Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Does Xiao Ning Have a Partner?

As soon as Ying Xiaoya saw her mother run off, she immediately sat down next to Ning Ge and muttered, "Don’t take what my mom said to heart, okay? She’s just like that, all worked up when even the emperor isn’t concerned."

Ning Ge paused mid-sip and was a bit confused, "What are you talking about?"

Ying Xiaoya puffed out her cheeks and was just about to reply when she heard the sound of keys at the front door and said, "That should be my dad coming back!"

Ning Ge quickly set down his teacup.

As soon as the door opened, sure enough, Ying Jian had returned, followed by Cheng Su and her husband, Qi Taiguo.

"Susu, how come you and my dad arrived together?" Ying Xiaoya moved forward to take the gifts that Qi Taiguo brought and placed them on the table as she asked.

"It was just a coincidence; I ran into them downstairs!" Ying Jian said with a laugh as he hung his briefcase on the coat rack.

Ning Ge greeted Ying Jian with a smile.

"Oh, Xiao Ning is here too!" Upon seeing Ning Ge, Ying Jian’s eyes lit up as well.

This person’s status was not simple at all; coming from such a distinguished family and with such connections, Ying Jian, as a politician, should be warm to him both privately and officially.

By then, Director Ying also came out of the kitchen.

Ying Xiaoya promptly introduced Cheng Su and her husband to her.

Director Ying, holding Cheng Su’s hand, exclaimed, "I’ve heard about you from Susu, and have always wanted you to come over. I’ve heard you’re busy. Let me see, you really are pretty, and standing next to Commander Qi, you really look like a perfect match!"

Cheng Su said with a smile, "Director Ying flatters me, it’s just a shell, not worth looking at."

Director Ying feigned sternness, "What Director? Call me auntie. Aren’t you and our Xiao Ya good friends?"

Cheng Su naturally understood her meaning.

With the man of the house home, there naturally was men’s conversation to be had. After some pleasantries, Ying Jian took Qi Taiguo and Ning Ge to the study to discuss men’s affairs.

And for the women, Cheng Su rolled up her sleeves and took the initiative to help Director Ying with cooking.

Director Ying had been hoping for this, said a couple words of politeness, sent her daughter out of the dining room to prepare cutlery, and squeezed into the kitchen with Cheng Su to cook.

Seeing how expertly Cheng Su chopped vegetables, Director Ying couldn’t help but praise her, "I heard you even started a restaurant, you really do have some skills!"

Cheng Su just laughed, "I’ve always been very interested in food, and I like cooking in my free time. That’s how I practiced."

Director Ying’s eyes shifted, and she said, "It’s good for a woman to cook. Whether or not a man’s life is comfortable doesn’t just depend on his career, but on the woman standing behind him. I see Commander Qi glowing, which shows how happy your marriage is, and it’s clear you must be taking good care of him."

Cheng Su smiled craftily, "Then it seems Uncle Ying is well taken care of because of your support!"

Director Ying laughed heartily and deliberately said, "We’ve been husband and wife for decades, the good and the bad are all behind us. Now, I have only one thing on my mind, and that’s Xiao Ya. This girl really has her father and me worried to pieces!"

Cheng Su uttered an ’oh’, seemingly guessing her concerns, probably about Xiao Ya’s marriage prospects!

Director Ying glanced at the kitchen door before lowering her voice and speaking to Cheng Su, "I heard you are a few years younger than our Xiao Ya, right? But she’s like an immature child, not nearly as reliable and composed as you. Look at you, you’re already married, and this girl doesn’t even have a prospect, which has her dad and me anxious, you know?"

"That’s just fate not having arrived yet. Once it does, you can look forward to serving the tea of a son-in-law!" Cheng Su offered a comforting word.

"That’s what I’m hoping for. Susu, don’t take it the wrong way, but I just want to check with you," Director Ying glanced outside, "does Xiao Ning have someone special or not?"
