Chapter 407: Chapter 318 Qi Xingzhou: As if in Deep Thought

The private jet experience was simply unspeakable.

A journey that normally took several hours was compacted to around one hour.

Moreover, Jiang Ning discovered that the private jet actually flew directly into the Qi Family Villa.

There was even a helipad on the roof of the Qi Family Villa!

After the plane had stabilized, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou disembarked one after the other.

Auntie Ji, who had received the message earlier, was already waiting nearby. Seeing the two of them come down, she immediately greeted them with a smile, "You’re finally back."

"Auntie Ji," Jiang Ning called out.

Seeing Auntie Ji, Jiang Ning inevitably felt a bit embarrassed.

She had taken Qi Xingzhou such a long distance away and had been trending online so many times.

Just as Jiang Ning was about to explain the trending news of the day to Auntie Ji, without waiting for her to speak, Auntie Ji preempted, "Are you hungry? You haven’t had dinner yet, right? Come on, let’s go eat together."

Jiang Ning was indeed a bit hungry.

It seemed that every time she came, Auntie Ji would warmly invite her to stay for dinner at the Qi Family, but Jiang Ning had declined several times before due to other commitments.

This time, Jiang Ning nodded, "Sorry for disturbing you, Auntie Ji."

Auntie Ji’s smile grew even wider, "What disturbance? We can’t thank you enough for being willing to take Zhouzhou out to see the world!"

She affectionately linked arms with Jiang Ning, completely ignoring her own son standing beside her—as if she and Jiang Ning were mother and daughter, and the quiet Qi Xingzhou was someone picked up from the streets.

Qi Xingzhou, ignored, didn’t get angry.

He bowed his head, following behind the two women, his calm gaze occasionally falling on the affectionately intertwined arms of Auntie Ji and Jiang Ning, his expression thoughtful.

The three of them descended the stairs, one in front of the other.

In the bright and splendid living room of the Qi Family, the butler, seeing the three of them come down, immediately brought out the dinner that had been prepared in the kitchen.

"I’m really lucky today; it’s been a long time since someone joined me for dinner," Auntie Ji said to Jiang Ning with a smile. "Zhouzhou usually eats in his room, and his dad and brother have been busy with the company recently, eating dinner there before coming home. It’s been just me eating alone every day, so boring."

However, looking at the dishes on the table, Auntie Ji immediately said, "Today’s meal was prepared by Auntie Wang. She’s particularly dedicated to making soup and comes from a hundred-year-old lineage of royal cooks. Ning Ning, you must drink a few bowls later."

Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, "Then it seems I’m in for a treat tonight."

As the hostess, Auntie Ji naturally invited Jiang Ning to sit down first.

As Jiang Ning was taking her seat, Auntie Ji intended to sit next to her to chat and dine, hoping to deepen their relationship further.

However, unexpectedly, the moment Jiang Ning sat down, the silent shadow that had been following behind them moved even more swiftly, appearing from the side, pulling out a chair, and sitting right next to Jiang Ning.

Auntie Ji looked down and estimated the gap between their chairs to be no more than five centimeters at most.

Auntie Ji: "..."

Was this the same son who didn’t like contact with people, who would retreat thirty meters away whenever a stranger came to the house?

Having a partner really changed him.

He was starting to cherish his girlfriend.

The dining table at the Qi Family was oval-shaped and not very large.

Usually, only two people would sit on the side Jiang Ning was sitting.

With a smile, Auntie Ji took a seat opposite them.

Once seated, looking at Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou opposite her, Auntie Ji’s face lit up with an even happier smile.

It really... really looked like a scene where two young newlyweds were having dinner with her, their mother-in-law.
