Grandpa Ning celebrates his birthday. According to the usual practice, all the younger members of the family have to go back to congratulate him on his birthday. This year, Ning Zhanghong fell ill and was just discharged from the hospital. Tomorrow's meal will be more formal and meaningful.
But Ning Junyan didn't plan to take him back on his grandfather's birthday, but went back for dinner a day earlier. He didn't care what his family would think of his relationship with them, but he was worried that Chen Yuncheng would care.
Chen Yuncheng is indeed contradictory and uneasy. On the one hand, he wanted to see Ning Junyan's grandfather, but on the other hand, he felt that no matter how good Ning Junyan's grandfather was and how much he loved Ning Junyan, seeing his lover was a man, he would definitely will be disappointed. Obviously waiting for his grandson to bring his girlfriend home with hope, but he turned into a boyfriend, and the old man must feel bad.
But he did not reject Ning Junyan, he felt that this matter must be meaningful to Ning Junyan, at least he didn't want to disappoint Ning Junyan.
Even though Chen Yuncheng didn't wear a suit and tie that day, he dressed more formally than usual.
Ning Junyan drove to the commercial market to pick him up, and after he got in the car, he said to him, "Don't be nervous."
Chen Yuncheng nodded and said nothing.
When they drove out of the market, they encountered a white BMW at the gate that was about to enter.
This car is a second-hand BMW bought by Chen Yuncheng with a mortgage. It is usually placed in the parking space outside the store. He doesn't usually drive it very much. He usually only drives it when he goes out to talk business. The car was driven out by Guan Anlin this afternoon, and has only returned from outside.
When he got into the wrong car, Chen Yuncheng pressed down the car window and asked Guan Anlin, "Where did you go?"
Guan Anlin waved his hand and didn't answer, but asked Chen Yuncheng, "Aren't you coming back tonight?"
Ning Junyan said for Chen Yuncheng, "Don't come back."
Guan Anlin showed a dissatisfied expression, pressed the window and drove the car into the market.
Chen Yuncheng cursed in a low voice, "Stinky boy." He didn't say anything more.
When he arrived at the villa community where his grandfather lived in the urban area, Ning Junyan still parked the car in the roadside parking lot in the community, opened the door to get off, and waited for Chen Yuncheng to come down and walk with him.
Chen Yuncheng spoke very little, as if he was walking intently.
Ning Junyan walked all the way to the door of the villa. Before pushing the door in, he suddenly held Chen Yuncheng's hand, and then he didn't give him time to react, so he dragged him and walked in together.
Grandpa Ning was in the living room watching TV news while waiting for the guests, when he heard the voice raised his head and looked at them.
"Grandpa," Ning Junyan said after entering the door, "I brought someone back."
Grandpa Ning first showed a smile and said, "I'm back." Then he looked at Chen Yuncheng for a while, and became puzzled again. He asked Ning Junyan, "Is this a girl?" He didn't quite understand, he knew that some girls would Dressed up as a boy, but the young man in front of him didn't look like a girl either.
Ning Junyan said, "No."
Chen Yuncheng was very nervous and said, "Hello, Grandpa, I'm Chen Yuncheng."
"Oh—" Grandpa Ning nodded and lengthened his voice, but he still didn't understand, so he could only greet, "Come in and sit down."
Chen Yuncheng wanted Ning Junyan to let go of his hand, but Ning Junyan intensified. He stretched his fingers between his fingers to hold him tighter, and led him to the sofa and sat down side by side.
Grandpa Ning kept looking at the two of them, and when they sat down, he asked Ning Junyan, "Didn't you mean to bring your girlfriend back?"
Ning Junyan said: "I didn't say it, I said bring back your lover."
Grandpa Ning seemed to be stunned for a moment. He looked up and down at Chen Yuncheng, and after a while he looked at Ning Junyan with a question.
Ning Junyan nodded, "This is Yuncheng, the person I told you about."
The old man was actually very surprised, but he was very well-mannered. First he nodded, he thought for a while with a puzzled expression, and then he seemed to understand, and nodded again, "Is that so."
At this time, Chen Yuncheng hurriedly gave the gift he brought to Grandpa Ning. It was a beautifully packaged pot of rice wine, and the price was not cheap.
Grandpa Ning accepted it with a smile, thanked him repeatedly, and then asked the nanny if they could have dinner, and told them to go to the restaurant for dinner.
During the meal, Grandpa Ning kept chatting with Chen Yuncheng, with a very gentle attitude, like a chat between a kind elder and a younger generation, without a single word of trouble.
Chen Yuncheng gradually relaxed, chatted with the old man while eating, and talked a lot.
Later, while Chen Yuncheng got up to go to the bathroom, Ning Junyan asked his grandfather, "Do you like him?"
