2117 Auntie Xie, Can I Think About It?
The Nan family was one of the three big families in the independent continent. Nan Tianyi’s family was rich, so this was a small matter to him.
However, his concern for Qiao Nian could be seen in this insignificant matter.
He cared about Qiao Nian as if she was one of his own.
“By the way.” Nan Tianyi took advantage of the old butler going to arrange dinner to ask about Qiao Nian’s recent situation in the research institute. Then, he suggested, “Nian Nian, I called you here this time to discuss something with you.”
His gentle gaze landed on Xie Tingyun, and he said with a smile, “Why don’t you tell her?”
This was Xie Tingyun’s idea.
Moreover, she was very persistent.
Nan Tianyi gave this opportunity to his wife to talk to Qiao Nian.
At first, Xie Tingyun was a little embarrassed to speak. However, seeing the girl’s face, coupled with the matter she had recently heard, she looked at the girl in a daze. After a long time, she was reminded by Nan Tianyi.
Xie Tingyun came back to her senses. She took a deep breath and said gently, “Nian Nian, I want to acknowledge you as my goddaughter. Are you willing?”
Qiao Nian did not expect Nan Tianyi to say that.
She had never thought of this.
She instinctively wanted to refuse.
Xie Tingyun said gently, “I have two regrets in my life. One is that I can’t give my beloved husband a son or a daughter.”
Nan Tianyi’s eyes heated up. He turned his head away and reprimanded her, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m satisfied as long as you’re safe and sound.”
Xie Tingyun looked at him reproachfully. Her earlobes were slightly red. Afraid that he would interrupt again, she took another deep breath and looked at the girl. “The second regret is that I can’t protect the best friend in my life.
“She’s the only person I admire in my life. She’s braver, stronger, and more opinionated than me… Unfortunately, she left at a young age. I didn’t even have time to see her one last time. This is the second regret of my life.”
Qiao Nian listened to her quietly. She already knew who Xie Tingyun was talking about.
“Nian Nian, I’m not making a rash decision. I’ve seriously considered it for a long time.”
Xie Tingyun’s eyes were as gentle and quiet as an ink painting. She did not look like a big boss who made weapons. She was as quiet as water.
She said gently, “I’ve felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity ever since I first saw you. So, I want to acknowledge you as my goddaughter. Are you willing?”
Qiao Nian had caused a huge commotion in the Ji family. All the major factions in the independent continent investigated her background.
Xie Tingyun’s biological sister, Xie Yun, had married into the Ji family. Furthermore, Xie Yun did not care about the Ji family’s matters and had at least heard some inside information.
Among them was Qiao Nian’s background.
Although Ji Nan had never mentioned to Xie Tingyun that Qiao Nian was Ji Qing’s daughter, Xie Tingyun had already confirmed this matter with her connections.
At that time, she wanted to see Qiao Nian immediately. It was Nan Tianyi who said that she was too agitated and dissuaded her.
Xie Tingyun tossed and turned in bed for the past few days. After discussing with Nan Tianyi, she finally thought of the idea of acknowledging Qiao Nian as her goddaughter.
Qiao Nian listened to her quietly and cooperatively. When Xie Tingyun finished speaking, she pressed her baseball cap and said in a low voice, “Auntie Xie, can I think about it?”
