The nights in the countryside are especially quiet.

Lu Xiao held the petite Xia Xizhi in his arms, stroking her belly with his rough hands, mumbling,

"Why haven't you gotten pregnant yet..."

"Hmm~~", Xia Xizhi was already half asleep, and when her sleep was disturbed, she hummed delicately.

......

The next morning, Xia Xizhi woke up and recalled what happened last night. She was so embarrassed that she covered her face tightly with the quilt.

Lu Xiao stood up, curled his lips, looked like he was full, and went out to work refreshed.

The week passed quickly.

Meng Lingling was in a particularly good mood because Xia Xizhi was fired.

I got up early on Saturday morning and started to cook chicken soup. After it was done, I took the lunch box and took the bus to the military compound to visit Ning Yu's mother, Wei Meilan.

"Aunt Wei, I made this early this morning. Please try it."

As she spoke, Meng Lingling opened the lunch box, went to the kitchen to get a bowl, poured out some food, and handed it to Wei Meilan.

"I was hired as an editor at the Yingcheng Lianzhong Evening News last week. I live at my aunt's house in Yingcheng on weekdays. I only heard about your illness when I got home from get off work yesterday."

"I wanted to come see you yesterday, but my mother said it was too late and she didn't want to disturb you."

"That's why I came here today."

Wei Meilan was surprised that Meng Lingling was actually hired by the newspaper based on her own abilities. It seemed that Meng Lingling was really good. She had underestimated her before, thinking that she came from the countryside and must not have much cultural background.

Wei Meilan took the chicken soup,

"You are such a thoughtful girl. Sit down now, don't stand. Auntie is not feeling well and it is inconvenient for her to get up. There is fruit in the kitchen. If you want to eat it, go wash it yourself. Don't be polite."

Then he sighed and said, "Girls are really considerate."

"The thing I regret most in my life is not having another daughter. That brat Ning Yu has never cared about me this much. I was sick for so many days, and he just asked me where I could make chicken soup... Humph."

"Brother Ning Yu is too busy with training every day. Besides, boys are not that careful. How could they cook?" Meng Lingling said with a smile.

"Well, that's true."

Wei Meilan hummed, then held Meng Lingling's hand and tried to test her with a smile.

"Lingling, it would be great if you could be my daughter-in-law..."

Meng Lingling pretended to be shy, "Aunt Wei, I also want to..."

"It's just that Brother Ning Yu might still be unable to let go of Xi Zhi. Alas, they've been together for so many years, and I don't want to ruin it..."

Meng Lingling suddenly felt lost.

Wei Meilan's eyes changed and her tone became more serious.

"There's no such thing as destruction. Xia Xizhi has a problem with her character. She'll never be able to enter the Ning family in this lifetime.

Lingling, Auntie can see that you like Ningyu too, right?

Then you should be more proactive. Ning Yu never listens to me on important matters, and I can't do anything about him.

As long as Ning Yu agrees, Ning Yu's father and I will fully support it!"

Meng Lingling suppressed the upward curve of her lips and hummed shyly.

Speaking of Xia Xizhi, Wei Meilan lowered her eyes.

Originally, she also liked Xia Xizhi very much, and she was much more beautiful than Meng Lingling.

After all, Meng Lingling grew up in the countryside, so she is a bit rustic and can't be compared with Xia Xizhi at all.

But after all, she is not the biological daughter of Meng Xingjing and Hu Xiuli.

When it comes to her son's marriage, the most important thing is the other party's family, not the woman's appearance. A woman from the countryside is not worthy of her son.

But Ning Yu's intention was to temper Xia Xizhi's temper, and it seemed that he also wanted to marry Xia Xizhi.

She absolutely could not allow this, so she had to let Meng Lingling settle down with him as soon as possible.

Just then, a car drove into the military compound.

The moment Meng Lingling saw Ning Yu in military uniform walk into the room, her face immediately turned red.

Ning Yu is the most handsome and outstanding man she has ever seen...

She must take him down!

As soon as he came in and saw Meng Lingling, Ning Yu immediately said, "You're here? I just happened to have something to talk to you about. I wanted to go find you."

Meng Lingling paused, "What does Brother Ning Yu want to talk to me about?"

At this time, Wei Meilan suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, you young people go out and chat, I'm going to sleep for a while."

As he said this, he winked at Meng Lingling, who immediately understood.

After leaving the room and entering the living room, Ning Yu went straight to the point, "Is the newspaper you're working for called Lianzhong Evening News?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Lin Feng, who came with Ning Yu, was surprised to hear the words Lianzhong Evening News.

"You're at Lianzhong Evening News? Then do you know the author of "Summer Night"? Is she a man or a woman? How old is she? I'm guessing it must be a woman!"

"I love her novels so much!" Lin Feng talked incessantly, his excitement evident in his words.

The gloom between Meng Lingling's eyebrows flashed away, she concealed the jealousy in her eyes and lied calmly,

"Xia Ye is a man, but he recently had a conflict with our newspaper and has terminated his contract. I don't know exactly who he is or where he's from."

Lin Feng cried out in disappointment, "Ah, what a coincidence! What a pity!"

Ning Yu was also a little disappointed. He chatted briefly with Meng Lingling for a few more words and was about to go upstairs to leave.

Meng Lingling suddenly said,

"By the way, Brother Ning Yu, Xizhi..."

Ning Yu frowned, "What happened to her?"

This tone made Meng Lingling feel happy instantly, but she still had to pretend to be heartbroken.

"Xizhi got married to an old man who lived next door to us and had been to prison.

I guess she is not capable of doing farm work, so she just married off so casually, which is too hasty..."

She wanted to see Ning Yu completely disappointed and disgusted with Xia Xizhi, but unexpectedly, Ning Yu didn't believe it at all.

"Oh! Impossible! You've been deceived by her. She wouldn't marry someone so easily. I know her best. She's very delicate and can't stand any hardship. How could she possibly marry a country boy?"

After saying that, Ning Yu went straight upstairs. Lin Feng paused and followed closely behind him.

Meng Lingling wanted to say something, but Ning Yu walked too fast, so she didn't have time to open her mouth and could only swallow it.

He turned around and went to Wei Meilan's room, ready to chat with her for a while, but found that she was really asleep. After waiting for a while, she still didn't wake up, so he had to leave Ning Yu's house.

Coming out of the military compound, a refined and elegant man caught her eye.

It was obvious from the man's dress that he was not an ordinary person. His every move revealed his extraordinary qualities. Even the way he smoked was particularly elegant. Meng Lingling's heart was pounding when she saw him.

She couldn't help but walk closer, and when she heard his conversation with another person, Meng Lingling's face changed.

"After all these years, you still haven't found your sister?"

The man shook his head, "No."

"Maybe I can help you find out where your sister was born."

"Yingcheng."
