CHAPTER 1138 YOU'RE AS FOOLISH AS MY MOTHER
Xue Ning instantly turned to get cutlery and placed it in front of Jiang Ning. She was beaming from ear to ear.
She was so happy and excited that she couldn't contain herself at all!
Xue Ning glanced at Jiang Daoran, but he continued to blush and inhaled deeply before taking a seat. Then he continued to look at Jiang Ning without saying a word.
This was probably the first time that this father and son had sat down at the dining table together in years.
"See? Auntie learned how to cook this specially for you," said Lin Yuzhen. "She specially called my mother and learned it from her."
Jiang Ning didn't say a word. He took some food with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth.
Then all the other three people stared at Jiang Ning and his mouth.
"And this dish too. I know you like it, so I told Auntie in advance. She learned it from the chef. I tried it, and it's not bad," said Lin Yuzhen again.
Xue Ning felt her eyes almost going red and wanted to wipe her tears. But right now, these were clearly moments of joy.
Jiang Ning continued to eat without saying a word.
"And this dish. I love it. Try some?"
Lin Yuzhen pursed her lips and looked at him with anticipation. Jiang Ning didn't speak and continued to take more food instead.
Lin Yuzhen came up with all manner of reasons for Jiang Ning to sample the fine spread at the table.
Xue Ning's eyes were red, but she forced herself not to cry.
Jiang Daoran's eyes were red too. He glanced at Lin Yuzhen with gratitude brimming from his eyes.
"Hubby, you must be thirsty. Why don't you have some wine?" asked Lin Yuzhen as she poured Jiang Ning a glass. Then she poured a glass for Jiang Daoran too and said, "Don't you always complain about how I tell you to drink less while you're out? I permit you to drink today.”
Jiang Ning wasn't that domineering God of War at all anymore.
He was so obedient right now that it was inconceivable.
Jiang Ning held the wine glass and placed it straight by his lips. Just as he was about to drink it, he put it back down. Then he looked up at Jiang Daoran before raising the glass again.
Jiang Daoran was still in a daze. Xue Ning nudged him gently, so he instantly held up his wine glass.
"I now know why Mum doesn't blame you."
Jiang Ning finished the wine in a gulp. Content © 2024.
Jiang Daoran clearly felt constrained. It didn't seem like this man was his son at all. He quickly drank his wine while his usual composure was nowhere in sight.
Jiang Ning poured himself another glass and looked at Xue Ning.
"Auntie Xue, it has been hard on you," said Jiang Ning as he held the wine and shook his head quickly. "You managed to stay with this old man all these years, so you are just as foolish as Mum."
Then Jiang Ning drank the wine in a gulp again.
Xue Ning couldn't help crying. She finished all the wine in her glass too.
She knew what Jiang Ning meant by that.
The boy must have forgiven Jiang Daoran!
Jiang Ning put down the wine glass and stood up to hold Lin Yuzhen's hand. There was still a cold expression on his face, but Lin Yuzhen could keenly sense a tiny crack emerging on their longtime estrangement.
"Okay. We are done eating and drinking. It's time to go back and rest,” said Jiang Ning as he walked right out with Lin Yuzhen.
Jiang Daoran and Xue Ning stood up to see them off. When Lin Yuzhen secretly turned around to stick her tongue out and gestured ‘okay, they couldn't help laughing.
Xue Ning couldn't help feeling delighted and excited as she looked at the empty dishes on the table and thought about all the food Jiang Ning had eaten.
She was immensely grateful to Lin Yuzhen.
"Yuzhen is a kindhearted child. She's a really good girl,” Xue Ning couldn't help saying.
Jiang Daoran didn't say a word and only nodded vigorously. Then suddenly he realized something.
"Have you given it to her?'
