"No!" Sheng Ning almost hurt herself holding back laughter, but sternly shook her head, "I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t hear anything."
"Good! Young man, you have great prospects," Xu Xianxiong praised.
"Thank you, Dad. I’ll work hard in the future," Sheng Ning replied with a radiant smile, her sadness and reluctance fading away. She stood still, glanced at her grandfather who had just gotten out of the car, and then at her in-laws, feeling truly ’blessed.’
After her rebirth, she had experienced many things she wouldn’t even dare to dream about in her past life. In the future, she definitely would work even harder, in actions and character... She would doubly cherish her family and friends and be a better Sheng Ning.
"Ningning, take good care of yourself and quickly give me a big, chubby grandson," Zhao Lanzi, who was obsessed with the idea of a grandson, initially planned to take advantage of her son and daughter-in-law being home to speed up the process. Now that her son had left, the plan fell through, leaving her disappointed.
"Okay!" Sheng Ning nodded, "Mom, don’t worry."
Seeing that his mother and daughter-in-law were about to have an intimate chat, Xu Qigang quickly moved aside to greet Mr. Su.
"Ningning, Qigang has been introverted and rigid since he was a child. If it really doesn’t work out, you should take the initiative and have children first," Zhao Lanzi plotted personally for the sake of her grandson.
"..." Sheng Ning’s cheeks flushed crimson. Rigid like the Living Yama? Only ghosts knew how he tormented her in bed!
"Ah... It’s really hard to get a grandson with a son so honest," Zhao Lanzi sighed.
Sheng Ning forced a smile, wishing she could tell her that her son was not honest at all, really! He could totally have a grandson! She should really have faith in her son.
Really! She guaranteed it with her character.
"Wife, stop talking and come greet your uncle," Xu Xianxiong loudly interrupted.
"Okay!" Zhao Lan greeted, and walked up to Mr. Su. The wise-looking Mr. Su observed the couple for about three seconds before nodding satisfactorily.
Though they were from the countryside, he could see that they were good-hearted people who got along well with Ningning and truly cherished their daughter-in-law. This put him at ease.
As soon as Mr. Su’s private car reached the county town, Su Hai arrived and quickly joined with Qin Yue, immediately rushing his group back to the Southern region. Su Hai had prepared a special train, and the station set up a separate passageway for them to board directly.
When Sheng Ning saw Su Hai, she instinctively hid behind Mr. Su, pretending not to see him the entire trip.
Mr. Su had been exhausted these past few days, still pushing himself. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the train.
The private train was spacious, with Sheng Ning in her own compartment. While it was still light, she took a book and sat by the window to read. Although she called it reading, she hardly turned a page for a long time.
She was supposed to feel at ease, but she couldn’t shake a feeling of unease. She wondered where he was, if it was dangerous, could he be hurt? The more she thought, the more scared she became, so to stop herself from overthinking, she decided to keep herself busier.
She had submitted her novel "Phoenix" to a magazine before her injury but hadn’t received a response, likely overwhelmed by the multitude of submissions.
The submission had failed, but she didn’t plan on giving up.
Sheng Ning pulled out her notebook from her bag and continued writing her "Phoenix" novel.
"Is that the ’Phoenix’ novel?" A deep voice came from above. Sheng Ning quickly covered her manuscript and looked up angrily at Su Hai, "How did you get here? You walk without making a sound?"
