"Looks like Brother Chen Jue is back~"
When Ning Rongrong opened the dormitory door, she heard many female classmates chattering about Brother Chen Jue.
The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, only to turn into a playful hint of reproach a moment later.
She parted her rosy lips, her tone tinged with coy indignation.
"He just got back, and instead of coming to see me, he's already gone and stirred up so many girls! Hmph!"
Just as she was about to go find Chen Jue, two familiar figures appeared before her.
"Oh! Grandpa Bones, Dad, what brings you here?"
With that, she threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms.
Ning Fengzhi gently stroked his daughter's silky hair, a loving smile curling his lips as he slowly spoke.
"To see our little princess, of course!"
"But we're also here for two things!"
"First of all... is there someone you like?"
At his words, a bashful blush instantly colored Ning Rongrong's cheeks.
She lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
"Yes!"
Hearing that, Ning Fengzhi asked another question.
"Then what's his name? We'll go meet him!"
Ning Rongrong was about to answer when her heart suddenly tightened, and she realized there seemed to be more to this than met the eye.
She immediately swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue, a complicated emotion flashing through her eyes.
Although Grandpa Bones and her father were all smiles, she could clearly sense the killing intent hanging around them.
Ning Rongrong gently shook her head, her lips set with determination.
"I won't tell you his name. We truly love each other, and you can't touch him!"
Ning Fengzhi's gaze softened, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
"I know. We only want to meet him..."
*And take his life
