Rong Zhaonan didn't answer her question. He just took a deep breath, straightened his chair, and asked calmly, "Who told you? Qin Hongxing?"
She just said that Qin Hongxing went to see her specifically.
Ning Yuan lowered her eyes: "Yes, she said it."
Although she could tell he was trying to control his temper, his handsome face was so gloomy it could drip water.
However, this was the first time he had lost his composure in front of her since their breakup.
Rong Zhaonan's face was expressionless, but his voice was still gentle: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to finish. You eat first, I'll go now. I'll bring food next time. Just tell me what you want to eat."
Ning Yuan picked up her chopsticks, placed a slice of meat in her bowl, and nodded, "Okay."
Rong Zhaonan picked up his coat and walked towards the door.
As they approached the door, Ning Yuan suddenly spoke up: "I believe you. You don't treat me like anyone else. Everyone has their own past. Even if you're husband and wife, there's no need to explain every little detail."
Rong Zhaonan stood at the door, paused slightly, but did not turn around to look at her.
Ning Yuan only took a bite of her food before continuing slowly, "However, someone has come up to me and is having a negative impact on me, so I'll ask one more question."
For example, she is a reincarnation, but this matter only has a positive impact on him at present, so it doesn't matter whether she talks about it or not.
Ning Yuan stopped talking, picked up a piece of perilla duck with her chopsticks, and focused on eating.
The pan-fried veal was clearly Tang Lao's doing. Grandma also made fried stinky tofu today, served with pickled radish and various pickled vegetables, which was quite delicious.
A cool breeze blew past the doorway, and the tall, slender figure had vanished without a trace.
Ning Yuan ate for a while, then frowned as she looked at the three dishes and soup.
Then, she got up, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, walked to the door, and raised her voice slightly towards the corridor: "Aheng, do you want to eat? This is enough for two people, I can't finish it."
"Whoosh—!"
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared out of nowhere and rushed excitedly in front of Ning Yuan, shouting, "Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat—!"
Ning Yuan was already used to it. While eating, she shook her head and walked back, saying, "Young man, don't be in such a hurry. Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? The food at the hotel is pretty good too."
Ah Heng entered the room and quickly picked up Rong Zhaonan's lunchbox: "The food at the hotel is bland and too sweet. It can't compare to what Grandpa and the others make!"
She started sweeping the dishes off the table: "Besides, when you're on a mission, there's no time for you to eat leisurely! Eating is more important than being an emperor!"
As soon as he took a bite of the fragrant perilla-scented braised duck, Ah Heng couldn't help but squint his eyes. Ah, Grandma Xia and Grandpa Tang's cooking skills are truly... amazing!
Ning Yuan found it somewhat amusing to look at Aheng's eager and contented expression as he ate.
She herself didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, but she couldn't help but pick up her bowl and continue eating: "That's right, eating is the most important thing!"
What does it have to do with her what she calls "white moonlight," "older sister," "Qin Hongxing," "Xiang family," or "Ye family"?
Some people have to handle their own affairs.
While stuffing food into his mouth, Ah Heng secretly glanced at Ning Yuan.
Huh? Xiao Ning doesn't seem angry?
This is a good thing; no storm broke out between Captain Brother and Xiao Ning! She also didn't get caught in the tail end of the typhoon!
But for some reason, Ah Heng still felt a little uneasy...
After all, when his team leader came, he told him that he wouldn't be going back to the school dormitory tonight and would be staying in a hotel. How come he suddenly left in just five minutes?
But seeing Ning Yuan chatting and laughing casually with him, discussing going to the construction site in the afternoon, it didn't seem like there was any conflict.
Aheng ate absentmindedly, and halfway through, he casually asked, "By the way, what did the captain and Xiaoning say about Sister Ye Qiu?"
Ning Yuan took a bite of stinky tofu and said casually, "He didn't say anything, he just asked me who told me, and then he left!"
Ah Heng's eyes darted around, trying to see what had been smashed in the room: "Oh... I think I heard something fall in the room just now?"
Did the two of them have a fight and throw things around? Does the captain know that she leaked the information?
