Chapter 466



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 didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.

When he heard ning Qing and Gu Nanzheng’s movements, his heart ached, but he didn’t 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. someone’s looking for you? ”

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? ”

Nian lie’s dark eyes darted around. I’m 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 you’re 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 “food” 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.

“Our ning family’s place is small, I’m sorry.”

Nian lie’s face turned pale, but he forced a smile.

They didn’t 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. Don’t be busy. I’ll 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 didn’t look depressed, and didn’t say anything.

it’s Qingqing’s birthday today. I’m very happy that you’re here. It means that you’re all very concerned about her, ” said Mr. Ning.

“Today is a day worth being happy about, so whatever unhappy things you have to put aside first and take this opportunity to relax.”

“Come, let’s have a toast!”

Everyone smiled and clinked their glasses, drinking the first glass of wine of the night.

Mr. Ning smiled. don’t worry about it. Let’s eat.

“Hold on,” Mother ning suddenly said.

The few of them looked over.

The woman forced a smile and said, ” Qingqing’s father said something. As Qingqing’s mother, I should say something too.

Ning Qing smiled. please go ahead.

Mrs. Ning stood up and said in an unexpectedly serious tone, ” today is my precious daughter’s birthday. I’m 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 ning’s 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 weren’t for you, the ning family might have collapsed a long time ago.

Yan Sichen blushed with shame. aunt ning, you’re being too serious.

anyway, you’re a good child. Today, on behalf of the ning family, I thank you for everything you’ve 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 ning’s gentle gaze turned to him. Xiao Gu.
