The two were chatting and laughing in the room when Aunt Si suddenly called out again, "Niannian, Ningning, Hong Ling is here."
Hearing this, the smile on Qin An Ning's face froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal and walked out with Si Nian.
When Wei Hongling saw Qin Anning, her expression became somewhat unnatural. She pulled the corners of her mouth hard and asked stiffly, "Ningning, when did you come?"
Qin Anning seemed unaware of Wei Hongling's anomaly and continued to smile as she replied, "I just arrived a while ago too. I haven't seen you in a while. The last time I came over, Aunt Wei said you were on a business trip."
"Oh, my mother mentioned this to me. It was indeed unfortunate last time." Wei Hongling responded dryly.
Looking at the slightly awkward atmosphere in front of her, Si Nian couldn't help but frown. While looking at Qin An Ning and Wei Hongling, she muttered to herself that there seemed to be something wrong between the two of them, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
In order to break the deadlock, Si Nian took the initiative to suggest, "Why don't the three of us go out and play!" After that, she turned around and said hello to her mother.
"Okay, go ahead." Aunt Si nodded, then instructed Qin An Ning, "Ning Ning, come back with Nian Nian for dinner tonight."
"Thank you, Aunt Si, but it may not be possible today. Lu Cheng just drank too much and is still sleeping at Uncle Zhou's house. I won't have dinner here tonight." Qin An Ning smiled apologetically.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Si didn't say anything else. She just took out two dollars from her pocket and gave them to Si Nian, asking her to take the two of them to buy some delicious food.
After going downstairs, Qin An Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Aunt Si actually still treats us like children and even gives us pocket money to buy candy."
Si Nian's mouth twitched, and then he snorted, "Do you want to eat it?"
"Of course I have to eat it, Nian Nian, I want to eat the ear-shaped fried cake."
Qin An Ning immediately became flattering, gently kneading her shoulders and saying in a sweet voice, "Our smart, beautiful, playful and adorable little Si Nian, can we move to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Hey, can you be a little more normal?" Si Nian shuddered, crossed his arms and rubbed them, with a look of disgust on his face.
"Hahaha... let's go!" Qin An Ning pulled Si Nian forward.
At this moment, they couldn't help but recall their childhood.
At that time, as long as their parents gave them a dime in pocket money, they would happily run to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy candy, with laughter all the way.
Now that I have grown up, my state of mind is different, and that simple happiness is gone forever.
On the way, Wei Hongling seemed particularly quiet and she hardly spoke.
Most of the time, Si Nian and Qin An Ning were talking, and she simply responded.
This change made the atmosphere between the three people a little subtle.
Si Nian frowned and asked cautiously, "Hong Ling, did something happen to you?
There are only three of us here, no outsiders. If you have any problems, just tell us directly. Ningning and I will definitely help you if we can."
Qin An Ning also nodded. She actually guessed why, but she couldn't say it out loud.
Wei Hongling stopped and looked at the two of them. She bit her lips lightly, as if she was struggling and hesitating inside.
After a long silence, she finally mustered up the courage to speak, "If I get together with Sui Chengyu, will you look down on me?"
Her gaze lingered on Qin An Ning's face, revealing a complex emotion, including uneasiness, sadness, resentment, and an indescribable...jealousy.
Qin An Ning felt a little uncomfortable, not because of anything else, but because she had made it clear a long time ago that she had no feelings for Sui Chengyu.
What's more, she is married.
Wei Hongling's probing behavior made her feel helpless, and she even felt that their friendship of more than ten years had become so absurd and ridiculous.
And her jealousy was totally unreasonable.
Stopping Si Nian who was about to speak, Qin An Ning spoke first, "Hong Ling, we are all adults and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Your being with Sui Chengyu is a personal emotional choice and you have not done anything harmful to others. We have no reason to look down on you.
As a friend, I just want to tell you that you are the only one who knows the most about your relationship. We respect your choice and wish you happiness.
Wei Hongling's eyes felt hot, and she quickly lowered her head, mumbling, "Ningning, I... I'm sorry."
She liked Sui Chengyu so much, but Sui Chengyu only had Ningning in his eyes and heart, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.
She knew her emotions were wrong, but she just couldn't control herself.
Qin Anning smiled and said nothing. "What have you done to me? Let's go. Today is a holiday. Don't let the supply and marketing cooperative close early."
But they came at an unfortunate time, as the ear-eye fried cakes were sold out.
Finally, Si Nian bought three bottles of orange soda, and the three of them drank them under the big tree in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. After they were done, they could just return the soda bottles.
What was even more unfortunate was that Sui Chengyu also came to the supply and marketing cooperative. He didn't know what to buy, but when he saw the three people under the tree, he turned around and walked over.
Wei Hongling first glanced at Qin An Ning, then stared straight at Sui Chengyu. She subconsciously clenched the soda bottle in her hand and didn't take a sip.
"Ningning, when did you come back?"
Sui Chengyu walked under the tree with a smile on his face and asked softly, but deep in his eyes was a deep emotion that could not be concealed.
"I came this morning. It happened to be a holiday during the festival, so I came with Lu Cheng to visit Uncle Zhou and the others."
When Sui Chengyu heard Qin An Ning mention Lu Cheng, his eyes dimmed instantly, and he couldn't help but feel jealous of the man who had Qin An Ning.
