Chapter 2723 - 2716: Ruining His Plans

He was inexplicably fond of that delicate little child!

When he was younger, life at home was hard, working from dawn till dusk just to make a living.

The desires in his heart were suppressed.

But as he got older, life improved. Whenever he saw a delicate little child, he couldn’t move his legs. Initially, he suppressed these desires, but over time, he couldn’t hold them back anymore.

However, he didn’t dare to act recklessly with the village children, afraid of causing trouble.

But he found an exception, and that was Jiang Wanwan.

She was so endearing, with her big eyes blinking, making one’s heart tremble.

Even better, her parents weren’t home, leaving only her grandparents who had lost their ability to work.

So he decisively chose to target her.

He used both threats and temptations, watching the little girl grow increasingly fearful, entirely under his control.

Tonight, he planned to thoroughly deal with the little girl.

Just as the shopkeeper was anxiously waiting, Jiang Wanwan finally appeared.

He was delighted, just about to greet her, when he saw someone else following her in.

It was Ning Chenguang.

This little boy was very handsome, with extraordinary looks, clearly no ordinary child. However, the child was too clever, and his parents were both high-ranking officials he couldn’t afford to offend.

Every time he saw Ning Chenguang, he suppressed his fondness for him, but besides liking him, he also felt quite troubled.

This little boy had recently been always with Jiang Wanwan.

Leaving him with no chance to approach Jiang Wanwan.

And here he was again!

"Wanwan, you’re here? Quickly come help!" the shopkeeper said, pretending to be serious.

"Hmm." Jiang Wanwan barely lifted her head and replied, "Grandpa Shi, what do I need to do?"

"Go organize the goods."

"Okay."

Jiang Wanwan buried herself in organizing the goods, while the shopkeeper saw Ning Chenguang sitting on a small stool, resting his chin on his hand, watching Jiang Wanwan without saying a word.

"Chenguang, what do you want to buy?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"I’m Jiang Wanwan’s friend. I’m here to stay with her. Once she’s done, I’m going to play with her," Ning Chenguang said.

"She’ll be working for a long time. Why don’t you go back first?" the shopkeeper suggested.

"No need, I’m not in a hurry! I’ll wait for her!"

The good thing the shopkeeper had been hoping for days was disrupted, leaving him fuming.

But he was anxious and could do nothing.

With dinner ready at the He Family, He Yue was searching everywhere for Ning Chenguang.

After looking for a long time without success, she was upset and crying at home wanting to find him.

He Fusheng heard that Chenguang went out and hadn’t returned, so he searched the whole village for him, finally finding Ning Chenguang at the small shop.

"Guangguang, why are you here? It’s time to go back for dinner!" He Fusheng urged upon seeing him.

"I’m not going back. I want to wait for Wanwan!" Ning Chenguang said stubbornly.

"You can play tomorrow!"

"No! I must wait today!" He had promised Wanwan to accompany her, so he had to keep his word.

He Fusheng found his behavior odd, wondering, "Why are you waiting for her?"

Ning Chenguang didn’t reply. It was a secret; this was between him and Jiang Wanwan.

The shopkeeper found the situation a bit strange and wondered if that day, while he and Jiang Wanwan were alone, this clever boy had overheard something.

Thinking of this, he was startled and quickly said to Wanwan, "Okay, it’s getting late, you should hurry back for dinner."
