early morning.

Sunlight floods the room.

Ye Ningbai was looking for suitable clothes in the closet, after picking out the clothes, she put them beside the bed, approached her, and softly called Gong Ruixuan to get up.

"Xuanxuan, I'm going to grandpa's for dinner today, if you don't get up, you'll be late." Ye Ningbai pushed and pushed the little man who was still going on, and the child didn't sleep peacefully until the early morning of last night.

"Hmm..." The light blue quilt was flipped, Gong Ruixuan groaned lazily, rubbed his eyes, and slowly opened them.Seeing that it was Ye Ningbai, she immediately sat up, her black hair messed up like a chicken coop.

"Hurry up and change clothes, we have to go out to grandpa's house quickly." Ye Ningbai put the matching clothes on the bed, and when he mentioned grandpa's house, his face was obviously darkened.

"Ye Ningbai, don't you want to go to grandpa's house?" Gong Ruixuan asked sensitively after watching his words. "No, I'll wait for you in the living room." Ye Ningbai smiled at him indifferently, walked out of the room and closed the door.

After tidying up and going downstairs, Ye Ningbai and Gong Ruixuan got into the car sent by the palace father to go to the palace.

The car turned into the black carved gate, and the huge palace villa with a lot of land came into view.Ye Ningbai's heart tightened inexplicably, this place and the people here brought her too many bad memories.

After getting out of the car, Gong Ruixuan held Ye Ningbai's hand tightly and walked up the white stone steps.

In front of the villa, a familiar figure stood there. After approaching, Ye Ningbai was deeply surprised to see that it was the palace father.

"It's hard work on the road, come in." Ye Ningbai felt uncomfortable for the first time that the majestic palace father was so warm to her.

The atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

Ye Ningbai lowered her head to remind Gong Ruixuan, "Xuanxuan, call someone."

"Grandpa." Gong Ruixuan called Gongfu obediently.

The father of the palace smiled happily, "Go in and have a look, Grandpa has prepared a lot of toys for you." Walking into the living room, Ye Ningbai's eyes touched the person sitting on the sofa, and the person just looked up, and the two eyes separated. Empty intersection.

"The guests that Uncle Gong mentioned are you." Ding Ning dressed charmingly, radiating the radiance of a star wherever he went, and straightened up with a smile.

Ye Ningbai pursed her lips and smiled perfunctorily, but when Gong Ruixuan beside her saw Ding Ning's face, she frantically broke away from Ye Ningbai's hand.

"I don't want to see her! Bad aunt!" Gong Ruixuan shouted violently, and then the palace father who came in asked suspiciously: "What's going on?"

"Xuanxuan, listen to Ye Ningbai patiently, there is no bad aunt." Ye Ningbai took Gong Ruixuan's hand and explained.

"I won't listen! You are lying! This bad aunt has come to grandpa's house to snatch Dad!" Gong Ruixuan stared at Ding Ning angrily, waving his fists in the air.

Ding Ning was baffled by his stare, what's wrong with this kid?Calling her a bad aunt in one bite?

"No one is coming to snatch Dad. Auntie just came to grandpa's house for dinner with us, understand?" Ye Ningbai continued to explain anxiously, grabbed Gong Ruixuan's waving hand, and held it tightly.

Once Gong Ruixuan's mania broke out, he would be like a raging lion, unable to listen to anyone's words.

Except Ye Ningbai.

Under Ye Ningbai's comfort, Gong Ruixuan slowly calmed down, allowing her to hold her in her arms and pat her on the back.

"You take the child upstairs for a rest first." Gong Fu walked to her side and said in a deep voice.Ye Ningbai took Gong Ruixuan's little hand and led him up to the second floor.

Downstairs in the living room, Ding Ning was very depressed by the scene just now, the palace father sat on the sofa and smoked a cigar. "Uncle Gong, what's going on?" Ding Ning sat down, turned around and looked at him with slightly frowned eyebrows.

"Tongyan Wuji, it's nothing." The palace father narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile.Nothing... what is this called?Who is called a bad aunt can it be nothing?
In front of the palace father, these words cannot be said.

She bit her lip secretly and swallowed the words back.

Halfway through the cigar, Gong Fu got up and went upstairs to see how Gong Ruixuan was doing.

In a room in the hallway on the second floor.

Ye Ningbai was sitting on the French velvet carpet, and Gong Ruixuan, who was opposite, was studying an assembly model. Hearing the knock on the door, the two looked at it in unison.Standing up and opening the door, Ye Ningbai saw that it was the palace father, and Ye Ningbai invited him in.

The father of the palace held two remote control cars in his hands, and his eyebrows and eyes lined up with a smile, "Grand grandson, grandpa has also studied this remote control car recently, do you want to compete with grandpa?"

Gong Ruixuan raised his head curiously. Father Gong sat on the carpet like a rejuvenated child, playing with the racing car with his grandson.

Ye Ningbai suddenly felt that she was a little redundant, and said lightly, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if there is anyone who needs help."

"There are servants in the kitchen, so you can stay here." Gong Fu turned his back to her, and said in a deep voice after enjoying the car racing with Gong Ruixuan.

Ye Ningbai had no choice but to sit back on the sofa next to her silently.

Grandpa and grandson had a great time playing, Ye Ning looked back and saw the palace father smiling so happily, it was hard to believe that this was the majestic and rigid head of the palace family.After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.

The servant opened the door and said respectfully, "Master, lunch is ready."

