Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Wedding Ceremony 3
Silence all the way.
Until they arrived at the filming location, Gong Xiu couldn’t contain himself any longer. He grasped Ning Xixi’s wrist and whispered, "I know you don’t want to film, don’t force yourself, I can take you away!"
Ning Xixi countered him, "And then what?"
"What ’then’?"
"If we don’t film, will they not get married?"
Gong Xiu pursed his lips.
"Since nothing can be changed, then let’s just not do anything." A sarcastic smile formed on her pale pink lips, "Let’s go, it’s time to start filming."
She walked ahead, Gong Xiu closed his eyes briefly, sighed, and stepped forward to follow.
The filming ended quickly.
After the photoshoot, the four of them went to a restaurant picked by Ning Jingshen.
It was apparent that Ning Jingshen and Gong Xiu’s mother, Lu Qinghe, had a good relationship. While ordering, he whispered a few words to Lu Qinghe, smiling with lines creasing his face, a smile that came from the heart.
Lu Qinghe was the epitome of a strong businesswoman, dressed in a black suit, maintaining both her figure and face well, appearing to be just in her early thirties.
She didn’t even ask Ning Xixi for her opinion and directly ordered all the dishes, a woman with an incredibly strong desire for control.
The dishes were served swiftly, not to Ning Xixi’s taste at all, and with her mood not being great, she hardly ate anything after a long while.
Seeing this, Ning Jingshen picked up some food with the serving chopsticks for her, "Xixi, eat a bit more."
Looking at the chili sauce on the dish, Ning Xixi bit her lip, "I don’t eat spicy food."
Ning Jingshen paused, looking quite embarrassed, placed the food into his own plate, then as if suddenly remembering something, he smiled, "Then how about I order a steamed egg custard with shrimp for you? Didn’t you like that?"
"That was what I liked when I was a child, I don’t like it anymore."
Ning Jingshen’s expression became even more awkward.
Seeing this, Lu Qinghe set down her chopsticks, and sharply said, "Ning Xixi, is it? I know you are unhappy with my presence, but is there a need to make it so obvious?"
Ning Xixi smiled, neither confronting her nor denying it.
"I’ve eaten enough. Ji Yebai was injured and he’s still in the hospital, I’m going to see him."
She didn’t resist their marriage, but that didn’t mean she accepted Gong Xiu and Lu Qinghe as her family.
Taking a family portrait, fine. Eating a family meal, fine.
She could play along with their drama, but it didn’t mean she would let herself be wronged!
"Xixi! Dinner isn’t over yet, the elders haven’t left, what’s the rush?" Ning Jingshen chided her.
Lu Qinghe followed up, "The matter between you and Ji Family’s second young master, I’ve heard a little about it. I heard you’re living at his place? You two are not kids anymore, it was excusable when you were ignorant children, but now you’re a grown woman, living with a man ambiguously, don’t you think it’s inappropriate?"
Ning Xixi chuckled, noncommittal.
Her unoffended and unworried attitude irritated Lu Qinghe, always reminding her of Song Weiyang from years past.
Indeed, she detested Song Weiyang, even loathed her!
"Move out from Ji’s family immediately! Better yet, stay away from that Ji Yebai! He’s domineering and not suitable for you! You won’t be happy marrying into his family!" Ning Dad roared sternly.
Ning Xixi’s smile froze.
So, this was his reason for canceling her engagement with Ji Yebai and attempting to match her with Yan Yichen?
Overhearing this, Lu Qinghe scoffed coldly and looked at Gong Xiu, "Keep your sister in check, we can’t have her being immodest and causing us to lose our dignity, can we?"
