Chapter 411

At this time, in the hall, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed, talking and laughing, and the elegant atmosphere of the upper class blows towards the face.

Lin Ning stared blankly at the focus of the banquet.

Mu Shaoling's stern eyebrows, with deep mystery, attracted people's attention. Mother was standing in the center holding father's hand, Mu Shaoling and Ruan Bai were beside Lin Wenzheng and his wife, looking like a happy "family of four".

That scene hurt Lin Ning's eyes.

Lin Ning had been expecting that Mu Shaoling could take a look at him.

But no, from the beginning to the end, he only had Ruan Bai in his eyes, and his affectionate gaze had been fixed on Ruan Bai, almost never moving away.

Although the atmosphere was extremely lively, Lin Ning felt extraordinarily cold.

Lin Ning went back to the room and changed into a more ladylike and beautiful dress. When she appeared at the banquet again, it really caused quite a commotion. Lin Ning enjoys it very much, and is also obsessed with the feeling of being surrounded by rich children and stars.

She declined some men's invitations to dance, and she walked towards Mu Shaoling.

Lin Wen was talking to Mu Shaoling, the more he talked with this young junior, the more he felt that this young man was full of courage, he was beyond satisfied, and he became more determined and wanted him to be his son-in-law.

Zhou Qing talked to Ruan Bai in a soft-spoken manner. While lamenting that this girl is so talented, she also reversed her prejudice against Ruan Bai a lot.

"I'm very happy that Shaoling can attend Ningning's birthday party today." Lin Wenzheng said with a hearty laugh.

A high-ranking official of his status naturally knew that Mu Shaoling seldom attended such banquets. Today, he was able to attend his daughter's birthday banquet, which was already enough face for the Lin family.

Mu Shaoling responded lightly: "Secretary Lin is being polite."

Lin Wenzheng pulled Lin Ning, who was standing aside, to Mu Shaoling.

He purposefully wanted to create opportunities for his daughter and Mu Shaoling: "Shaoling, you and Ningning have known each other for a while, what do you think of my daughter?"

Lin Wenzheng's mind was almost entirely occupied with political affairs, he was not as delicate as Zhou Qing, and he never asked about his daughter's emotional ownership. However, he felt that his adopted daughter was so outstanding, Mu Shaoling should be attracted to her.

Mu Shaoling raised his lips with a half-smile: "Secretary Lin, Ms. Lin is a nice person, but Mu already has her own heart, and Ms. Lin deserves a better man."

Lin Ning looked at Mu Shaoling's handsome and extraordinary face, and when he heard him rejecting him in front of his parents, pain and hatred surged in his heart, and his eyes were even dimly lit. Tears.

She subconsciously turned her face away to hide her real thoughts, but the sadness on her face was clearly seen by others.

Lin Wenzheng's complexion was naturally not good-looking when his daughter was rejected in public.

He just wanted to get angry, but Zhou Qing tugged his arm lightly, and said gently: "Mr. Mu is a good-looking talent, but our Ningning is not bad, but the matter of relationship depends on fate after all. Wenzheng, children If we have our own considerations and choices, we should not interfere so much."

Zhou Qing's words made Lin Ning smile extremely reluctantly.

Her lowered eyes seemed to be trying her best to hide some kind of emotion that was on the verge of explosion.

Suddenly, a rough voice came in: "Young Master Mu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

When Lin Ning heard this familiar voice, his whole body felt like he had been electrocuted, and his heart beat wildly. When she looked up and saw Xue Lang appearing in front of her parents, she turned pale with fright.

Xue Lang looked at Mu Shaoling contemptuously, and looked him up and down unfriendly with critical eyes.

The man Lin Ning likes is this handsome boy?

Except for this face like a crown jewel, tsk, everything else is useless!

"Mr. Xue, I have admired your name for a long time." When Mu Shaoling saw that it was Xue Lang, he looked at him with provocative and hostile eyes. A trace of surprise flashed through the man's refined and gentle eyes, but he hid it well.

Xue Lang has been in the army all year round, and the background behind him should not be underestimated. He is extremely insidious and cunning, and his methods are ruthless, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity, and can jump up and bite anyone anytime and anywhere.

Mu Shaoling has always kept a respectful distance from such people.

Two men who were also standing at the top clasped their big hands together.

One pair is fair and flawless, as perfect as a work of art being exhibited; the other pair is full of blue veins, shocking like dried tree roots.

The eyes of the two men competed in the air, and even Ruan Bai felt the oppression.

She endured the vomiting sensation in her stomach, but she still frowned slightly uncomfortable.

"Miss Ruan, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Ning noticed Ruan Bai's strangeness, she held back her hatred, came over to help Ruan Bai's arm, and asked falsely, "Do you want to go to the room to rest first?"

Lin Ning was wearing a slanted-shoulder dress with wide butterfly sleeves. When her arm patted Ruan Bai's back, Ruan Bai only felt a pain in his head, as if a few hairs had been pulled out.

She glanced at Lin Ning vigilantly and suspiciously, and saw her blinking innocent eyes, which seemed to be full of concern for herself. Even though he knew that she was lying, Ruan Bai couldn't say anything under the eyes of everyone.

She could only wave her hand to Lin Ning and say, "Thank you, Ms. Lin, for your kindness. I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable. Just take a rest."

"Uncomfortable? Is it there?" Lin Ning's heart was full of alarm bells, and he immediately suspected that Ruan Bai felt nauseous and retched, maybe he was pregnant.

Ruan Bai shook his head: "Miss Lin thinks too much. Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I broke my stomach after eating at noon. Now I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. It will be fine after I go back and take some stomach medicine."

She subconsciously didn't want Lin Ning to know the fact that she was pregnant. Not for any reason, just for a woman's inexplicable intuition.

Her intuition told herself that if Lin Ning knew that she was having a baby, her baby might be unsafe.

Only then did Lin Ning feel relieved, but she still had some doubts, and continued to tentatively say, "Are you feeling sick to your stomach? I also had a bad stomach a few days ago. I went to the hospital to get some stomach medicine, and I still have some. That kind of stomach medicine is very effective. Miss Ruan, I will ask Sun Ma to get you stomach medicine. After you take it, your stomach will be much better. Sun Ma, go to the drawer in my room on the second floor to get stomach medicine, Miss Ruan She is not feeling well, let her take medicine to relieve it..."

Lin Ning called the nanny Sun Ma who was waiting by the side, and asked her to go upstairs to get the medicine, with a tone that could not be refused.

Ruan Bai's heart tightened, and he couldn't help clenching his fists: "Miss Lin is too polite, my health is much better now, and I don't need to take medicine. I am very afraid of taking medicine. Even if I am sick, I would rather bear it than take medicine. .”

The suspicion in Lin Ning's heart became more and more intense. Her tone was very gentle, but with an unnegotiable sternness: "How can you do it without taking medicine? You came to our Lin's house to attend my birthday party. When you come, you will be healthy and healthy. Time has to be intact. Even if it's not you, so are the other guests."

Her understanding won a burst of praise from the surrounding guests, Ruan Bai was really helpless, how could she take medicine casually when she was pregnant.

Seeing that Sun Ma was about to go upstairs to get stomach medicine, Ruan Bai's nervous heart was about to jump into his throat...