"Okay, let's go downstairs for dinner." Father Gong put down the joystick in his hand, and went downstairs with Ye Ningbai and the others.On the long dining table, Father Gong sat at the head seat, Gong Ruixuan sat next to him and Ye Ningbai, and Ding Ning was opposite.

Lunch is a traditional Chinese home-cooked dish, but it is definitely not home-cooked given the level of the chef of the Gong family.

"Xuanxuan, you, Ye Ningbai, said you like to eat fish. Grandpa specially ordered the kitchen to make it. Try it." The palace father looked at his grandson dotingly, smiling from ear to ear.Ye Ningbai put a piece of fish meat into the bowl, and after picking the thorns, put it into Gong Ruixuan's bowl.

"Thank you Ye Ningbai." Gong Ruixuan smiled sensiblely.

"This kid is really sensible, but why don't you thank grandpa for having someone prepare this big table?" Gongfu asked Gong Ruixuan jealously.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Gong Ruixuan quickly said something cleverly.The palace father laughed loudly, and patted his head lovingly, "You little clever ghost." The three of them talked and laughed harmoniously and lovingly, leaving Ding Ning aside, no matter how you look at it, it was superfluous.

"Ruixuan, do you want a drink? Auntie will pour it for you." Ding Ning picked up the freshly squeezed juice on the table and got up to pour him a drink. Gong Ruixuan turned cold, "I don't drink, Ye Ningbai said drink Sweet ones are bad for teeth."

Ding Ning's hands froze in the air, and his expression was indescribably ugly.

"Yes, yes, what Xuanxuan said is correct, children are not allowed to drink beverages." The palace father smoothed things over and eased the atmosphere.

She sat down slowly and put the juice aside.Afterwards, everyone lowered their heads to eat, the palace father raised his head to look at Ye Ningbai several times, hesitant to speak.

"Ning Bai, you take Xuanxuan to stay at home for two more days." The palace father said suddenly.

As soon as the words came out, Ye Ning's white eyebrows frowned unconsciously, she put the chopsticks into her mouth and bit it lightly, Ding Ning's eyes locked on her face, wanting to hear her response.

"You don't need it. It was agreed at the beginning that I will live with Xuanxuan, and Xuanxuan staying at home will cause unnecessary trouble." She politely refused, looked at Ding Ning, and continued: "Miss Ding is now The smash hit superstar, countless pairs of eyes are staring at her, even if she is photographed by paparazzi, she can't tell."

Hmph, she is understanding.The palace father didn't say anything more.

Ye Ningbai acted as if nothing had happened, and brought food for Gong Ruixuan.The corners of Ding Ning's mouth curled up slightly, and his smile was obscure.

In the afternoon, Gong Ruixuan was watching a movie in the projection room on the third floor accompanied by his servant. Ye Ningbai accompanied him for a while, and a servant walked up to her ear and whispered something.

Ye Ningbai was surprised, then turned to Gong Ruixuan and said, "I have something to go out for a few minutes, you stay here obediently."

"Okay." Gong Ruixuan agreed obediently.

Ye Ningbai got up and walked out of the screening room with the servant to the palace father's study, the servant opened the door and invited her in.Breathing gradually becomes tense, and heartbeat also unconsciously speeds up.

Ye Ningbai walked into Father Gong's study.

In front of the spacious and magnificent desk, the palace father sat on a baroque-style blue chair, looking over with deep eyes.

"Sit." The palace father signaled her to sit down.

Ye Ningbai's body was tense and she sat opposite to the palace father, trying to maintain calmness and asked: "You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

The palace father lowered his head and opened the second drawer on the right, took out a black satin velvet box, and pushed it in front of her, "Open it and have a look."

Ye Ningbai opened the box, and placed a sapphire necklace in the box. The luster of the gemstone alone is worth a lot, not to mention the diamonds embedded around it, shining a luxurious and stunning light.

"You, what do you mean?" Ye Ningbai asked incomprehensibly.

"This necklace was given to Qi Ming's grandfather and grandmother when they got married. Now, I will give it to you." The palace father looked into her clear eyes and whispered.

"No, I can't take it, please take it back." Ye Ningbai closed the box and pushed it back to the palace father decisively.

"You can accept it, this is what our palace family owes you." The palace father's tone was beyond doubt.

owe?Because I owe her, so I want to use this necklace to make up for it?

"Since you mentioned the word owed, then I will say what I want to say." Ye Ningbai's heart was hard to calm down, and she clenched her hands on her lap, "At the beginning, I promised to let Qi Ming and Ding Ning get married. It's because of helplessness. I have no choice, you have your own considerations, you care about the face of the Gong family, and you refuse to accept an ordinary person like me."

The palace father pursed his lips and listened to her continue without saying a word.

"I agree. Pushing the man I like into another woman's arms, I can't tell how sad I am." Ye Ningbai's lips trembled, her eyes became sore for no reason, and she restrained herself from tears.

"Everything is fine now, what you have done is definitely not something that a necklace can make up for. That's it." Ye Ningbai straightened up calmly, nodded politely, and left the study under the guilty gaze of the palace father.

At sunset in the afternoon, the palace father asked the driver to take their mother and son back.

Getting in the car, Gong Ruixuan blinked and asked, "Ye Ningbai, are you happy today?"

"Happy, of course Ye Ningbai is happy to be with you." Ye Ningbai smiled with difficulty, stroking his soft and smooth black hair.

"Then can we still come in the future?" He didn't see Ye Ningbai's strange mood and asked innocently.

Ye Ningbai nodded, "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance."
