So, when it comes to the Qiao Family, she really didn’t know.
She had never been there before, but she had heard Qiao Feiyu mention it. She said her father was a university professor and lived on the university town side.
However, she hadn’t expected that after the car left the city, got on the ring road, and drove for about half an hour, with the sudden opening up of the view in front, the greenery on both sides suddenly increased.
Those were camphor trees, one after another, lush and leafy. She didn’t know how many years they’d been planted, but as they drove into the area with the evening just beginning to set in, the whole street seemed isolated, the hustle and bustle of the city slowly disappearing, replaced by tranquility and ease amidst the dancing shadows of the trees.
This place was really beautiful!
Ye Ning’s eyes lit up at the sight, and she rolled down the car window. Seeing the street outside with few vehicles, all either cyclists or pedestrians, she couldn’t help asking, "Does everyone living here work at the university?"
Xiaojin nodded, "Almost, this is a famous university in A City. Many teachers or students’ parents buy houses nearby."
Ye Ning realized and continued to look out the window. As the car got closer to the university, buildings began to appear more frequently on both sides. But most importantly, past those buildings lay rows of beautiful villas, and her gaze settled there.
"We’re almost there, the lady’s home is right over there."
Upon seeing the row of villas, Xiaojin immediately said.
Ye Ning nodded, and then she bent down to tidy up the child beside her in preparation for getting out of the car.
In just two or three minutes, the car stopped in front of a villa that looked quite sizable. And there, at the brightly lit entrance of the villa, Qiao Feiyu, wearing a snow-white princess dress, was already waiting.
"Aning, Xiaobao, you’re finally here. I was just about to die waiting for you!"
Qiao Dani always spoke in a loud and carefree manner. Seeing the two arrive, she eagerly came over to open the door for them herself.
Ye Ning stayed inside, and upon seeing her, she sent her son out first before getting out of the car herself.
"Wow, Ning, you look so beautiful today!" Qiao Feiyu, holding Ye Xiaobao in her arms, was dazzled by her best friend emerging from the car.
She indeed looked beautiful, especially after putting on the starry sky blue strapless cocktail dress her brother had custom-made for her today.
Ye Ning, seeing her stare, couldn’t help blushing a little: "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at a beauty!"
Ye Ning gave her a glare and then looked past her.
She saw that behind her, the villa was already very lively—lights ablaze, voices loud and clear. In the garden, many pure white roses had been arranged, with beautiful ribbons of all sorts tied around them. The grandeur of the scene was somewhat astonishing.
"Is it really your mother’s birthday today?"
Qiao Feiyu nodded, "Yeah, why do you ask?"
Ye Ning laughed and replied, "Nothing, it just feels very grand."
A birthday party, decorated with white roses?
Stepping into the garden, Ye Ning found it odd to see the dew still lingering on the white petals on both sides.
