Chapter 206 The Origin of Childhood

Thinking of the reason for their previous divorce, Shen's mother asked tentatively, "Why did you and Huaijing divorce in the first place? I remember you two playing when you were young..."

Ning Xi only vaguely heard the words "child", and she frowned.

At this time, the roar of a car outside the door interrupted her thoughts.

Then Shen Yunyan's slightly guilty voice came in, "Huaijing, if I suddenly ask you to come to my house as a guest, will it delay your work?"

The man responded in a low and indifferent voice.

The moment she heard the two voices, Ning Xi put down the water glass and said, "Auntie, I'll leave first if I have something else to do."

"Are you leaving now?"

Seeing Ning Xi suddenly asking to leave, Shen's mother was a little surprised.

"Well, I was planning to go back to City A today, and I have to go back and pack my things."

With that said, she picked up the bag placed on one side, stood up and prepared to leave.

"Let's stay and have dinner together."

Shen's mother hadn't seen Ning Xi for a long time. She saw her leaving after chatting for a few words, so she reluctantly persuaded her, "I still remember that you loved meat when you were a child, so you prepared a table full of dishes."

While the two were talking, Shen Yunyan and Gu Huaijing also walked in from the door.

Hearing his mother talking softly to someone, without even noticing that she was back, Shen Yunyan pushed the door open and walked in, "Mom, who are you talking to? Even when I came back -"

The moment the door is opened.

When Shen Yunyan saw Ning Xi standing next to her mother, her coquettish words stopped abruptly.

Why is she here?

Ever since Shen's mother met Ning Xi at the birthday party last time, Shen's mother had always talked to her about wanting to see Ning Xi, and she had always mentioned things about her childhood.

Thinking of her always talking about those things——

Shen Yunyan felt a little panicked.

A thin layer of sweat broke out in the hand holding the gift box. She looked at Mother Shen reluctantly, "Mom, you invited Miss Ning to our house and why didn't you say anything to me?"

"I'm inviting someone home as a guest. Do I still need to tell you?"

Mother Shen glared at her sweetly, "And you don't come back often. Even if I tell you, you still won't come back with me to entertain guests."

Noticing Gu Huaijing behind her, Mother Shen was surprised and said, "Why did Huaijing come with you today? He came as soon as he came. Why did he still take things?"

Shen Yunyan glanced at Ning Xi without any trace, then moved a few steps in the direction of Gu Huaijing, and said with an intimate smile, "Mom, Huaijing and I are getting married."

"Are you two getting married?"

After hearing this, Mother Shen immediately smiled, "When did this happen and why did you tell me?"

Ning Xi did not miss Shen Yunyan's gaze just now.

A faint sarcasm flashed in her eyes, and she turned to Mother Shen, "Auntie, since your daughter and son-in-law are back, I'll leave first."

After saying that, she walked around Shen Yunyan and Gu Huaijing and prepared to leave.

but--

The moment she passed by, Shen Yunyan suddenly said, "Miss Ning. Today is a great day, why don't you stay for a meal."

Ning Xi paused slightly and met her eyes with side eyes.

Although Shen Yunyan was afraid that Ning Xi would remember things from her childhood, compared to what the person behind her asked her to do, she was even more curious about what Ning Xi had investigated now.

Mother Shen didn't notice the surge of air between the two of them.

"Yes, Xiao Xi, just stay and have a meal together before leaving. After the meal, I will ask the driver to take you back to pack your luggage."

Ning Xi was not interested in being a witness to Gu Huaijing and Shen Yunyan's engagement.

She refused again, "Auntie, I really don't need it. I have to go back to City A, so it's not convenient for me to stay longer."

Hearing that Ning Xi was going back to City A, Shen Yunyan and Gu Huaijing, who had been silent all this time, both looked at her.

Shen Yunyan didn't expect that she would go back.

Does that mean she has given up investigating who the person behind it is?

This thought flashed through his mind, and the tension in Shen Yunyan's heart relaxed instantly.

She said directly without thinking, "Then it's even more important to have a meal here. Miss Ning, my mother has been thinking about you for a long time and always says she misses you."

"And - you can be regarded as a witness to Huai Jing and I's love."

The moment the word "love witness" appeared, Ning Xi suddenly felt a little physiologically nauseous!

From the moment she married Gu Huaijing, the words Shen Yunyan were like a curse, lingering in Ning Xi's ears all the time.

She was also the trigger for the final divorce.

Looking at Shen Yunyan with a hypocritical face, Ning Xi suddenly wondered how shameless she could be.

"Okay."

She suddenly nodded in agreement, "Ms. Shen is right. As a witness who has witnessed your love and engagement all the way, it seems that it is okay to stay for a meal."

Ning Xi smiled slightly and put her bag back on the table on one side.

"Auntie, please excuse me."

Seeing the undercurrent between the two of them, Shen's mother finally smelled something unusual. Was there some misunderstanding between the three children?

Why do you feel so weird?

With this doubt, Mother Shen hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare meals.

Within a moment, several exquisite meals were placed on the dining table.

Ning Xi was sitting alone, while Gu Huaijing and Shen Yunyan were sitting side by side opposite her. Shen's mother was sitting at the main seat of the dining table, talking and laughing.

"I'm really happy to see you three sitting together again." Mother Shen looked at them with emotion, "I still remember that you also liked to play together when you were young."

"Xiao Xi was only four or five years old at that time, but she was very naughty. She broke a lot of your grandpa's things by jumping up and down. You even took Huaijing to eat herbal medicine secretly. When your grandpa and I caught you, you pinched your waist. He said that you can prescribe medicine, that you will be better than your grandpa in the future, and that you will become a famous doctor."

Memories of childhood.

The picture in Ning Xi's mind was blurry, but she did remember that when she was a child, she took a little boy with a runny nose to eat herbal medicine, saying that these herbs would cure his runny nose.

She always thought it was the chubby guy next door, but... was it Gu Huaijing?

Ning Xi frowned. Did she really meet Gu Huaijing when she was a child?

The idea just fell into place.

Mother Shen continued with a smile, "Yunyan was relatively weak at that time and was sick all day long. The children in the alley bullied her, but it was Xiao Xi who stepped in and beat them."
