Chapter 723 - 762: The Lovely Meng Xiaofei
In the spacious living room, everyone sat together chatting and laughing. Little Yifei ran around the floor, still excited about the new home. And with Meng Xiaofei playing wildly with her, the young girl was even happier.
Ning Xin’er was also here today, wearing a radiant smile that differed significantly from the past two days. Although she hadn’t seemed particularly gloomy before, her calmness was now replaced by a beaming expression, as if she’d stumbled upon something delightful.
This made Xu Yingying somewhat suspicious, but she was aware that Li Yifei couldn’t leave Su Mengxin and wouldn’t have time for anything to happen with Ning Xin’er. She asked, "Ning Xin’er, you seem to be in such a good mood today?"
Ning Xin’er’s smile deepened and she said, "I’ve met a friend. Besides you all, I don’t know many people in Mile City, so I’ve been feeling a bit lonely. Now that I have a friend to chat with, I won’t be as lonely anymore."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yingying felt a secret relief. It was indeed favorable for Ning Xin’er to have her own life sooner rather than later. Otherwise, her constant presence was a threat to Xu Yingying, unless she was driven away and prevented from coming over, which would be too heartless, especially since Little Yifei was Ning Xin’er’s biological daughter.
"That’s indeed something to be happy about. It’s always nice to encounter old acquaintances in a foreign land and make new friends as well."
Ning Xin’er nodded and said, "Yes, I will make more friends from now on."
While Ning Xin’er’s news seemed positive, Xu Yingying still couldn’t shake off her worry, unsure of the reason.
"Alright, it’s getting late, I should head home." Ning Xin’er got up to leave just after 7 p.m., and didn’t even ask Li Yifei to escort her.
This led Xu Yingying to consider a possibility—could it be the friend Ning Xin’er mentioned was a man who had captivated her? If that were the case, it would be excellent news, but it wasn’t the right time to ask her about it. She’d have to find an opportunity to inquire later.
