Chapter 776
After the couple left, back at the Ning residence, the father and daughter finished their meals and sat down together again.
Ning Che was secretly startled when he saw Ning Qiwen's expression.
She had thought that only she would be upset about this, but she didn't expect Ning Qiwen to be upset as well.
When she looked at Ning Qiwen, Ning Qiwen was also looking at her.
Seeing how pale she looked, Ning Qiwen could only sigh: "Tell me, is it really worth ruining yourself like this for a man? Can't we talk things out properly?"
Ning Che pouted: "Dad, didn't you put me under house arrest? I can't even leave the courtyard, let alone talk to you nicely."
Ning Qiwen glared at Ning Che, who immediately lowered his head, his lips moving but not uttering a sound.
After a long silence, Ning Qiwen sighed heavily: "Even after being confined for these past few days, you still insist on having Wen Lang?"
Ning Che nodded.
She wanted him.
Ning Qiwen looked at her with a complicated expression.
He had always been curious. His daughter had never been very interested in music. Besides, there were so many great musicians in the capital. Why was Ning Che so interested in Ning Qiwen?
Ning Qiwen thought this through and asked the question directly.
Ning Che simply said, "Father, shouldn't we be together by now? If it weren't for the previous misunderstanding, we would definitely be engaged by now."
"During these few days of being confined, were you more interested in arguing with me, or in hearing about Lang?"
Ning Qiwen's question immediately stumped Ning Che.
Ning Che thought it over carefully. Over the past few days, it wasn't that he didn't want to hear about Lang, but it seemed that he really wanted to compete with Ning Qiwen more.
Seeing that Ning Che's arrogance had weakened, Ning Qiwen sighed again: "That day, I did say some harsh things, but Che'er, you have to believe me. I didn't mean to harm you, and I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. No matter how good the Wen family's child is, his status is what it is, and people will laugh at him if they talk about it."
"You've been on a hunger strike for him these past few days, but has his life changed in the slightest because of you?"
Ning Che remained silent.
Ning Qiwen said, "To be honest, I've listened to Wen Lang's music these past few days, and it's really good. It's quite remarkable that he has achieved so much at his age. But Che'er, if you're looking for someone to settle down with, you can't just look at his outward appearance."
You grew up in Luoyang City too, haven't you heard enough about the filth and corruption within those wealthy families? Some of them are wolves in sheep's clothing!
Ning Che frowned: "Father, Young Master Wen is really not that kind of person. I believe him."
Ning Qiwen sneered: "You believe him? Back then, you took the initiative to break off your engagement with him because of his concubines, but why don't you think about it? If they weren't always together and had such a close relationship, how could such rumors have spread?"
Even assuming this is a complete fabrication and the Wen family boy is entirely innocent, what will you do when he becomes your husband? Can you just stand by and watch him be intimate with other women? What difference would that make from taking a concubine?
Hearing his words, Ning Che fell completely silent.
Finally, Ning Qiwen told her to go back and think about it herself.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw that Madam Ning was waiting for her.
"Mother."
Ning Che forced a smile.
Madam Ning responded and took two steps forward to support her arm: "How did your talk with your father go?"
Ning Che's smile was somewhat forced: "...I think I still need to think about it carefully."
Madam Ning nodded: "Think about it slowly, think it over carefully, there's no rush."
Ning Che nodded and was escorted back to his own courtyard by Madam Ning.
However, the more you think about something, the easier it is to get stuck in a rut.
Ning Che felt increasingly distressed, so much so that even though she managed to eat a meal, she couldn't sleep all night.
