“This boy is usually quite long-winded. Why don’t you talk when you see Qingqing? How are you going to find yourself a wife?” Aunt Kong joked suggestively.

Ning Qing didn’t reply to that.

Yue Wanqing smiled. “Aunt Kong, Yangyang is such a nice boy. Why are you worried that he can’t get a wife? Young people spend time together and eventually grow fond of each other. Qingqing, am I right?” She pulled Ning Qing’s hand.

Her mother didn’t know that she was engaged with Xu Junxi. Three years ago, when her father Ning Zhenguo decided on that, he didn’t discuss it with her mother. Ning Qing didn’t reveal it to her mother. She thought it would be better for Mother that way. Ignorance is bliss.

“Mom…” Ning Qing responded in a spoilt way, playing along with Yue Wanqing.

Yue Wanqing and Aunt Kong exchanged a glance and thought it worked.

After having half a bowl of porridge, Yue Wanqing suddenly recalled, “Qingqing, tomorrow’s your grandma’s birthday. She dotes on you the most. Order your grandma’s favorite strawberry cake from f.o.o.k Kee and send it over. Wish your grandma a happy birthday.”

Ning Qing was stunned. She really didn’t feel like going.

Yue Wanqing touched Ning Qing’s head. “Qingqing, no matter how your father and I ended, you are still his daughter. This cannot ever be changed.”

Ning Qing smiled coldly in her heart. Did Ning Zhenguo treat her like his daughter?

Three years ago, he abandoned his wife and daughter and kicked them out of the house. When she had trouble with her tuition fees, Ning Zhenguo didn’t offer a penny. When her mother was sick, he didn’t even bother. His t.i.tle of “father” was purely superficial.

Ning Qing softened when she thought about her grandma. Her grandma doted on her the most. When she was young, her grandma always carried her and she didn’t want her to fall down. Her grandma always smiled and said, “Our baby Qingqing in the Ning family is the best, the most beautiful…”

Ning Qing nodded. “Alright, I’ll head over to Ning’s house tomorrow.”
