Chapter 775
“What?” Night Zhen Ting frowned, “Did Chen Chen see his mommy?”
“No.” Night Jun replied with certainty, “I blocked it, he shouldn’t have seen Miss Leng’s face.”
“What do you mean should?” Night Zhen Ting shouted angrily.
“Yes, my subordinate did a bad job.” Night Jun was aggrieved in his heart, but he didn’t dare to defend himself.
“Night King calm your anger.” Night Hui advised from the side, “This matter can be concealed for a while but not for a lifetime, even if the two sides of the North and South Mid-Levels have stopped meeting recently, the day the South Sea Sea project is unveiled, Miss Leng will definitely make a public appearance in the media, and by then, all those who know her will know that she has returned!”
Hearing these words, Night Zhen Ting’s brows tightened as he asked, “What day is the unveiling ceremony?”
“The thirteenth of next month.” Night Fai replied hastily, “It’s already the 29th today!”
“That means we still have sixteen days.”
Night Zhen Ting’s knuckles tapped on the leather seat, and after thinking about it, he suddenly said to Night Jun on the phone, “Go ask Ling Yun how his health is, and if you can, come out for dinner together tonight!”
“Huh?” Night Army froze for a moment and hurriedly responded, “Yes, I’m going to ask, I’ll get back to you later!”
Night Zhen Ting hung up the phone, looking very grave, he had to get the old man to go back to M as soon as possible, so that he could properly deal with the problem at ease.
“Don’t worry, there’s still so much time left, it will definitely be solved.”
As Night Fai spoke, the night army called, “Miss Ling is not feeling well and is not able to go out.”
Night Zhen Ting was a little surprised, he thought that Ling Yun would crawl even if she did, to come and have dinner with him, but he didn’t expect that she actually refused ……
“That’s it.” Night Zhen Ting hung up the phone.
“Miss Ling is quite seriously injured, I saw her yesterday, she couldn’t even get out of bed, going out for dinner shouldn’t really be possible.” Night Fai explained.
“Let’s talk about it in a few days, take care of business first.”
“Yes.”
……
Night Zhen Ting had been busy all day outside and had put off his social engagements in the evening, wanting to go home early and spend time with his children, but it was already after ten when he arrived home.
Just as he entered the house, he saw Old Master Night and Ling Long drinking tea and playing chess in the living room.
Old Master Night was in a good mood and laughed brightly, “Hahahaha, Ling Yun, you’re really good at chess, you’re the second person who has the patience to play chess with me and can keep winning against me.”
Ling Yun put down his chess pieces and gestured curiously at the dummy, “Was the first one Zhen Ting?”
“No.” Old Master Night shook his head and sighed, “It was Zhen Ting’s mother!”
Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and scrambled to apologise, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought up your sadness ……”
“It’s okay, it’s all in the past ……”
As Old Master Night spoke, he realised that Night Zhen Ting had walked in, his earlier cordial and easy-going look disappeared and he immediately snapped his face up and questioned, “Why are you back so late?”
“Already returned as early as possible.” After a few steps, he remembered something and turned back to ask, “Are you guys hungry? Do you want to have a snack together?”
Old Master Night was drinking tea when he heard these words and froze a little.
He had gotten used to Night Zhen Ting’s indifference, and he was a little surprised when this boy suddenly took the initiative to offer to join him for a late snack.
“Sure, just in time, I’m hungry too.” Ling Yun smiled and gestured in sign language.
“Mama Rong.” Night Zhen Ting instructed Rong Ma, “Please, prepare something light, I’ll go up and change my clothes and come down.”
“Okay, Young Master!” Rong Ma hurriedly sent someone to the kitchen to prepare it.
Night Zhen Ting quickly walked upstairs.
Old Master Night looked at his back, then at Ling Yun, and asked tentatively, “Ling Yun, in the past two days, has Zhen Ting taken the initiative to talk to you?”
“He asked me out for dinner today, but I wasn’t feeling well, so I didn’t go.” Ling Yun said with a gesture.
