The corners of Ning Xi's mouth twitched, and she stared at him with a strange expression. She always felt that it was as if some kind of switch was turned on in him today, and he kept saying "I am her husband".
As if afraid that others don’t know.
Qin Yan looked calm, as if he didn't notice her strange look at all, nor did he think there was anything wrong with his behavior.
Of course, if the tip of his ear didn't turn red, his composure would be more convincing.
"Although it's possible, I don't think it's that simple." Ning Xi didn't delve into his strangeness any further and returned to the topic of Ning Lan's illness. "Although my aunt hasn't divorced, she definitely won't be upset just because Old Lady Zhao had a stroke."
Ning Xi knew the relationship between Ning Lan and Old Lady Zhao best. To put it bluntly, she had a stroke, and Ning Lan was too happy to even have time, so how could she be stimulated and have a disease?
On the contrary, Ning Xi was very concerned when she mentioned Zhao Kailin.
Maybe something really happened to Zhao Kailin?
Qin Yan also thought of this quickly, and his handsome face suddenly turned a little colder.
Ning Xi noticed his change and looked at him again: "What's wrong?"
"A few days ago, Zhao Kailin came to me again."
Qin Yan said coldly.
Ning Xi was surprised for a moment, but not too surprised. She curled her lips in a sneer, crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, glancing at him and said, "Why, am I calling you my sweetheart again?"
Qin Yan: “…”
The corner of his mouth twitched. Looking at her half-smile, his dark eyes blinked, and he suddenly leaned close to her face: "Are you jealous?"
"Go away, I didn't!" Ning Xi immediately turned her head away, but didn't notice the coquettish tone in her voice.
Qin Yan's eyes instantly flashed with a smile, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she was in a good mood, "Don't worry, your husband is not blind."
He came close to her, and deliberately lowered his voice. His voice was so magnetic and sweet that it almost made her ears pregnant. It was also like a hook, making her feel itchy and unbearable.
Ning Xi's heart naturally trembled in a cowardly manner, and her face even became a little hot.
Qin Yan saw this and felt even happier. A low, magnetic laugh spilled out from his lips again.
Ning Xi stared at him, absolutely certain that this guy was flirting with her!
ah! ! !
"Ahem, I left Zhao Kailin outside the city. She must have suffered a lot before coming back." Seeing that his wife was about to lose her temper, Qin Yan immediately became serious.
It was as if the person who had taken the initiative to flirt with others just now was not him.
"What's going on?"
Sure enough, Ning Xi's interest was immediately diverted and she didn't pursue his deliberate teasing any further.
Qin Yan briefly recounted what happened at that time, and then Ning Xi looked at him even more strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Qin, how many things are you hiding from me?"
It would be fine if there was just one old lady Zhao, but I didn’t expect there was also a Zhao Kailin.
She suddenly felt a little sympathy for the Zhao family.
No, it seemed like the Zhao family was dealt with by him because of her.
Suddenly, Ning Xi's mood became even more complicated.
It's a feeling that's a mixture of sympathy and a hint of sweetness. Well... it's hard to describe, but it feels inexplicably good.
However, Qin Yan became unconsciously nervous because of her words.
Looking into her clear eyes, he said, "If there are a lot, will you be angry?"
“Yes!”
Qin Yan: “…”
He frowned, and then he heard her say, "But I've been hiding a lot from you anyway, so let's even it out."
Qin Yan: “……?!!”
What are you hiding from me?
So, when Ning Xi didn't care at all, someone was tossing and turning because of this issue.
But then again, Ning Xi didn't think that this alone would irritate Ning Lan.
Thinking about Ning Lan's previous attitude towards her, Ning Xi was very suspicious. Zhao Kailin must have exaggerated something to make Ning Lan misunderstand her or Qin Yan.
However, she still couldn't contact Zhao Kailin, so she had no way of knowing these things.
Qin Yan thought the same, so after leaving the hospital, he asked his bodyguard to look for Zhao Kailin, but by evening, no one was found.
In the middle of the night, something big suddenly happened in the urban village.
A fire broke out suddenly in a residential building. The fire started silently and by the time it was discovered, the entire second floor was already on fire. When the firefighters put out the fire, they found a charred male body inside.
…
The next morning, Ning Lan woke up and although she was not ill, her attitude towards Ning Xi was still cold.
Ning Xi wanted to ask her about Zhao Kailin, but was afraid of irritating her, so she had to swallow the question.
After making her breakfast, he said, "Aunt, I'm going back for a bit. Shuo Shuo has to go to school today, and I'll take him there. But I've already found a caregiver. If you need anything later, just ask him to help you."
Today is September 1st, the day when Shuo Shuo officially starts kindergarten after transferring to another school. She had promised Shuo Shuo that she would send him to school, so she didn't want to break her promise.
Because Ning Lan had this attack and had some dangerous behavior, she contacted a nurse who specializes in caring for mental patients last night to look after her while she was away.
At this time, people have arrived.
Hearing this, Ning Lan, who was drinking the pumpkin porridge she bought, changed her expression. She put down the bowl in her hand heavily, looked at her and said, "Isn't Xiao Qin at home? Why not ask him to take me there? I don't need a nurse either. If you want to leave, just find Lin Lin for me."
"Today is Shuo Shuo's first day of school. I promised to take her there, and Qin Yan is not available either. As for Zhao Kailin, I called her, but she didn't answer."
"Why doesn't Linlin answer the phone? Did something happen to her?" When talking about her daughter, Ning Lan looked worried again.
"I have no idea."
"How could you not know? She is your cousin, can't you care about her a little more?" Ning Lan said again in a reproachful tone, her face still full of worry.
Ning Xi looked at her expression and thought for a moment before saying, "Aunt, did you remember something? Did Zhao Kailin tell you something?"
If that was the case, she would explain it to avoid further misunderstanding.
Ning Lan paused after hearing this, glanced at her, and her face turned cold again, "No, I'm her mother, shouldn't I be worried about her?
You're not her biological sister, so how could you worry about her?"
Ning Xi felt uncomfortable and helpless about Ning Lan's groundless accusation, as if everything she said now was wrong.
So, just keep silent.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ning Lan took a breath and said, "It's just going to school. Besides, Xiao Qin is your husband. Since he helps you raise the child, what's wrong with sending him? Could it be that you have a conflict with him and that's why you don't want to send him?"
Seeing that she was going back on her words, Ning Xi took a deep breath and said, "Aunt, Qin Yan and I are doing well and living a happy life. You don't have to worry about me.
But I promised Shuo Shuo that I would take him to school today, so I have to do it."
When Ning Lan heard Ning Xi say that she was living a happy life, she slowly circled her fingers and squeezed them tightly.
