Chapter 71: Provocation
Under Qin Yu’s command, Ning Chen gently placed her in the car.
Qin Yu felt her entire body heating up and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
‘Qin Yu, how could you be so meek?’ She pinched herself hard; the pain forcing her to inhale deeply.
Ning Chen, who was sitting next to her, turned his head around.
Qin Yu sat down and smiled. “Brother, am I heavy?”
Upon saying that, she felt like slapping herself hard in the face. What on earth was that about?
She added, “For the past few days, sister Ah Bi and sister Ah Yu made plenty of delicious food. If I didn’t eat, they’d think it wasn’t done to my liking. If I did, I’d become a ball by the end of the day.”
She puffed up her cheeks, looking extremely adorable.
Ning Chen reached out and rubbed her head. “You’re not fat. I can still carry you if you’re twenty pounds heavier.”
“Twenty pounds? Then I’d be a fat pig! It’s scary!” Qin Yu stuck out her tongue.
“I like you however you are.” Ning Chen held Qin Yu’s hand in his palm. It was very soft, as if devoid of bones.
Qin Yu’s body stiffened. Was that flirting? Qin Yu turned her head out toward the window and pretended not to hear what he said.
As soon as the car stopped, she saw Ah Bi running out to welcome her.
“Sister Ah Bi, I’m back!” Qin Yu extended her arms to seated in her wheelchair.
Ah Bi hugged Qin Yu and nervously said to Ning Chen, “Young master, the madam is here. The cousin came too.”
Ning Chen responded with a soft “hmm”.
Qin Yu looked up and saw that the smile had left Ning Chen’s face, turning back into a piece of jade without warmth.
One couldn’t describe him as warm.
He was like a piece of ice-cold Jade, Qin Yu thought to herself.
Ning Chen wanted Qin Yu to tell him where to go since they arrived home. Qin Yu took the opportunity to make random commands- ten steps to the left, ten steps forward, and ten more steps to the right.
Ning Chen followed her instructions obediently. Qin Yu laughed, her laughter clear as the chimes of a silver bell.
Since the second madam was already here, Qin Yu didn’t care if she had to wait for a while.
Ning Chen seemed to have forgotten about Ah Bi’s reminder. He allowed Qin Yu to do whatever she wanted, pushing her around the courtyard with a doting smile on his face.
Only when Qin Yu was done playing did he instruct Ning Chen to walk towards the main house.
Qin Yu raised her head and asked, “Aren’t you tired?”
Ning Chen lowered his head and smiled. “Are you worried? Do you want more? I’m not tired at all.”
Qin Yu shook her head. “I’m not playing anymore. Let’s go back.”
They had to face reality, and not jut leave it hanging. If only they could do it, but was it possible?
Upon entering, they saw the Second Madam sitting on the couch with a gloomy expression with Ning Jing and Ji Lan sitting on both sides. Beside her was a haggard-looking Bai Ting in a white dress.
“Second Aunt, Sixth Aunt, Big Sister,” Qin Yu greeted them crisply. Which was also a reminder to Ning Chen.
Ning Chen reached out and caressed Qin Yu’s head as a response.
Ning Jing looked at them and pursed her lips. “Hey, wasn’t it just a burn? Why the wheelchair? Is there even a need for that?”
Ning Jing was a straightforward person, to put it nicely. To put it bluntly, she was a little dumb.
Her dissatisfaction with Qin Yu was directly expressed on her face. People like that were often easy to deal with.
Qin Yu smiled and said, “As for that, Big Sister, it’s comfortable sitting in a wheelchair. Don’t you want to try it? Big Brother pushed me around in the yard just now, it was really fun. Come and play with me.”
Ning Jing was stunned and said angrily, “Are you out of your mind?”
Qin Yu tilted her head and gave it a little thought. “No, what does this have to do with being stupid?”
Ning Jing was so angry that her face turned purple. “Ning Chen, are you just going to let her do as she pleases?”
Ning Chen stood behind Qin Yu and ran his fingers through Qin Yu’s hair. “Big Sister, are you holding any grudges against me? I can pamper my wife however she wants. Her happiness is all that matters!”
At that moment, Qin Yu had the urge to leap forward and give Ning Chen a thumbs up. What an amazing way to anger somebody else!
“It doesn’t hurt to keep quiet, Ning Jing.” Sixth Aunt Ji Lan gently tried to dissuade her.
“Sixth Aunt, look at them! Who do they think they are?”
Ji Lan smiled gently. “It’s only a little fun between a young couple. Look at how loving they are. Xiao Yu is innocent and a good girl.”
Ji Lan’s gaze fell gently on Qin Yu and Ning Chen.
Qin Yu thought highly of Sixth Aunt. She felt that she possessed a beauty not found in the rest of the Ning family.
