CHAPTER 888 IS HE YOUR SON
"I'm your wife after all, so I should have the right to come into your study," replied Xue Ning calmly.
Her tone of voice was calm, but Jiang Daoran could tell that she was speaking more quickly than usual and she seemed a little nervous.
"Of course," Jiang Daoran pointed to the sofa. "Take a seat."
This was probably the first time they were sitting down to chat like this after being married for fifteen years.
Both Xue Ning and Jiang Daoran felt unnatural.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Content © 2024.
He started making tea and didn't look at Xue Ning. It was as if avoiding eye contact with her would make the tension in the air less awkward.
The fragrance of the tea filled the room.
'That Jiang Ning. Is he your son?" Xue
Ning went straight to the point. "Your son with her."
Jiang Daoran stopped pouring tea for a moment, then he continued pouring the tea and laughed.
"Since when were you curious about these things?"
The sound of the tea pouring out was very loud in the quiet room. Jiang Daoran placed the teacup in front of Xue Ning. "There are a lot of rumors out there these days, and sometimes I can't tell what's real and what's not anymore."
Xue Ning didn't touch the tea and continued to look at Jiang Daoran.
"Just tell me,” she took a deep breath. "Yes, or no?"
"Yes," Jiang Daoran suddenly admitted it.
Xue Ning was stunned. She thought Jiang Daoran would deny it or even ignore her question. She didn't expect him to tell her the answer directly, and it was actually a yes.
He was actually willing to tell her about this?
Didn't he know what his relationship with Jiang Ning meant?
Xue Ning was completely frozen and didn't react for a long time.
She was the one who asked the question, but she couldn't believe the answer herself.
"But too bad, he doesn't acknowledge me, so I suppose he's not."
Jiang Daoran gave a bitter laugh and picked up the teacup. He took a sip and said to Xue Ning, "Try the tea. This is that boy's favorite tea, I got Jiang Hai to find a way to get me some."
Xue Ning looked at the teacup, then looked back at Jiang Daoran.
She reached out and picked up the teacup.
She took a small sip and her expression
was rather complex.
"Why does someone his age like to drink tea?"
"No matter how bitter the tea is, it's probably sweeter than life," said Jiang Daoran with a smile. "I don't even dare to imagine what terrible sort of life he's gone through. I'm afraid that if I try to imagine it, I would start to think that he's right in refusing to acknowledge me and the Jiang family."
Xue Ning didn't say anything. She looked at the teacup and drank everything down.
"Did Xue Kai ask you about it?" asked Jiang Daoran.
"No," Xue Ning shook her head. "I just want to know for myself whether that Jiang Ning is the child you had with her, and now I know the answer."
"Don't worry, I won't tell my brother or anybody at all. Since you don't want anyone to know about this, I won't say anything."
"I trust you,” said Jiang Daoran.
Of course, he knew the impact on the Jiang family if he revealed his relationship with Jiang Ning. The Pang family and Xue family would immediately turn their attention to the Jiang family, and perhaps even the one behind all this would also turn his attention to the Jiang family.
But he didn't want to hide this from Xue Ning.
Xue Ning didn't say anything. She got up to leave.
She had asked what she wanted and gotten the answer she wanted too. Jiang Daoran's honesty actually made her happy instead.
It was actually this easy to make her happy. It was as if she was still that simple and innocent girl back then.
"What happened then wasn't your fault and she never blamed you for it. I'm sure Jiang Ning is a mature child and after he knows the truth, he won't blame you either," Xue
Ning walked to the door and turned to look at Jiang Daoran. "Be nicer to him, he'll acknowledge you."
