Forehead?!
Ning Lang's face turned pale instantly. He glanced at Sheng Xuan, then quickly looked at the waiter.
"Not all nausea is due to pregnancy; I don't like the smell of fish."
Sheng Xuan blushed slightly and coughed awkwardly, "...She's fine."
The waiter quickly served all the dishes and then left.
Sheng Xuan ate the meat, while she cooked the vegetables. They ate separately, and neither of them spoke again.
The Ning family adheres to the good habit of "not speaking while eating or sleeping," and unless entertaining guests, they try not to speak while eating.
However, he had a gut feeling... that she seemed a little unhappy.
Just as we were finishing our meal, the waiter brought over a small plate of glutinous rice cakes. "Please enjoy."
Ning Lang ate only two pieces before putting down her chopsticks and elegantly wiping the corners of her mouth.
Sheng Xuan raised his handsome eyebrows and pushed the plate towards her with his large hand, "Eat a little more."
Ning Lang shook her head: "I'm full."
"No way!" Sheng Xuan said in a deep voice, "How can you be full with just that little bit of food? Eating sweets is better for you! Eat more!"
Ning Lang shook his head slightly, "No."
He raised his chin slightly, glared at her, and said, "Based on your usual appetite, you can still eat some more. Eat two more! Hurry up!"
Ning Lang smiled slightly and put the tissue down.
"How do you know how much I usually eat? Hmm?"
Sheng Xuan's eyes darted away, and she said irritably, "We used to eat together at school every day, it would be hard for me not to know!"
Ning Lang chuckled softly, picked up her chopsticks again, and slowly ate two more.
...
That night, Ning Lang tossed and turned for a while before finally closing her eyes and falling asleep.
On the other side of the city, Shengxuan was busy working on several monitors, navigating various complex red and green curves.
On a freezing night, the north howls with icy winds.
After dropping Lin Huier off at home, Jiang Lirong turned his car around and slowly drove towards his apartment in the city center.
Halfway there, he pressed the Bluetooth call button to connect.
A moment later, the call connected on the other end, accompanied by loud music and a woman's hip-hop laughter.
A slightly tipsy voice rang out lazily, "Cousin, I'm in a private room on the top floor of 'Nevernight City,' do you want to come and join the fun?"
Jiang Lirong chuckled: "No, you can have fun on your own. But tonight it can't be past midnight. I want to see the Ming family's vice president looking his best at tomorrow's auction."
Although Ming Haoyuan loves to have fun, he is not someone who doesn't know his limits.
"Received! Don't worry, I'll be there on time tomorrow!"
Jiang Lirong said gently, "Tomorrow's auction will definitely be full of celebrities. Since we want to compete for the best, we need to have enough confidence to fight for it. I have already made all the preparations, and we will act according to the situation."
"Alright!" Ming Haoyuan suddenly asked mysteriously, "Cousin, did you get to taste Lin Daiyu's flavor tonight?"
Jiang Lirong's gaze darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, "She's not my type, how could she possibly be my type?"
Ming Haoyuan chuckled and said, "Cousin, the world is so beautiful, why give up the whole forest for one tree! Enjoy life while you can, and have a good time while you're young!"
"No, I'm not as good as you." Jiang Lirong calmly turned the steering wheel. "I can't even reach a single tree."
Ming Haoyuan clicked his tongue twice and couldn't help but ask, "Just what kind of stunning beauty is Ning Lang? She can bewitch my cousin so much that he only wants to hang himself under her tree. If I have the chance, I really have to go and meet her to see if she has three heads and six arms."
