Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: I’m Not Listening, I’m Not Listening, The Tortoise Recites Scriptures! (4th Update)

The Heaven’s Fate Elixir, radiating a faint purple glow, was held within a crystal-clear crystal bottle, exuding a breathtaking beauty.

Looking at the bottle of Heaven’s Fate Elixir, Yuan Mengying’s breathing gradually became more rapid.

“Sir….”

Xue An shook his head and gestured for her to stop talking, “This is your welcome gift for joining the company, take it and save your mother first!”

Yuan Mengying’s eyes reddened, and tears began to fall in torrents.

Since the train ride, Xue An had already helped her more than once.

It could be said that without Xue An, she might have been forever lost in darkness with no chance of turning back.

“Sir, I, Mengying, will never forget this great kindness. Once I have cured my mother’s illness, I will return to join the company!” Yuan Mengying wiped away her tears and spoke with solemn resolution.

Xue An smiled slightly and waved his hand, “Go on, hurry.”

Yuan Mengying turned and left.

After she had gone, An Yan came out from the inner office, tenderly bent down and embraced Xue An from behind.

“Husband, you are so kind.”

“Hmm?” Xue An, leaning back in his chair, turned his face towards An Yan and smiled, “Where am I kind?”

“Everywhere, especially my husband’s kind heart!” An Yan said with a giggly smile.

Xue An took a deep breath of the fragrance from An Yan’s hair and said faintly, “I just saw our past shadows in her, that’s all.”

At these words, a touch of melancholy flickered in An Yan’s eyes.

Xue An was right.

Back then, the situation he and An Yan faced was no different, right?

A bottomless abyss of darkness lay before them, with no way to retreat.

Such despair could make one break down.

An Yan couldn’t help but nuzzle Xue An’s cheek with her face.

“Husband, don’t be sad! It’s all in the past!”

Xue An chuckled, as he had been merely reflecting for a moment.

And he felt even more compassion for An Yan.

Because he thought of the time when An Yan had been alone in the hospital giving birth to their child, whether she felt just as isolated and helpless.

Unexpectedly, An Yan was now comforting him instead.

What a silly girl.

At that thought, Xue An suddenly gave a mischievous smile, pulled An Yan close, and kissed her deeply.

An Yan’s eyes widened in astonishment, staring at Xue An as if she hadn’t expected his sudden attack.

After a moment, her gaze softened and her eyes began to mist over, brimming with endless allure.

Xue An’s heartbeat skipped a half-beat.

Because at that moment, An Yan was indescribably beautiful.

Just as the temperature in the entire room escalated with intimacy.

Xiang Xiang pushed open the door of the inner room and came out, “Dad, Niannian stole my ice cream again.”

The couple, once so engrossed, abruptly parted, and An Yan’s face turned so red it seemed about to explode.

Xue An, however, maintained his composure and smiled faintly, “How did she steal it?”

Xiang Xiang looked suspiciously at her mother, whose face was flushed, and then at her dad, whose smile was warm but his expression seemed a bit unnatural.

“Mom, why is your face so red?”

An Yan, startled, stammered, “Because… ah, it’s too hot in this room, cough cough, right, husband!”

Xue An nodded gravely, “Exactly, the heating in this room is on too high, it’s simply a waste.”

“Is it that hot?” Xiang Xiang still appeared puzzled.

Niannian poked her little head out, looking aggrieved, “Sister, your ice cream just happened to fall into my mouth, and I was going to take it out, but I accidentally swallowed it.”

As Niannian spoke, the corner of her mouth still bore the obvious traces of cream.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xiang first fell silent for a few seconds; then she shouted with a furious flailing of arms, “Xue Niannian, you’re dead meat today!”

She pounced like a little cat with its hackles raised.

Nian Nian, terrified, turned around and ran, yelling as she did, “Sister, listen to my explanation!”

“I won’t listen, I won’t listen, it’s like talking to a brick wall! Give me back my ice cream!”

So, Xiang Xiang began to chase after her, and Nian Nian ran ahead.

The two little girls began playing a game of hide-and-seek around the office.

Watching this scene, Xue An’s lips curled into a smile.

No matter what happened, as long as he saw his two daughters, his heart would suddenly become calm.

“Sister, what I said is true, it was the ice cream that started it!” Nian Nian gasped as she ran.

Xiang Xiang, fuming, lunged forward and grabbed Nian Nian’s braided pigtails.

“Hmph, now let’s see where you’ll run!” Xiang Xiang said with pride.

Tears began to well up in Nian Nian’s big eyes, and she said to Xue An with an aggrieved tone, “Dad… Sister is bullying me again!”

Xiang Xiang held onto Nian Nian’s braids with one hand and put the other on her waist, her little face stern, as she spoke earnestly.

“Dad, this doesn’t concern you. This is a private matter between sisters, and outsiders should not interfere.”

Seeing Xiang Xiang acting like a little adult, Xue An couldn’t help but give a helpless, bitter smile to Nian Nian.

“Tell me, will you steal again or not?” Xiang Xiang demanded.

“I won’t steal anymore!” Nian Nian said, feeling quite wronged.

“I don’t believe you; you need to make a written promise!” Xiang Xiang’s eyes flickered as she came up with an idea.

“But I don’t know how to write!”

“That’s okay, neither do I!”

“Then what should we do?”

“Draw circles!”

Soon, Xiang Xiang had drawn many circles and squares of different sizes on a piece of white paper.

“What’s this?” Xue An asked, blinking his eyes.

“It’s a pledge!” Xue Xiang picked up the white paper, cleared her throat, and read out, “Xue Niannian pledges that she will never again steal her sister’s (Xue Xiang Xiang’s) ice cream. If she goes against this pledge, she will be forbidden from eating ice cream for a month! And as punishment for her previous thefts, she must share half of her ice cream with her sister for the next month.”

After finishing reading, Xue Xiang lifted her face, looked at Xue Nian and said, “Sign it!”

Xue Nian’s face was filled with confusion.

It took her a while to understand, her face full of sorrow.

“Sister, I promise I won’t steal anymore, can I not share half?”

“No way!”

“How about half of half?”

“Not possible!”

“Wuwuwu, sister, you’re bullying me!”

“You stole my ice cream, and I haven’t even cried. You crybaby!”

“Sister is the crybaby!”

“Do you want me to pull your hair again?”

“…”

In the end, the agreement was still signed, in a spirit of friendly negotiation.

Nian Nian pressed the print of her small hand onto the white paper with a gloomy face.

Xiang Xiang happily put the paper away.

Xue An and An Yan looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Although they were twin sisters, Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian had completely different personalities.

Xiang Xiang’s personality was becoming more and more like Xue An’s—domineering and assertive.

Nian Nian was more like An Yan—gentle and adorable.

But that was good; between sisters, there needed to be one who was strong, otherwise, it would be too easy to be bullied.
