Chapter 353 Gift

“At least you’re not that stupid. Do you finally get it? Do you regret gifting it to other people now?”

Ding Qianlie said sourly.

“I was saying that my luck isn’t that good. How could buy a house and win a prize doing so?”

Ding Ning finally understood. He slapped his head in annoyance. “If I knew it was a meeting gift from you, I wouldn’t have given it away, no matter what. Well, I’m sorry about the house but I’ll get the car back in a few days.”

“Never mind, you’ve already given it away. Even if you afford to lose such face, I can’t. I’ll get you a big gift in the future.”

Ding Qianlie smiled proudly.

Ding Ning rubbed his hands eagerly and smiled sweetly. “Sister, leak some spoilers, what’s the gift?”

“Your old house, in the Fuxing Road district. Speaking of this, it’s actually all thanks to you. If you didn’t destroy Hongda Real Estate, I wouldn’t be able to win this project. Now, the right to develop the district is in the hands of one of Longteng Group’s subsidiary companies.”

Ding Qianlie laughed coquettishly, she was very pleased with Ding Ning’s attitude.

“For real? That’s great.”

Having lived in the old district for 5 years, Ding Ning had a lot of affection for it. Although Fuxing Road was not a commercial street, it was in a good location. Not only was transportation convenient, the surrounding environment was also good too. It was very suitable for living.

If he had to choose between the Banwan Villa and Fuxing Road, he would choose Fuxing Road without hesitation.

“When the time comes, I’ll build you a villa for yourself as a meeting gift.”

Ding Qianlie said generously.

“Then I’ll thank you in advance.”

Ding Ning accepted the gift without hesitation. He was not in the habit of being overly-polite with his family. This attitude pleased Ding Qianlie greatly.

“Oh, right, who rescued me that day? Was it Knife Scar or Meditation Master?”

Ding Ning suddenly remembered being rescued the other day as well as having his Eight Meridians mysteriously opened. He had long felt a gratefulness in his heart and now that he had the chance, naturally, he was going to ask about it.

Ding Qianlie’s face immediately turned red. Thinking of the ecstasy that night, tremors rose in her heart.

Afraid that Ding Ning would sense something, she quickly said, “Knife Scar rescued you first then took you to Meditation Master’s place.”

Remembering that the Meditation Master spent all her skill to rescue Ding Ning, Ding Qianlie’s expression dimmed. Seriously, she said, “It was Meditation Master who used all of her skills to save you. From a warrior at the Real Martial Arts Realm, she became a normal person.”

“What?”

Ding Ning’s expression changed. At the time, he suspected that Meditation Master rescued him but after he saw that she was only a normal person, he dismissed this possibility.

He would never have imagined that Meditation Master, a powerful warrior at the Real Martial Arts Realm, would become a useless person to save him. This kindness was one that he would not be able to repay.

It must be known that for a warrior, their cultivation was their life. What Meditation Master did was not just saving his life, and she had used her life to save him.

This filled his heart with guilt and unease. He muttered, “How could this be? Why would Meditation Master be so good to me? How can I repay such a great kindness.”

Thinking of Meditation Master’s calm expression at the time, Ding Ning’s heart was filled with admiration. No wonder she was a high monk, even after losing her cultivation, she could still remain so calm. If it was him, he would have been depressed to death. Just her transcendent mentality made him admire her greatly.

Pain flashed through Ding Qianlie’s beautiful eyes. “There is no love or hate in this world that is without cause or reason. Meditation Master had her reasons for saving you.”

“No matter the reason, she exhausted her skills to save me. I must do something to repay her otherwise, I will never feel at ease.”

Ding Ning said stubbornly. He decided that once he was done with this matter at hand, he would personally visit her to give his thanks. Otherwise, he would be an ungrateful man.

“Because she is our grandmother. When mother was very young, she left to be a nun for a number of reasons. Mother was like you, she has never experienced a mother’s love. Grandmother exhausted her skills to save you as a way to repay what she owes mother through you.”

Ding Qianlie’s words crashed down and Ding Ning’s mind buzzed. Unable to believe it, he muttered to himself, “She is my grandmother; she is my grandmother…”

Inside the Hummer, Aunt Xiang’s face was already covered with tears. From a very young age, Meditation Master left to become a nun so she never experienced a mother’s love. It would a lie to say she didn’t hate her even a little.

Even though she later learned that her mother had become a nun out of disappointment in her father and had thus seen through the material world and decided to keep company with Buddha, the grudge in her heart could not be completed eliminated, even though she forgave her mother’s heartlessness.

It was not until Meditation Master gave up all of her skills and repaid everything she owed to Ding Ning did she truly forgive her from the depths of her heart.

In the blink of an eye, two decades have gone by without seeing her. Perhaps, it was time to go visit her, Aunt Xiang thought.

When Ding Ning returned to the laboratory and saw Luoxue running around to warm up his dinner, a boundless gentleness rose in his heart. Without thinking, he stretched out a hand and pulled her into his arms then carried her into the room…

After being alone for so many years, he once again had news of his father, now he had a sister, had received message his mother was alive, and had personally seen his grandmother. This made his heart, that had felt like a rootless duckweed, finally take root.