“Is that so?” Old Master Night was very pleased, “That means that your relationship has progressed!”
Chapter 776
Ling Yun bit her lower lip shyly and gestured with a red face, “Maybe Zhen Ting was just being hospitable and didn’t mean it that way.”
“I see that he has a much better attitude this time than before, so you should make the best of it.” Old Master Night admonished in a serious tone, “This grandson of mine, he is just hard spoken and soft hearted, he looks cold on the surface, but he is actually very infatuated inside, as long as you can capture his heart, he will treat you very well!”
“Mm, I know.” Ling Yun nodded his head with a smile.
“Do you still like him now?” Old Master Night asked once more.
“Like.” Ling Yun answered without hesitation, “I told you, I’ve liked him since the first time I saw him when I was fifteen, and it hasn’t changed ……”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Old Master Night smiled gratefully.
Soon, Rong Ma had prepared exquisite Cantonese-style dim sum and congee.
The maid pushed Night Sen and Ling Yun to sit at the dining table, and Night Zhen Ting also changed his clothes and came downstairs.
The three of them sat at the table and ate. Old Master Night asked about the company, and Night Zhending responded in a casual manner.
The old lady was dissatisfied with his careless attitude and criticised him a few times.
Night Zhen Ting was a little impatient: “I’m out for ten hours during the day, can’t you leave me alone at night?”
“You ……”
Old Master Night was about to get angry when Ling Yun chucked a shrimp dumpling onto his plate, then gestured in mute, “Grandpa, this shrimp dumpling is delicious, try it.”
Her gentle smile quickly silenced Old Master Night’s anger.
“You learn from Ling Yun, how gentle you are.” Old Master Night pointed at Night Zhending and scolded, “Unlike you, you are like a lion, you want to bite people at every turn.”
Night Zhending dined in silence, not saying anything.
In fact, he really already wanted to go back to his room and rest, if it wasn’t for this invisible power to urge Ling Yun to help him persuade Old Master, he wouldn’t be able to sit for a second.
“Grandpa, I see that you don’t look too good lately, are you too tired?”
Ling Yun used sign language to make small talk with Old Master Night.
“Every day is just picking up and dropping off the children, there’s nothing to be tired about.” Old Master Night sighed, “It’s just that I’m getting old, and besides, the climate on this mountain is too humid, my bones are sore every day and I’m always out of energy.”
Hearing these words, Night Zhen Ting raised his eyes and glanced at Ling Yun, he knew that it was getting down to business.
“It’s a bit humid on the mountain, but in summer, it’s cooler and more comfortable on this side of the mountain, and the air is better.” Ling Yun gestured dumbly with a smile on his face, “But your body is not really suited to this side, I remember you looking good in Manhattan.”
“That is.” Old Master Night nodded, “I’m used to living over there, instead I’m more adapted to the climate there.”
“When I’m healed, I’ll give you moxibustion and do some Chinese physical therapy to ease it as well.” Ling Yun continued to gesture, “By the way, the old doctor you used in Manhattan before is also quite good, should we invite him over?”
“Can’t come.” Old Master Night shook his head and sighed, “Over eighty years old, not in good health, now his family won’t let him leave the country …… We even spoke on the phone yesterday, he said he would wait for me to return and give me a look, but I’m really worried that when I return, he will be gone, alas… …”
Speaking of this, the old man of the night was a little sad, at his age, what he feared the most was that the old friends around him would leave one by one.
“It can’t be? I see that Grandpa Lei is in pretty good health.” Ling Yun looked astonished.
“It was hardy before, but after a fall it’s getting worse and worse.” Old Master Night was getting lower and lower as he spoke, “I also fell two years ago and since then I can’t leave my wheelchair, before that I was able to play football with my great-grandson.”
“Old people are not allowed to fall.” Ling Yun frowned and reminded, “In fact, I think that old doctor can still get better with some good conditioning, and you too, have to receive a full range of Chinese physiotherapy.”
