Chapter 1: First Meeting

When she was thirteen, her father died.

Her mother took Cen Ning to the Yan family.
She had never been there before, but she had heard that her fiancé lived there.

To be honest, Cen Ning was still young.
She didn’t really comprehend the word ‘fiancé’ clearly.
She only knew that it was someone she had never met, but would probably treat her very well.

Time ticked on and on, and at 4:20 in the afternoon, the long black car stopped in front of a big gate.
Cen Ning sat in the back row respectfully and properly, only glancing out the window once she realised that she had arrived at the destination.

Everything in front of her was unfamiliar; the buildings, roads, cars, and even the people who politely opened the car door for her…all of this was beyond her scope of knowledge.
She felt her palms sweat slightly.

“Madame Wei, we have arrived.” The man who came out from the passenger seat to open the door for them said to Wei Pinfang.

Cen Ning turned to look at her mother, who was nodding at the people outside.
She then whispered to Cen Ning: “What are you doing sitting their stupidly, get out of the car.”

Cen Ning pursed her lips and hesitated, but under the dissatisfied gaze of her mother, she got out of the car obediently.

“They are training.” The man who was leading the way saw this and answered with a smile, “This is very common.
Our compound is also cultivating this kind of talent, this group is new this year.”

After answering, they continued to walk forward.
Cen Ning was a little curious about such a scene, and couldn’t help but look back, so the small person was pulled further away again.

Pound, pound pound ––

At this moment, there were several sounds of the ball hitting the ground not too far away.
When Cen Ning’s eyes moved from the phalanx to over here, the ball had just stopped bouncing and rolled in front of her leisurely.

Where had this basketball come from?

Before Cen Ning could raise her head, there was already a cold voice echoing in front of her.

“Kid, kick the ball over.”

The timbre of his voice was a little low, like a turbulent spring within a deep mountain forest that had endless waves on the surface, but when it fell upon the eardrum, you could feel the inner mysteriousness and nobility.

Cen Ning slowly raised her head to look at the person who spoke not too far away.
The person looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
He was wearing white sportswear and had a pair of white and blue sneakers.
He was very tall, his eyebrows cold and exquisite, his looks were especially outstanding.

At this moment, he looked at her without any waves of emotion, his thick black eyelashes drooping slightly.
Although he didn’t say much, Cen Ning felt an invisible pressure being born.

She squeezed her palms, panicked and kicked her foot.

But she didn’t know if it was because she was too nervous, the kick only swiped the edge of the ball, the basketball slowly rolled forward and stopped again.

“…………”

“Pfft! This little girl has very little strength.” A boy in black sportswear trotted forward.
He bent down and picked up the basketball on the ground, and asked the man who had led Cen Ning into the gates, “Old Gao, did you bring this little girl over? Who’s this, a relative?”

Old Gao walked back to stand beside Cen Ning, and said politely: “Not a relative, but a guest invited by Old Master.”

As soon as these words came out, the boys who were playing on the court all looked at Cen Ning in surprise, and even the person who had spoken so coldly before turned his attention towards her.

Cen Ning had always been timid, her face could turn red all over just from the teacher calling her up to answer a question.
What’s more, so many boys were suddenly looking at her.
She moved behind Old Gao subconsciously, and looked at Wei Pinfang a few steps away in a panic.

“Old Yan Master’s guest? D*mn, she’s got a lot of honor.” He turned his head and said, “Brother Yan, you know her?”

Brother Yan.

His surname was Yan?

Cen Ning was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at the cold-faced boy who had just asked her to pick up the ball.

“I don’t know her.” The boy frowned slightly and looked at Old Gao.

It was nothing more than a look, he didn’t even speak, but Old Gao understood the meaning of it and immediately explained respectfully, “She’s from the Cen family, this little girl is called…Cen Ning.”

“What.” Yan Xingzhi paused and lowered his eyes again to look at Cen Ning.
This time, there was an obvious surprise in his cold eyes, “You say, this kid?”

“I’m not, a kid.” Cen Ning somehow replied boldly, however, she s