That night, Luoxue did her best to meet Ding Ning’s wild efforts and was particularly proactive in taking charge…

She knew that he needed time to digest such a large amount of information and the emotions accumulated in his heart needed to be released. As a qualified maid, she must use her softness to resolve all of his negative emotions.

When the first rays of the morning shot through the window and landed in the room, Luoxue’s long lashes moved and she slowly opened her eyes. However, she did not immediately get up to prepare breakfast as she usually did. Instead, she propped herself up on her elbow and quietly looked at his sleeping face.

After the storm, Ding Ning slept exceptionally well. The golden sunlight splashed across his handsome face. With his sweeping brows, straight nose, perfect and determined lips, sculpted facial features, and snowy-white skin that even Luoxue was slightly jealous of, he was the example of a perfect man.

How could her master look so good?

Luoxue’s simple little head could not think of any luxurious words to describe the admiration and love she felt for Ding Ning at this moment. Remembering his wildness last night, she couldn’t help but blush a little. Even though she had cultivated the strongest healing power of the water series, she still lost against an electric motor’s relentless drive. But this sense of fulfillment and contentment made her feel very happy. If only she could watch him like this forever.

As Luoxue thought dazedly, she could not stop a large hand wrapping suddenly around her waist and pulling her with a startled cry into an embrace. At some point, the inky-black eyes opened and were looking at her with a barely-there smile. Mischievously, he said, “What, was last night not enough?”

Feeling his powerful masculine aura, Luoxue’s heartbeat sped up. Her mouth went dry and a blush rose to her face. As her eyes flashed away and she was about to explain, a large mouth blocked her lips.

After a suffocating and exciting kiss, Ding Ning held her face and looked at her with deep affection. “Luoxue, I love you!”

“Ah!” Luoxue blinked her flawless eyes and her mind went black. “He, he said he loves me? I am only a maid though. Why is my heart filled with happiness, and even the sunlight seems exceptionally beautiful. Is this love?”

Ding Ning held her tightly in his arms and muttered lowly by her ear, “Luoxue, give me some more time. I want you to give me many many babies!”

Ding Ning didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to tell Luoxue these things but he could not resist telling her that he loved her very much.

Yes, Luoxue was no longer just a maiden in his heart. She had unknowingly walked into his heart.

No matter whether he was sad, upset, pleased, or happy, she was always silently by his side, serving him and looking after him. She didn’t fight or quarrel and was obedient, kind, and quiet to the point of making his heart hurt.

“Mhm!”

Luoxue squeezed out a single sound but the happy smile on her face bloomed like a flower.

She had always thought that Ding Ning did not want her to have children. Although she felt no resentment, hatred, or sadness, it had become a knot in her heart.

She had a simple mind and this moment, love surged in her heart and she voluntarily flipped onto Ding Ning’s body and shyly said, “Brother, I still want…”

The words a man most likes to hear from a woman were certainly “I want” but the words they were most terrified of hearing were “I also want”.

But this iron law was ineffective against Ding Ning. One reason was because of his powerful ability to recover. Secondly, he was certain he loved Luoxue deeply. Compared to his feelings for Ling Yun, that was more like affection and not love. Without realizing it, he loved her to his core. That was why he could not help but voluntarily say, for the first time in his life, the three words “I love you”.

As a man, how could he say no to the invitation of the woman he loved? Furthermore, he was a man with strong stamina.

Early in this morning, in this closed laboratory, a snaking battle began again. The bedroom, the couch, the floor, the bathroom, the desk, and even the laboratory bench bore marks of their love.

It was not until the sun was fully risen and Knife Scar, who had come to pick him up, called him that he had a quick shower. He then picked up the red coral carving he had completed the night before and left.

Luoxue was very sensible. She rejected Ding Ning’s invitation to come along and stayed in the room to watch over the medicine he had prepared.

“Brother Knife Scar, thank you!”

After getting into the white Hummer, Ding Ning sincerely expressed his gratitude toward Knife Scar sitting in the passenger seat.

Not a man of many words, Knife Scar spread his lips in a smile that did not appear much better than crying. “Young master, you’re too polite.”

“It’s not a matter of politeness. I truly am grateful. Last time, if not for you, I would have died.”

Ding Ning could see he was not a man of many words and smiled warmly.

Knife Scar was a bit startled by the favoritism and scratched his hears. With a dazed chuckle, he said, “If you want to thank someone, you should thank the young lady. It was she who asked me to secretly protect you.”

“Here’s a bauble for you.”

Ding Ning took out a jade bottle and handed it to him.

“What is this?”

Knife Scar looked at the jade bottle in his hand with confusion. Lifting the lid, a faint and fresh fragrance seeped out.

“Scar cream!”

Ding Ning grinned and teased. “After you use this medicine, I think you’ll need to change your name.”

“Thank you, young master!”

A touch of joy appeared on Knife Scar’s face. As an elite mercenary, the most taboo thing was to have a distinctive mark.

The scar on Knife Scar’s face was a mark of his identity and made it very easy to expose his identity when carrying out missions. He had tried a number of methods and was unable to get rid of it.

Knife Scar had full confidence in Ding Ning’s medicinal skills. Finally, he could get rid of this annoying knife scar.
