Ruan Liuzheng effortlessly replied to every query, but inside she sighed. Apart from her and Ning Xiang, who else did Ning Shouzheng even talk to?
Usually, feasts ended when the wine ran out and everyone had their fill of fun, but today's meal felt like every conversation had been drained dry.
At last, seeing how miserably Ruan Liuzheng was responding, Ning Zhiqian asked Ning Xiang, "Are you full?"
"Yes, Daddy," Ning Xiang nodded.
"Then let's get the bill," he glanced towards Wen Yi, waiting for her response.
"Let's pay," Wen Yi also put down her chopsticks.
"I'll take care of it," Ning Shouzheng volunteered readily.
Ning Zhiqian didn't hesitate and stood up, saying, "Ning Xiang, go home with grandma."
Ning Xiang looked up at him like a little adult. "Daddy, are you taking Mom home?"
"Yes," he said, then addressed her, "Let's go."
