Early morning.

Sunlight floods the room.

Ye Ningbai looked for suitable clothes in the closet, put the clothes next to the bed after picking them out, approached them, and softly told Gong Ruixuan to get up.

"Xuanxuan, I'm going to eat at Grandpa's place today, and you'll be late if you don't get up." Ye Ningbai pushed the little man who was still going, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning last night that the child fell asleep with peace of mind.

"Hmm......" The light blue quilt flipped over, Gong Ruixuan snorted lazily, rubbed his eyes, and slowly opened them. Seeing that it was Ye Ningbai, he immediately sat up, his black hair messed up into a chicken nest.

"Hurry up and change clothes, we have to hurry up and go to grandpa's house." Ye Ningbai put the matching clothes on the bed, and when she mentioned her grandfather's house, her face was obviously dark.

"Ye Ningbai, don't you want to go to grandpa's house?" Gong Ruixuan observed his words and asked sensitively. "No, I'll be waiting for you in the living room." Ye Ningbai pretended to smile at him indifferently, walked out of the room and brought the door.

After cleaning up and going downstairs, Ye Ningbai and Gong Ruixuan got into the car sent by the palace father and went to the palace mansion.

The car turned into the black openwork gate, and the huge palace villa came into view. Ye Ningbai's heart tightened inexplicably, this place, the people here, made her have too many bad memories.

After getting out of the car, Gong Ruixuan held Ye Ningbai's hand tightly and walked up the white stone steps.

In front of the villa, a familiar figure stood there, and when he got closer, he saw that it was the palace father, and Ye Ningbai was deeply surprised.

"It's hard to get on the road, come in." It was the first time that the palace father, who had always been majestic, was so enthusiastic about her, and Ye Ningbai felt uncomfortable.

The atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

Ye Ningbai lowered his head and reminded Gong Ruixuan, "Xuanxuan, call someone." ”

"Grandpa." Gong Ruixuan obediently opened his mouth and called Gong Father.

The palace father smiled happily, "Come in and take a look, grandpa has prepared a lot of toys for you." Walking into the living room, Ye Ningbai's eyes touched the person sitting on the sofa, and the person also happened to raise his head, and the two lines of sight met in the air.

"Uncle Gong said that the guest turned out to be you." Ding Ning was dressed up delicately and movingly, exuding the light of a star everywhere, and straightened up with a smile.

Ye Ningbai pursed her lips perfunctorily and smiled, but as soon as Gong Ruixuan next to her saw Ding Ning's face, she frantically broke free of Ye Ningbai's hand.

"I don't want to see her! Bad aunt! Gong Ruixuan shouted irritably, and then the palace father who came in asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xuanxuan, you listen to Ye Ningbai patiently, there is no bad aunt." Ye Ningbai took Gong Ruixuan's hand and explained.

"Don't listen! You liar! This bad aunt has come to grandpa's house to rob her father! Gong Ruixuan glared at Ding Ning angrily, his fist waving in the air.

Ding Ning was inexplicably glared at by him, what's the matter with this kid? A bad aunt called her?

"No one is coming to rob Dad, Auntie is just coming to Grandpa's house with us for dinner, understand?" Ye Ningbai anxiously continued to explain, grabbed Gong Ruixuan's hand, and held it tightly.

Once Gong Ruixuan's mania attacks, the whole person is like an angry lion, and he can't listen to anyone's words.

Except for the leaves that are white.

Under Ye Ningbai's comfort, Gong Ruixuan slowly calmed down, let her hold her in his arms, and patted her back.

"You take the child upstairs to rest first." Father Gong walked up to her and said in a deep voice. Ye Ningbai held Gong Ruixuan's little hand and led him up to the second floor.

In the living room downstairs, Ding Ning was depressed by the scene just now, and the palace father sat on the sofa smoking a cigar. "Uncle Gong, what's going on?" Ding Ning sat down, turned around and looked at him with a slight frown.

"Childlike words, nothing." The palace father narrowed his eyes, as if smiling. It's nothing...... What is this called? Who is called a bad aunt can be regarded as nothing?

In the presence of the palace father, these words cannot be said.

She bit her lip and swallowed the words back.

Halfway through the cigar, Gong Father got up and went upstairs to see how Gong Ruixuan was doing.

In a room in the hallway on the second floor.

Ye Ningbai was sitting on a French velvet carpet, and Gong Ruixuan opposite was studying an assembly model, when he heard a knock on the door, the two of them looked at each other. got up and opened the door, and saw that it was the palace father, Ye Ningbai invited him in.

Father Gong held two remote-controlled cars in his hands, and his eyebrows and eyes smiled, "Eldest grandson, grandpa has also studied this remote-controlled racing car recently, do you want to compete with grandpa?" ”

Gong Ruixuan looked up curiously, and Gong's father sat on the carpet like a rejuvenation, fiddling with the racing car with his grandson.

Ye Ningbai suddenly felt a little redundant, and said lightly: "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anything I need help." ”

"There's a servant in the kitchen, so stay here." Gong's father turned his back to her, and Gong Ruixuan was playing racing happily, and said in a deep voice.

Ye Ningbai had no choice but to sit back on the sofa next to him silently.

The grandfather and grandson had a very good time, Ye Ning looked back at the palace father with a smile, and couldn't believe that this was the majestic and rigid palace family. I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door.

The servant pushed open the door and said respectfully, "Master, lunch is ready." ”

"Okay, let's go downstairs and eat." Father Gong put down the rocker in his hand and went downstairs with Ye Ningbai. On the long dining table, Gong Father sat in the main seat, Gong Ruixuan sat next to him and Ye Ningbai, opposite Ding Ning.