Ning Yuan casually put down her chopsticks and bowl: "It's nothing, he just suddenly stood up and the chair tipped over."
She paused, looked at Aheng and smiled: "Don't worry, we didn't quarrel, I didn't betray you, I said it was Qin Hongxing who said it."
Ah Heng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling less uneasy: "Oh, that's good, that's good, let's eat!"
Watching Ah Heng happily eating, seemingly carefree, Ning Yuan smiled, her gaze drifting to the window, her expression indifferent.
After finishing his meal, Ah Heng, burping contentedly, happily decided to go out for a walk to digest.
"Burp—I'm so full, time for a stroll~~"
As soon as she stepped out the door, she suddenly spun around in a circle, then looked up at the sky and started walking back, her hands and feet moving in unison: "Oh well, the weather's not good, I'll go back to my room and sleep!"
Before I could take two steps, someone grabbed me by the back of my collar and pulled me back.
Ah Heng couldn't help but complain, "Old Xu, what are you doing!"
Old Xu said irritably, "Is the captain's food that delicious? Come with me!"
Looking at the cold figure of his captain sitting in a military jeep not far away, Ah Heng immediately became like a quail: "Okay... fine..."
...
Qin Hongxing was staying at the Peace Hotel, looking out at the Huangpu River while making a phone call, her face contorted with madness as she complained incessantly.
"...That country girl is really too much. What gives her the right to be so arrogant and lecture me..."
The person on the phone remained silent, listening listlessly to Qin Hongxing's various complaints and grumbles, secretly sneering.
When Qin Hongxing's father was still alive, she was spoiled as an only child and didn't have much of a brain. I just never expected that this woman would be so useless.
A young woman from a small town in the southwest, sent to the countryside, could lose her composure like this with just a few words. She doesn't seem like a child from a privileged family at all.
However, that female educated youth named Ning Yuan was quick-witted and quite cunning.
"...Hey, Xiang Laosan, are you even listening to me...what I'm saying?!"
Qin Hongxing on the other end of the phone seemed to notice his absent-mindedness and shouted angrily.
The man on the other end of the phone lazily replied, "I know..."
"Bang!" A loud noise suddenly came from the other end of the phone, followed by Qin Hongxing's scream: "Ah—woo!"
Then, the next moment, the phone was answered.
Rong Zhaonan's cold voice rang out from the other end of the phone: "Is it the eldest brother or the third brother?"
He narrowed his eyes at the third brother but didn't say anything.
His icy voice continued from the other end of the phone: "Looks like the lesson from last time wasn't enough? You're pretty bored, aren't you?"
Rong Zhaonan's voice was not loud, and even calm.
Xiang Lao San chuckled slowly, holding the phone: "Why are you so excited? It's damaging to your reputation. Do you really like that female educated youth that much?"
Rong Zhaonan asked calmly, "Do you two brothers think the Xiang family's situation isn't bad enough, and your old man isn't being sidelined enough?"
He paused at the third brother and sneered, "How fierce you are, Rong Zhaonan. Your flustered appearance is laughable. You didn't even dare to mention Ye Qiu's matter in front of your woman, did you?"
Rong Zhaonan's voice turned icy: "Shut up, there's nothing between them. Xiang Laosan, are you tired of living?!"
Xiang Laosan suddenly couldn't help but chuckle: "Hahaha... Rong Zhaonan, now you understand how I felt when I saw you push Xiao Si off the bridge?"
Rong Zhaonan's voice was tinged with a gloomy and violent tone: "How many times do we have to repeat this matter? If you don't believe I didn't do it, then there's no need to implicate innocent people."
Xiang Laosan sneered on the phone: "I didn't do anything to her. I just had that idiot Qin Hongxing tell your wife about your wonderful past. I never thought you would worry about other women besides Ye Qiu."
Rong Zhaonan coldly looked out the window at the Huangpu River and said into the phone, "You are not worthy to mention Ye Qiu's name."
Holding the phone, Xiang Laosan leaned on the gunwale, laughing as he watched the churning river: "Rong Zhaonan, you're married now, yet you still think so much about Ye Qiu. Tsk, does your wife know?"
