When returning to the Ning family's old house, just halfway through the journey, Jing Jingxuan pretended to answer the phone and made an excuse: "Fourth brother, please stop on the side of the road for a while. My friend is coming to pick me up. I want to go out for a meal.
You and Sisi should go back first."
"good."
Ning Jingxuan left, and only Mei Weisi and Ning Chengxu were left in the car. The atmosphere was still a bit awkward.
During the snowball fight just now, when a group of people were fighting, Ning Chengxu stood in front of her to protect her several times, which made Mavis feel a little complicated.
The two of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was so dull that Ning Chengxu simply pressed the music play button.
After a few songs, Mavis had a surprised look in her eyes.
These......
Aren’t they all songs on her playlist?
When did Ning Chengxu have the same preferences as hers?
Although she had a lot to ask in her heart, she still didn't ask in such an atmosphere.
Anyway, she won't take the initiative if he doesn't take the initiative to speak.
In this way, the two of them returned to the old house in silence.
Entering the hall, Ning Chengqing was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
"Fourth brother, grandma is coming back soon, you know, right?"
"Um."
With a casual response, Ning Chengxu sat opposite Ning Chengqing and started drinking tea too.
"When the time comes, you and your siblings should go pick up grandma. You also know grandma's temperament. If Jingxuan goes there, there might be a quarrel."
Old Mrs. Ning is like an old naughty child, she can't help but quarrel with Jing Jingxuan every time she comes back.
Ning Jingxuan was defeated every time. Mrs. Ning was the treasure of the Ning family. She could only be pampered at this age.
"Grandma called Jingxuan before and already knows about your marriage. She will probably contact you tonight. There is something going on at my company, so I'm going out first."
After speaking, Ning Chengqing left.
There were only two people left at home again.
Mavis sat some distance away from him, taking out her mobile phone and scrolling through short videos.
She was very confused and annoyed.
For a moment, I didn’t know how to get along with Ning Chengxu.
The two of them just sat far apart.
After a long time, Ning Chengxu looked at her.
"I don't want grandma to see any flaws."
The implication was obvious, it was just that he didn't want to keep the cold war going, and Mavis knew what he meant.
"I know who I am and I know what to do."
Her tone was still cold, and Ning Chengxu felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything sarcastic like before.
The two finally eased their relationship, and he didn't want it to fall to the freezing point again.
Mavis stood up and planned to go upstairs. Ning Chengxu also stood up: "Come with me to see Enen tomorrow. That child...only if you are here will he be willing to accept me."
There was a bit of helplessness and request in these words, and Mavis responded with a faint "Okay" and went upstairs.
...
Early the next morning, Mavis made some cookies and small cakes to take to the two children.
When Ning Chengxu went downstairs, he saw her busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron, looking like a virtuous wife.
Somehow, Ning Chengxu felt an almost imperceptible peace of mind.
It was as if as long as she was there, his heart would be at peace.
He walked quietly to Mavis and suddenly started working with her.
Mavis was stunned for a second, then she continued to decorate the dessert as if nothing had happened.
