You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 135 A Slap

"Nina, could you call me Aunt one more time?" Kristina said with a kind face.

Nina was confused. Kristina was Noah's aunt, right? So it was okay for her to call Kristina Aunt, too.

"Aunt."

"There we go!" Kristina replied happily. Nina called her in the exact same way that Noah did.

"Nina, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No." She wasn't lying. She didn't have a boyfriend, but she did have a husband. Nina didn't know who or where he was though.

Kristina happily asked, "Do you like anyone in particular?"

Nina hesitated. John's elegantly handsome face flashed through her mind. She looked around anxiously trying to find him again. She was so wrapped up in John that he consumed her mind.

"Well, it seems that you like someone." Kristina noticed Nina's hesitance and saw her looking around. She thought that she was possibly looking for her lover which saddened Kristina.

It wasn't easy to find someone that was so similar to Noah. Unfortunately, Nina was with someone else already.

The most important thing though was that Noah liked Nina. He didn't just give anyone his lollipops and since he gave them to Nina, he must be very impressed with her.

He had been asked on a few occasions by other girls for lollipops and he always refused.

"She must just like him," Albert interjected, as if he was urging Kristina not to give up so soon.

He thought that Nina's feelings towards John was nothing more than a simple crush. They only knew each other for a short time so there couldn't be any love between them.

For Albert, liking could be instant but love took much longer.

When he was fourteen years old, he met Kristina and liked her and only fell in love with her by the age of twenty. It took six years for the love to grow in his heart.

"You're right!" Kristina held Nina's hand and said with a smile, "Nina, you see, you and Noah are Professor Gu's disciples and you already call me Aunt. If you need any help, just let me know. If your boyfriend doesn't treat you well, just tell me."

'Tell me so I can tell Noah to pursue you.

It'll be a better use of his time anyway, much better than dealing with dead bodies all the time.'

Also it'll be so much nicer to deal with this lovely woman than his male subordinates.'

Kristina was wishfully thinking away, hoping Nina eventually would come around.

"Thank you, Aunt." Without thinking too much of this, Nina smiled brightly. She liked Kristina and Noah very much. They were just good people. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

It took Adela a long time to recover and she was still shocked by the way Kristina and Nina addressed each other.

It didn't sit well with Adela. 'Why does Nina have a good relationship with the Ye family?'

"Ms. Ye, I think you'd better find out what kind of person Nina is." Although Adela was afraid of the Ye family, she spoke quite assertively. Her uncle, Mr. Zhu, held power over the whole entertainment industry and worked closely with the three most powerful families in Lexingport City.

Adela often acted without thinking too much, just knowing that her uncle was such a powerful man.

"Do you know what kind of person Nina is?" Kristina disliked Adela very much. If it weren't for Mr. Zhu's sake, Kristina would have thrown Adela out of the Ye family a long time ago. She couldn't stand her being around and misbehaving.

"I'm not the only one who knows. Everyone in L University knows that she..." Adela was about to talk about the scandal where Nina sold her body for money.

"Adela, I think your cheeks are not rosy enough," Nina said nonchalantly. Her calm tone was somehow so menacing. She wagged her finger in the air and she glanced at Adela with her disdainful and cold eyes.

She just wanted to be low-key, but she needed to save face for John.

If it really got to her though, she wouldn't hesitate to hit Adela.

Nina occasionally clenched her fists, stretching out her hands and loosening them up. It looked like somewhat of a warm up before she got into a fight. Frightened, Adela widened her eyes and stammered, "What...what are you going to do? Are you going to attack me?"

"It's pretty rare for you to catch on so quickly," Nina joked.

"Nina, if you dare to hit me, you'll have my uncle to deal with. You bitch!" The hatred in Adela's eyes beamed as she blurted out her anger.

A while back, there was a competition at the university for the school belle. Pictures had to be sent into the campus forum and students would vote. Someone secretly sent in a blurred photo of Nina with nobody really paying attention to it. So Nina's ranking was insultingly low.

On the other hand, Adela had uploaded a striking picture of herself and the feedback was incredible. Her ranking was soaring all the way to the top when Nina finally found the blurred picture that someone had posted of her. Nina then posted a full body picture and captioned it with, "This is actually what I look like."

In less than half a day, Nina got the top spot.

Adela absolutely despised Nina.

Nina didn't know that though. She just assumed they just weren't that friendly with each other.

Nina raised her hand and swiftly slapped Adela.

"Ah!"

The loud slap, accompanied by a howl, shocked all of the people in the banquet hall. In an instant, everyone stopped talking and stared at them.

Adela staggered backwards and fell on the carpet. She held her face in her hand, with tears flooding her eyes. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Nina, how dare you hit me?"

"It's done now." Nina's voice was soft but resolute, like true royalty. She casually pulled Albert's pocket square out of his suit jacket and said, "I'll return this at some point."

"No, it's yours." Albert smiled. He was used to it. He looked down at Adela pitifully. It was a shame that she would probably also have consequences to face from here.

"Thank you." Nina opened up the pocket square, crumpled it into a ball and walked towards Adela step by step. She bent down and stuffed the square towel into Adela's mouth. With one electric movement she slapped her again and then dragged her outside.

While walking, Nina nodded calmly. "Sorry to bother you."

Kristina was astonished. "Has Nina always been like this?"

Albert nodded, "It's normal."

Kristina asked, "Will Noah have any luck with her?"

Albert smiled with certainty and said, "I promise he'll be fine."

"That's good." Kristina breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dislike Nina at all, and actually liked her strong personality. Kristina thought that Nina would never let anyone take advantage of her so Noah didn't need to worry about her.

Dora, who had been standing aside and watching the whole altercation, stood dumbfounded with her mouth wide open. She couldn't take her eyes off Nina.

"Who is this dashing lady? I want her to teach me." Dora nudged Chester. "Her overcoat is so familiar. The dress she's wearing is so similar to mine. I saw it when I was choosing a dress to buy. Vivian also has a dress in the same series. Look at the high-heeled shoes on her feet. They are the summer items from FG. They haven't been placed in the store for sale yet."

Dora had a keen sense of fashion. With a glance, she knew which brand it was of and how much it cost.

'Her ensemble is worth millions.'

Chester narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes." 'It turns out that she's Uncle John's girlfriend.

The overcoat has been customized by Uncle John and the shoes are indeed from FG. She looks much younger than Uncle John so it must be the girl that James has mentioned.

But where is Uncle John?'
