Chương 21: Childish Tricks

Old Madam Long nodded with satisfaction to Nan Si Qiao's words. She raised her chin. "Tell that old man that he better treats me better in front of his beloved granddaughter. He wouldn't want to see two old people quarrel, right?"

Nan Si Qiao felt her teeth hurt right now.

She naturally knew that Old Master Nan and Old Madam Long knew each other and their relationship… could only be called terrible. They would always find out what method they could use to annoy the other party.

Now, Old Madam Long seemed to have find another method to annoy Old Master Nan.

Nan Si Qiao could only pray that her father would be able to handle it….

While Nan Si Qiao had to deal with Old Madam Long, Nan Hua had returned to the group of children with the shawl that was given to her by Nan Si Qiao's servant. It was deep blue in color and probably would be a waste to be used as children's game.

"Woah, what a beautiful shawl!" A girl exclaimed when she saw the shawl that Nan Hua brought.

The other girl also nodded in admiration. "You're right."

The third girl was mostly silent and didn't dare to speak. It seemed as if she was on the road to execution rather than going to play just from the way she looked like.

Su Ai Yuan also looked considerably jealous when she saw the cloth. She could tell at once that it was expensive, but she couldn't say anything unsound. "Since you have found the blindfold. Let's start the game!"

"Okay!"

"Close your eyes and then we're going to scatter!"

Nan Hua was still as acting as indifferent as ever as she put the shawl to cover her eyes. Truthfully, this kind of game was nothing for her because she still could sense these girls and recognized them even without looking.

Years of training and countless life and death's battle had honed her to become a powerful assassin.

It was certainly not something these pampered girls could imagine.

"Run!"

"Kyahahaha!"

"Sister Nan Hua, I'm over here!"

Nan Hua could sense that the other three were rushing far away while Su Ai Yuan was the only one who didn't stay far. Instead, she was walking closer to the small artificial river and pond that Long Family had.

The backyard was indeed big and the area where the children were playing were the area near the kitchen and also the small river. It was only around two meters' wide, so it was pretty small and only mostly used as decoration. A small bridge located there was often used by the girls.

The children were all already taught not to get too close to the small river and there were several servants who were guarding. Thus, it was deemed to be quite safe.

Or it was supposed to be.

Nan Hua had noticed that the servants had already moved away while Su Ai Yuan was not far from the small river.

"Sister Nan Hua, I'm over here!" Su Ai Yuan called again loudly.

Did that girl want to push her to the river? It might be autumn but the temperature had started to grow cold. If she fell to the river during this season, it was probable that she would fall sick.

Nan Hua slowly made her way to Su Ai Yuan. "Over here?"

"I'm here~." Su Ai Yuan was watching Nan Hua walking closer to her and her smile grew. She continued to wait until Nan Hua was near her and tried to grab on her. Her hand tugged Nan Hua's sleeve as an attempt to pull Nan Hua into the river.

"I got you."

"Not yet, I'm over here."

But before she managed to exert any power, she felt that her stepping had come loose. She was terrified as she wanted to stabilize herself but a force pull her towards the small river.

"AH!"

Her screams attracted the others to look in their direction.

Nan Hua's eyes glinted beneath the blindfold as she stretched her hand, acting as if she was trying to grab Su Ai Yuan. "Su Ai Yuan?"

The terrified Su Ai Yuan tried her best to grab Nan Hua's hand as she wanted to pull Nan Hua along with her. Even if she had to end up falling, she would make sure that Nan Hua was also falling with her!
