The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

er.

“What’s the matter?”

Her expression was as calm and cold as ever, with a layer of invisible estrangement.

For some reason, when she encountered those clear peach blossom-shaped eyes of black and white, the words in her throat suddenly could not come out.

“Nothing, nothing…” Ye Ci muttered.

“You haven’t been back for a long time.
Father, Mother, and Xiao Cheng miss you very much.”

After she had finished speaking, she saw that Ning Li seemed to be smiling.

However, upon closer inspection, that smile disappeared again, as if it had only been an illusion.

“Is that so?” Ning Li asked faintly.

At the same time, she pushed the door open and pushed her luggage in.
It seemed that she did not have any intention of listening to Ye Ci’s reply.

It was merely a perfunctory sentence.

Click.

The room door closed.

Ye Ci stared at the door for quite a while, her motions surging within her eyes.

In the end, she did not say anything and turned back to her room.

She sent a message to Ye Ming and Su Yuan, saying that Ning Li was back.

…

Ning Li took a nap and went out at three in the afternoon.
She took a taxi to the rented house.

She did not return to the Ye family until seven in the evening.

The food on the table was very sumptuous.
Ye Ming and the others were all there but were not eating yet.

They seemed to be waiting for her.

As expected, the moment he saw her, Ye Ming waved his hand.

“Ning Li, so you’re back? Come and eat.”

Ye Cheng rolled his eyes.

He really did not know why the whole family was waiting for Ning Li here!

However, the atmosphere at home these few days had not been good, so he did not dare to make a scene.

Ning Li raised her eyebrows slightly.

Such a big scene was really rare.

She walked over with a normal expression.

Ye Ming said, “We’re all family.
We weren’t able to have a meal together this New year’s Eve, so this meal will be your welcome home.”

Family.

The corners of Ning Li’s lips curled up into an extremely faint smile.

“Thank you, Uncle Ye.”

…

There was a subtle atmosphere during the meal.

Ye Ming spoke a little more and asked Ning Li several questions, most of which were about her spending the New Year in Beijing.

Ning Li picked her answers carefully, purposely evading some of his questions.

After a meal was, there was nothing more Ye Ming could ask.

Only then did he realize that Ning Li was more difficult to deal with than he had thought.

However, that was not the point.

After dinner, Ye Ming called Ning Li and Ye Ci to the study.

Su Yuan did not understand.
However, this was Ye Ming’s decision, so of course, she would not object.

Ning Li put down her chopsticks and got up to go upstairs.

Ye Ci followed closely behind.

“Sister Ning Li, please wait for me.”

…

In the study.

Ye Ming sat on a chair, with his arms crossed.

“Ning Li, Lil Ci, please sit.”

Ning Li did not move.

“Uncle Ye, if you have something to say, just say it.”

Ye Ming choked for a moment, but he looked at Ye Ci next to her.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.

“I already know about what happened at the Winter Camp.”

Ning Li’s expression was calm as she waited for his next sentence.

Ye Ming hesitated.

“Ning Li, I invited you here today because I have something to ask you.”

“Lil Ci said that you helped her write two notebooks.
Is that right?”
