Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Meeting Ning Shoukai’s Parent

"Lord Yueliang, it is a pleasure to have you here." Ning Yongrui greeted Liu Longwei with respect.

Everyone was surprised. Ning Yongrui’s attitude toward Liu Longwei made them think that this man was the true deal. Lord Yueliang from Black Moon was here at their house.

Everyone began to pull their son and daughter and told them to behave. They could not afford to offend Lord Yueliang like the stupid Ning Huizhong.

"Grandfather, what..." Ning Huizhong tried to ask but Ning Yongrui turned to him.

"Apologize sincerely to Lord Yueliang." Ning Yongrui glared at Ning Huizhong.

"But..." Ning Huizhong still wanted to talk back.

"Huizhong, do as your Grandfather asks you to you." Ning Donghai scolded his son.

Ning Yongrui and Ning Donghai glared at Ning Huizhong. Under pressure from his grandfather and father, Ning Huizhong apologized to Liu Longwei.

"Lord Yueliang, please forgive me. I am being rude." Ning Huizhong bowed himself too.

"Hmm... Next time, there will be no mercy." Liu Longwei replied.

"Thank you, Lord Yueliang." Ning Yongrui was glad that Lord Yueliang was willing to forgive Ning Huizhong. "Lord Yueliang, let’s sit at the main table. You are our honourable guest."

Liu Longwei glanced at Bai Xifeng who was talking to Ning Shoukai. "No need. I will sit with my partner."

Ning Yongrui glanced at the handsome young man who had been talking to his grandson, Ning Shoukai. He did not recognize the face. He was surprised that Liu Longwei admitted someone as his partner. He thought Lord Yueliang’s partner was someone from the Black Moon as well.

"Then, your partner can join us sitting at the main table." Ning Yongrui suggested.

"No need. I will sit with Shoukai." Bai Xifeng refused.

Ning Yongrui was disappointed but not entirely. He knew that Lord Yueliang and his partner should not be forced.

Ning Zhaofeng and his wife, Ruan Chu appeared when everyone was sitting.

"I am sorry. We are late." Ning Zhaofeng apologized.

"If you know you are going to be late, why don’t you come here?" Gao Meihui said.

Gao Meihui was the wife of Ning Yongrui’s first son, Ning Chen. She was also the mother of Ning Jianguo. She disliked the fourth family because Ning Yongrui seemed to favour Ning Shoukai. She really liked to target Ruan Chu for her sickness.

"We are sorry, First Sister-in-law. It is because of me that my husband and I arrived late." Ruan Chu said.

"That’s enough." Ning Chen said to Gao Meihui.

Gao Meihui listened to her husband. So, she did not reply anymore to the fourth family.

Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei sat with Ning Shoukai’s family which only consisted of three people. Bai Xifeng glanced at other tables that had many people.

"Are they all your family?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes, they are. Well, all of my uncles have one wife and concubines." Ning Shoukai replied in a low voice.

"Oh... I see." Bai Xifeng nodded.

She disliked the word concubines because she came from a modern world where a man only could marry one woman. So, she liked men who were loyal to their wives like Ning Zhaofeng here.

"By the way, Father, Mother, this is Bai Xifeng and Lord Yueliang. They are my saviours." Ning Shoukai introduced them to his parent.

Bai Xifeng exchanged looks with Ning Shoukai’s parent. Liu Longwei did not bother to do so. Bai Xifeng smashed his shoulder. Only then, Liu Longwei looked at Ning Shoukai’s parent and nodded acknowledging them.

Ning Zhaofeng and Ruan Chu were surprised watching the interaction between Bai Xifeng and Liu Longwei. It seemed that Liu Longwei was scared to offend Bai Xifeng.

"Sir Bai, Lord Yueliang, thank you for saving my son." Ruan Chu smiled gently.

Looking at Ruan Chu’s gentle smile, she looked at her own mother. She wondered if her mother also had the gentle smile as Ruan Chu.

"Sir Bai... Sir Bai..." Ning Shoukai called Bai Xifeng several times when Bai Xifeng seemed to be lost in her mind.

Liu Longwei also noticed it. He touched her face. "Fengfeng..."

Bai Xifeng snapped back. "Oh... I am sorry. I am just thinking about something."

"What did you think about making you lost in your thoughts?" Liu Longwei asked.

"My mother." Bai Xifeng said. "Seeing Madam Ruan makes me think about my own mother."

"Owh... are we looking similar?" Ruan Chu smiled.

"No... But your aura does seem similar." Bai Xifeng replied.

Bai Xifeng had some memories of her mother before she left. In that memory, her mother smiled gently at her as her mother rubbed her hair.

"I guess all mothers have a similar aura." Ruan Chu said.

Bai Xifeng happened to glance at Ruan Chu. She could tell that Ruan Chu had an illness due to her pale face. She was curious about that. Well, she would ask Ruan Chu later. It was not a suitable place to ask about something like that.

"I heard from Shoukai that you are here for the special honey." Ruan Chu asked.

"Yes..." Bai Xifeng nodded. "I would like to take some back. I believe there would be a delicious dish to be created from the honey."

Ruan Chu laughed. "No wonder you can be close to Shoukai. You are also the same as my son. He likes to think about how to make delicious dishes."

"Mother..." Ning Shoukai felt embarrassed about that.

"What? Is your mother wrong about that?" Ning Zhaofeng asked.
