Chapter 942

Consummate

Soon it was dinner time and the servants began bringing out dinner. Everyone gathered to begin their meal.

Yang Gongming seemed to enjoy Cai Ning’s presence, clinking his glass of wine with her.

“Ning Er, I heard about you being court-martialed for protecting Yang Chen but I won’t pry any further tonight. But, let me give you a toast to your hard work,” Yang Gongming said earnestly.

Lin Ruoxi wasn’t surprised since she had heard it from Yang Chen. Still, it didn’t mean hearing it a second time was any better.

However, it was Guo Xuehua’s first time hearing this. She asked out of concern, “When did this happen? Yang Chen, why didn’t you tell me?”

Jiang Shan finally found an opportunity to interject. Her eyes reddened and teared up a little.

“Xuehua, you didn’t know this. When Son-in-law got into a feud with the Zeng clan, Ning Er killed Zeng Mao for him. I almost fainted when I got the news!”

Guo Xuehua was touched and she smiled at Cai Ning. “Let me toast to your sacrifice as his mother.”

Cai Ning felt slightly awkward about it but she still clinked glasses with her.

“Ning Er, don’t do silly things like this anymore. It’s impossible for anyone to hurt him anyways.” Guo Xuehua consoled her.

Yang Chen and Cai Ning glanced at each other. Time passed too quickly. It felt like everything had happened yesterday.

Lin Ruoxi listened quietly at the side. It was hard to hear it for the second time but she wasn’t jealous. It was the truth.

Yang Gongming chuckled and asked, “Ning Er, I’m aware that you have a younger sister?”

“Yeah, her name is Cai Yan. She’s in Zhonghai working as a police chief.” Cai Ning smiled, she felt more relaxed, talking about her sister.

Yang Gongming nodded in understanding. “I welcome you and Yanyan to come and visit next time. I’m quite lonely here and I’m glad to see you guys more often since you two are…close with Yang Chen.”

His intent was quite obvious to the people in the pavilion. He basically stated that he had accepted both the Cai sisters into his house.

Yang Chen was surprised at first but he grinned afterwards. “I knew it, you were jealous.”

“I…I’m not!”

Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth. She had accidentally let her mouth run loose. She picked up her clothes and ran into the bathroom.

Yang Chen teased her. “Remember to wash yourself clean, I don’t want to smell anything sour in bed!”

Lin Ruoxi slammed the door on him and started to grumble.

A couple of seconds later, Yang Chen could hear the water running in the bathroom.
