Chapter 399: Chapter 398 Let’s Get Married (4)
Mrs. Gu, Liang Xuerou, listened and her brows relaxed, "Good, finally he’s back." Sitting beside her, Zhou Yalin pouted slightly, half agreeing, half acting coquettish, "It’s only because you called, Auntie, that he came back. Unlike me, I called him so many times, and he didn’t respond to any."
Liang Xuerou glanced at Zhou Yalin, her delicate face showing a hint of girlish annoyance, and couldn’t help but laugh, "What? Are you jealous of me too, Auntie?"
"Of course, Ning Yi only has you in his heart, Auntie, not his fiancée." Zhou Yalin said, pretending to be aggrieved, but her eyes were still bright.
These words amused Liang Xuerou so much that her laughter brought out the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. "You, girl, still have such a sweet tongue. But, don’t say these things to flatter me, go flatter your fiancé. The New Year is approaching, let’s see if I can drink your bride tea next year."
"Auntie!" Zhou Yalin blushed, calling out in a playful chide.
While talking, Gu Ningyi had already walked in with big strides, carrying a chill, with tiny white snowflakes clinging to him.
He walked to the sofa, sat down, and greeted Liang Xuerou, "Mom." Then his dark eyes swept towards Zhou Yalin, showing no surprise, and he said indifferently, "You’re here too."
"Hmm, I shamelessly came to get a meal."
Ever since Gu Ningyi was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yalin hadn’t seen him for quite a while. Whenever she called, it was either unanswered or ignored. Now seeing him, her dark eyes were almost staring at him in infatuation, without blinking.
Liang Xuerou responded softly, noticing the snowflakes on Gu Ningyi’s body, she said, "Is it snowing outside?"
"Yes."
Gu Ningyi replied, reaching out to casually brush off the snow from his clothes.
Liang Xuerou looked pained and quickly said, "Have a cup of hot tea to warm up."
As she spoke, she gave Zhou Yalin a knowing look, and Zhou Yalin immediately understood, standing up at once, she sat next to Gu Ningyi, poured the tea, and handed it to him with both hands, "Ning Yi, have some tea."
As she handed over the tea, her body involuntarily leaned towards Gu Ningyi, getting closer and closer.
As she approached, the faint scent of her perfume wafted over. Gu Ningyi was already a bit impatient, and now smelling the perfume, his eyes suddenly darkened, his brow furrowed, he raised his hand to block Zhou Yalin’s offered tea, his voice cold and indifferent, "No need." Then he said to Mrs. Gu, "Mom, I’m going upstairs to chat with Dad."
After saying that, he didn’t wait for Mrs. Gu to respond, stood up directly, and walked towards the second floor.
Zhou Yalin was completely dumbfounded, her eyes blankly following Gu Ningyi’s retreating figure upstairs, unable to believe how he suddenly became so cold again.
Mrs. Gu was also stunned for a moment, and after coming to her senses, she frowned lightly and said to Zhou Yalin, "Yalin, what’s going on with you and Ning Yi? Did you have another quarrel?"
"No, we were obviously very close!" Zhou Yalin instinctively retorted. At the hospital, her relationship with Ning Yi had clearly improved, they even almost kissed.
"Close?" Mrs. Gu asked back, clearly not convinced.
Zhou Yalin suddenly felt ashamed. She had been boasting about how her relationship with Gu Ningyi had improved and was nearing something good, but today she was embarrassed. Her face turned unsightly, and she felt wronged, "We really reconciled not long ago, I don’t know what’s wrong with him."
Mrs. Gu looked at her, annoyed at her incompetence, "If you don’t know what’s wrong, figure it out. Today, I intend to push your wedding plans again, if you don’t want to lose face, go and reconcile with your fiancé now!"
