Chapter 408 Don’t Want to Be a Hands-Off Manager
Xia Songlan was depressed, but not because she was afraid.
It’s just that I haven’t seen the characters in the book for a long time. When I saw them for the first time, I couldn’t help but think of the plot, and I couldn’t help feeling a little sad.
Now the plot of the original book has little impact on her.
The people in the book rarely appeared in front of her again. Even Chen Qingqing, with whom she had such a special relationship, only met her once during the Chinese New Year.
But the feeling of being controlled by the plot made her feel powerless, like a maggot attached to her bones, disgusting and painful.
Fortunately, she had a good sleep and felt much better the next day. When she opened her eyes, she unexpectedly saw Ning Jingmo, "Why aren't you getting up yet?
Looking at me like this so early in the morning, you must be trying to scare me to death."
"Waiting for you."
Xia Songlan saw the worry in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."
Ning Jingmo wiped the corners of her eyes with his fingers, "Did you cry yesterday?"
Xia Songlan looked away embarrassedly. Perhaps she was worried too much. She was not as brave as when she first entered the book. Even now, she had more concerns.
Originally, I just wanted to cry secretly for a while and vent my feelings, but I was discovered by Ning Jingmo.
She tilted her head and snuggled into Ning Jingmo's arms.
The two didn't say anything, just hugged each other quietly.
Ning Tianya's voice came from outside the door, "Mom and Dad, are you awake? My brother and I are coming in."
Xia Songlan quickly pushed Ning Jingmo and said, "Come in."
Ning Ziqing and Ning Tianya walked in one after another from outside the door.
Ning Ziqing only stood beside the bed, but Ning Tianya had already jumped onto the bed and lay down next to Xia Songlan.
Instead, she pushed Ning Jingmo up from the bed, "How old are you, kid? You still come to sleep with your mother in your arms. Aren't you ashamed?"
Ning Tianya pouted, "No matter how old you are, you are still your mother's child. Besides, I am here to protect and comfort you, so you have to lie like this."
Ning Jingmo got up and sat on the sofa at the foot of the bed. "Why are you here to see your mother so early in the morning?"
Ning Tianya muttered, "My dad is hard of hearing or has Alzheimer's disease. Didn't I just tell you that I am here to protect and comfort mom?"
"Really?" Ning Jingmo smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I think you are here to piss me off!"
Ning Tianya lay in Xia Songlan's arms, "Mom, look at Dad."
Xia Songlan smiled, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Get up and have breakfast. I have to go to work today.
You also need to prepare, because school will start in two days."
Ning Tianya pestered Xia Songlan and acted coquettishly for a long time before the mother and daughter got up from the bed together.
Ning Ziqing then said, "Mom, I heard everything from Tianya. Don't worry, I will protect you."
Xia Songlan looked at her son who was half a head taller than her and said, "Okay, Mommy won't worry."
Ning Jingmo suddenly said, "Isn't Ziqing here? If you want to ask clearly, now is a good opportunity."
Ning Ziqing's face turned pale and he gave Ning Jingmo a questioning look.
Ning Jingmo pretended not to see it, and urged Xia Songlan, "If you don't ask now, you won't be able to find it again soon, and the child will start school soon.
Don’t let this matter affect the children’s mood for school.”
Xia Songlan thought it made sense, so she sat on the other sofa next to Ning Jingmo, "Then Ziqing, tell me, what's going on between you and Cheng Yi?"
Ning Ziqing looked at his father who was trying to divert trouble and knew that he couldn't escape today.
Ning Ziqing knew since he was a child that in his father's place, daughters-in-law were his own and children were gifts when he bought one and got two free.
I had no choice but to admit it, "I had a crush on Cheng Yi and expressed my feelings to her, but she rejected me.
I hope my mother won’t hold a grudge against her because of this incident.
She is already pitiful enough, having lost her parents since childhood, and now she has to work to earn her living expenses.
