Chapter 229: Not an Outsider
"Grandpa." Ji Ning responded to the old man.
In the huge hall, only the voices of these two people spoke, so quiet that their voices echoed. Rao is like this, or no one dares to speak out.
The old man's old hand knocked on the table in front of him, making a gentle "knock" sound.
The juniors know such a voice, when they did something wrong when they were young, they wanted to hold a criticism meeting or praise someone, and the old man would knock on the table like this.
There are often criticism meetings, after all, in such a strict family, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be caught wrong. And the praise conference, there are so few years, even if there is, it is Ye Shaochen and Ye Shengxing.
So at this moment, everyone thought that Ji Ning was going to suffer, after all, her performance just now was incomprehensible.
The dishes on the table have been served one after another, and the servants have all withdrawn, and all the people present are from the Ye family.
I saw the old man's mouth move, and a vigorous and powerful voice sounded: "I behaved very well just now, grandpa likes it." Suddenly, the old man laughed.
It's the kind of laughter that comes from the heart, and the junior hasn't seen the old man smile like this for a long time.
For a while, everyone was stunned and didn't react, and when they savored this sentence, they realized it later, and the expression on their faces became even more exaggerated.
He looked at the old man incredulously, suspecting that he had misheard. But looking at the old man's admiring look, they knew that they had not heard it wrong.
The old man not only did not blame Ji Ning, but felt that Ji Ning's approach was very correct, and he also admired her very much. It's like the sun coming out in the west, and it's no wonder that everyone present thinks it's incredible.
Even Ji Ning was stunned for a moment. He pursed his lips and smiled at the old man before replying, "Grandpa likes it." ”
After speaking, she seemed to understand the meaning, and her smile became more obvious.
The old man nodded and said with appreciation: "Okay, our Ye family should be simply decisive, if we are soft-hearted in a little thing, we will not be able to achieve a big career." ”
Everyone gasped again, so it was.
The meal lasted nearly two hours, during which the old man didn't say much, and most of the time it was the eldest uncle and the second uncle who were conveying the old man's meaning. The juniors eat diligently, and they don't want to miss important news, which is why it's only so long.
After eating, the old man went back to his room to rest, and the rest of the people rested in the guest room or other places.
Ye Shaochen knew that Ye Shengxing and Ji Ning came over just now, so he didn't go far after eating, and stayed by Ji Ning's side.
Someone came over and wanted to say a few words to Ji Ning, but when they saw Ye Shaochen sitting next to Ji Ning like a big Buddha, they immediately dispelled this idea.
"Ning Ning, what did my cousin tell you just now?" Ye Shaochen was curious. After a pause, he reminded her again: "My cousin is uncertain, and you can't believe everything you say, so it's best to stay away from him in the future." ”
Ji Ning knew that Ye Shaochen was doing it for her own good, even if he didn't say it, she knew it herself. She nodded, leaned slightly sideways to adjust her posture, and naturally leaned on Ye Shaochen's shoulder after finding a comfortable position.
She read the information very late last night, and was woken up by the Ye family's phone call early, so she didn't sleep much. In addition, the spirit was relatively tense in the morning, and after relaxing at this time, sleepiness hit.
Ji Ning was so sleepy that she spoke very quietly, buzzing like a mosquito. She let out a soft "um" and said, "I didn't say anything, I just asked about something between us." ”
She herself forgot Ye Shengxing's words that made her angry, so she forgot to tell Ye Shaochen.
"That's good." Ye Shaochen gently raised his hand and hugged Ji Ning in his arms. The other hand reached over and straightened out all the hair that Ji Ning had fallen on his forehead.
Looking at Ji Ning's sleepy appearance, Ye Shaochen's heart suddenly softened, itchy, as if he was caressed by soft feathers, and he couldn't help but tremble.
After finishing her hair, she was reluctant to take it away, so she went down her hair little by little, touching Ji Ning's cheek.
Her skin is much better than that of her peers, and she has not deliberately taken care of it, but it is still smooth and delicate, like a freshly peeled egg. There was a slightly cool and soft touch from his fingertips, and Ye Shaochen's breath stagnated.
Ji Ning felt that someone touched her, snorted twice, lifted her eyes to look at Ye Shaochen, and smiled at the corner of her lips: "What do you want to do in public." ”
"I look at my wife, is there anything wrong?" Ye Shaochen looked calm and asked lightly.
Ji Ning choked, couldn't answer, and softly grabbed Ye Shaochen's hand and put it on his lap. He whispered in his ear, "Don't make trouble, the elders are watching." ”
Ye Shaochen let out a "hmm" and did not continue his actions just now. His chin was against the top of Ji Ning's head, but he didn't exert any force.
He asked, "Do you want to go back to your room and sleep for a while?" He could see that Ji Ning was really sleepy.
"No, you don't." Ji Ning shook his head. "Everybody's here, it's not good if we're gone," she said. ”
The juniors are resting in the lounge because they don't have a room. If Ye Shaochen leaves with her, it will be treated with special treatment and will cause everyone's dissatisfaction.
