The two of them were stunned as soon as they finished speaking.
The atmosphere inside the room suddenly changed, from being extremely tense at the beginning to becoming ambiguous and inexplicable.
Sheng Xuan blushed, too embarrassed to know where to look.
Suddenly, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Wait a minute," Ning Lang called out to him.
He didn't turn around, but just straightened his back, and his back looked rather disheveled.
Ning Lang tiptoed forward, taking small steps, until she came to his side.
The night was quiet, with only the soft breathing of the two of them.
His breathing was a little unsteady, perhaps due to nervousness and helplessness, and he swallowed saliva again and again.
In this tranquil and enchanting night, it seemed abrupt and awkward.
She quietly followed him, looking at the back of his head.
Is it really that hard to speak your mind?
Sheng Xuan didn't turn around, grumbling in dissatisfaction, "I—didn't I already say that?"
He's already admitted it, said it himself, so what else does she want from him?
Ning Lang sighed almost imperceptibly and said in a low voice, "You asked why you kissed me, but you didn't answer the real reason at all."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her seemed to shudder.
Then, he quickly added, "You definitely know!"
After saying that, he quickly opened the door and slipped away.
Ning Lang watched his retreating figure as he fled in disarray, smiled wistfully, sighed softly, and slowly closed the door.
The night was cold and desolate, carrying the chill of a winter night, enveloping her completely.
She shivered, quickly walked back, and hid under the covers.
As night deepened, she found herself wide awake.
Suddenly, a lyric popped into my head.
—If you fall in love with someone you shouldn't, don't let yourself grieve for them anymore...
She sighed softly.
Her slender, fair hand touched her lower abdomen; the smooth, rounded surface and the warmth of the touch put her at ease, and her mood gradually returned to calm.
Enough, why should she insist that he must say it?
At this point, the person she wanted most was no longer him.
With the future uncertain and direction unknown, if he spoke up, she might find it even harder to be ruthless.
...
The Ning family members all go to bed early and get up early. Even on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone got up early to exercise or do chores. No one slacked off.
Only two people overslept—Sheng Xuan and Ning Lang.
The old man led his grandsons in practicing Tai Chi, and said kindly, "Ah Lang didn't look well last night, and he got up so late this morning. He might be sick."
Ning Qi stood on one leg and said, "Last night, A-Lang said she hasn't been feeling well lately, and her complexion is terrible. I guess she's exhausted from being busy with business at the end of the year."
The old man said gently, "Is Shan's wife awake? Let her take Alang's pulse and prescribe some medicine for him to take."
Ning Qi quickly agreed and turned to find someone.
Unexpectedly, Ning Lang declined.
"Sister Shan, I'm fine. I was busy with the year-end accounting for a few days and stayed up late, so I didn't have time to adjust my diet, which is why I looked so pale. You see, I'm much better today."
Shan Jueshan looked her over carefully and said gently, "You're a little better, but still not as good as usual. Money can be earned slowly, but health is the most important thing. How about I make you a meal plan, and you can adjust the diet according to your condition?"
"Going to the doctor on the first day of the Lunar New Year? That's no good!" Ning Lang said with a grin, "I'll go wish Grandpa and the others a Happy New Year first, see you later!"
After speaking, she quickly left.
Dan Jueshan watched her retreating figure, raising an eyebrow in confusion.
Just now... could it be that she saw it wrong?
As Alang's coat fluttered, his lower abdomen seemed to bulge slightly.
