Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2168: Chapter 2169: You’re Ignoring Me (1)

An Baobei shut the door with a flick of her hand while shouting to Su Changyi and An Jing, ”Dad, Mom, I found out how much it’ll cost to redeem my Jade Pendant from Ning Zihan!”

Su Changyi and An Jing were already lying down, but upon seeing An Baobei rush in, they sat up again.

An Baobei lay down on the bed, right in the middle between them, held her face in her hands, and kicked her little legs, smiling cheekily at her parents as she continued, ”Yesterday, Grandpa took me to an antique store to look at antiques. I think my Jade Pendant must be worth millions, and when I was with Ning Zihan, he dressed me in designer clothes, fed me well, housed me well, taught me a lot, and personally took me everywhere to play. After careful consideration, I’ll give him two million to redeem my Jade back.”

An Jing stroked their precious daughter’s head while smiling and said, ”Two million is an astronomical figure for an ordinary family, but for Ning Zihan, it’s just a drop in the ocean. If you give him two million, he likely won’t care, but you can’t just take the Jade back for free. Since you’re planning to give two million, then go ahead.”

Immediately, An Jing looked at Su Changyi.

Su Changyi promptly called Lu Yimi, instructing her to transfer two million to An Baobei’s card.

”Thank you, Mom and Dad, you’re the best parents in the world~” An Baobei cheerfully thanked them, hugged An Jing and Su Changyi one by one, then climbed off the bed and headed outside. ”I’m going to call Ning Zihan and tell him I’m going to redeem the Jade.”

An Jing couldn’t help but remind, ”Don’t forget you’re still receiving treatment.”

”Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t forget.” With that, An Baobei cheerfully opened the door and walked out, closing An Jing and Su Changyi’s room door behind her.

Seeing the door close, An Jing helplessly shook her head with a smile, ”Still just a kid.”

Su Changyi smirked slightly, ”No matter how old she gets, she’ll always be our child.”

”Mm.” An Jing nodded with a smile. Then, jokingly said, ”From now on, we should lock the door. She never knocks when entering our room; we’ve spoiled her. Look at how she always knocks before entering Dad’s and Chengyu’s room, showing perfect manners.”

”We haven’t been doing anything, no need for that, but if we ever decide to do something, then we’ll lock the door.”

An Jing was initially stunned, then teasingly asked, ”What do you want to do?”

Su Changyi didn’t answer, just silently got up to lock the door.

An Jing: ”...” What goes around comes around, she figured...

...

As soon as An Baobei returned to her room, she lay on the bed and video-called Ning Zihan.

It’s been over a month since she came from E City to S City, and although Ning Zihan never initiates contact with An Baobei, she still occasionally calls him.

And each time, Ning Zihan answers.

Today, Ning Zihan happened to not be at work, at home, and when he saw the video call request from An Baobei, he didn’t sit in the living room but went back to his room. Once the door was closed, he accepted the video call.

An Baobei’s pretty little face immediately appeared on the screen.

Along with her excited voice, ”Ning Zihan Ning Zihan, I just asked my dad for two million. I plan to find a time to redeem the Jade Pendant from you.”

Was this her way of completely severing ties with him?

Ning Zihan’s expression instantly turned ugly, and coldly said, ”Suit yourself.” Then, he cut off the video call.
