Chapter 236: Doubts
Chapter 236: Doubts
"This is not a courtesy, please come in!"
Just like a diligent person in the world, Wang Shengnan was always talking and laughing, but she was actually secretly happy in her heart.
Indeed, it was not because of the precious gifts Cao Ze brought, but because she was moved by his deep affection for her.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat opposite each other at the gorgeous dining table.
"Today's banquet is extremely sumptuous!"
"Miao Miao, aren't you coming home to have dinner with me?"
Cao Ze expressed his admiration but also asked with a hint of doubt.
"She has been busy practicing recently, so she said she can just use some food on campus!"
Although the scholarly family was close to Chunfeng Academy, frequent trips back and forth took time. Therefore, Lin Miaomiao seldom returned home for meals.
"Xiao Ze, come and taste it."
“When food gets cold, it loses its flavor. Some delicacies need to be enjoyed right away!”
Seeing Cao Ze waiting quietly, Wang Shengnan hurriedly urged him.
"Okay, thank you for your concern."
Cao Ze nodded, picked up the chopsticks and prepared to start.
"Xiao Ze, such a delicious meal."
"Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't taste some good wine?"
"Wait a moment..."
Wang Shengnan seemed to remember something, and turned to Jiuzang and smiled.
Listening and drinking, Cao Ze recalled Wang Shengnan who was like a torrent and a tiger last time. However, seeing the auntie's enthusiasm, he could not refuse her.
I have an excellent physique, so there is no need to worry about getting drunk. The wine is already in hand, and dinner officially begins.
The two of them were talking and laughing quietly, clinking glasses, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Xiao Ze, let me tell you."
"Auntie sincerely admires you!"
"I never expected that the little kid back then would become a CEO."
Seeing this brilliant young man, Wang Shengnan was filled with countless emotions.
"If your mother were still here..."
"Forget it, Auntie, you're just making me upset."
Wang Shengnan, who had almost finished a bottle of red wine, felt a little tipsy.
"Aunt Shengnan, you should eat more vegetables!"
Although Cao Ze drank the same amount of wine, his expression remained as calm as before, without any change.
“Well, thanks for the suggestion.”
After the divorce, Wang Shengnan's nostalgia for Lin Dawei seemed to fade away. She always wore a calm smile at the dinner, showing her attitude of enjoying the present moment.
"Xiao Ze, how are you preparing for the third mock exam?"
Halfway through drinking, Wang Shengnan thought of this matter again.
“It’s not bad.”
The unprepared Cao Ze smiled and said that now that he could rely on his own strength, academic qualifications were redundant.
Of course, even so, he still took the college entrance examination seriously.
The two had a pleasant conversation, talking about everything from childhood anecdotes to the changes today.
"Xiao Ze, look at Auntie's new iridescent nails. Aren't they beautiful?"
Wang Shengnan showed off her clean nails with a smile on her face.
On the eight nails, crystal diamonds sparkling with magical luster are dotted like stars, and the azure blue of the aurora butterfly shadows gives the shining nails a dynamic rhythm.
In fact, Cao Ze had noticed her nails a long time ago, but he never thought that Wang Shengnan was now interested in it.
Taking a closer look at Wang Shengnan's skin and appearance, I found that she seemed to be going for spa treatments regularly recently.
"it's beautiful!"
"Aunt Shengnan, you are becoming more fashionable now!"
Cao Ze smiled slightly and said with praise.
"hehe..."
Hearing the praise, Wang Shengnan smiled heartily.
"what?"
"But why......"
Having said this, Cao Ze hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Shengnan was full of curiosity.
“Why did you only decorate eight nails?”
Seeing Wang Shengnan mentioned this, he asked directly.
"Well... "
“This one!”
Wang Shengnan put away her fingers while thinking of an explanation.
"It's not that..."
Wang Shengnan was thinking it over and about to speak when Cao Ze's cell phone suddenly rang.
“Excuse me, I have to answer a phone call!”
With an apologetic smile, Cao Ze stood up and answered the phone.
"Sister Nanxing, have you passed the nanny interview?"
"Well, okay, I understand..."
After a brief conversation, Cao Ze put down his phone.
It turned out that Chen Nanxing had interviewed Dong Jiaorao and felt that she had good overall qualities and was good at cooking, so he decided to try her as a nanny first and told Cao Ze to reassure him.
"Auntie, this golden fish is cooked very well!"
After tasting the delicious dishes, Cao Ze praised them highly.
Cao Ze's change of topic interrupted Wang Shengnan's thoughts and made her no longer want to explain the reason just now.
"Xiao Ze, eat more of what you like. I have been stewing this dish for a long time."
"If you like it, let me know in advance next time and Auntie will cook it for you herself!"
Wang Shengnan picked up some food for him with a doting smile on her face.
"Well, that's great!"
Cao Ze nodded and continued to enjoy the meal.
"You are still the same as when you were little."
“Remember when you were eight years old and you made your mother mad.”
"When she was about to teach you a lesson, you hid in our house. Miaomiao was still young at that time, and you two were arguing about eating braised pig's trotters..."
When Wang Shengnan talked about the past, she looked like she was reminiscing about it. The handsome young man in front of her was no longer the boy she was five years ago.
Half an hour later, the food on the table was almost all gone, and the three bottles of precious red wine were completely drained by the two of them.
"Ozawa, I..."
Wang Shengnan was obviously a little drunk and her speech was incoherent.
Seeing this, Cao Ze had no choice but to help her walk towards the bed.
"Auntie, stop making trouble and take a good rest!"
Unexpectedly, when helping Wang Shengnan, the aunt made some irregular movements, which made Cao Ze smile bitterly. But he finally put her on the bed.
Thinking of the delicious meal he had enjoyed for free, Cao Ze decided to at least tidy up the table before leaving, so he started to clean up after finishing his fruit.
When he had almost finished cleaning up, he said:
"Aunt Shengnan, I'm leaving first..."
Wang Shengnan opened the door and prepared to leave, but she hadn't finished her words yet...
Wang Shengnan’s residence in Shuxiang Pavilion.
After school, Lin Miaomiao walked into the house and called out, "Mom, I'm back!"
"Hey, where are the people?"
The living room and kitchen were brightly lit, but there was no sign of mom Wang Shengnan.
Lin Miaomiao muttered, confused.
Because at this time on weekdays, her mother would always prepare delicious food and wait for her to have a midnight snack when she returned home.
But tonight, there was nothing except a fruit plate on the table.
However, there were still dishes to be washed in the kitchen.
"Did my mother invite anyone to dinner?"
Lin Miaomiao guessed when she saw the two pairs of tableware.
Unable to find any delicious food, Lin Miaomiao pouted and walked to Wang Shengnan's door.
I turned the handle, but found it was locked, and there were faint noises coming from inside the room.
"Mom, why did you lock the door? Why didn't you prepare food today?"
Lin Miaomiao, who was kind-hearted and plump, did not have too many doubts, and screamed in a high-pitched voice of grievance...
