Qu Ningning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that she was really the one who was being concealed. She intuitively told her that maybe the original contract had something to do with the owner of the postcard.

"Housekeeper, I... just feel a little uneasy. I hope that the child will be born in a loving family and grow up happily."

"The young master will definitely be the happiest child." The housekeeper's eyes were firm, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was deeper than usual.

Qu Ningning just glanced at him and didn't speak any more. The car drove eastwards, the driver turned on the heater on purpose, Qu Ningning leaned on the car seat and fell asleep at some point.

Until I heard the soft voice of the housekeeper next to me: "Madam, we are here."

"Okay." She wrapped her clothes tighter, and felt a chill when she opened the car door.

In Father Rong's house, there was only one nanny who cooked for him on weekdays. After ringing the doorbell several times, he slowly opened the door.

"Where's Dad?" When she walked into the yard, she saw a vast expanse of whiteness.

Those tree branches were covered with snow, and the green in summer suddenly turned into snow-covered plains, although there is also a strange beauty,

The nanny shrank back, breathed out and said, "Master is reading in the study."

"Well, go tell him I'm coming."

Sitting in the quaint living room, Qu Ningning waited for a while before hearing a cough.

"Cough cough cough... Ning Ning is here." Father Rong staggered down the steps slowly.

Qu Ningning subconsciously frowned, this cough seems to have been there since the first time he came back, why hasn't it healed after so long?
"Dad, do you want to go to the hospital? It's not a problem to cough like this."

"I'm getting old, I'm going to be like this. Besides, the weather has been cooling down recently. I didn't keep warm when I went out a few days ago, so you don't have to worry about it."

Every time this matter was mentioned, Father Rong's face would turn dark, and Qu Ningning had no choice but to keep silent.As a daughter-in-law, she can't take care of everything.

However, Qu Ningning secretly decided to discuss this matter with Rong Lixing when he went home, and persuaded Rong's father to go to the hospital for a checkup.

The nanny turned around and poured a few cups of hot tea, and the butler also sat on the sofa.

"Why are you free today?"

"Li Xing is going abroad tomorrow. I'm bored at home and want to visit you." Qu Ningning took a gift box with him.

"This is just brought back by a friend from abroad. The workmanship is exquisite, and I specially show it to you."

"Cough cough cough...cough cough cough..."

In the quiet living room, father Rong's cough could be clearly heard, and every time he coughed, his complexion was not very good.

Qu Ningning looked at him nervously, wanting to say something, but thinking of her father-in-law's rejection every time, she had to shut up again.

"You can be regarded as caring. I don't have any favorite things on weekdays. I just like collecting these ancient things."

"As long as Dad likes it." Qu Ningning replied with a smile, and stopped talking.

Father Rong seemed to be restraining his coughing as much as possible, and asked after a short while: "Have you eaten at noon? If you haven't eaten, please stay here and eat together."

"Okay." Qu Ningning nodded in agreement without any politeness.

The butler stared at her deeply, as if he could feel that her coming this time should be more than just giving tea cups.
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, and the nanny turned around to open the door. Qu Ningning's gaze also fell in the direction of the door.

"Is Lao Rong at home?" A thick middle-aged man's voice came. After hearing this, Father Rong turned his head and stood up, with a slight smile on his face.

Wearing a sweatshirt, a man with pale hair and a smiling face walked in.

Qu Ningning recalled it for a while, and always felt that he had seen this person somewhere.

"Old Qin, why are you free to come to my place today?" Father Rong walked over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

Qin Fen!One of the shareholders of the Rong Group, Qu Ningning seemed to have seen him at the shareholders meeting last time, no wonder he had some impressions.

Seeing the way the two of them talked and laughed at Yan Yan, Qu Ningning had already guessed that the relationship between the two of them must be very good.It seems that among the shareholders, he is also the only one who has always stood by Rong Lixing.

Qu Ningning nodded to him politely, and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Qin."

Only then did Qin Fen notice a girl standing in the living room, looked it over carefully and asked, "Is this your daughter-in-law?"

"Yes." Father Rong nodded with a smile, turned around and asked the nanny to pour another cup of tea.

Qin Fen came over, sat on the sofa, looked at Qu Ningning, and said with a big smile, "I remember the last time I saw this little girl was five years ago, when she was young and sweet, all these years have passed Yep, it's getting younger and younger."

Qu Ningning's smile suddenly froze on his face, he just smiled and didn't speak.