Grandpa shook his head and sighed, "It's not a question of whether you like it or not, you have to think about it anyway."
Ning Junyan picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth lightly, and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time."
After dinner, they accompanied Grandpa Ning back to the living room to sit down and drink tea.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, footsteps came from outside the house, and then someone pushed in the door and called, "Dad."
The people in the living room turned to look at the same time, and saw that the person who pushed in the door was Shu Rong, and the one who followed behind Shu Rong was Ning Zhanghong who was supported by Ning Zhangyu.
The scene was instantly embarrassing.
Chen Yuncheng stood up slowly, and while he got up, Ning Junyan took his hand and stood up with him.
Seeing Chen Yuncheng sitting in the living room, Shu Rong unabashedly changed her face, and the smile on her face disappeared completely.
The brothers and sisters Ning Zhanghong and Ning Zhangyu, who were following behind Shu Rong, both looked surprised and stood at the door, forgetting that they should come in.
It was Grandpa Ning who said, "What are you doing, come in and sit when you come back."
Shu Rong looked at Chen Yuncheng and did not respond.
Ning Zhangyu said at this time, "Big brother and sister-in-law, go and sit first."
Only then did Shu Rong move her body and walk towards the sofa in the living room.
The family sat down on the sofa in the living room in embarrassment. Grandpa Ning instructed the nanny to bring a cup to pour tea, and remained silent for a while without speaking.
Tomorrow was the old man's birthday originally, and the children didn't plan to come here today, but because Ning Zhanghong was sick and was just discharged from the hospital, a distant relative who was out of town called and said that he would come over to congratulate Mrs. Ning on his birthday and visit Ning Zhanghong at the same time. Zhang Hong and the other brothers and sisters came over tonight, planning to discuss with the old man, to book two tables in the restaurant tomorrow, and not prepare at home.
Ning Zhangyu thought that Ning Zhanghong had just been discharged from the hospital in poor health, and asked her husband to drive to pick up the eldest brother and his wife.
Her husband's name is Huang Jin. After arriving, he parked the car outside the villa and asked them to get out of the car first, find a parking space by themselves, and came two minutes late.
Ning Zhangyu had met Chen Yuncheng in the hospital before. Although Shu Rong didn't tell her who this young man was, Ning Zhangyu felt that there was some unusual ambiguity between Ning Junyan and him, and they saw them again just now. Holding hands, I suddenly had a guess in the direction of my mind.
And Huang Jin came in from the outside, but he didn't know what was going on. He only saw Ning Junyan sitting on the sofa and a young man next to him, and he greeted: "Junyan is also here? Is this your friend?"
Huang Jin just asked casually, Ning Junyan raised his head to look at him, and said, "This is my lover, I'll bring him to see grandpa."
Chen Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.
Ning Junyan's attitude was very calm, and then he held Chen Yuncheng's hand again.
Huang Jin didn't react for a while, and said, "What?"
Ning Zhangyu noticed that Shu Rong's face suddenly turned pale, she hurriedly said to her husband: "You sit first, so much nonsense."
Huang Jin said, "No, what did Jun Yan just say?" He suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Ning Junyan suddenly smiled very lightly and said, "Then let me introduce you formally, this is my lover, Chen Yuncheng."
Shu Rong suddenly stood up from the edge of the sofa, and said sharply to Ning Junyan, "I think you're crazy!"
Ning Zhangyu hurriedly reached out and pulled her, "Sister-in-law, you have something to say." After speaking, she hurriedly gave Huang Jin a wink.
Huang Jin reacted and hurriedly advised: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, there may be some misunderstanding."
Ning Zhanghong lowered his head and said nothing, no one could see his expression.
Ning Junyan raised her eyes to look at Shu Rong and said, "Then you can treat me as crazy. I didn't ask anyone for approval, I just told the elders."
Ning Zhangyu couldn't help but said, "Jun Yan, don't do this, do you want to be mad at your mother?"
Ning Junyan shook his head, "I'm not angry with her, she is angry with herself. I'm thirty years old, and I can completely arrange my own life, and I'm living a good life. I don't understand why she is angry."
Ning Zhanghong finally spoke, he said solemnly: "Your mother is also for your own good."
Ning Junyan frowned: "So I don't know if I'm good or not, only she knows?"
Chen Yuncheng sat next to him, reaching out and gently pulling on Ning Junyan's sleeve.
Ning Junyan turned his head to look at him, leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Do you want to go back? Let's go then."
After finishing speaking, Ning Junyan took Chen Yuncheng's hand and stood up, and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, Yuncheng and I will go back first, and we will see you another day."
Grandpa Ning was about to nod when Shu Rong said loudly, "Don't leave! If you don't speak clearly today, no one should leave!"
