100m Yuan Wife: Buy One Get One

“I do not like it when other women fight with me for my daddy.” In Xunuo’s little world, there seemed to be a little dissonance to how her Daddy was different from before.

She became even clingier around him and behaved petulantly before him even more. Once he disappeared for a moment, she would become really unhappy like a few days ago. While her wound was not deep, she would never allow him to leave. She liked to hang around him and would never leave him for even a second.

In her little world, he was everything to her.

She could not do without him.

She had an unreasonably possessive streak in her heart and would not allow anybody to even draw close to her daddy. If anyone did, they would incur her wrath, dislike, and even tantrum. She looked to the side and tried to recall how her daddy looked like, but his image was very blurred in her mind. For some reason, she just felt that he was really close and sincere toward her. To her, he was hence her daddy.

He was her daddy, and nobody would fight with her for him!

If anyone did, she would fight tooth and nail with said person.

That woman gave her a feeling that she was out to snatch her daddy from her. He left with her, but the way he clearly avoided the question left her very unhappy.

Did her daddy really like that woman?

If he didn’t, why did he escape?

She had a very weird feeling. Her possessiveness of her daddy was too strong that it became twisted and weird. Things did not seem to be as such, so why was there this change?

Xunuo tried hard to find an answer but eventually gave up pondering on such a deep question.

Ye Ningyuan grabbed her shoulders and gently said, “Xunuo, nobody will fight with you for Daddy.”

“Nonsense!” An Xunuo stared at him. “You like that woman!”

Ye Ningyuan broke into laughter. “You silly lass! There are many different types of liking. “Daddy has a daddy, mommy, younger brother, younger sister, White Tiger, Green Dragon, Rosefinch, and Black Tortoise that he likes. They all will not snatch your daddy away.”

An Xunuo did not quite understand what he said, and it was as though he said nothing. She did not feel at peace and repeated to herself in her heart. ‘Xunuo, do not throw a tantrum. Do not get unhappy and make Daddy upset lest he does not want you.’

‘If he doesn’t want you, what should you do?’

It was as though she was hypnotizing herself, but it did not seem particularly effective. Her clear eyes were somewhat blurry as she looked into the depths of Ye Ningyuan’s eyes. “Daddy, why do you like so many people?”

He looked at her deeply without replying. An Xunuo looked a little sad and she seriously said, “I only like Daddy, but Daddy likes so many people. Can’t he just like Xunuo only?”

He reached out and drew her into his embrace. Her scent gently lingered around him. For some reason, he really liked this scent and was used to it.

She did not feel safe.

Or perhaps, she knew that her daddy was just that different and hence had an easy-come-easy-go approach since she was afraid to lose him. She had lost her memory and became innocent despite being smart. With more time, she would be able to make out how he was different from her daddy. She was so unreasonably possessive as she had no sense of security and was afraid of losing him.

‘Silly Xunuo. If you regain your memory someday, would you be able to remember how you were this innocent, this real, and this afraid before? Or would you wish to kill the current you?’

He caressed her long hair and said with a deep voice that hinted of promise, “Okay, okay, Daddy will only like you.”

He ought to cajole her since she was just like a kid who knew nothing. Her happy days had passed, and he knew well that Xunuo would not remain this innocent.

She would recover someday.

All the happiness she had died with Michael’s death, consumed by the fire. Her heart, in the days to come, would be filled with sadness and loneliness. She would have no idea who would calm her pain and dispel the hatred and loneliness she felt.

This buffer period for her was so hard to come by. He wanted to give her all the happiness so that she would have the courage to face the unhappiness that was to come.

“Is that for real?” An Xunuo’s eyes lit up with a glint. She held his sleeve tightly while seeking confirmation.

“Really.” Ye Ningyuan smiled.

“Daddy, you’d better not lie to Xunuo. If you do, Xunuo will really dislike you,” An Xunuo said with a beautiful smile as though her gloom had passed.

Ye Ningyuan gently caressed her long hair. Since it was still early, he brought her to a few other places to play.

He brought her to the auction house at night.

There were many auction houses in London, some were legal, and others not as legal. Ye Ningyuan would often patronize the illegal auction houses under his alias of ‘Black J’ whilst patronizing the legal ones in his own name.

“Daddy, what are we doing here?” This auction house was one of the more famous auction houses in London and was patronized by famous people. It was adorned with glitz and glamor and had such a presence that only the very rich were allowed access.

Ye Ningyuan and An Xunuo, on the other hand, seemed to stick out.

The auction grounds were an occasion where people sized themselves up against one another. It was a place where money and power blatantly collided. Whoever had the money called the shots. Most famous people who patronized the place would have spent considerable time and effort on their trade.

“I want to buy my mommy something. There is an item on auction that she has liked for a long time, so I’m getting it for her since I have the opportunity to.” Ye Ningyuan gently smiled as he led Xunuo into the auction house. “Do look around and tell me what you like later.”

“Will it be very expensive?”

“Let’s just say that Daddy has no idea what ‘expensive’ means.” Ye Ningyuan smiled. If there was anything that he considered pricey, then that was a miracle. To him, money wasn’t an issue.

“Is Daddy very rich?” An Xunuo turned around and blinked. “Are they corrupted gains? I remember that Daddy was very clean, so how did he have so much money?”

Xunuo seemed not to understand this problem. It surpassed her understanding.

Ye Ningyuan was helpless. Corrupted gains?

Very well, then. Since his character was rather similar to being corrupted, he could be considered corrupted then.

The auction grounds were huge, and it could accommodate a hundred people. Ye Ningyuan held An Xunuo and sat before a table. The waiter delivered two glasses of red wine.

Sitting in the middle but slightly off-right, they were not too far from the stage. Ye Ningyuan looked at the crowd inside the auction house. There weren’t too many of them, and they were half an hour away from the official auction time.