However, when she turned her eyes to the housekeeper and father Rong, she could still see that their expressions became a little bit uncomfortable, with an embarrassed look on their faces.

Father Rong immediately stopped him: "Old Qin, this..."

But Qin Fen didn't see anything wrong with Rong's father at all. He just smiled and said to himself: "At that time, you and Li Xing were a perfect match. I went to see you when you got married. The two of you were in the auditorium. The oath is really touching."

"That's right, thank you uncle." Qu Ningning didn't make a sound to correct something, but had a calm expression on his face.

The butler specially reminded: "The food is ready, the master can serve."

Father Rong hurriedly said, "Old Qin, let's go eat."

"Okay, okay." Qin Fen smiled and nodded while standing up, looking at Qu Ningning with an admiring look.

At the dinner table, Qu Ningning just lowered his head to eat, listening to the two of them discussing the company's affairs, what Qin Fen said just now was recalled in his mind.

Five years ago, she and Rong Lixing did not know each other.

Suddenly, Qu Ningning seemed to want to investigate further, so he deliberately added a piece of braised pork ribs to Qin Fen's bowl.

"Uncle, this dish is delicious, and it's very badly cooked."

"Okay." Qin Fen was even happier when he saw that the girl was so polite and had a special wink.

"I haven't seen you for so many years. You are much more gentle and generous than before. Don't you not like to hear something from Uncle."

"Uncle, please tell me." Qu Ningning deliberately behaved calmly, as if there was no displeasure at all.

After Qin Fen saw it, he became even more unrestrained, and said bluntly: "Back then, I thought you and Li Xing couldn't get along, because you two have such cold personalities, and people say that you are complementary talents. fit together."

"Oh, is that so?" Qu Ningning still had a smile on his face, picked up a spoon and took a sip of the soup, his eyes were deep and bottomless.

Father Rong sighed softly, and couldn't take it any longer, so he said slowly: "Old Qin, this is Ning Ning, the second daughter of the Qu family!"

Hearing Father Rong's somewhat dissatisfied voice, Qin Fen carefully followed up the words just now, and then suddenly realized, looking at Qu Ningning who was still smiling.

Embarrassment immediately appeared on his face, and even his smile became stiff.

"Hehe, I...did I say something wrong just now?"

"No, Uncle, I don't mind." When Qu Ningning raised his head, his eyes narrowed into a smile, looking very cute.

But Qin Fen always felt that the little girl in front of him was not as innocent as she seemed at first. He always felt that he had said too many wrong things today and wanted to make up for it.

"Well, everyone has a past, so don't worry about it. Uncle was talking nonsense just now, and he can't remember clearly when he's old."

Father Rong quickly poured him a glass of wine, glared at him and said, "You, you'd better drink your wine."

"Fight, deal!" Qin Fen didn't dare to look at Qu Ningning anymore, so he had to change the topic back to the company's affairs.

Qu Ningning's meal was tasteless, even in the face of exquisite dishes, it was like chewing wax.

After finishing her meal in a hurry, she said goodbye to Rong's father: "Dad, you and Uncle Qin are slowly reminiscing about the past, and I'll go back first."

"Well, be careful on the road. I want the driver to take you back."

"No, just take a taxi at will. The housekeeper will take care of me by my side, so don't worry. Li Xing and I will come to see you next time."
Qu Ningning took the scarf handed over by the butler, wrapped it around his neck, and nodded to Qin Fen, "Uncle, next time I invite you to my house for a drink."

"Oh, yes, yes." Qin Fen didn't dare to say any more this time, but kept nodding his head.

After Qu Ningning left the villa, only Qin Fen and Father Rong were left in the room.

"Old Rong, did I say too many wrong words just now?"

Father Rong gave him a hard look, sighed and drank the wine in the glass: "I think she came to me this time because of this incident."

"Is the relationship between your son and daughter-in-law not good?" Qin Fen asked with some doubts.

Father Rong's eyes fell on the white expanse of the yard, he shook his head and said, "They probably haven't said something clearly. Let's stop asking about young people's affairs."

I don't know when this sentence stopped. When Qu Ningning walked in the yard, he could always feel the strange gaze of the housekeeper behind him.

"What's the matter?" She turned her head and asked with a smile, the warmth in the smile was brighter than the sun, but the eyes were full of sadness.The butler knew that Madam went to the Master's place for a purpose today, and the most coincidental thing was that she met Qin Fen, and she said everything she shouldn't have said.
