Chapter 1785 -1778: Rong Ning’s Plan

He distanced himself from Su Miaoyan, finally having a moment to properly take a look at her.

Although she had reached middle age, she still maintained a delicate and pampered appearance.

Su Miaoyan was suddenly a bit dazed, “Has my Ningning grown this much?”

“Madam is joking. I am Xiao Ning, and I dare not presume upon madam.” Rong Ning’s words were humble, yet there was a coldness about him, with no concern for Su Miaoyan’s words.

Su Miaoyan felt as if she had hit a wall, regaining her composure, “Well… I got a bit excited, sorry, please come and sit in the garden, and meet my husband and daughter.”

Su Miaoyan extended an eager invitation, worried Rong Ning wouldn’t come in, she directly stepped forward, grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.

Rong Ning was extremely averse to being touched by strangers, but he couldn’t break free from Su Miaoyan’s grip several times.

Su Miaoyan, holding his hand, murmured to herself, “My Ningning has grown up and won’t let mommy hold him anymore.”

Rong Ning felt exceedingly uncomfortable, but just as he wanted to shake off Su Miaoyan, a piercing gaze from the main hall fixed on him.

As a fellow person of power, Rong Ning immediately sensed the threat, and inner strength quickly gathered in his palm.

“Mother.”

A young girl’s gentle voice, with a touch of sweetness, fell upon Rong Ning’s ears.

Rong Ning immediately withdrew his hand.𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xiao Yuntang had been called over, and from afar, she noticed her mother was jubilant. As she got closer, she saw her holding a man’s hand, and the man looked… very much like her daddy!

Xiao Yuntang was a bit dumbfounded.

The wheels rolled over the ground, Xiao Yu appeared outside the hall.

The four of them looked at each other, Xiao Yu and Rong Ning both exuding a powerful aura that brooked no compromise, like blades silently being unsheathed.

“Brother Yu, look, Ningning is back!” Su Miaoyan happily rushed towards Xiao Yu.

As she let go, Rong Ning shook off her hand.

Standing before Xiao Yu, Rong Ning greeted him openly and calmly, “Candidate Xiao Ning greets the head of the Xiao family.”

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, “No need for formalities.”

Compared to Su Miaoyan’s excitement and Xiao Yuntang’s confusion, Xiao Yu was more composed, his presence even overshadowing Rong Ning.

Rong Ning stood before this family of three, extremely uncomfortable, to the point of having difficulty recalling what he wanted to say.

When he finally wanted to speak, Xiao Yuntang had already walked up to him, seemingly a bit scared yet shy, she gathered herself before speaking to him, “May I ask, young master, is your name Xiao, with the given name Ning?”

Rong Ning glanced down at her, “Yes.”

Xiao Yuntang’s heart was swirling with emotion, usually poised and courteous, she couldn’t help but lean closer to Rong Ning, speaking softly, “My brother… is also named Xiao Ning.”

Could he possibly be her long-lost brother?

She had heard her mother mention her brother since she was young. Her brother disappeared when he was a baby, and they had never found him. But mother said that her brother was especially good-looking, fair-skinned, and obedient.

The tall and handsome man before her made her suddenly feel a bit bewildered.

Rong Ning felt something strange within, but he didn’t respond to Xiao Yuntang, instead requesting a private conversation with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu took him to the study.

Xiao Yuntang supported Su Miaoyan, feeling both anxious and excited, “Mother, I think… he is different from others.”

Su Miaoyan was deeply moved, “Mother also feels he is different. Just now, for an instant while holding him, it was like holding Ningning when he was a child.”

That kind of warmth and excitement that filled her heart.
