Chapter 32 Blind Date 6
Ning Yan continued, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, my husband and I wouldn't have had the chance to meet. My current happy life is all thanks to you. Just for that, we should have a drink together."
Ning Yan took two wine glasses and poured two glasses of wine herself, each glass containing at least one and a half ounces, and handed them to Qiu Ying.
Listening to Ning Yan's sarcastic remarks, Qiu Ying was uneasy. Before she knew it, a glass of wine was shoved into her hand. Ning Yan touched it with her, then held Qiu Ying's hand and brought the wine to her lips.
What else could Qiu Ying do? She naturally drank all the wine. Ning Yan also downed her drink in one gulp, then picked up the bottle and refilled Qiu Ying's glass, pouring one for herself as well. "Come on, this toast is to you two, wishing you a long and happy marriage." You two must stay together forever, and never go and ruin anyone else's life!
Seeing the wine being shoved to her lips again, Qiu Ying could only gulp it down.
Ning Yan drank again, "This time, I'm toasting to our past friendship. I'll drink it all, you can drink as you please."
What a joke! She practically poured the wine into Qiu Ying's mouth.
After drinking about half a jin of 53-proof liquor, Qiu Ying's cheeks only turned slightly red. Fu Jiaxing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Ning Yan glanced at the two of them, then said with a half-smile, "I thought my alcohol tolerance was good enough, but I didn't expect Yingying to be even better than me. I only drank half a jin and I was already a little dizzy, but Yingying has been toasting at several tables and has drunk at least two liang more than me, and she is completely fine. I really admire her."
Qiu Ying was afraid that Ning Yan would force her to drink again, so she pulled Fu Jiaxing to the next table to offer a toast.
Fu Jiaxing finally realized that when the two of them first got drunk and acted recklessly, he must have been drunk too much, but Qiu Ying only drank two cocktails, so how could she have been drunk?
Moreover, Ning Yan's words today were clearly loaded with meaning. He wanted to ask her directly, but he felt it was inappropriate to ask in the current situation, so he could only suppress his doubts.
After the two left, Ning Yan ate her meal in peace. It had cost her 1,500 yuan, and it would be a waste not to eat it all back.
Gao Yuhong wasn't a picky eater; he ate whatever was offered. Seeing his wife enjoying her meal so much, he had an even better appetite. Needless to say, the four bodyguards were even more eager to eat their fill, as they rarely got to attend such a feast.
On the way back to the hotel, Gao Yuhong asked her, "I think Fu Jiaxing's conditions aren't too bad. You really didn't like him back then?"
Ning Yan blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, her charming eyes seemingly hooked, which made Gao Yuhong pull her into his arms. Ning Yan leaned in and kissed him on the cheek before saying, "I have very high standards. I knew he wasn't an honest man after only two meetings. How could I possibly be interested in him?"
"And what about me? You only met me once and then took me home."
"Because I knew at first glance that you were the one I wanted to spend my life with."
Since I've made up my mind, of course I want to solidify the relationship right away.
Gao Yuhong was beaming with joy. The two of them were a match made in heaven; they were on the same page!
They stayed another night in the county, and the couple returned to the city the next day.
That evening, Ning Yan received a WeChat message from Fu Jiaxing.
She hadn't blocked him before, but she'd been waiting for this moment. Too lazy to waste words with that man, she sent him the recordings she'd made of Qiu Ying's attempts to sow discord and even belittle Fu Jiaxing, and then blocked him.
Compared to the disgusting things Qiu Ying did in her previous life, Ning Yan felt that what she had done could be called benevolent and righteous.
From now on, whatever happens to those two will be none of her business.
In the Fu family's new house.
Fu Jiaxing listened to the recordings on his phone repeatedly, his cold eyes fixed on the frosted glass of the bathroom, where he could vaguely see the figure of a woman.
Thinking back to the "drunken misbehavior" and Qiu Ying's actual alcohol tolerance, Fu Jiaxing let out a "ha". When he woke up that day and saw the naked Qiu Ying, he felt sorry for her. But he never expected that it was all her scheme!
Three months later, Ning Yan saw Qiu Ying's post on WeChat Moments. She was pregnant with twins, but even though the photos were photoshopped, her haggard appearance was still noticeable.
Even after all this, I really don't know why she still wants to show off in the group chat.
Well, she soon found out why.
Gao Yuhong took Ning Yan to Beijing for fun. The two found an old restaurant to enjoy the food, and then they received a call from Ning's mother.
"Yanyan, you've been married for so long, why isn't there any sign of pregnancy in your belly?"
Gao Yuhong held up a fragrant roasted lamb chop and held it to Ning Yan's mouth, gesturing for her to take a bite while it was hot. Ning Yan opened her mouth and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a wonderful aroma. Delicious!
"Why have children so early when we're still young?"
"What do you mean you're still young? Qiu Ying is the same age as you, but she got married later than you, and she's already pregnant with twins. Why aren't you in a hurry?"
Gao Yuhong then fed the soup to his wife, Ning Yan, who drank half of it in one gulp. After she finished, Gao Yuhong drank the rest of the soup.
"Why do you worry so much? Wouldn't it be better to take my dad on a trip and do some shopping instead?"
"Why do you think I'm worried? You're young, but Yu Hong is thirty-three. She'll have a child sooner or later. Why not have the child while she's still young?"
Gao Yuhong paused in handing over the shrimp. So, was he being rejected by his mother-in-law because he was too old?
Ning Yan: "Mom, my mother-in-law lives in Beijing and can't help me with my postpartum care. Will you come and help me take care of the baby?"
"Where would I find the time? If I went, your dad would starve! Yu Hong earns tens of thousands a month, why not just hire a nanny?"
Ning Yan: "Let me do the math for you. He earns 40,000 a month, pays 12,000 a month on the mortgage, 8,000 a month on the car loan, and his housekeeper earns 9,000 a month. There are also daily expenses of about 10,000. These days, a housekeeper who takes care of a new mother costs 10,000 to 20,000 a month. Do you think we can afford to hire one? Or are you planning to subsidize us?"
Ning's mother: "You brought 600,000 yuan back with you when you got married. That's enough for you to have a child."
"But I used that money to pay the remaining balance on my house, otherwise we would have to pay even more in mortgage payments!"
Ning's mother was quite taken aback, and finally blurted out, "Do whatever you want, I don't care anymore!"
Ning Yan scoffed inwardly, "Why are you rushing me when I'm taking care of the postpartum period and the baby?"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuhong said with a wronged look, "Wife, do you also think I'm too old?"
He was a full ten years older than Ning Yan, which was indeed a bit much.
Ning Yan cupped Gao Yuhong's face in her hands, examined her carefully several times, and then said with certainty, "You're not old, not at all. Your age is just right. You're mature, composed, and charming, which is my favorite type."
Don't listen to her; she doesn't even know what she's saying.
