“Hmph! He’s always avoiding me in this topic.” Old Master Long sneered when he watched his grandson ran to the back courtyard to practice again.

The butler came to pour more tea for Old Master Long. He looked at the young master on the backyard and said slowly, “Young Master is still young and didn’t want to care about this kind of matter, Old Master.”

“Heh, always saying that he’s too young. He’s already 21 years old and it’s fine even if he wants to start a family.”

The butler looked at Old Master Long helplessly. The young master was still in the military academy and it was estimated that he wanted to fight for his future first before thinking about finding a partner and starting family.

“Hmph! Let me call that old man from Nan Family. When will he come and play chess with me again?”

Watching Old Master Long complained to Old Master Nan, the butler smiled.

The two of them were good brothers who fought side by side on the battlefield and their relationship was very good until now.

“What the hell, you b****! Do you think that…”

At most… they will scold each other for a few hours when they quarreled.

…

<Nan Family Residence>

Nan Hua went back to her room and looked at the wardrobe in front of her. Madam Nan had prepared a lot of clothes inside, but she didn’t pay much attention to the size and these clothes were already outdated.

Even though Nan Hua was not a person who paid much attention to appearance, she knew that she had to when she became the young miss of Nan Family. Because her every action would represent the family behind her and they would want to know more about her.

She picked a relatively casual dress, coat, and long pants. It was spring, but the temperature was still relatively colder. The former Nan Hua had such poor martial arts and constitution, so she should be more sensitive to the temperature.

After a while, Nan Hua finished picking the dress.

She looked at the mirror. Dressed in light blue dress, she looked like a soft and demure girl. The dress highlighted her beauty but didn’t make it too revealing nor too vulgar. It was just right.

After she was done, she walked out of the room.

The butler who came upstairs stopped when he saw Nan Hua and bowed. “Young Miss, Second Young Miss Xian Xie is here.”

“I’ll see her,” Nan Hua replied softly.

“Yes.”

Walking down the stairs to the living room, Nan Hua soon spotted the girl sitting in the living room. The young woman still looked fairly young with sharp eyebrows and a bit fierce expression. She didn’t look alike Nan Hua at all, but she was also a beauty on her own.

It was just that such appearance made it hard for her to look weak.

“Cousin Xian Xie,” Nan Hua called.

“Cousin Hua,” Nan Xian Xie greeted Nan Hua and turned to look at the young woman in front of her. The corner of her lips twitched slightly when she saw Nan Hua’s soft appearance.

Compared to her who looked fierce, Nan Hua’s appearance was simply the polar opposite.

She looked like a weak girl who needed other people’s protection while she looked like a fierce woman who could tear apart others.

The comparison made her annoyed.

But thinking of her grandfather, she knew better than to disobey his order. He might look quite amiable on daily basis, but his means were not something they could withstand head on.

So if they still wanted to stay alive, they will listen to his words.

“Grandfather said that we’re going to shop?” Nan Hua asked tentatively.

“Yeah. There’s a mall nearby that belong to First Aunt.” Nan Xian Xie turned her head away. “It’s time for you to buy more clothes that more suited you.”

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. “Does my dress doesn’t suit me, Cousin Xian Xie?”

“No.” Nan Xian Xie snorted. “It’s too plain.”

“Oh.” Nan Hua lowered her eyes.

She might not be raised in the nobility family, but she still has good sense of aesthetic. After all, to be an agent who could become almost everyone, it was necessary to know various matters. Even if she was not a master at these things, she still had basic knowledge.

The color matching and the look on the outside was pretty good. It didn’t look luxurious nor too poor.

Nan Xian Xie looked at this new cousin of hers and felt more annoyed. “Come on, the driver is already waiting for us.”

“Yes, Cousin Xian Xie.”

The two girls walked out of the mansion to the car that had been prepared. Both sit on the backseat and Nan Xian Xie took out her phone, texting her father to tell him that she was going shopping with Nan Hua.

It didn’t take long for them to arrive in the mall.

Nan Hua looked at the sign of the mall and knew that this mall belonged to her mother. Unlike her father who was very active in the military, her mother was a proper businesswoman and had countless business. It was also because of this that she was so strict.

The first son is the heir of the military.

The second son is the heir of the business.

And the appearance of Nan Hua could only be said to be unneeded in terms of their needs for heir and descendants.

Nan Xian Xie brought Nan Hua to the clothing store. “Look at these clothes, these dresses are very beautiful and suit you very much.”

Nan Hua looked at the row of dresses that Nan Xian Xie pointed at and blinked her eyes. They did look very good, but their color and design was really childish and not very suitable for a teenager like Nan Hua.

Not to mention, as military academy students, it would be impossible for Nan Hua to wear this kind of dresses in daily basis. It could only be worn during special event such as a party or something like that.

But Nan Hua was not exactly someone who would participate in parties.

“Really?” Nan Hua asked, her tone was timid and didn’t seem to be suspicious at all.

“Yes.” Nan Xian Xie nodded her head.

“Cousin, then help me pick my size,” Nan Hua replied unhurriedly.

Nan Xian Xie actually wanted to pick clothes for herself too. Unlike Nan Hua who entered the military academy, she entered the normal academy and naturally needed these kind of clothes for parties.

Hearing Nan Hua’s words, Nan Xian Xie smiled and patted her chest. “Leave it to your cousin.”

“Okay~.” Nan Hua nodded, her expression showed trust on the surface.
