This was the last lunch Nan XiangWan would have at home before leaving again. The Golden Melody Awards ceremony was about to take place, and she and her Destiny teammates had all received invitations. She had to go back to Magic Capital City to prepare.
Today's lunch was much simpler than the usual extravagant fare.
Nan Song got up early in the morning to stew a pot of marinated pork, and kept putting food on his daughter's plate, his eyes full of pity.
He felt so bad for his good baby girl. She was doing so well as a celebrity, how did she suddenly become a soldier and get involved in military secrets?
It sounded like she had some dangerous missions!
Nan Song was worried sick and barely slept well all night.
Beside him, Xin Zi didn't show much expression. She was more concerned about other aspects - her daughter's physical fitness was definitely not a problem, she just couldn't have any obvious flaws or weaknesses. If the enemy researched her thoroughly during a mission, they could exploit them.
Nan ChaoYang was also glum, still thinking about not being human in his dream.
So the family of four were all preoccupied, only Nan XiangWan was happily eating away!
After lunch.
Nan Song went downstairs to the basement to fetch things, and brought back piles of supplements and all kinds of treasured teas.
He dumped them all into Nan XiangWan's hands!
Nan Song: "XiangWan, bring these back to eat, remember to eat more!"
Reminded by this, Nan ChaoYang slapped his forehead: "Sis, wait a sec, I've got stuff for you too."
Soon he hauled a large pile of gift-wrapped boxes up from the basement.
Nan ChaoYang: “I bought you clothes! Birthday presents!”
He got drunk yesterday and forgot to take them out.
Nan XiangWan was a little surprised: “All high-end brands? What did you buy?”
Nan ChaoYang: “Dresses, I bought out all the designer ready-to-wear at Mola!”
They were all dresses for his sister!
He hoped his sister would wear dresses every day, different ones.
When Nan XiangWan heard they were dresses she was speechless. Why did he always gift things she didn’t like?
This little brother was really asking for a beating!
But since he gave them, she would take them back and wear them. They were all designer pieces after all. Though not couture, they would still look good for events or performances.
After the gifts were delivered, Nan ChaoYang looked at his sister expectantly and put out his hand.
Nan XiangWan: "???"
Nan ChaoYang: “Where’s mine? Don’t tell me you didn’t prepare a gift for me?”
Nan XiangWan: "......"
Nan ChaoYang exploded: “I’m telling you Nan XiangWan! It’s your little brother’s 18th birthday, and you didn’t get me anything? Screw it, I’m taking back those dresses and selling them secondhand! Damn it!”
But Nan Song whacked him on the head: “I paid with my card, and you want to resell them? You’ve got some good ideas there!”
Nan ChaoYang covered the back of his head: “Ow ow ow!”
In his opinion it was no big deal, he didn’t have money anyway, spending his dad’s money was nothing.
Wasn’t he his dad’s son? If so then let him spend!
Nan XiangWan glanced at the system panel, she still had an online shopping cashback unused.
So she beckoned: “Come, sister will also buy you a gift.”
Nan ChaoYang was upset now, he turned his head away: “I don’t want it now! It won’t be sincerely prepared!”
Nan XiangWan: “Hmm, how about a laptop? You can bring it to school, and play games when you have free time.”
Nan ChaoYang immediately moved closer: “An Alienware! I want the Alienware top of the line, the top spec version!”
Nan XiangWan: “Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?”
Nan ChaoYang: "......"
Although he said that, Nan XiangWan still opened her phone Taobao app and swiftly searched, filtered and placed an order.
On top of her 20,000 online shopping quota, she pitched in some of her own money, and bought her little brother a 50,000 Alienware gaming laptop.
Buying today, it would arrive tomorrow.
Her little brother should be happy now right?
Sure enough, Nan ChaoYang was already dancing around excitedly, shouting loudly.
After Nan XiangWan's bank card was charged 50,000, she received another 20,000 which was 10 times cashback.
【Assets: 25.75 million RMB】
In summary, although she pitched in some money, the end result was still profit!
The system is awesome!
............
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Dong came to pick her up.
Nan XiangWan's bags and packages were loaded into the car. She waved goodbye to her parents, then hurried back to Magic Capital City.
Xiao Dong looked to be in good spirits in the car, humming a tune as he drove.
Nan XiangWan asked curiously: "Why so happy? Did something good happen?"
Xiao Dong: "Hehe, I visited Gu Su ancient town, listened to Pipa Tunes singing 'Phoenix on Hairpin' song, it was so nice I'm trying to learn it."
Nan XiangWan: "I really couldn't tell what tune you were humming just now..."
With Xiao Dong's tone deafness, looked like his skills have improved again!
Xiao Dong: "You just don't understand, I sang perfectly fine."
Nan XiangWan: "Alright, perfectly fine."
Xiao Dong: "Uh huh, plane tickets booked, it's tomorrow noon. We'll arrive right in time to walk the red carpet, the organizers have arranged everything already."
When it came to work, Xiao Dong was still very serious, very agent-like.
Nan XiangWan: "Walking the red carpet too?"
Xiao Dong: "Everyone has to. Oh right, do you know how many categories you're nominated for?"
Nan XiangWan: "Haven't checked, how many?"
Xiao Dong: "Hehe! Best New Artist, Best Group, Best Album, Best Composer, Best Female Singer. Five!"
Nan XiangWan: “Is that considered amazing?”
Xiao Dong: “My god! Boss Nan you really should learn more basics! You just debuted! Being nominated for five categories! For others at the time of debut, they might not even get an invite!”
Nan XiangWan: “Oh, Best Group and Album are Destiny’s right?”
Xiao Dong: “Yes yes, not your personal awards. Album nomination is for ‘Wasteland’, credited to Destiny girl group. But you composed them! You’re awesome!”
Nan XiangWan: “Flatter me some more.”
Xiao Dong: "......"
Chatting and laughing, they soon arrived at Qi Mansion in Magic Capital City.
Xiao Dong waved from the car: “Have a good rest Boss Nan. I’ll come get you tomorrow. You’ve prepared your own gown right? Need me to help carry it? Bring the watch to the event?”
Nan XiangWan: “Won’t bring the watch, just gown and jewelry.”
Xiao Dong: “Got it, I’ll come organize in the morning.”
They waved goodbye. Nan XiangWan turned and walked into Elevator 2.
Five seconds later she came out again, and went into Elevator 1 instead.
Hehe!
Top secret, hehehe!
Gu BeiHuai had helped modify her elevator and door access. Nan XiangWan could directly access Elevator 1 and enter by scanning her face or fingerprint.
In just a minute she arrived outside Room 2201 on 22nd floor. Nan XiangWan thought about it, still decided to knock first.
Although Gu BeiHuai had told her many times she was free to come and go from his home as she pleased, Nan XiangWan didn’t feel right just entering without notice.
She knocked but no one opened the door.
So Nan XiangWan inputted her birthday as the password, and the lock opened obediently.
As soon as she entered.
"Meow meow meow!"
"Meow ~~~"
"Awooo~~~"
All three cats pounced over, circling and rolling at her feet begging for pets.
The first meow was DaHei, extremely tender and charming. Despite its large physique and fierce black lion appearance, its meows were delicate and gentle like a young girl coquetting.
The second meow was JuanHei’s, also very cute, with some hint of aloofness.
The third was shockingly DieHei’s! His voice was like wolf howls!
