine, it's just one night.”

“Ok!” Wan Er excitedly nodded and then kissed my cheek and smiled, “Pig, sometimes I think that you really are good to me. I’m starting to really fall in love with you…”

I smiled, “You’re only just starting to fall in love with me? Man, and here, I liked you from the start…”

“Hmph, you never said so.”

“Well now I am…”

Wan Er blushed and said, “You didn’t say you liked me until after we kissed. Isn’t that a bit late?”

“Not at all. Hurry up and get out of the car, I’m going to close the door.”

“Ok!”

……

Wan Er got out of the car. Several snowflakes fell onto her hair as she ran straight for the door. “Pa La Pa La”. Lin Tian Nan looked back and saw that his daughter had come back. His eyes lit up and he smiled, “Wan Er, why’d you come back?”

Wan Er smiled, “I decided to spend New Year’s Eve at home… but dad, Li Xiao Yao will be sleeping over tonight, and you’re not allowed to say anything about it. O
