Chapter 606: Chapter 604 Not Anxious_1

"Would you like to take a walk in the garden?" Mrs. Xia Ning asked.

Xia Ningxing smiled and nodded, holding her arm, "Then let’s have a stroll."

The garden was a riot of color, with bursts of fragrant scents assailing the senses, making for a lovely view that soothed the soul with just a glance.

"Nervous?" Mrs. Xia Ning gazed down at Xia Ningxing by her side.

Today, she wore a simple long dress, her ink-black hair casually tied into a lazy ponytail. Her face, pure and stunning, made her appear merely in her twenties. Who could guess that she was already the mother of an almost one-year-old child?

Xia Ningxing knew she was asking about the test tomorrow and whether she was nervous.

She shook her head, her fingers gently touching the petals, "Not nervous."

Far from being nervous, Xia Ningxing actually wanted to say she was very confident and sure of herself, but that seemed too arrogant, so she decided to keep a low profile.

"My darling daughter, I believe you can definitely come first!" Mrs. Xia Ning embraced her.

The contestant who scored first in overall performance would become the future Family Head of Ning Family.

"I’ll do my best!" Xia Ningxing pledged in her ear.

After chatting a bit more, Mrs. Xia Ning was called away by her confidant to deal with some matters.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xia Ning said with profound meaning, "There will be a surprise for you later."

"What surprise?" Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing instinctively asked.

Mrs. Xia Ning raised an eyebrow, maintaining the mystery, "If I told you now, it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?"

"Yes, yes, mom is right!" Seeing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but spread her hands, laughing and crying, and didn’t press further.

Mrs. Xia Ning waved her hand, "I have to go now; if you get bored, just go back to your room."

"Okay, take care, Teacher." Xia Ningxing watched her mother’s figure leave.

Being alone in the garden was indeed boring, so Xia Ningxing soon headed back to her room.

After returning to her room, Xia Ningxing took a hot shower in the bathroom.

When she finished and opened the door, she saw standing outside...

Two men, one large and one small!

"Lu? Chuanchuan?"

When she saw the two, Xia Ningxing felt both shock and joy.

Then, she immediately thought of the "surprise" Mrs. Xia Ning had mentioned earlier.

Could this be the "surprise" she was talking about?

Xia Ningxing hastily dropped the towel she was using to dry her hair, and eagerly walked toward them.

"How did you get here?" Xia Ningxing asked, while she picked up the chubby Chuanchuan.

Seeing his mother, Chuanchuan’s little face lit up with joy, his rosy lips repeatedly calling out "mama."

Yes, the ten-month-old was already able to say a few simple words.

"Mama is here!" Xia Ningxing loved hearing the little one call her that. Her heart melted instantly, and she quickly responded, rubbing her face against his soft, tender cheeks.

Lu Tingli then raised his hand to pick up the towel she had just thrown on the rack, starting to dry her hair for her as he said, "We arrived while you were taking your bath."

"Why didn’t you tell me in advance?" Xia Ningxing looked up into his eyes.

"I brought you a surprise," Lu Tingli said with a smile curling his lips, then asked, "What’s wrong? Don’t you like the surprise?"

"How could I not!" Xia Ningxing quickly shook her head, then hugged him, "I really love this surprise!"

Lu Tingli hugged her back. "It was your mother who called me a few days ago, asking if I was free and if I could bring Chuanchuan to the Ning Family to cheer you on."

"So I agreed, but even if she hadn’t called, I would have called to ask her when the competition was and then come over with Chuanchuan."

After hearing this, Xia Ningxing felt a warm current flow into her heart, and she displayed a foolishly happy smile before tiptoeing up to plant a kiss on his cheek, "My husband is so good."

The moment her lips touched the man’s cheek, the little one in his arms gave a dissatisfied "hmmhmm," then glared at Xia Ningxing with a pair of clear and aggrieved eyes as if to question why she was praising only the father and not him.

Xia Ningxing understood what he meant and immediately chuckled helplessly, saying the same, "My son is also really good!"

After saying that, she also kissed him on the cheek.

However, before Xia Ningxing could kiss him, Lu Tingli moved the little one away.

"Lu, what are you doing?" Xia Ningxing was full of questions.

"He didn’t wash his face this morning; it’s dirty." Lu Tingli explained with an impassive face, "I’m worried you’ll get sick if you kiss his dirty face."

Xia Ningxing was speechless.

Chuanchuan, who could now understand speech, angrily sputtered in his unfamiliar baby voice, "You, you’re the one who didn’t wash, wash your face! I like..." my face.

He struggled to articulate the complete sentence, but his limited language skills at the moment meant he stammered for a long time without spitting out the words clearly.

Unable to explain himself, the little one directly started bawling at the top of his voice.

Xia Ningxing immediately glared at Lu Tingli, "Look what you’ve done!"

After scolding Lu Tingli, Xia Ningxing quickly stepped forward and took Chuanchuan back into her arms, soothing him, "Chuanchuan, baby, don’t cry, mommy knows you washed your face, let’s not bother with stinky daddy!"

While consoling, she peppered several kisses on the little guy’s cheeks.

The little one finally broke into a smile.

He even lifted his chin and glanced proudly at Lu Tingli as if to say Xia Ningxing kissed him many more times than she did Lu Tingli!

Lu Tingli: "..."

Not long after, Mrs. Xia Ning returned and then looked at Xia Ningxing with an expression that seemed to seek praise, "Are you happy?"

"Happy, so happy!" Xia Ningxing quickly nodded, then added, "Thank you, Mom."

"We’re family, there’s no need to thank." Mrs. Xia Ning waved it off, then looked smilingly at Chuanchuan, "Chuanchuan, do you recognize me?"

Despite Chuanchuan’s young age, he had inherited Xia Ningxing’s excellent memory, so he immediately nodded with a grin, stretching out his hand, and called out in a sweet, milky voice, "Great-grandma!"

"Good boy! So smart! You remember your great-grandma!" Mrs. Xia Ning smiled from ear to ear, hugging and doting on him intensely.

That night, Xia Ningxing’s family of three stayed in the guest room of the residence.

With him holding her as they slept, Xia Ningxing felt incredibly secure, as if a drifting boat had returned to the harbor.

Inhaling his pleasing mint fragrance, Xia Ningxing slept well through the night.

The next morning, when Xia Ningxing opened her eyes, she found only Chuanchuan beside her; Lu Tingli was nowhere to be seen.

She frowned slightly, wondering where Lu Tingli had gone when her nose quickly caught the enticing aroma coming from the kitchen.

The guest room was a suite, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom.

She tiptoed out of bed, made sure Chuanchuan’s little stomach was covered with the blanket, and then headed straight for the kitchen.
