Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

"What's wrong?" Li Nanyuan asked gently, as if he hadn't noticed anything amiss.

A quick grab on the wrist is really nothing serious. "It's alright, let's go."

Once in the car, Wu Tongxue began rummaging through the bags, leaving the ones she had rummaged through to the side, which Li Nanyuan then took to rearrange them.

"Found it!" Wu Tongxue took out a brown curly-haired bear, removed the scarf from the bear's neck, and held it up to her wrist.

"What else are you looking for?" Li Nanyuan put the bag aside.

"I'm not looking anymore," Wu Tongxue shook her head. "I've already found a gift for my uncle."

Is my uncle here too?

Li Nanyuan could tell that Wu Tongxue had a very good relationship with his aunt and uncle, as she spoke in a naturally coquettish tone when on the phone.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent, then picked up his phone and sent a few messages.

Wu Tongxue was folding a brown scarf for a teddy bear, and carefully placed it aside after folding it.

My uncle's hair must have grown long enough; we can tie it up for him.

Shenghua Restaurant is located deep in a small alley. The plaque is old and the bluestone brick walls bear the marks of time. From the outside, you can see a few green bamboos in the corner of the courtyard.

The car stopped outside, and the door of Shenghua Restaurant opened. A mixed-race beauty dressed in a black and red cheongsam walked out, her hair neatly pinned up behind her head. She had thin lips and a high nose. She walked gracefully, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.

"Aunt!" Wu Tongxue exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you come out in person?"

Lilith ruffled his hair, her husky, androgynous voice softening, "Haven't seen you in a while, sweetheart, you've lost weight. Stay at your aunt's house and we'll help you get some nutrition."

Wu Tongxue quickly shook his head; he didn't want to be fed every day.

"Auntie, this is Li Nanyuan, my friend." He quickly introduced them.

“This is my aunt, you can…” call her Aunt Wen.

Lilith interrupted him, smiling meaningfully at Li Nanyuan, "I am Lilith."

Smiling, she half-huddled Wu Tongxue in her arms, like holding a cat. "Mr. Li and I are of the same generation, sweetheart, don't make me sound old."

She told Li Nanyuan, "Just call me Lilith."

Another ill-intentioned fellow.

Li Nanyuan nodded politely, "Ms. Wen."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Please accept this small gift."

Before anyone knew it, he had a bag in his hand.

Top-tier wines?

Lilith squinted at her, her lips curving wider. "Come in."

This kid knows how to please people.

The items were taken by the person next to her, and Lily led Wu Tongxue inside, saying, "The food is ready, come in and eat."

Wu Tongxue turned to look at Li Nanyuan, her eyelashes fluttering, her eyes bright, and she looked at him with some curiosity.

When did he prepare the gift?

What was supposed to be a simple meal suddenly felt strangely awkward to him.

These lingering thoughts vanished the moment she saw her uncle.

In the courtyard, a man sat in a wheelchair. He was thin, with sickly pale skin and dark scars on the back of his hands.

Her slender shoulder blades strained against her royal blue top, her bone structure flowing smoothly, covered only by a thin layer of skin and flesh, and her eyes were deep-set.

Her shoulder-length hair was mostly gray, a mix of black and gray, and her whole body was covered with a faded gray shadow.

A thin blanket was placed on her legs, her hands were crossed on her legs, and she closed her eyes to rest.

Just sitting there, it was as if dark clouds surrounded him, and the wind was strong and the weather was cold.

"Uncle! I'm here!" The boy's cheerful voice broke the long silence.

Wu Shan suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smile curving his lips, his whole being radiating a gentle, spring-like warmth.

"coming."

He looked at Wu Tongxue with exceptional kindness and reached out to straighten the collar of the boy squatting in front of him.

"Slow down, be careful not to fall."

His voice, which had been rather cold, softened and became more gentle and mellow. He treated the boy almost like his own son, and could never be cold to him.

Even when lecturing, he was exceptionally gentle.

He slowly and deliberately smoothed out his slightly turned-up collar, turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes calm.

"Xiao Li, it's been a long time."

Li Nanyuan responded politely, "Mr. Wu, you look much more energetic than before."

Wu Shan gave him a friendly look.

“You two know each other.” Wu Tong glanced back, then stared at Wu Shan’s face. “Indeed, Uncle, you look fatter than before. It seems you really have been taking your medicine properly.”

“Since you’ve personally given the order, your uncle will naturally do as you say,” Lilith teased. “Your uncle is most afraid of making you angry.”

"I won't be angry if Uncle takes his medicine properly." Wu Tongxue stood up and took out a brown scarf from her body.

She went around behind him, gathered her shoulder-length hair in her palm, and tied it up with a scarf.

"This is a gift for Uncle." She waved and ran towards Li Nanyuan. "Uncle, let's go eat first."

Li Nanyuan gave a slight nod to the couple in polite farewell, then turned and walked away following Wu Tongxue's lead.

Lilith raised an eyebrow. "Running so fast, are you afraid we'll eat his friend?"

Wu Shan: "Friend?"

"This is a friend that our sweetheart has personally acknowledged. Don't do anything rash, or you might make our sweetheart cry."

"Ah."

"Old Huang has changed your prescription. Try drinking it tonight."

Wu Shan frowned slightly and remained silent.

"Sweetheart is here today. If you dare to fall, I'll make Sweetheart cry in front of you."

Wu Shan: "..."

He managed to get the wheelchair under control and left.

"Silent type." Lilith walked away in the opposite direction, not worried about him at all.

After dragging Li Nanyuan away, Wu Tongxue slowly pulled him along.

"You know my uncle?" He looked at Li Nanyuan curiously.

Li Nanyuan: "We've done business together before."

"Oh." Wu Tongxue nodded. Her uncle did indeed run some businesses, such as this restaurant.

Li Nanyuan didn't say much; they weren't thinking about the same kind of business.

The Li family only recently cleaned up their image and left the gray area. In the early years, they had cooperated with Wu Shan many times.

Even though he's retired from the business, he's still well-informed and knows that Wu Shan has also retired from the business in recent years to focus on health and wellness.

Rumors suggest that his health was failing and he had to retire.

Now it seems there was another reason; this injury was not enough to force him to retreat.

The boy chattered away beside him, always so cheerful and lively, clean and bright in the sunlight.

Li Nanyuan's mood improved, and he picked up on Li Nanyuan's occasional nonsensical remarks.

"Look at that, doesn't that cloud look like a puppy? It also looks a bit like a flower." A cloud drifted across the sky and was spotted by the boy.

“Apart from having rounder ears and a fluffier body, he’s fatter than Hua Hua.”

Wu Tongxue gestured to him, "Does it look like it?"

Li Nanyuan and he looked at the clouds in the sky together, walking slowly. "They look so alike, just as cute."

His sharp facial features melted away with his deliberately gentle smile, making him appear refined and lacking the coldness of a capitalist.

Wu Tongxue took a picture of the clouds with her phone, intending to post it on her WeChat Moments later.

Hearing his rambling, Li Nanyuan asked, "Mind if I post it too?"

“Of course not.” Wu Tongxue picked through the photos in the album with great interest. “This one is the best. I’ll send it to you.”
