Chapter 115 Neighbors
He's not letting his father down anymore; he wants to prove his own abilities to his father so he won't be ridiculed by his father as an empty-headed playboy anymore.
However, he later realized that he was nothing more than a pawn in his father's game.
"Yuan'er, Dad wants to invite the neighbors to dinner. I've asked them a few times before, but they haven't accepted. You young people always have more to talk about. Go and make friends with them, and invite them over to our house."
"Why?"
"Just do what you're supposed to do, you don't need to ask anything else." Ni Chongyang was a man of his word at home, and he never gave any extra explanations, even to his son.
Because of his words, no one dared to disobey.
Ni Youyuan didn't say anything, but he was very unhappy inside.
His father treated him the same way he treated those lackeys outside; to him, he was someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will.
Thinking back to the appearance of the two women, it seemed that one of them was quite good-looking, while the other was a fierce-looking tomboy.
Then she thought again that she had seen them in the lab a while ago, and they seemed to have a special relationship with Ye Jian.
Ye Jian, with her icy demeanor, was always patient and smiling with them, unlike with him, who always had an icy expression and never entrusted him with important experiments.
Within the entire research institute, only Ye Jian always reacted lukewarmly to his attempts to be friendly. No, and so did Lin Xiao; they were all ungrateful.
Perhaps we could start by finding out Ye Jian's preferences by working with these women.
In the research institute, only those who can gain Ye Jian's favor will have the opportunity to access the most core secrets.
Moreover, just thinking about having fun with such a beautiful woman makes even being a ghost seem romantic.
Ni Youyuan rehearsed the scene of striking up a conversation with Yu Miaomiao in his mind over and over again, imagining the woman leaning against him, which was quite intoxicating.
"Dad, don't worry about leaving it to me. With your son's looks and charm, he's got money and looks. What's the difference between him and those other women? He'll definitely be scrambling to get her."
A wicked smile played on his lips as he thought he looked incredibly handsome. He casually smoothed his greasy hair, and thankfully Yu Miaomiao wasn't there, otherwise she probably would have vomited on the spot after just one look.
Yu Miaomiao had already taken a nice bath and was fast asleep on the soft, comfortable bed.
Although being a superhuman greatly enhances her ability to withstand the heat, the stickiness on her body still made her feel so uncomfortable she wanted to die.
Upon returning, she immediately went to the command center to explain the beast tide. Coupled with the excessive mental energy consumed during the investigation, the tension she had been holding finally eased a bit the moment she touched the bed, and fatigue and drowsiness immediately overwhelmed her.
Of course, she had no idea that her "good neighbor" was secretly plotting a huge scheme and had designs on them.
As for fighting the alien beasts, let's wait until she's had enough sleep before discussing that.
Lu An and Xu Nanwei took a shower after returning home, and then lay lazily on the sofa, feeling bored.
"Weiwei, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, but my tummy is a little craving something." Xu Nan rubbed her tummy slightly, her eyes blinking, and she couldn't help but swallow.
The two immediately reached an agreement. Lu An went to the cabinet and, after thinking it over, took out rice, eggs, and ham. She could make do with instant noodles, but Weiwei was still growing and needed to get proper nutrition.
The old lady at the orphanage used to say that children need to eat more eggs to grow up well, so let's make a homemade version of fried rice with eggs.
They also provided food for the furry kids, and the two of them and the three furry kids devoured the meal before finally going to sleep satisfied.
The next day, the alarm clock rang, and the woman turned it off precisely. Then she rolled over and touched a fluffy big tail. She rolled over again and touched a wet little nose. Still half asleep, she hugged the kitten to her chest.
He murmured, "Little kitties, if I could, I'd love to hold you all and sleep like a log."
But now she should get up.
She used to say that Lu An was a ruthless person; he would get up immediately as soon as the alarm clock rang at dawn.
Now she realizes that when people have tasks, work, or pressure, they simply don't dare to stay in bed.
At that time, Lu An had to work part-time every morning to earn tuition fees. She dared not delay even for a day, because if she missed a day of part-time work, she would not be able to raise enough tuition fees.
She opened the door and saw Lu An and Weiwei sleeping soundly on the sofa, each with one leg propped up on a mahjong tile. She tiptoed back to the door, picked up the two cats that were stretching on the bed, and slipped into her spatial dimension.
Let her make breakfast today. There are kitchen facilities in the space, so making breakfast won't be difficult for her.
She steamed buns, sweet potatoes, and eggs, fried some bacon and ham, then cooked millet porridge. She also packed some of the pickled vegetables that everyone likes in a small dish, prepared milk and toast for Xu Nanwei, and gave her and Lu An a latte each. Recently, her latte art has become more and more skilled, and she can now draw a complete leaf.
The space suddenly opened, bringing the two people, the dog, and the sofa back into the space.
Ma Jiang and Lu An immediately sensed the change in space, woke up with a start, and looked around alertly. They found that they had entered a space and saw that a sumptuous breakfast had been laid out on the dining table.
"Wow, we're all about living a life of ease, thanks to the bounty of nature."
"Get lost! You should thank Chef Yu for his hard work, okay?"
"Ah, right, right, right." Lu An jumped out of bed. She was always so full of energy. No matter how many difficulties and hesitations she had encountered the day before, or how many crises and fears she would face in the future, she could always start each day with a positive and optimistic attitude.
Looking at her, Yu Miaomiao felt all her worries disappear.
"Hmm..." Xu Nanwei sat up groggily, smelling the aroma of bread on the table, and sat down at the table to start eating. What a little foodie.
However, when she suddenly realized that her environment was unfamiliar, she widened her eyes, threw away the bread in her hand, created an air shield for herself, and stared blankly at her surroundings.
Yu Miaomiao thought that it seemed to be the first time she had brought Xu Nanwei into the space, and everything here was unfamiliar to her.
Of course, I had brought her to the space to use the bathroom before, but only to that bathroom area. Xu Nanwei is a very obedient and well-behaved child. She never asks about anything unnecessary or inappropriate, nor does she show her curiosity.
Perhaps it's related to her upbringing; she's afraid of losing things, so she only holds onto what she can see right in front of her and never looks forward to those unknown and ethereal things.
This is also why Yu Miaomiao is becoming more and more at ease with and accepting of her.
