Transmigrating into a novel as a supporting female character: all for the sake of seducing the secon

Chapter 222 Even if we don't raise it, Xiao Yan will still fight to raise it.

In the evening, the kitchen of Ning's house was filled with a delicious aroma. In addition to the drunken crab that Gu Ai had specially marinated, there was also lotus root and pork rib soup that Yu Zhu loved to drink, and a plate of her favorite side dishes.

Wearing an apron, Gu Ai was busy running around in front of the stove. Aunt Lin helped by handing her plates, laughing and joking, "With Madam's cooking skills, Yu Zhu will probably have to eat two more bowls of rice."

Gu Ai smiled and said, "Yu Zhu has been busy with projects lately and probably hasn't been eating well. I should make sure she gets some extra nutrition when we get back."

Just then, they heard a car stop outside the gate. Ning Yi got up from the sofa and went to open the door for them.

Upon opening the door, Lu Yuzhu and Ning Anyuan were seen one in front of the other, with Ning Anyuan taking something out of the trunk behind her.

Lu Yuzhu was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms, revealing her slender yet strong wrists. She looked a few pounds heavier than before.

Lu Yuzhu smiled and said, "Xiao Yi."

Ning Yi smiled at her: "Sister Yuzhu, come in quickly."

She then stepped forward and took Lu Yuzhu's arm: "You should call her sister-in-law now, I'm used to calling her that."

Lu Yuzhu was led inside by her arm, a gentle smile in her eyes: "You can call me whatever you want, it will sound nice to me."

As soon as Lu Yuzhu entered the door, she smelled a familiar aroma: "Did Mom make drunken crab today?"

Ning Yi nodded: "Yes, Mom heard you were coming back for dinner, so she specially made drunken crab for you, saying you like it."

Lu Yuzhu's heart softened, and she looked towards the kitchen.

Ning Jian came downstairs and saw that Lu Yuzhu and the others had returned: "Yuzhu and An Yuan are back. Is it hot outside? Come and sit down."

At this moment, Ning Anyuan also came in carrying gift boxes and bags: "Dad, Xiaoyi, where's Mom?"

"I'm busy in the kitchen. I've been busy all afternoon knowing you're back." Ning Jian pointed towards the kitchen, and as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ai came out carrying a plate of drunken crabs.

Gu Ai's apron still had some soy sauce stains on it. When she saw the two people at the door, she smiled and said, "You're back. Perfect timing. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

Lu Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward to take the plate, but Gu Ai gently slapped her hand away: "No need, no need, this is hot. You and An Yuan go wash your hands first, the dishes will be ready soon."

Lu Yuzhu didn't insist anymore, and just followed Ning Anyuan to the bathroom, glancing back at the kitchen as they passed by.

Ning Anyuan said in a low voice, "Mom is always like this. When we come back for a meal, she acts like she's preparing a banquet."

Lu Yuzhu smiled and looked down: "I just feel that I'm always making Mom so tired."

After washing his hands, Ning Anyuan dried them with a tissue and turned to look at her: "Next time we'll come back earlier and help her out."

When she came out, Gu Ai was putting the last dish on the table. She smiled when she saw her and said, "Yuzhu, come quickly and try this drunken crab. This crab is plump and even more flavorful than last time."

Lu Yuzhu sat down, and Ning Anyuan picked up a crab for her and put it in her bowl. The crab shell was easily broken open, and the aroma of roe mixed with wine wafted out.

She took a small bite, looked up at Gu Aiwan, and said, "Mom, it's delicious, even better than the last time I had it."

Gu Ai smiled so much that fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. She added another spoonful of pork rib soup to her bowl: "Eat more if you like it. There's more in the pot."

Ning Jian took a sip of his drink and looked at Ning Anyuan: "Is the company's project almost done?"

Ning Anyuan was peeling crab shells for Lu Yuzhu when he heard this and looked up: "That's about it. Just leave the finishing touches to the deputy."

Gu Ai picked up a piece of green vegetable for Lu Yuzhu and asked, "Yuzhu, I heard from An Yuan that you've been going out to projects a lot lately? Are you getting sunburned? A friend gave me two sets of after-sun repair skincare products the other day, and I put them in the drawer of your dressing table in your room. Remember to take them with you when you go out."

Lu Yuzhu paused, her hand holding the chopsticks, and looked up with a soft light in her eyes: "Then thank you, Mom."

Gu Ai continued, "A girl's skin is delicate, so don't neglect yourself when you're working outside."

She turned to Ning Yi, who was eating, and said, "There's another set. I put it in your room too. Remember to take it when you need it."

With her mouth full of food, Ningyi mumbled, "Okay, Mom."

"Xiao Yi, how long will you stay after you finish your work? How long until school starts? I'll take you to school then," Ning Anyuan asked.

Ning Yi replied, "I'll stay until next weekend. School starts in a little over a week, so there's no need for you to take me. I'll have the driver take me."

Gu Ai chimed in, "Let your dad deliver it. He's handed the company over to your brother now; he just spends his days drinking tea, fishing, and playing golf."

"Also, Xiaoyi, I'll have someone clean your apartment near school beforehand, and we should also get new daily necessities. If you need anything, just let us know, and if you're short on money, just say so too."

Ning Yi couldn't help but smile; the last thing she lacked right now was money.

"Don't worry, I'm still making money right now. I won't spend that much of the money you give me, so I won't mistreat myself."

Ning Jian took a sip of soup and said, "Young people these days, especially those in your industry, all want to look good on camera. They don't even eat enough to get thin and skinny, and they still think that looks good. You must never pursue that kind of thing."

“We’ve worked so hard to get you back in shape. Your health is the most important thing. Work is secondary. If you find work too tiring, we’ll quit. Your parents can afford to support you.”

Ning Yi's voice softened a bit: "I know, Mom and Dad. I will take good care of myself. Don't worry too much about me. I don't want to be a freeloader."

Gu Ai disagreed, saying, "What's wrong with being a freeloader? You're getting busier and busier. Before, you could spend more time with us during your holidays, but now you have to go everywhere to perform. I finally understand how An Hui has been through it."

"Now, even if we don't raise them, Xiao Yan will still be eager to raise them."

Before Ning Yi could speak, Ning Anyuan chimed in, "I used to advise Ayan to retire from the entertainment industry so she could spend more time with my dear sister. But now, you two are busier than each other."

Ning Yi said, "Ayan and I are still young. At this age, we should focus on our careers. We'll be fine in a couple of years when our careers are more stable."

Gu Ai peeled a shrimp for her: "You young people have your own plans, and we won't rush you, just don't overwork yourself."

After dinner, Ningyi went upstairs to her room.

There were messages from Ji Yan on my phone.

Ji Yan: [Image] Doesn't it look like you?

The picture shows a doll with a somewhat silly-looking face.

Ning Yi couldn't help but reply: "Doesn't seem like it. How old are you to still be playing with dolls?"

Ji Yan quickly replied to the message: "I met a fan earlier, and it was a gift from a little fan who's only eight years old."

Ning Yi: I didn't expect our superstar Ji to be loved by all ages! He even has such young fans!

Ji Yan: She is a very cute little girl.

Ji Yan: By the way, I'm flying abroad the day after tomorrow to attend an event. I might not be back for two weeks. You should be at school by then.

Ningyi: I'm going back to school next weekend, so focus on your work.

Ji Yan: Okay, I'll come find you when I get back.
