100m Yuan Wife: Buy One Get One

Chapter 784: Untitled

An Xunuo had to admit that the cake was delicious. It was sweet but not too greasy, and it left a fragrant smell in the mouth. This was the best dessert that she had eaten. It seemed like the young man had good baking skills.

She enjoyed the small cake a lot and wanted to eat more, but she was embarrassed as she had just said that she did not like to eat sweet stuff. Ye Ningyuan smiled and looked at her. Xunuo cleared her throat and suddenly stretched out her hand to shift the cake over and cut a big piece for herself. "I'm hungry."

Ye Ningyuan laughed out loud, feeling that An Xunuo was quite cute.

She happened to cut away the words 'Nuo Nuo' on the cake. Ye Ningyuan saw it and looked down, but he did not stop her. She did not see his expression as the cake was really delicious. Therefore, she only focused on eating the cake.

In the past, he would be the only one celebrating Nuo Nuo's birthday, and he always did so for the past few years. He knew that nobody had celebrated her birthday for her, and Nuo Nuo had never experienced that kind of happiness. He helped her celebrate for so many years, but it was not in her memory. He could not help but feel sad when he thought of this.

He would rather shorten his life for a few decades in exchange for her life, but there was no such deal in the world. He only wanted to let her know that there was still someone that remembered and thought of her in this world. He was waiting for her to come back.

He started to believe that ghosts and gods did exist in this world because of how special his sister, Ye Hailan was. He also started to believe that his longing for her could transcend the world of the dead and alive and reach her.

"Who are you celebrating the birthday for?" An Xunuo knew that she should not ask, but she was very curious. However, she regretted it after asking as they were still not close with each other. It did not seem appropriate to ask him about this.

"My wife!"

An Xunuo was eating the cake and suddenly choked. She coughed and grabbed the lemon water to drink. As the cake and fruit platter took up a lot of space on the small table, the lemon water was placed together and An Xunuo accidentally grabbed Ye Ningyuan's glass. He wanted to remind her that she had taken the wrong glass, but she had already drunk it.

Xunuo realized that she had taken the wrong glass after drinking a few sips and coughed. She paused, gritted her teeth, and coughed again. Her face started to become a little red. She calmly put down the glass and acted as if she did not realize it. But, he had caught her expressions and knew what she was thinking about. He admired her for being able to act so calmly and could not help but smile.

It had been many years since he was so happy.

Especially on this day.

"You're married?" She had never been so out of control. She had never forgotten herself no matter what dangerous or unimaginable news she heard.

But, she was very shocked when she heard that. She had looked him up before, and it did not state that he was married. She was from an intelligence organization, and her information should not be wrong.

She was starting to question her own ability.

"I want to marry her, but it's too bad that I don't have such a chance." Ye Ningyuan smiled and said calmly as if he was talking about someone else's story. "Her name is Xu Nuo. She is Xu Xing's sister, but she has passed away."

An Xunuo suddenly felt that her throat was dry and her mind became blank. She could not help but take the glass of lemon water again, this time the correct glass to drink before putting it down.

"Sorry!"

"It's alright." Ye Ningyuan smiled gently. An Xunuo's thoughts surged like the tide. Xu Nuo? Why didn't she think of the fact that the Xu family had a cursed daughter that was born on the same day as Xu Xing and was called Nuo Nuo? She should have thought of it earlier, but she didn't as Xu Nuo's name did not appear in her life frequently enough.

She remembered that she attended Xu Xing's birthday party when she was nine. Xu Xing had an obvious hatred toward her since young. Maybe it was because An Xunuo was innocent and well-liked by everyone, or maybe because Xu Xing's mother was too biased toward An Xunuo that Xu Xing did not like her. An Xunuo accidentally broke Xu Xing's favorite jade sculpture on her birthday and Xu Xing cried. An Xunuo knew that she was in the wrong and promised to find Xu Xing an exact replica.

Xu Xing refused and complained to her mom. An Xunuo could not explain herself and did not know what to do. Xu Xing's mom liked An Xunuo a lot and had accepted An Xunuo as her stepdaughter. The Xu family's maid called An Xunuo as 'miss' whenever they saw her. It was normal for kids to fight, but the young Xu Xing did not like An Xunuo as she felt that An Xunuo had snatched away her mom's love. Xu Xing started to create a scene and was scolded by her mom.

Xu Xing cried out loud and said that her mom doted on An Xunuo because of her sister's death. If so, why did they have to send her sister away and even caused her sister to die?

Her mom got furious and slapped Xu Xing.

Xu Xing was so angry that she went to ride her horse but fell down and injured herself. An Xunuo's godmom hugged Xu Xing and kept apologizing, and An Xunuo felt bad. She really liked Xu Xing's mom and Xu Xing when she was young, and she always wanted to be close with Xu Xing. But, Xu Xing disliked her until today.

That day, her godmom hugged her and cried. That was when she knew that Xu Xing had a sister called Xu Nuo, but Xu Nuo was abandoned by the Xu Family when she was three, and they did not know if she was still alive.

Xu Xing said that they had caused her sister's death and that's when the Xu family knew that Xu Nuo had died.

Since then, she knew why Xu Xing disliked her and tried to avoid going to the Xu family's house. Xu Xing's mom liked her because her name was Xu Nuo too. If not for this name, Xu Xing's mom might not even look at her.

This incident did not only cause Xu Xing to be sad but also An Xunuo. She liked Xu Xing's mom and Xu Xing only to realize that Xu Xing's mom was only treating her as a substitute for Xu Nuo. Therefore, all the love she had received was fake and just a dream.

She started to distance herself away from the Xu family and would not visit unless necessary.

She did not know much about Xu Nuo, but she had heard about how the Xu family abandoned Xu Nuo because of the curse, causing Xu Nuo to have a terrible death.

She did not want to ask too much as this was the Xu family's matter. Moreover, Xu Xing's mom did not like it when people talked about Xu Nuo. An Xunuo did not even ask if Xu Nuo was really dead or not ever since the day Xu Xing was injured.

Xu Xing felt unfair for her sister and told An Xunuo that Xu Nuo was dead. Xu Xing had a fight with her mom for two years before they reconciled.

"I'm really sorry for bringing up your sad story." An Xunuo apologized again. She should not have asked if she had known earlier as it reminded her of the sad past too.
