Tao Nianlun burst out laughing.
Whenever he went on a long trip, his mother and grandmother were like facing a great enemy and wanted to give the whole house to him.
"Grandma, there's no need to bring so much—" Tao Nianlun opened the door helplessly, and froze in the middle of his words.
Tao Man also started to mutter.
But after a long time, he didn't hear anyone coming in. He turned around in confusion and saw Tao Nianlun's stiff back blocking the door tightly.
She asked, "Nian Lun, who's here? Isn't it grandma?"
Tao Nianlun's throat rolled.
The charming figure in front of him was particularly hot. She was wearing a turtleneck sweater, a short skirt, and a cashmere coat.
Her expression was also particularly lively, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak as she glared at Tao Nianlun.
Grow up.
But it wasn't much different from what he had imagined.
“Why not go to Canada?”
The girl started questioning as soon as she opened her mouth. Tao Man heard the noise and hurried over.
She was stunned for a while, and suddenly her pupils shrank.
"Ningning? You are Ningning?!"
Although the child has grown up, his face still shows his past appearance.
Tao Man covered his mouth.
It's true that girls change a lot when they grow up.
The Ningning in front of him combined the most perfect genes of Qin Zhiheng and Yu You. She was tall and beautiful... Even though she was showing anger now, her face did not look ferocious at all.
Seeing Tao Man coming out, Qin Jingning's expression eased a little and he greeted her obediently.
"Okay, okay, you've been abroad for so many years. Auntie has missed you so much. Come in quickly." Tao Man pushed her son. "Nianlun, why are you still standing there? Go make Ningning some sugar water."
"Thank you, Auntie, but I just arrived in Jing City and haven't been home yet."
Qin Jingning didn't move, and looked at Tao Nianlun meaningfully, "I just want to talk to him for something urgent."
Whether it was friendship or something else, Tao Man roughly knew that the two children had a deep affection for each other.
No one knows a son better than his mother. Tao Man saw through the struggle in Tao Nianlun's eyes at a glance.
Without waiting for Tao Nianlun to react, she pushed him out of the house.
"Oh, my family is packing his luggage, it's really messy. Nianlun, take Ningning out for a walk, find a coffee shop or something to sit in."
"Ningning, just ask whatever you want to ask. If he bullies you, come and tell your auntie!"
After saying this, without waiting for Tao Nianlun to react, Tao Man slammed the door shut.
Don't give him any way out at all.
Tao Nianlun pursed his lips.
The smile on Qin Jingning's face gradually disappeared. She was no longer as charming as before, but instead became an icy beauty.
She was quite hurt.
"You never replied to the letters I sent you, and you pretended not to see them even when I put them in my brother's envelope."
"We agreed that you would come to me when you got into university. Now that you have the chance, why are you running off to the US?"
"Don't be silent, don't think you can get away with it!"
Ningning was fed up with the silence.
She has always been thinking about someone. Because of the promise she made, she went overseas. But now, Tao Nianlun only wants to escape.
As soon as she received the letter, she rushed back.
Fortunately, they made it in time, otherwise if Tao Nianlun went to the United States again, the two of them would probably have broken off diplomatic relations.
A gloomy atmosphere filled the space between the two of them. After an unknown amount of time, Tao Nianlun suddenly spoke:
"Are you cold?"
"You must be hungry."
"I'll take you to eat."
Just these three sentences made Ningning almost cry out loud.
Finally, I am no longer dumb.
Tao Nianlun turned around silently, picked up Ningning's luggage and led the way.
There was a noodle shop not far away, and Tao Nianlun ordered a bowl of tomato and egg noodles for Ningning.
Ningning looked at Tao Nianlun cautiously, waiting for his reply.
Unexpectedly, Tao Nianlun just avoided the question and talked about something else.
"Are you doing well in Canada? Are you used to the food?"
"Why didn't An An come back?"
"The school system in Canada is different. You shouldn't have had your holiday yet. Did you skip classes to get out?"
Qin Jingning patiently answered his various questions until Tao Nianlun was left with no more questions to ask.
He let out a long sigh.
"I went to the United States because it suits me better."
"lie."
Qin Jingning interrupted him without any hesitation.
She put down her chopsticks and had already eaten most of the noodles in the bowl.
Tao Nianlun repeated it stubbornly.
"The United States is more suitable for me. I want to go there for further studies. I won't go anywhere else except the United States."
"Then I'll go to the United States too." Ningning said.
There was another silence.
Qin Jingning laughed at himself.
Without waiting for Tao Nianlun to say anything, she grabbed her suitcase and left angrily.
Ningning's sudden return home naturally made her family extremely happy. Cao Xiu even rushed home from other places and prepared a large table of dishes for her with Wang Yuerong in the kitchen.
Yu Weimin and Qin Wei surrounded Ningning on both sides.
"It's all your mom's fault. She insisted on sending you to study abroad. Grandpa must be missing you so much."
"Going out to study is a good thing. I don't blame Youyou, but Grandpa is going to criticize you and An'an. You can only come back during the Chinese New Year. You were absent last year, and your grandma was so worried."
Another round of caring and concern.
Xixi also lay on Ningning's lap and blinked her eyes hard.
Sister, you are so beautiful!
Seeing this, Qin Jingning couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face which still had baby fat.
Qin Zhiheng hadn't gotten off work yet, but Yu You, the real mother, was squeezed aside by them and had no time to come forward.
When the two of them were almost done with their fun, Yu You finally spoke up to remind them:
"Dad, Ningning must be tired after sitting on the plane for so long. Let her rest for a while. We need to eat later."
Yu Weimin and Qin Wei finally reacted and nodded repeatedly.
"Oh, I was so excited that I forgot about this. Ningning, go and have some rest."
"Your room is cleaned by the nanny every day. The quilt is in the cupboard, take it yourself."
"Ningning!"
Qin Jingning got up from the sofa, and Yu Rou and her family arrived.
Yueyue quickly stepped forward and hugged Ningning excitedly.
Ning Ning whispered, "Cousin, come with me to the room."
People of the same age have more to talk about, not to mention girls of similar age. Ningning is more willing to talk to Yueyue than to her elders or mother.
They grew up together and often exchanged letters, so their relationship was not estranged.
Yu Rou watched the two girls leave hand in hand, and pulled Yu You aside and whispered:
"What's wrong with Ningning? Didn't she get enough rest? I don't think she's in a good mood."
It's not just that I'm not in a good mood, I can even say that I'm forcing myself to smile.
Mostly because of Tao Nianlun.
Yu You knew it well, but he didn't show it on his face.
"The children have grown up and must be worried. If there is anything, she will definitely tell Yueyue."
"We're all adults, so it's normal to have some little secrets. As adults, it's better for us not to dig too deep."
"Girls, in particular, are more sensitive and delicate than boys. Caring too much about them is also a burden to them."
Yu Rou nodded repeatedly. After all, Yueyue and the others had always been by her side, and she truly felt the same way.
