Chapter 776 - The Duke Has Arrived

Something warm flowed down.

Chi Yang, ‘…!!! What should I do if my wife is too seductive? I’m waiting online. It’s quite urgent![1]’

“Big Brother Chi Yang, you’re having a nosebleed!”

“Mmm.”

Chi Yang replied with a grunt. He was afraid of dirtying his clothes, so he hurried to the bathroom.

“Big Brother Chi Yang, let me help you!”

“No need, Nuannuan. I’ll do it myself.”

“No, let me help you!”

…

“Big Brother Chi Yang, why is there more blood coming out from your nose?”

…

“Big Brother Chi Yang, why can’t your nose stop bleeding? Why don’t I perform acupuncture on you? Or else, you’ll keep bleeding!”

…

“Big Brother Chi Yang, how did you get so agitated? Aren’t we together every day? Yet, your nose still bleeds. You weren’t bleeding when I looked at you just now.”

Chi Yang, “…”

Old Master, “…”

Forget it. The old master was convinced that he should finish reading the newspaper that he had yet to finish today. It seemed like he should not be expecting to leave so early today.

However, the second they all left for the auction, Zhong Nuannuan received a call from her father, Duke Eton.

Duke Eton, who was supposed to arrive in Camino three days later, changed his schedule when he heard that Zhong Nuannuan was going to auction off her favorite, Moonlight, for some unexplainable reason. He arranged to meet with the officials from the Foreign Affairs Office to come to Jiang District today to give his precious daughter a surprise.

Who would have expected that…

Something happened to the private plane, so they could only take the commercial airliner. However, they arrived a little late.

Therefore, it was already half-past ten when the officials from the Foreign Affairs Office and the state leader received Duke Eton.

Since there was still a banquet after the auction, it would not be apt to start the auction too late. The organizer, Lijing Mansion, set the auction to be at eleven in the morning.

Zhong Nuannuan, who was about to reach the banquet hall, saw the caller ID and raised an eyebrow. She picked up the call and called out in a tone full of familiarity, “Daddy.”

This was the first time that Chi Yang had heard his Nuannuan call someone else who was not Zhong Kuijun ‘daddy’. However, when Nuannuan called Zhong Kuijun, her voice was filled with obvious frustration and dissatisfaction. However, she sounded exceptionally relaxed and happy. Looking at the way his Nuannuan’s lips curled up like a peach blossom petal, Chi Yang decided that he must treat this father-in-law well in the future; that he should gain more affection from his father-in-law.

Although this father-in-law was not Nuannuan’s biological father, he was someone who received Nuannuan’s acknowledgment. He was also someone who provided Nuannuan kinship after she had lost her family.

Duke Eton was someone worthy of his respect.

“What? You’re here? Why are you here? Didn’t you say you’ll only arrive three days later?”

Hearing Nuannuan’s words, Chi Yang was slightly stunned.

The Duke’s arrival in Jiang District was no small matter.

“Does the Foreign Affairs Office know? Don’t mess around! You’ll be chased out if you don’t even give them a heads-up!”

After Nuannuan finished speaking, Chi Yang heard strings of angry voices from the other side of the phone.

Nuannuan and the person on the other side of the line were speaking in Luntanese, but this was not a problem for Chi Yang. Even before Old Master Chi retired, he was also fluent in Luntaese because he had to deal with the military base of another country for a long time.

While getting yelled at by the person on the other side of the line, Nuannuan laughed. Eventually, she said, “Alright, alright, stop howling. I understand. Come on, we’ll wait for you downstairs. Yes, Grandpa is with us.”

When Old Master Chi heard that he was mentioned, he still broke into a smile although he could not hear what the contents of the conversation were on the other side.
