Chapter 407: Chapter 407 Ning Mengyao’s Sweetness

"Mr. Ning, why does it seem like you’re so happy today? Is there something joyful you’d like to share?"

The company secretary, looking at Ning Mengyao who wore a smile on her face.

The secretary couldn’t help but mutter softly to herself.

The woman who usually presented herself as a cold-faced queen seemed unusually different today.

"Something joyful?"

Ning Mengyao, still signing various documents, looked up puzzled.

"It’s the good thing that’s had Mr. Ning smiling all day."

The secretary playfully pointed to the corner of her mouth.

Ning Mengyao, confused, turned her head to glance at the closed display screen.

In its reflection, she only then noticed that the corners of her mouth had been turned up all along.

This smile had become a part of her subconscious.

She hadn’t even noticed it.

Thinking back now, she had been smiling all day.

Wasn’t that a bit silly?

"Stop talking nonsense. I’m just in a good mood, that’s all. Hurry up and distribute the documents, and remember, I have some important matters to deal with tonight. Anything else will have to wait until tomorrow, got it?"

She pushed the documents back to the secretary.

Ning Mengyao tried to keep a straight face.

After all, she was a CEO and quite young at that.

To ensure she had enough clout, she couldn’t be too approachable.

So at the company, she kept a stern face all year round.

Behind her back, everyone called her the Ice Mountain CEO.

"Got it, but..."

The secretary smiled as she held the documents to her chest: "I still think Mr. Ning looks more beautiful when she smiles."

"Get out of here!"

She rolled her eyes at the secretary.

Ning Mengyao stretched and leaned back in the executive chair.

But at this moment, her mind was filled with Lin Fan’s image.

Especially last night when he made that promise.

He was just overwhelmingly cool.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had to take care of Grandpa,

She truly wished she could have thrown him to the ground right there and then.

So tonight, even if it rained knives from the sky,

She had to completely conquer him.

As for the future, who cares.

"Knock knock knock..."

The knocking at the door interrupted Ning Mengyao’s thoughts.

But as the door was pushed open, her smile reappeared on her face.

Because the person who came in was Lin Fan.

"Mr. Ning, are you still busy?"

Lin Fan placed a lunch box on the table.

"I’ve finished dealing with the documents. There’s a senior management meeting soon, and after that, I should be able to get off work on time. What’s this?"

The smile on Ning Mengyao’s face came with a touch of shyness.

After all, the date after work was what she anticipated the most.

"It’s Liu Ji’s xiaolongbao. I remember you said it’s been a long time since you last had them. I just happened to pass by, so I brought some for you. If I’m not mistaken, someone probably skipped lunch again, and that’s not good for your stomach."

Lin Fan said, sitting down in the chair opposite her with a smile.

He had thought about bringing flowers, but that would unintentionally bring Chu Tianyang to mind.

Such a pointless gesture of formality seemed less warming than a steamer of xiaolongbao.

"Wow, you remember that."

Upon hearing this, Ning Mengyao hurriedly opened the lunch box.

The familiar aroma hit her immediately.

Ning Mengyao, who indeed hadn’t had lunch, reached out her hand and pinched one, taking a bite.

It tasted just as delicious as always.

"Of course I remember, but the CEO needs to be a bit more restrained with his eating manners. It wouldn’t be good if others saw such unladylike behavior."

Lin Fan pulled out a tissue and passed it over with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Ning Mengyao, always so graceful and gentle, could be so open and liberated.

"What, are you regretting seeing me without any image?"

Ning Mengyao stuck out her tongue,

and deliberately stuffed the remaining half of the food into her mouth as well.

"How could I? As long as you’re willing, you could stuff ten in at once without a problem."

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao with adoring eyes.

After so many trials and tribulations, they could finally live like a normal married couple.

This sweetness filled both of their hearts.

"Stop it, how could I possibly stuff that many? I’d turn into a big-mouthed monster and look hideous."

Ning Mengyao gave Lin Fan a love-filled roll of her eyes.

That almost flirtatious look made Lin Fan’s mouth dry and tongue parched.

"I’d love even the big-mouthed monster."

"Get lost, I don’t want to be a big-mouthed monster."

Ning Mengyao pouted and said, "By the way, have you taken care of the Seven Killings Hall matter?"

"Of course, the thorns in Jiangning are all gone now. The enemy is in the provincial city, and it won’t be easy for them to send anyone to bother you for a while. After I deal with some things on my hands, I’ll take care of Seven Killings Hall and also clear up the origin of that Treasure Bead. Maybe we will even find news about your mother."

Lin Fan briefly explained the situation.

But Ning Mengyao could tell he was downplaying certain matters, which were probably full of harrowing moments.

"I’m curious now, who exactly is my mother."

With this mysterious mother of unclear origin, Ning Mengyao felt a surge of curiosity.

Just what kind of extraordinary woman was she.

"Even though I don’t know who she is, at least I can guarantee she’s definitely not a member of a scientific expedition team from Beijing. So this matter is even more baffling. Why would your mother have something related to my own background, and what does this bead represent? It seems we still have a long way to go."

Lin Fan had, of course, immediately contacted Zhao Jiaqi.

As the leader of Dragon Fang and a member of a powerful family in Beijing,

she would be able to investigate any trace of news regarding Ning Mengyao’s mother.

She had just called back, confirming the existence of a scientific expedition from Beijing but with no record of Ning Mengyao’s mother’s name.

The main purpose of this expedition was underwater exploration,

not even remotely related to a place where such treasures could be found.

"I also really want to know what my mother has been hiding."

Speaking of this mysterious mother, Ning Mengyao also felt full of curiosity.

After all, it was something she had never considered before.

"Don’t worry, as soon as there’s any news, I’ll inform you immediately. I had originally booked a restaurant for tonight, but Grandpa just called saying he prepared a meal at home and asked us to come back early, so I had to cancel."

Lin Fan knew that finding the mother was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It would not be possible to find clues quickly.

So one needed ample patience to wait.

But it would definitely not get in the way of solidifying their relationship as husband and wife.

"Eating at home is also nice; after all, it’s very convenient for resting."

The words that Ning Mengyao uttered without much thought suddenly made her heart race with embarrassment.

After all, thinking of rest, her mind couldn’t help but drift to the idea of the man and woman alone tonight.

Their bodies ready and their affections naturally flowing.

Now, there was absolutely no reason not to do something substantial.

"So tonight... I don’t have to sleep under the bed, right?"

Lin Fan licked his lips, looking at the charming person across from him.

To both, this night was to be a milestone.

And it would count as their first real time as husband and wife.

"Don’t worry, there’s no need for that tonight... you’ll sleep on the bed!"

Ning Mengyao said shyly, lowering her head.

She had already notified Yang Linglong, ensuring they would absolutely not be disturbed tonight.

After all, their wedding night had been delayed for far too long.

She had to work hard.
