Ning Zeyan’s leg is fine, which is major news for the Ning Family. This news spread quickly, even the unsuspecting Mrs. Ning was so ecstatic she almost fainted.
Suddenly, many ca to make connections, and Ning Zeyan dismissed those people before saying to Gu Xiyao, "My leg is fine; I should revisit your mother with you properly. Back then, they paired you with Ning Zesheng because they despised that I was a cripple!"
Ning Zeyan always had a gentle smile on his face, yet his words carried a sarcastic undertone.
Gu Xiyao replied directly, "You said we are on the sa path, and pretending all the ti is exhausting. We shouldn’t have to be so insincere with each other anymore, right?"
"This isn’t pretending!" Ning Zeyan chuckled, "It’s just that it has beco a habit, an accumulated habit over ti. Just like how you’re clearly reprimanding now, yet I still find you quite gentle."
Gu Xiyao only felt his sweet words were a bit disgusting, "Hurry up and drive to my mother’s place; I suddenly have a new sister, and there are many things I want to say to her!"
"Alright! Whatever makes you happy is great!" Ning Zeyan appeared to be exceedingly cheerful.
Gu Xiyao simply kept silent; she sat quietly, once again embodying her forr elegant and composed deanor.
The car drove directly to the hotel where Tong Songlin was staying, and Gu Xiyao knocked on the door with a serene smile on her face, exuding proud confidence, still the sa eldest daughter of the Gu Family, the number one socialite of New City!
However, when Tong Songlin saw Ning Zeyan standing behind her, she couldn’t help but be startled, "Your leg is fine?"
"I am about to marry Xi Yao, so I have to be worthy of her!" Ning Zeyan responded respectfully, "My leg is pretty much fine, though occasionally it still acts up and causes so pain, so I often sit in a wheelchair. Xi Yao says walking more will help recovery, so now I don’t use the wheelchair!"
His explanation was reasonable, and he acted as if he was deeply in love with Gu Xiyao. Tong Songlin glanced at her daughter directly, "You knew long ago?"
"Mother, it’s not very nice to keep us standing at the door, is it?" Gu Xiyao asked with a serene smile on her face.
Only then did Tong Songlin let them in; once the door was closed, Ning Zeyan began his visit properly, speaking as if he treasured Gu Xiyao.
Ultimately, Gu Xiyao couldn’t listen anymore and spoke up, "Okay, Ning Zeyan, you treat so well; Mother has no reason to oppose our marriage. Your intentions are clear to my mother. Doesn’t your company have matters to attend to? Mother has been back from her trip for quite a while, and we haven’t had a proper one-on-one chat yet."
Her tone carried a hint of playful coquettishness, yet she remained composed and graceful. Tong Songlin felt sothing was off, but couldn’t pinpoint it.
Ning Zeyan nodded tactfully, "I’ll be leaving then, dear mother-in-law!"
He walked over and wrapped his arm around Gu Xiyao’s waist, giving her a kiss on the forehead, then left with a smile.
Gu Xiyao escorting him out with a smile, as soon as the door closed, her deanor cooled a bit.
Tong Songlin keenly noticed the change in her daughter—the daughter she had raised to always conceal her emotions, whose every smile and frown was ideally gentle—had changed faces so quickly.
Tong Songlin’s face darkened as she couldn’t help but ask, "Xi Yao, what is really going on between you and Ning Zeyan?"
