Li's Castle.
"Why hasn't the young lady come back yet?"
Aunt Dong stood on the steps of the front garden and looked out from time to time. Shen Ning had gone out early in the morning and had not returned home yet. She was very worried about her.
After returning to the Li's Castle this time, for some reason, she became even more worried about Chen Ning. She had been here for several days, and she had hardly seen Li Zhenting. Although Li Wanqing was nice to Chen Ning, she always felt that something was wrong.
The smile on Shen Ning's face became less and less, and his complexion was not looking good.
The north wind was howling outside. Aunt Dong looked outside. The street lights emitted a dim yellow light in the dark night. The asphalt road in the distance was empty and deserted. It seemed that she would not come back tonight.
She sighed and turned to walk into the living room. She was not familiar with this house. If Shen Ning was here, she would be more comfortable. Now that Shen Ning was not coming home, she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Just as she turned around, suddenly, a head shrank back from the edge of the curtain in the living room. She was startled and hurriedly took a few steps into the living room. When she looked up, she saw a figure walking up the stairs.
"Xiaofeng." She called out.
Xiaofeng turned around, looking a little nervous, lowering her head, and asked, "Auntie Dong, is there something wrong?"
"Why aren't you going to bed so late?" She was sure that the head that had just slipped in must be Xiaofeng. It was so late, and she was not going to bed but was peeping at her here. What on earth was she trying to do?
"Auntie Dong, I have to work the night shift and can't sleep." Xiaofeng smiled.
"Since you're on night shift, what are you doing here instead of taking care of Coco and Master Ding Ding?" she asked seriously. "It's cold, remember to cover them with blankets so they don't freeze. Even though the floor heating is on, it's still several degrees below zero outside."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Xiao Feng nodded in agreement, then suddenly looked outside and asked with concern, "Will your wife be home tonight?"
"Why are you asking her? Just do your job well."
"Yes, but if my wife comes home, she will sleep with Xiaoxiao, so I don't have to take care of Xiaoxiao, so I asked." She answered in a low voice.
Aunt Dong thought what she said made sense, so she said, "You're on night duty, right? Be careful. If your wife isn't home, you have to look after Xiao Xiao. Don't let the child kick the quilt off."
"Okay, I will, Aunt Dong. I'll go upstairs first." Xiaofeng responded and turned to walk upstairs.
Aunt Dong looked at her figure and frowned. For some reason, she disliked Xiao Feng more and more. She always felt that there was an inexplicable evil aura about her, which made her very uncomfortable.
Zhu family villa.
"Ningning, what kind of red wine would you like to drink?" Zhu Qixiong opened the wine cabinet, stood in front of it, and asked with a smile.
"No, I don't drink." Shen Ning shook his head quickly.
"The weather is cold, drink some red wine to warm yourself up. Since you don't want to say, I'll just pick up a bottle." Zhu Qixiong picked up a bottle of French red wine and walked over to open the bottle.
"Mr. Zhu, I really can't drink." Shen Ning took the bottle of wine in his hand, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm three months pregnant."
Zhu Qixiong was stunned, and his hand holding the red wine loosened, and the bottle fell down. Fortunately, Shen Ning beside him reacted in time and held the red wine bottle with both hands.
"Then if you don't drink, I will." After a while, he pursed his lips, took the red wine from her hand, opened it, and poured himself a full glass.
"Ningning, eat some mutton, it's warming." He picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton for Shen Ning and put it in her bowl, then picked up the red wine glass and drank it all.
