Chapter 421: Chapter 421 This Doesn’t Look Like a Birthday Party
Qiao Feiyu didn’t pay attention to those details; after bringing her in, he directly went into the living room with Xiaobao in his arms and with her alongside. By this time, nearly all of the Qiao Family’s relatives and friends had arrived in the villa’s living room.
Seeing this, Ye Ning immediately felt awkward and wanted to let Qiao Feiyu ahead of her put down her son so they could quietly grab a bite to eat on the side.
But at that moment, the woman directly carried her son into the center of the bustling living room, "Mom, Dad, Aning is here, and this is her son, Xiaobao."
Aning?
As soon as these words were spoken, a middle-aged woman dressed in a dark red satin embroidered cheongsam, who was surrounded by a crowd in the center, immediately lifted her gaze towards Ye Ning with a wine glass in hand.
She was a very dignified-looking woman. Although she was of a certain age, her facial features and temperament were outstanding. Seeing Ye Ning, she just stood there with a slight smile, her eyes and brows expressing a warmth and elegance that spread across her face, "So you are Aning. Come here and let me take a look at you."
Ye Ning immediately stiffened!
Is this... Mrs. Qiao? Is she asking me to come over?
Ye Ning became nervous. She glanced around, saw that everyone was staring at her, and finally, after pursing her lips, mustered the courage to approach, "Ma’am, I apologize. I came today..."
"Quite a delicate-looking young lady. How old are you this year?"
"Ah?" Ye Ning was bewildered by such a question.
How old?
Is the lady asking her age?
She was a bit puzzled, but out of politeness, she honestly replied, "I’m 23."
"23, young, that’s nice!" The lady, satisfied upon hearing her age, nodded approvingly and smiled.
Ye Ning became even more confused...
Logically, she was here to wish her a happy birthday today. With so many of the Qiao Family friends and relatives present, she was merely a friend of her son, not even an acquaintance. Why would Mrs. Qiao be so warm towards her?
While she was still bemused, Lin Yebai, who had been mingling with the guests and exchanging pleasantries with Qiao Family elders, finally sensed something amiss and quickly came over, "Mom, what are you all chatting about?"
Upon hearing her son, Mrs. Qiao immediately turned her head towards her own son, "Yebai, it’s all good..."
"Mom, go over there for a look; Uncle is asking for you." Lin Yebai was slightly panicked and quickly interjected before directing her away.
Ye Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief...
Mrs. Qiao indeed seemed a bit strange.
Just as she planned to take Xiaobao from Qiao Feiyu’s arms to get something to eat, the man who had already approached her took the initiative to hold Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, what would you like to eat?"
Ye Xiaobao had long been drooling over the delicacies, and upon being asked what he wanted to eat, he promptly pointed his little hand in their direction, "I want that."
Lin Yebai smiled, "Okay, Uncle will take you there."
While holding his small hand, his gaze turned to the woman standing in front of him, "Aning, shall we go together?"
Ye Ning had no intention of speaking to him, but since he had already come up to her and it was his mother’s home, she nodded and followed him.
"Aning, thank you for coming to my mother’s birthday party today."
