Free Web NovelChapter 42: Chapter 43: The increasingly likable Ye Ning_1
Ye Ning lifted a radiant smile. When the corners of her eyes crinkled, it carried a degree of fascinating allure. Even though she was clearly trying to please the room, there wasn’t a trace of flattery about her, making her seem naturally charming.
"Grandpa, you’ve never met me before, and still, you chose me for Mu Yeli. Aren’t you afraid of ruining your grandson’s life?"
Everyone was dumbstruck by Ye Ning’s audacity to speak that way to Mu Hai.
Even more speechless, Mu Hai responded, "I was confident in my guess, and look, the truth speaks for itself. Yeli, isn’t the bride I chose for you exquisite?"
Mu Yeli’s eyes were deeply concentrated on the radiant face of Ye Ning. Here, she had completely stolen the spotlight. She was dazzling, yet neither arrogant nor humble, neither proud nor anxious.
What’s more impressive is that she could instantly win over someone as discerning as Mu Hai.
Too lazy to speak, he leaned back leisurely, propping up his forehead with one hand, looking off to one side.
She was outstanding; an excellent liar, an excellent fighter, and fantastic at making him angry.
Mu Yeli scoffed, wondering why Ye Ning didn’t dare to curse here the way she did at home.
Seeing Mu Yeli’s behavior, Mu Hai scoffed and said, "Seriously Ning, ignore him. He’s been like this since he was young."
Ye Ning, chuckling, stood there holding back her laughter.
Mu Yeli, noticing her laughter, felt his heart chill. Seeing her pretending and acting so softly feminine here deeply irritated him.
Mu Hai waved her over to him, and as she moved elegantly, everyone’s eyes followed. In no time, it seemed as though she had taken over the field.
Her demeanor, as she boldly sat down there, was even more bewitching.
Everyone watching her couldn’t help but squint their eyes, desiring to do anything for her.
Ye Ning was not modest, comfortably voicing her desires.
"I want some cake."
Some distant cousin from the Mu family immediately brought her a freshly made cake.
"I have some right here, dear sister, have some."
Then she said, "I want some coffee."
Some woman in the family immediately handed one over, "Sister-in-law, I just had someone freshly brew this, have a taste."
Everyone hovered around Ye Ning, making Ye Zi’s face crooked in rage. freewebnσvel.cøm
How could she... How could she still be so arrogant here?
Yet, these people, what are they thinking, flattering Ye Ning like this? As if a smile from her could get them sky high.
This is simply outrageous!
However, Mu Yeli simply sat there in silence, an image of calmness and serenity. Only occasionally, his elegant eyes would dart towards his captivating wife, a slight smirk playing on his lips. Ye Zi sat silently to one side, glaring at Ye Ning, her lips pursed and discontent, her glances full of jealousy.
Mu Yeli did not miss it.
He couldn’t help but subtly compare the two women sitting together.
But honestly, there was no need to compare. Ye Ning was indeed much prettier than Ye Zi.
Her face much more exquisite.
But then again, no need for comparison. Ye Zi and Ye Ning were two different people.
No matter how beautiful Ye Ning was, she was still crude as hell.
Ye Zi had her own strengths; she didn’t need to compete with Ye Ning.
To Mu Yeli, whether one was beautiful or not wasn’t that important. He just felt that Ye Ning was unique in this aspect.
Finally, Ye Zi couldn’t take it anymore, and abruptly stood up, ’accidentally’ knocking over the coffee placed to one side.
The coffee spilled directly onto Ye Ning’s skirt.
At this, Sui Qinglan rebuked, "Oh dear, Ye Zi, how could you be so careless?"
With feigned grievance etched on her face, Ye Zi said, "Aunt...I’m sorry, I didn’t see it."
But Ye Ning gracefully rose to her feet, her gaze level with Ye Zi’s.
Now that the two women were standing together, the difference between them was even more clearly discernable. Ye Zi looked like a dull maid in comparison to Ye Ning’s flamboyant features; the contrast was simply too stark.
Ye Ning said, "It’s okay, I’ll just go change. Sister, I know it was an accident."
Ye Zi glared at Ye Ning as she lifted her skirt, caught a glimpse of a beautiful phoenix, and strolled out with an air of nobility.
Ye Ning returned to her room to change her dress.
