This boy is usually quite long-winded. Why dont you talk when you see Qingqing? How are you going to find yourself a wife? Aunt Kong joked suggestively.
Ning Qing didnt reply to that.
Yue Wanqing smiled. Aunt Kong, Yangyang is such a nice boy. Why are you worried that he cant get a wife? Young people spend time together and eventually grow fond of each other. Qingqing, am I right? She pulled Ning Qings hand.
Her mother didnt know that she was engaged with Xu Junxi. Three years ago, when her father Ning Zhenguo decided on that, he didnt discuss it with her mother. Ning Qing didnt reveal it to her mother. She thought it would be better for Mother that way. Ignorance is bliss.
Mom Ning Qing responded in a spoilt way, playing along with Yue Wanqing.
Yue Wanqing and Aunt Kong exchanged a glance and thought it worked.
After having half a bowl of porridge, Yue Wanqing suddenly recalled, Qingqing, tomorrows your grandmas birthday. She dotes on you the most. Order your grandmas favorite strawberry cake from Fook Kee and send it over. Wish your grandma a happy birthday.
Ning Qing was stunned. She really didnt feel like going.
Yue Wanqing touched Ning Qings head. Qingqing, no matter how your father and I ended, you are still his daughter. This cannot ever be changed.
Ning Qing smiled coldly in her heart. Did Ning Zhenguo treat her like his daughter?
Three years ago, he abandoned his wife and daughter and kicked them out of the house. When she had trouble with her tuition fees, Ning Zhenguo didnt offer a penny. When her mother was sick, he didnt even bother. His title of father was purelysuperficial.
Ning Qing softened when she thought about her grandma. Her grandma doted on her the most. When she was young, her grandma always carried her and she didnt want her to fall down. Her grandma always smiled and said, Our baby Qingqing in the Ning family is the best, the most beautiful
Ning Qing nodded. Alright, Ill head over to Nings house tomorrow.
Ning Qing held the cake and came to the Nings chalet.
She rang the doorbell and the butler, Uncle Fook, answered the door.
Uncle Fook obviously stiffened when he saw her. He ran to the door next to metal railing but didnt extend his hand to open the door. He said nervously, I see. Its the young lady. How can I help you?
Uncle Fook called her the young lady, but refused her entry and asked for her purpose of visit. Ning Qing found it rather funny.
He was just a servant. He had to work by gauging his masters mood. She smiled and lifted the cake in her hand. Uncle Fook, todays Grandmas birthday. I ordered a cake to wish Grandma a happy birthday.
Uncle Fook paused and replied, Young Lady, ever since she fell down the stairs three years ago, she has been in a blur. This year, Sir and Madam decided to not celebrate. Theyre merely going to cook some longevity noodles instead.
Uncle Fook refused her visit tactfully.
Ning Qing fluttered her long eyelashes. Alright then. I will not go in but this strawberry cake is Grandmas favorite. Can you bring it in for Grandma?
This Uncle Fook hesitated.
She heard the screeching of brakes. Ning Qing turned around and saw a Lamborghini parked at the side of the house. The drivers door opened and Xu Junxi got out.
It seemed like Xu Junxi didnt see her. He ran to the passenger side of the car and opened the door like a gentleman. A light yellow figure appeared.
Ning Qing stood straight and lifted the corners of her lips into a smile. Such a coincidence. Ning Yao who was determined to leave the country after hearing the news of her and Xu Junxis engagement three years ago, but now she has returned.
Ning Yao looked beautiful. Her youthful face and exquisite fashionable accessories, hershy gaze, and her innocent yet gentle behavior; any man would love to protect such a delicate woman.
