In this way, Nan Si and Fei Mao received their new order from Nan Hua.
"It has been a while since I’ve been asked to go out." Fei Mao sighed. He has been staying in the Long Family Residence and mixed with the servants during these few days. Aside from coming to pay a visit to Xiao Yun from time to time, he would go and practice a bit. It was quite relaxing if he had to say.
But he didn’t really reject going out to do missions.
After all, this was indeed his job.
Nan Si glanced at Fei Mao and nodded. "Don’t make any unnecessary move. You’re just there to investigate and not make trouble."
Fei Mao: "…" I have worked in information gathering for so many years and I didn’t make trouble at all!
He glared at Nan Si and rolled his eyes. "I’m not a pure assassin anymore like you…"
"I’m a bodyguard."
Fei Mao: "…"
Alright, it was impossible to talk normally with Nan Si.
The two of them never really communicated much with each other in the past and Fei Mao didn’t really have the intention to do so either.
"I’ll be going now."
With that, Fei Mao slipped away.
He didn’t want to stay here any longer.
Nan Si looked at Fei Mao’s back and then turned back to the Long Family Residence once more. He would rather spend his time doing his own work or stay with Long Ai Ning. There was no point in meddling in other people’s business.
Besides, meddling too much would equate him with death in his previous line of profession.
There were many ruthless people who came to send money to kill some people. These people had their own reasons why they didn’t want to be found or to be known by others. For this reason, they would send their request anonymously.
Nan Si had long known about these people and would not bother with them unless it was necessary.
After all, he was unwilling to get into trouble because of knowing too much.
"Nan Si!" Long Ai Ning waved her hand happily when she saw Nan Si coming. "Come here, I made new type of cookie and I want you to taste it."
Seeing the bright smile on Long Ai Ning’s face, Nan Si had a warm smile on his face. "Yes."
He took the cookie from Long Ai Ning’s hand and tasted it. The sweet taste immediately pervaded in his mouth and Nan Si blinked his eyes.
"Did you use too much sugar?"
"Ah, is it too much?" Long Ai Ning frowned and then looked at the few pieces of cookies in her hand. "But it tasted really sweet and I like it."
Nan Si just nodded and said nothing else.
He never cared too much about the taste of his food as long as it was edible. So most of the time, the food he ate were bitter in taste. Perhaps because of this, he became more sensitive when eating something that was sweeter.
