"Ning Kong." Lian Jingyan stepped forward, her words filled with worry.
Shang Ning snapped out of his daze, a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead, and his body began to feel slightly chilly from the perspiration.
Lin Tingyu did not follow immediately. Her gaze towards Shang Ning was full of disgust. She had finally managed to arrange to go shopping with Aunt Lian. Why was this woman so persistent?
Shang Ning withdrew her hand from the table and adjusted her facial expression. "Auntie."
"What's wrong?" Lian Jingyan looked at her pale face and became even more worried.
"It's nothing, she probably got up in a hurry." Shang Ning said with a smile, her eyes glancing at Lin Tingyu who was approaching. Shang Ning's eyes darted around before she looked at Lian Jingyan again, "Auntie, are you out shopping?"
"Yes, it's almost the end of the year, and Grandpa Ning is coming back. I was thinking of buying him a massage chair. Do you have time? Let's go together."
"Auntie, Miss Ning must have something to do," Lin Tingyu said hurriedly.
Shang Ning glanced at the anxious Lin Tingyu and smiled slightly, "What am I, an unemployed bum, busy with? On the other hand, isn't Miss Lin busy at the end of the year? You still have time to go shopping?"
Lin Tingyu lowered her eyelids, concealing the disgust within.
"Does Miss Ning think being unemployed is something to be proud of?" Lin Tingyu's words were full of sarcasm, but she suppressed the intensity of the sarcasm because Lian Jingyan was present.
"I don't steal or rob; I earn my living through my own abilities. Whatever I do is honorable," Shang Ning said calmly, without arrogance or boasting.
Lian Jingyan looked at Shang Ning, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him. They hadn't had much contact in the past. She had invited Ning Kong to her home for dinner, but he had always refused, so she stopped bothering with it.
But things are very different now, especially after hearing what she just said. Even Jingyan enjoys talking to her now.
"If Tingyu Company is busy, you should go back first. Ning Kong can accompany me."
“Auntie, I…” Lin Tingyu wanted to say that President Jin asked me to come and keep you company, but Lian Jingyan had already beckoned Shang Ning to her side.
Shang Ning's eyes grew into long crescent moons because of her smile; they were curved and very beautiful.
Lin Tingyu watched Shang Ning leave with Lian Jingyan, biting her lower lip tightly and clenching her fists.
It's obvious that Lian Jingyan likes Ning Kong a lot now, but how can she not?
Lian Jingyan and Shang Ning went upstairs together. After asking a few simple questions, Lian Jingyan thought for a moment and then asked, "Has Yi Ning been in contact with you recently?"
She rarely interferes in her children's affairs, but as a mother, how could she not worry?
"He's probably busy. I talked to Teacher Qin about this yesterday, and he'll probably be back in a while. Besides, Teacher Jin is always very sensible, so Auntie doesn't need to worry."
“How could parents not worry?” Lian Jingyan sighed slightly and squeezed Shang Ning’s hand. “Yi Ning has been sensible since she was little, but she can also be willful at times.”
For example, hanging up on her all the time is definitely number one in terms of being willful!
“He can be quite infuriating when he’s being willful.” Lian Jingyan thought of her son, as if recalling something from the past, and unconsciously laughed. “But once he realizes he’s wrong, he’ll take the initiative to apologize.”
Shang Ning secretly glanced away, but he really didn't realize that the man had realized his mistake, and he even displayed his bad temper to the fullest extent by hanging up the phone.
"Teacher Jin is a very good person, a model of conduct among people." Shang Ning said with a smile. In front of someone's mother, you have to praise her son in order to win her favor.
Lian Jingyan chuckled softly and entered a store that specializes in massage chairs. "That's for outsiders."
Shang Ning: "..."
There seems to be another meaning behind those words.
