Chapter 195 Ning Family Dinner
Chapter 195 Ning Family Dinner
The first episode ended abruptly here, and many viewers complained that they were not satisfied, but there was nothing they could do but wait patiently for the second episode next week.
"Okay, it's time to go to bed after watching TV. It's already a little late today." As he said that, Pei Yuhan wanted to hug Haohao. The child was very heavy now, and he was afraid that Ning Xingluo could not hold him.
Ning Xingluo held him down: "Shh—he's already asleep."
Pei Yuhan looked down and saw that Haohao had fallen asleep on Ning Xingluo's legs without him noticing.
He immediately slowed down his movements, gently picked up Haohao, changed his position and rested his head on his shoulder.
"Hiss--" Ning Xingluo moved her stiff legs. She didn't notice when Haohao fell asleep, and now her legs were numb.
Only after sending Haohao back to his room and closing the door did Pei Yuhan dare to speak in a normal voice.
"It seems that Uncle Pei and I's worries are unnecessary."
Ning Xingluo smiled, thinking of what Uncle Pei had told her: "That's right! Don't say that this show is nothing. I don't think Haohao would fall in love prematurely. How could he understand these things? I heard that he even fought with little girls in school."
When Ning Xingluo said this, Pei Yuhan's eyes fell on her and he couldn't move away.
She didn't know that every time she talked about Haohao, she looked sparkling. Anyone could feel that her love for Haohao came from the heart.
Pei Yuhan often wondered how he could marry such a woman. She was kind, brave, and capable. She was always full of love even for a child who was not related to him.
But he had never said these words to Ning Xingluo. There was no need.
He held Ning Xingluo's hand tightly. When Ning Xingluo raised her head, she ran into his burning gaze and her face turned red all of a sudden: "What are you doing? The child just fell asleep."
"We have to wait until he falls asleep before we can do our work."
Pei Yuhan looked righteous, but his actions definitely did not suggest so.
They are really an old couple, and this man is not hiding anything now! Ning Xingluo, who was suddenly attacked and carried into the room by Pei Yuhan, thought to herself.
————————————————————
Before the second episode was broadcast, Ning Xingluo took the time to do something important, which was to attend the banquet specially prepared for her by the Ning family.
At Ning Xingluo's request, the banquet declined the participation of major media and tried to keep a low profile. However, no matter how low-key it was, it was impossible for no news to leak out.
Not only Hai City, but also surrounding cities and even some foreign families that have in-depth cooperation with the Ning family were invited to participate in this banquet.
On the same day, many people posted pictures on social media, which led to speculation among netizens.
With so many business leaders gathered together, what big thing is going to happen?
……
Ning Xingluo was particularly nervous before the banquet began.
After all, she is not quite used to such occasions.
It took her a long time to gradually adapt to accompanying Pei Yuhan to various banquets.
But at that time she was just an insignificant escort, and no one would talk to her specifically. She only had to stand beside Pei Yuhan, give a decent smile, and go to the buffet area to eat after the people left.
But today is different, today she is the protagonist of the whole banquet.
What if she said something wrong? What if someone asked her about her background?
She was so anxious that others couldn't bear to watch her.
Ning Xingyi and Ning Xingyu surrounded Ning Xingluo on the left and right to calm her down: "Okay, relax. In our Ning family's place, who dares to embarrass our Ning family's jewel in the crown?"
"That's right. When someone comes to talk to you, you can respond if you want to. If you don't want to, ignore them. Don't worry about politeness or etiquette. The most important thing is to be happy."
"If anything goes wrong, your elder brother, second brother and mother will take care of it!"
Everyone was surrounding Ning Xingluo, so no one noticed that Haohao was behaving a little unusually.
Haohao was too young to understand those complicated things. He only heard his father say that his mother was going to return to the Ning family. He didn't understand anything else, such as her life experience, the orphanage, revenge, stealing children...
So he could only ask his kindergarten classmates for help.
Just the day before the banquet, Haohao was absent-minded during school and kept thinking about this matter. When the other children were playing together, he told his friends about this matter.
The parents of the little girl who had fought with Haohao were divorced. When she heard that Haohao's mother was going to live with someone else, her first reaction was: "Haha, your mother doesn't want you anymore, right?"
Haohao retorted angrily: "How is that possible? My mother loves me the most. She loves me more than my father. There is absolutely no way she would not want me!"
The little girl didn't understand: "Your mother is going to live with someone else, just like my mother. Will she take you with her?"
In her opinion, a mother who left would not want a child. Just like him. Her mother never came back to see her after the divorce.
Haohao was a little uncertain after her question and hesitated.
Another little girl said, "Then ask your mother."
Haohao thought about it and nodded solemnly.
……
Ning Xingyi and Ning Xingyu comforted Ning Xingluo and went out to get busy. They were in charge of this banquet, and there were still many details they needed to check one last time, otherwise if anything went wrong, Ning Jiaojiao would not let them go.
Ning Xingluo and Haohao were the only ones left in the lounge.
Finally, Ning Xingluo discovered that something was wrong with Haohao.
She sat next to him and pinched his face: "What's wrong? You look so unhappy."
Haohao asked worriedly, "Mom, if you divorce Dad, will you go with me or him?"
Ning Xingluo: "Why are you asking this suddenly? Of course... Hmm? What did you say?" She paused, looking confused.
What did Haohao say? Did she hear it wrong?
Haohao repeated it seriously: "Mom, if you divorce Dad, will you go with me or him?"
Ning Xingluo: “…” Forget it, let’s not bother with the child.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was speechless about Haohao's train of thought: "This... why would you think of asking such a question?"
"The kids in kindergarten said their mom is moving to another family, which means she's getting divorced. They say divorced moms don't want kids. Mom, will you give up on me?"
As he spoke, Haohao was on the verge of tears. He couldn't help but imagine a dramatic separation from his mother in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. He held Ning Xingluo's arms tightly with both hands and refused to let go: "Mom, I want to go with you. Please don't...please don't leave me."
Ning Xingluo swore that she really didn't have a bad taste.
Haohao's pitiful look, with tears about to fall, was so adorable that she couldn't help but tease him: "Mom is taking you away, what about Dad?"
Haohao sniffed and said seriously: "Dad is already a strong adult, he doesn't need mom."
"Pfft——Hahahaha!" Ning Xingluo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
At this moment, a sinister voice sounded behind her: "Pei Xinghao - what are you talking about with your mother?!"
