Of course, the ones who ate the most were Xiaobao and Ye Ning, and as for Ou Mucen.
Although he thought the dishes were good, he never ate much, just about ten pieces. The rest of his time was spent picking dishes for Xiaobao and reminding him not to spill food on himself or the table.
Ye Ning did not interfere with this because she knew that this man had excellent manners. If he taught his son, it would only lead to better outcomes, not worse.
After eating for about half an hour, the dishes and rice on the table were swept clean by the three of them. Ye Ning then realized that these two had come over without having had dinner.
No, it’s more precise to say this man came without eating anything. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have seen him finish a bowl of rice and drink a bowl of soup for the first time.
After dinner, Ye Ning went to the kitchen to clean the dishes, and Ou Mucen received a phone call in the room. Who knows what was said, but when he returned from the balcony outside, his face was extremely grim.
What happened to him?
When Ye Ning came over to take Xiaobao to wash up, she saw his expression and couldn’t help but wonder.
After bathing Xiaobao and tucking him into the room next door, the man in the room saw it was getting late and got up: "I’m leaving. These two days, Xiaobao will stay here. Take good care of him. I’ll call you when I get back."
After speaking, he stood up from the edge of the sofa and walked over.
Ye Ning stood there looking at him, not knowing what to say...
Clearly, when he barged in earlier, she was furious with him, but now, as he said he was leaving, she found herself feeling a tinge of reluctance, especially seeing his face suddenly turn so grave, adding a bit more concern.
Yet, as he walked towards her, the worry in her mind was replaced by something else she had overheard at the tea party, that he was going to be engaged to the mayor’s daughter. Instantly, her heart stung, then everything calmed down.
Right, he’s about to be engaged to someone, so why should she even care?
She ignored him and directly went to boil water on the side!
Ou Mucen had sat there waiting for so long, really just wanting to talk with her after she put the child to sleep properly.
Moreover, he noticed the reluctance in her eyes, so he had thought about coming over to... do something while the timing was right.
However, when he got closer, he couldn’t help but notice that the spark in her eyes had disappeared. Then she was boiling water, without even glancing at him.
What’s gotten into her now?
The handsome man’s face immediately darkened, just as he was about to pull her over, suddenly someone downstairs called for her: "Aning, have you eaten yet? Sir asked me to call you for dinner."
Why has Xiaojin come?
Having dinner, hadn’t she not gone to Tang Garden for a long time?
Ye Ning frowned, turned around, intending to refuse the person outside the window, but as soon as she turned, she caught sight of a man whose face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
Oh no, she forgot he was here!
Ye Ning’s heart skipped a beat for no reason...
"I completely forgot, so you’ve been staying here for him this whole time!" In an instant, his tone changed, becoming particularly sharp, cold, and mocking.