Lunch is a traditional Chinese home-cooked meal, but with the level of the Gong family's chefs, it is definitely not home-cooked.

"Xuanxuan, you Ye Ningbai said that you like to eat fish, grandpa specially ordered the kitchen to make it, try it." The palace father looked at his grandson fondly, smiling from ear to ear. Ye Ningbai sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in the bowl, and then put it into Gong Ruixuan's bowl after picking the thorns.

"Thank you, Ye Ningbai." Gong Ruixuan smiled sensibly.

"This kid is really sensible, but why don't you thank Grandpa for letting him prepare this big table of dishes?" The palace father asked Gong Ruixuan jealously.

"Thank you, grandpa." Gong Ruixuan said quickly and cleverly. The palace father laughed loudly and touched his head lovingly, "You little clever ghost. The three of them were harmonious, loving, talking and laughing, leaving Ding Ning aside, how to see how redundant.

"Rui Xuan, do you want a drink? Auntie pour it for you. Ding Ning picked up the freshly squeezed juice on the table and got up to pour him a drink, Gong Ruixuan lowered his face, "I don't drink drinks, Ye Ningbai said that drinking sweet is not good for your teeth." ”

Ding Ning's hand froze in mid-air, and his face was indescribably ugly.

"Yes, yes, Xuan Xuan is right, children can't drink drinks." The palace father made a round to ease the atmosphere.

She sat down slowly, setting the juice aside. Next, everyone lowered their heads to eat, and the palace father looked up at Ye Ningbai several times, and stopped talking.

"Ningbai, you take Xuanxuan to stay at home for two more days." The palace father suddenly spoke.

As soon as the words came out, Ye Ning's white eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, put the chopsticks in her mouth and bit them gently, and Ding Ning's eyes on the opposite side were locked tightly on her face, wanting to hear her response.

"It's still not necessary, I said okay, I'll take Xuan Xuan to live, and Xuan Xuan staying at home will cause unnecessary trouble." She politely refused, looked at Ding Ning, and continued: "Miss Ding is now a smash hit superstar, countless pairs of eyes are staring at her, and she can't tell if she is photographed by the paparazzi. ”

Hmph, she's empathetic. Father Gong didn't say anything more.

Ye Ningbai didn't do anything, and gave Gong Ruixuan vegetables. The corners of Ding Ning's mouth were slightly hooked, and his smile was obscure.

In the blink of an eye, in the afternoon, Gong Ruixuan was watching a movie in the screening room on the third floor accompanied by a maid, Ye Ningbai accompanied him for a while, and a servant walked into her ear and whispered a few words.

Ye Ningbai was surprised, turned his head to Gong Ruixuan and said, "I have something to go out for a few minutes, you stay here obediently." ”

"Okay." Gong Ruixuan obediently agreed.

Ye Ningbai got up and walked out of the screening room with the maid to the palace father's study, and the maid opened the door and invited her in. My breathing became tense, and my heart beat faster and faster.

Ye Ningbai walked into the palace father's study.

In front of the spacious desk, the palace father sat in a baroque blue chair, looking at it with a deep gaze.

"Sit." The palace father motioned for her to sit down.

Ye Ningbai's body tensed and sat opposite the palace father, trying to maintain a calm and asked, "You are looking for me, what is the matter?" ”

The palace father lowered his head and opened the second drawer on the right, took out a black satin box, and pushed it in front of her, "Open it and take a look." ”

Ye Ningbai opened the box, and a sapphire necklace was placed in the box, and the luster of the gemstone alone knew that it was worth a lot, not to mention the diamonds embedded in the surroundings, shining with luxurious and stunning light.

"What do you mean?" Ye Ningbai asked incomprehensibly.

"This necklace is the necklace of Qi Yu's grandfather and grandmother when they got married, and now, I will give it to you." The palace father looked at her clear eyes and said in a low voice.

"No, I can't ask for it, please take it back." Ye Ningbai closed the box and decisively pushed it back to the palace father.

"You can take it, this is what our palace family owes you." Father Gong's tone was unmistakable.

Owe? Because you owe her, you have to make up for it with this necklace?

"Since you mentioned the word debt, then I will also say what I want to say." Ye Ningbai's heart was unsettled, and the hand resting on his lap clenched, "At the beginning, I agreed to let Qi Yu and Ding Ning get married, but I was forced to do so. I have no choice, you have your considerations, you care about the family face of the Gong family, and you refuse to accept an ordinary person like me. ”

The palace father pursed his lips and listened to her continue without saying a word.

"I agreed. Pushing the man I like into the arms of another woman, no matter how sad I am, I can't say it. The corners of Ye Ningbai's lips trembled, her eyes became sour for no reason, and she restrained herself from letting tears fall out.

"Everything is fine now, and what you have done is definitely not something that can be compensated for with a necklace. That's it. Ye Ningbai straightened up calmly, nodded politely, and left the study under the guilty gaze of the palace father.

At sunset in the afternoon, the palace father asked the driver to take their mother and son back.

Sitting in the car, Gong Ruixuan blinked his eyes and asked, "Ye Ningbai, are you happy today?" ”

"I'm happy, of course I'm happy to be with you." Ye Ningbai smiled with difficulty, and his hand stroked his soft and smooth black hair.

"Can we come back then?" He didn't see the strangeness of Ye Ningbai's emotions, and asked innocently.

Ye Ningbai nodded, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future." ”
