Chapter 466
Mr. Nian, Your Wife Refuses To Be The Substitute
?
466 The dismemberment of Nian lie (1)_1
Nian lie sat on the single-seater sofa, feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He didnât know where to put his hands and feet.
When he heard ning Qing and Gu Nanzhengâs movements, his heart ached, but he didnât dare to move.
The phone in his pocket vibrated. He carefully took it out and looked down.
It was Lu Zhui.
He was in a trance.
An hour ago, he had told Lu Zhui that he would return to the hospital after delivering the gift.
They returned to yunhuang No. 1, took their things, and rushed over without stopping.
Mr. Ning noticed that he was distracted. someoneâs looking for you? â
Nian Junting shook his head in shock. No.
After that, he hung up the phone, turned off the volume, and put it back in his pocket.
Mr. Ning picked up a cut apple from the plate and took a bite. you look much thinner than last time. Are you sick? ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nian lieâs dark eyes darted around. Iâm just busy with work these days.
Father ning nodded, not sure if he believed her or not.
no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat well and take care of yourself. If youâre sick, go to the hospital. Your health is your capital.
Nian lie nodded, enlightened.
The conversation ended there.
It was endless silence again.
Fortunately, not long after, the sound of âfoodâ came from the kitchen.
Gu nanzhi rushed into the kitchen first and helped to carry the dishes and bowls. Yan Sichen cleaned up the mess. Father ning took the broom from mother ning and put it aside. Ning Qing wiped the table clean.
Everyone was busy with their work, and only Nian lie stood by the side.
It was especially lonely and awkward.
He wanted to help, but he was pushed away by mother ning, who had a stern face.
âOur ning familyâs place is small, Iâm sorry.â
Nian lieâs face turned pale, but he forced a smile.
They didnât dare to go forward.
All the dishes were served, and the bowls and chopsticks were all set up. The whole family took their seats.
Mother ning called out to Yan Sichen, who was in the kitchen. Sichen, come out quickly. Donât be busy. Iâll clean up later.
Yan Sichen walked out, took off his apron, and adjusted his clothes before sitting down.
He took a look at the arrangement of the seats today. Father ning was at the head of the table, while mother ning and ning Qing sat on both sides. He and Gu nanzhi sat side by side with ning Qing, while mother ning and Nian lie sat next to each other.
He glanced at mother ning, who didnât look depressed, and didnât say anything.
itâs Qingqingâs birthday today. Iâm very happy that youâre here. It means that youâre all very concerned about her, â said Mr. Ning.
âToday is a day worth being happy about, so whatever unhappy things you have to put aside first and take this opportunity to relax.â
âCome, letâs have a toast!â
Everyone smiled and clinked their glasses, drinking the first glass of wine of the night.
Mr. Ning smiled. donât worry about it. Letâs eat.
âHold on,â Mother ning suddenly said.
The few of them looked over.
The woman forced a smile and said, â Qingqingâs father said something. As Qingqingâs mother, I should say something too.
Ning Qing smiled. please go ahead.
Mrs. Ning stood up and said in an unexpectedly serious tone, â today is my precious daughterâs birthday. Iâm here to wish my Qingqing a Happy 25th birthday. I hope that in the new year, you can overcome all obstacles and walk towards a better tomorrow.
Ning Qing was a little confused. She had rarely seen her mother like this.
She exchanged a look with father ning and stood up. thank you, mother. she smiled sweetly.
The two of them clinked their glasses and drank.
Ning Qing sat down, thinking that it was over.
However, mother ningâs gaze fell on Yan Sichen and she called him affectionately.
Yan Sichen understood and stood up.
Mother ning smiled gently and kindly. thank you, Sichen, for taking care of Qingqing and the ning family all these years. If it werenât for you, the ning family might have collapsed a long time ago.
Yan Sichen blushed with shame. aunt ning, youâre being too serious.
anyway, youâre a good child. Today, on behalf of the ning family, I thank you for everything youâve done for us all these years.
The wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.
Gu nanzhi was a little confused by this sudden change in table manners.
Mother ningâs gentle gaze turned to him. Xiao Gu.
