259 This Man Was Declaring His Sovereignty
The next morning, Ning Dai and Mo Chen finished washing up and changed their clothes. They planned to ask her master and senior brother to go to a nearby restaurant to eat together.
Unexpectedly, the moment they opened the door, they smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine in Ji Nian’s room.
Master was brewing Chinese medicine in his room? Was he sick?
Ning Dai was about to ask, but Ji Nian turned to look at them and stretched his back exaggeratedly.
“Young man, your stamina is really good. No matter how hard you try, you won’t find it tiring. You’re not like me, who has old bones and aches from just moving around.”
Ning Dai and Mo Chen looked at each other and their faces turned red.
The two of them had not been able to control themselves last night. She was afraid that the commotion was not small and had disturbed her master’s rest.
“That’s not true. Master is still in his prime and in good spirits. Why would your back ache?” Ning Dai smiled awkwardly and changed the topic. She did not forget to suck up to him. “Master, are you hungry? Let’s invite Senior Brother to eat something delicious together.”
“No, no, no. Dai’er is a girl after all. She doesn’t know much about men’s bodies,” Ji Nian said with a strange tone. However, his gaze landed on Mo Chen’s face as he mocked him.
“Young man, your stamina is good. You can make it through the night, but the child in Dai’er’s stomach can’t take it. Next time, be gentle. Don’t let my grand-disciple get hurt.”
“Master, it’s so early in the morning. Let’s not talk about this.” Ning Dai was a little embarrassed.
How could she not understand what her master was trying to imply? Moreover, it was the time for people to wake up. If her master shouted like this, wouldn’t everyone know that she and her Second Brother…
“Thank you for your concern, Master. This junior has learned from you.” Mo Chen answered politely, wanting to stop the topic.
“Humph, I’m worried about my grand-disciple.” Ji Nian glared at him.
He looked at Ning Dai’s stomach and said with a smile, “My good grand-disciple, did you have a good rest last night? If anyone bullies you, just tell grand-grandfather and grand-grandfather will teach them a lesson for you!”
One second, his face was cold, and the next second, he was smiling kindly. He really turned hostile faster than flipping through a book.
“The child in Dai’er’s stomach is mine. I will keep an eye out for them. I will not let anyone hurt them. Please rest assured, Senior.”
His voice was gentle and powerful, but it was a reminder. It let Ji Nian know that his beloved disciple was no longer just his treasure.
Ji Nian was stunned. He raised his head to look at Mo Chen, only to see a faint domineering aura in his eyes. Although his tone was polite, he did not allow anyone to question him.
This man was declaring his sovereignty to him.
Ji Nian suddenly fell silent. Even though he was unwilling to admit it, he could not help but realize that his Dai’er had indeed grown up and was about to leave him for another man’s embrace.
He sighed in his heart and stopped laughing. He said seriously, “Everyone knows how to say pretty words. However, I still have to slowly assess whether you are worthy of Dai’er’s lifelong commitment. If you really love and care for Dai’er, I will be at ease to hand her over to you.”
Mo Chen lowered his head and obediently listened to him. “This junior will definitely not let Senior down.”
“Alright, alright. Hurry up and eat.” Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn cold again, Ning Dai hurriedly smiled and spoke.
“Hold on, this is a great tonic that I just brewed. It nourishes the yin and nourishes the kidney. Drinking it will be good for both you and the fetus. I want to see you guys drink it before I feel at ease,” Ji Nian said as he poured the medicine into two cups.