I have promised my father that this incident will not affect my studies and mood, and I will never harass Cheng Yi before I become an adult.
I also promise that even if I really date Cheng Yi in the future, it will be for the purpose of marriage, and it will definitely not be a whim."
He talked a lot and just said out loud everything and everything he thought.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Tianya couldn't hold it in anymore and started laughing beside him.
Rubbing his belly exaggeratedly.
Ning Jingmo also laughed beside him, but he didn't laugh out loud, his eyebrows and eyes were curved.
Ning Ziqing was originally calm and composed, but his face suddenly turned red when he heard the laughter from the father and son.
He glared at Ning Tianya fiercely, "If you laugh again, be careful or I will show all the love letters you received to Mom and Dad."
Ning Tianya, who was originally laughing so hard, immediately stopped smiling.
Xia Songlan looked at Ning Tianya in surprise, "Tianya, what's going on? Are you also in a premature love relationship?"
Ning Tianya waved her hands, "I didn't, who would be so stupid as to lock themselves up so early.
I still want to enjoy the good life.”
When Ning Ziqing saw that Xia Songlan's attention turned to Ning Tianya, he raised his eyebrows at her proudly, then turned and left.
Seeing that he wanted to keep her, Ning Tianya left in a hurry with a guilty conscience, quickly went into her room and slammed the door.
Xia Songlan was about to chase after him angrily, but Ning Jingmo hugged her and said, "Okay, Songlan, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health."
Xia Songlan glared at him angrily and said, "This is what you call a free-range policy. Two teenagers don't focus on their studies, but just daydream.
Did you know about their affairs a long time ago, and the three of you kept it a secret from me?"
"Then you are wrongly accusing me." Ning Jingmo patted Xia Songlan's back to help her calm down. "I just found out about Ziqing's matter, and I really don't know anything about Tianya's matter."
Xia Songlan raised her foot and kicked Ning Jingmo's calf. "From now on, you don't have to worry about the children's affairs. You will have to bear the responsibility of not raising them well and educating them."
Ning Jingmo exaggeratedly bent down and rubbed his calf, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, I'll take all the responsibility, as long as you don't get angry.
Are you still sad now?"
"Ok?"
Ning Jingmo looked at Xia Songlan's silly expression and wanted to rub her face. "You are no longer worried about Ouyang Jiu, right?"
"When did I ever worry about him?"
"Tsk tsk... who was so angry last night that he didn't even eat and cried before going to bed."
Xia Songlan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't change the subject. We're talking about the children's education right now. Why bring him up?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry.
Just don't take what happened yesterday to heart and stop letting Ouyang Jiu affect your mood.
You don't have to worry about the kids here.
You gave birth to your own children, don’t you understand them?
They have been very careful about everything they do since they were young, and would never do anything out of line."
Ning Jingmo saw that Xia Songlan was still angry, so he smiled and hugged her in his arms, patting her back gently, "The children are also worried about you, so they used this method to divert your attention early in the morning.
Why did you take it seriously?
With Tianya's personality, you don't have to worry about her falling in love too early. You might even worry about her not being able to get married in the future."
Xia Songlan pushed Ning Jingmo away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my daughter not be able to get married?
Our Tianya is lively and cheerful, versatile, and has good academic performance.
How come you can't get married?"
Xia Songlan's attention was completely on the two children at the moment, and she had long forgotten about Ouyang Jiu's matter.
After eating breakfast and going to work, I remembered as I was leaving, "Will Ouyang Jiu come to harass me again?"
Ning Jingmo helped her close the car door and said, "Go to work with peace of mind. He is still on the plane.
I guess he will be very busy when he returns to country x and won’t be able to take care of you at all.
You should worry more about your two children!
Didn’t you say that I can’t be in charge? From now on, their education issues will be completely handed over to you.”
"Bah, don't think you can just sit there and do nothing."
After Xia Songlan finished speaking, she drove away.
