The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1292: Chapter 497: Anticipation

”Hey, you three should snap out of it. Staring at my mom like this is pretty rude...”

Ding Yi came out of the elevator with a cheerful smile, pulling Nie Xiaoyun along, and waved at the three led by Zhou Wang.

”Hello, President Nie!”

Qiu Zeyu and Young Master Zhang, as if awakening from a dream, hurriedly greeted Nie Xiaoyun respectfully.

Zhou Wang, on the other hand, was focusing on observing Nie Xiaoyun’s subtle expressions.

Nie Xiaoyun saw Zhou Wang and nodded at him with a smile, ”Zhou Wang, long time no see!”

Her gaze carried a slight complexity, but nothing seemed different from before. Instead, Zhou Wang remained silent, watching her, with a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

”Zhou Wang?”

Ding Yi muttered somewhat discontentedly.

After staring at Nie Xiaoyun for a moment, Zhou Wang almost confirmed at this point that, even though he had jumped into the time vortex with Nie Xiaoyun, Nie Xiaoyun did not retain her previous memories.

No, this seems like a paradox...

After all, time had been reset, so how could anyone except Zhou Wang have previous memories? What they are experiencing is their ”moment.”

Recalling a scene that happened in the ruins, Zhou Wang felt somewhat sentimental.

He had seen another side of Nie Xiaoyun that wasn’t known beneath her serene and dignified exterior. However, such moments were too coincidental, as even when facing death, some irrationality is quite normal.

Therefore, Zhou Wang did not think that just because he had those memories in his mind, he could consider Nie Xiaoyun a frivolous woman... it was merely a silhouette of complex human nature.

The mischievous thought surged in Zhou Wang; if he called her ”Xiao Yun” again, he wondered how Nie Xiaoyun would react.

But this thought was fleeting; soon Zhou Wang smiled peacefully.

”Sorry, I got lost in thought. I was just thinking about how long it’s been since I last saw Aunt Nie... Aunt Nie, welcome to my place as a guest. I thought you and Uncle Ding were quite busy, so I didn’t dare to rashly send an invite. Please forgive me.”

”What are you saying, child? How could we blame you? I just happened to have a meeting in Zhe Province, so I thought I’d drop by, and your Uncle Ding even called me specifically, insisting I come to offer blessings. At your age, it’s commendable you’re already thinking about ’benefiting all under heaven’; of course, we support such meaningful endeavors...”

Nie Xiaoyun gently chided Zhou Wang with a smile.

While Zhou Wang exchanged pleasantries with Nie Xiaoyun, Young Master Zhang and others stood bewildered.

Brother Dog is really something, managing to connect silently with Ding Yi’s parents. The affectionate look Nie Xiaoyun gave Zhou Wang showed that Ding Yi’s parents had a very positive impression of him...

”I always thought that if Brother Dog wanted to be with Ding Yi, the biggest obstacle would be her family... now I see I was narrow-minded.”

Young Master Zhang couldn’t help but click his tongue.

After the conversation, Zhou Wang led the way, taking Ding Yi and Nie Xiaoyun towards the banquet hall.

Just then, Nie Xiaoyun suddenly stopped in her tracks.

”Mom, what’s wrong?”

Noticing something unusual, Ding Yi asked curiously.

”I... nothing, just had a sudden dizziness.”

Unable to describe the strange feeling, Nie Xiaoyun was also a bit confused. She steadied herself and glanced at Zhou Wang’s back.

Strange, why did Zhou Wang’s back suddenly seem so familiar, like she’d experienced this moment somewhere before...

But this kind of déjà vu happens from time to time in life, and everyone has experienced it, so Nie Xiaoyun didn’t think much of it and smiled at her daughter:

”Let’s go... By the way, didn’t you say Zhou Wang’s secretary is an outstanding girl? Where is she? I haven’t seen her.”

At this point, remembering something, Nie Xiaoyun smiled, her gaze casually scanning the surroundings, pausing slightly on Lin Ran before shaking her head... she’s pretty, but shouldn’t pose any threat to Yiyi.

”I thought she’d be here too... but she doesn’t seem to be.”

Ding Yi pursed her lips and shook her head.

”Then introduce her to me later. I’m quite curious to meet a young woman who’s made it onto my daughter’s ’little notebook’ to see for myself how remarkable she is.”

”Mom...”

Listening to Nie Xiaoyun’s slightly teasing words, Ding Yi playfully pouted in embarrassment.

”Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s go take some photos... call Zhou Wang to join.”

Nie Xiaoyun pulled Ding Yi towards the signature wall.

Since Jiang Qingkui had already been sent away in advance, Zhou Wang naturally felt no burden when he heard Nie Xiaoyun inviting him to take photos together again, so he joined them in the media area to take pictures with the mother and daughter.

...This, in turn, made Nie Xiaoyun a bit uncomfortable.

Because Zhou Wang was overly enthusiastic, even standing in the middle to take a photo with his arms around her and Ding Yi, although his hand was only lightly resting on her shoulder, it made Nie Xiaoyun quite uncomfortable.

”Auntie, let’s take one just the two of us, it’s rare for you to have time to come, and we should keep a good memento...”

”That’s enough, I’ll go ahead, you and Yiyi take your photos.”

Nie Xiaoyun twitched her mouth slightly and hurriedly ”escaped,” while Ding Yi couldn’t help but lightly punch Zhou Wang, softly humming:

”You’ve got some nerve, daring to flirt with my mom!”
