Chapter 52.2: Stars

“I’m talking about you and Cen Ning. Cen Ning is an adult now. Since you have no feelings towards each other, I won’t force you. If you really like Peiyan, go after Peiyan. Peiyan has a good family. We naturally can’t treat her badly.”

Yan Xingzhi: “Grandpa——”

Yan Xingyao: “Brother, I also think sister Peiyan is pretty good. Although I think Cen Ning is also pretty cute now, with Cen Ning growing up with us, it’s almost like marrying a sister. It’s kind of strange.”

Yan Xingzhi: “…you shut up.”

Yan Xingyao: “Oh.”

Yan Guofeng shook his head and sighed. “Okay, I don’t want to deal with you young people anymore, but this child Cen Ning… I feel I am letting her grandfather down.”

Xu Wanying: “Dad, that is easy to handle. Find a good home for Cen Ning in the future. I think that kid Zechuan is very diligent when he comes to our house. Maybe he will be interested in Ningning.”

Yan Xingzhi: “…”

Yan Guofeng took a moment to glance at him. “Oh, this has nothing to do with you, you can leave first.”

Yan Xingzhi coughed lightly, put his military cap on the coffee table, and made a loud noise, finally making everyone stop to look at him.

Yan Guofeng asked, “Xingzhi, why are you still here?”

The corners of Yan Xingzhi’s lips twitched. “Grandpa, I didn’t finish what I was saying just now.”

“What were you saying?”

Yan Xingzhi leaned back, his tone serious. “I said that there is no need to find a partner for Cen Ning, and there is no need to help. I will take care of her.”

Yan Guofeng was taken aback. “What do you mean by that?”

“What I mean is that I like her, of course.”

After class, Cen Ning went to the apartment.

Today was the weekend. She bought a few vegetables from the supermarket, wanting to cook a meal for herself.

When Yan Xingzhi returned to the apartment, Cen Ning was gazing at the pot of soup in the kitchen, waiting for it to boil. The glass door of the kitchen was closed. Yan Xingzhi took his steps lightly, so Cen Ning didn’t notice.

It wasn’t until the glass door was suddenly pulled open that Cen Ning turned her head back in shock. “You scared me to death! I didn’t even notice that you came back.”

Yan Xingzhi stepped forward and hugged her directly from behind. He glanced at the steaming pot and asked softly, “What is this?”

Cen Ning nestled in his arms obediently. “Wu… Yam and wolfberry bone soup. I learned it from Aunt Chen before.”

“Cooking it for the first time?”

“Yes.” After finishing speaking, Cen Ning turned her head and glanced at him. “Your tone seems as if you don’t believe that it will be delicious.”

“Is there such a tone?” Yan Xingzhi stretched out his hand to pinch her chin, leaned over and kissed her. He wanted to continue, but the person in his arms suddenly stretched out her hand to block his advances.

Yan Xingzhi: “What?”

Cen Ning’s face flushed suddenly. “You, do you want to change clothes?”

Yan Xingzhi had just come back from the army. There was some serious activity, and he was wearing his full set of formal military uniform. The uniform fitted his figure perfectly. His whole person looked striking, and there was a sense of… inviolable majesty.

Every time Cen Ning saw him dressed like this, she felt a little uneasy, but she also knew clearly that the identity behind the uniform was not profane.

Yan Xingzhi followed her gaze and looked at his clothes, as if he understood something. “This is not okay?”

“Yeah.” Cen Ning replied seriously.

Yan Xingzhi laughed, and he turned her around and pressed her against the cabinet. “So you don’t like it?”

Cen Ning was forced to lean back. “It’s not… that I don’t like it.”

“Then what is it?” Yan Xingzhi’s breath was getting closer and closer to her. It was clear that he was usually calm and steady, but at this moment, he was inexplicably careless and ruffian-like.

Cen Ning couldn’t stand his effortless teasing, so she made a quick decision. She quickly pecked his lips and then pushed him away when he was distracted.

“My soup is ready!”

She bluntly changed the subject.

Yan Xingzhi slightly raised his brows.

Cen Ning glanced at him guiltily. “You go out first, we will eat soon.”

“Ningning, you should get used to it.”

Cen Ning didn’t turn her head to look at him. “Hm?”

“I said, as a future soldier’s wife, you should soon get used to this uniform.”