And if something happens, you have to rush back, and it's quite troublesome to come and go.
Ye Shaochen narrowed his eyes and did not agree with Ji Ning's statement. This is his home, he wants to go to the room to rest, why care about other people's opinions. If he cared so much about what people said, he wouldn't be where he is today.
He pulled Ji Ning to get up, ready to take her back to the room to rest. was pulled by Ji Ning, he frowned and looked at Ji Ning puzzled.
Ji Ning beckoned to Ye Shaochen: "You sit down, what are you doing in such a hurry." At this time, there was not much sleepiness in his voice, and I didn't know if he was awake or strong.
"I mean." After Ye Shaochen sat back beside him, Ji Ning continued: "I want to be with you. ”
"Huh?" Ye Shaochen was stunned for a moment.
Ji Ning wrapped his arms around Ye Shaochen's waist without a trace, put his hand on his back, gently rubbed through his clothes, touched his back, and suddenly stopped.
Feeling Ye Shaochen's stiffness for a moment, Ji Ning smiled. Licking his lips and mischievously drawing circles on his back with his fingertips. The movements are very light, if there is nothing, but it is the most seductive.
Her voice was even more fluttering: "I can lean on you here, get closer to you, so I don't want to go back to the room to rest." ”
When the words fell, Ye Shaochen felt that his throat was about to burst into flames. He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and there was a flickering flame in his eyes that dissipated after a while.
He grabbed Ji Ning's hand and pinched it punitively, but he didn't remove her hand.
In fact, he wanted to say that if he went back to the room, the two of them could be closer, and the negative distance would be fine. However, after seeing Ji Ningming's gaze, Ye Shaochen felt that his thoughts were too ashamed, so he didn't say it.
Ji Ning laughed twice, rubbed her eyes, and continued to lean on Ye Shaochen's shoulder: "Okay, now let me sleep well, and call me again if there is anything." ”
Ye Shaochen let out a "hmm", approached Ji Ning's ear, and said angrily: "Have a good rest." After saying that, he pretended to inadvertently squirt at her earlobe.
"Don't make a fuss." Ji Ning patted Ye Shaochen's hand. Crying and laughing, he said, "I really want to rest." ”
Ye Shaochen pursed his lips, then he snorted and stopped.
It's quite quiet around, and everyone who talks about things goes outside. Not long after, there were only three people left, Ye Shaochen and Ye Shengxing.
Ye Shaochen looked at Ye Shengxing, his eyes were facing each other, and the air was once again filled with the smell of gunsmoke. Ye Shengxing pushed his eyes, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he didn't make a sound.
It lasted for nearly an hour, during which time someone tried to come in, but was frightened by the aura around the two men, and left again.
In the end, several people came in together, and Ye Shengxing lowered his eyes and pretended to take a nap. Ye Shaochen didn't do anything, he lowered his head and hugged Ji Ning, as if nothing had happened to the two of them.
It was already ten in the afternoon, and everyone was waiting for the old man to speak before he could go home.
After waiting for a while, a servant finally came in. "Young masters, you can go back first, and the old lady will inform you of the specific matters at that time."
Hearing that they could go home, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying a few words, they were ready to leave one after another. Ye Shaochen woke up Ji Ning and signaled that she was going home.
Ji Ning looked at the flowing man with sleepy eyes, let go of his hand, and stretched. The voice was still nasal, and it sounded very lazy: "Do you want to go and talk to grandpa and go back?" ”
She thought that Ye Shaochen rarely went home once, and he didn't see his grandfather many times, so if he left without saying a word, his grandfather would feel uncomfortable.
Ye Shaochen's eyes sank, and he nodded: "Okay." ”
They were about to go to the old man, but they saw the servant come up to them and said, "Young lady, the old lady has something to say to you." ”
Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay." ”
After speaking, Ye Shaochen was about to follow, but was stopped by the servant: "Young master, the master only let the young lady go over alone, saying that he had something to talk to her alone." ”
Ye Shaochen, who was stopped, frowned, and was about to speak, but Ji Ning spoke first: "You are waiting for me outside, you are still afraid that grandpa will do something to me." ”
Her tone was half-joking, and it didn't make people uncomfortable to listen to. Everyone knows that the old man loves Ji Ning very much, and he will definitely not treat her badly.
Hearing this, Ye Shaochen bowed his head and watched Ji Ning leave.
Ji Ning followed the maid to the old man's study, and as soon as he entered, he was stunned by the solemn atmosphere inside. She didn't dare to make a big move, walked in decently, and shouted obediently: "Grandpa." ”
The large leather sofa slowly turned around, and the old man sitting on it looked a little tired. Seeing Ji Ning, he nodded: "Daughter-in-law Sun, you're here." ”
The voice is very kind, not like a sharp old man at the dinner table, but like an ordinary grandfather, amiable.
