Chapter 149 It Will Be Yours Sooner or Later
After returning home, Ning Yi went to answer the video call from her grandmother, while Ji Yan went to heat up the dishes.
"Little Yi, let Grandma take a good look at you."
"Our little Yi has gained a bit of weight compared to before, but that's what makes her look better," the grandmother said happily.
Ning Yi smiled and said, "I eat well every day, and Grandma should eat well too."
She eats delicacies every day now, and Gu Ai always makes her take supplements and such. In addition, she likes to eat, so Ning Yi's originally small appetite has been stretched out a bit.
Grandma said from the other end of the line, "I just had a video call with your mom and the others yesterday. I heard you went out to play with Xiaoyan?"
Ning Yi nodded and said, "Yes, he just finished his work recently, so we came out together to escape the heat."
Grandma smiled and said, "That's only right. We don't usually have much time together. When we do have time, we should spend some time together and see Xiaoyan."
"His grandmother also talked to him."
Ning Yi glanced at the kitchen while holding her phone. Ji Yan was just bringing out the dishes and placing them on the table. He felt Ning Yi's gaze and looked over.
Ning Yi, holding her phone, stood up and walked towards Ji Yan, then said to the screen, "He's cooking right now."
"Grandma wants to see you via video," Ning Yi whispered to Ji Yan.
Ji Yan naturally walked to Ning Yi's side, bowed slightly, and smiled at her grandmother in the camera's view, saying, "Hello, Grandma."
When Grandma saw Ji Yan, her smile deepened: "Little Yan, how have you been lately? An Yuan and the others said you've been quite busy with work. Don't overwork yourself."
Ji Yan replied, "I know, Grandma. I was quite busy recently, but I had some free time, so I brought Xiao Yi out to play."
Grandma nodded and said with relief, "Seeing how well you two get along, I'm relieved."
"On another note, it seems that letting Xiaoyi return to China was a good thing."
Grandma looked at Ning Yi and then at Ji Yan, saying, "Xiao Yi has changed a lot since she returned to China, but that's a good thing. Before, Xiao Yi was introverted; all she did was play the violin. She didn't like talking to outsiders, and she was also frail, so I didn't dare let her travel far."
“In the past, I would accompany her to some competitions. Her mother originally wanted her to return to China, which worried me quite a bit, but since Xiaoyi was willing, I naturally wouldn't force her.”
"Looking back now, returning to China was indeed a clear choice."
Ning Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of unease, but she quickly replied, "The atmosphere at schools in China is great, and everyone is very welcoming. Besides, I'm all grown up now, so things are naturally much better than before."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. After I got home, my mom kept finding all sorts of nourishing foods for me, so naturally my health is getting better and better."
It must be said that at first she really felt the fragility of this body. Fortunately, she loved to eat, so she was willing to try a lot of food. Over time, this body did get much fatter than before.
However, her poor health is congenital, and she is still more prone to illness than the average person, especially in winter, when she catches a cold every two weeks.
It can be said that her personality is not similar to the original Ning Yi. She had heard some stories about the past Ning Yi from Gu Ai and Ning Anyuan, so she could roughly guess the original Ning Yi's personality. She did not dare to show too much difference from the past.
However, she is not the same person as before, so the changes are quite significant.
Ji Yan chatted with Ning Yi and her grandmother for a while longer before hanging up the video call.
"Go wash your hands and eat. I'll bring out the last two dishes," Ji Yan said to Ning Yi.
Ning Yi nodded, glanced at him twice, and then went to wash her hands.
After Ji Yan served Ning Yi her meal, the two of them sat down in the dining chairs.
As Ji Yan helped Ning Yi pick up some food, he said, "It sounds like you've changed quite a bit since before."
Ning Yi paused in her chopsticks-holding motion, a shiver running through her heart.
Ji Yan raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on her: "You didn't seem like someone who didn't like talking to outsiders back then."
Ning Yi chuckled dryly twice: "I already had a bit of admiration for you, so naturally I treated you differently."
Ji Yan raised his lips slightly: "Is that so?"
"Besides, I used to always worry my family. Now that I'm older, I naturally think about things more, and of course I want to become better and better," Ning Yi said, taking a bite of her food and glancing at him.
Ji Yan nodded: "Eat more, I'll take you golfing tomorrow."
Ning Yi's eyes lit up: "Golf? I've never played it before."
"I'll teach you then," Ji Yan said as he helped Ning Yi serve the soup.
After they finished eating, they rested in the living room for a while before returning to their room.
She really liked the style here; both the exterior and interior designs of the houses were beautiful, and she couldn't help but wander around for quite a while today.
"You like this kind of house?" Ji Yan asked.
Ning Yi nodded: "It's a very pretty garden house, and the design style here is also very unique."
Ji Yan got up and took a box of keys from the bedside table. There were three keys inside. He took one of the keys and handed it to Ning Yi: "You can come whenever you want from now on."
"At that time, we can also buy a house like this in a neighboring city."
Ning Yi opened her mouth in surprise: "You're just giving me the key?"
"No need, no need, there's no need for that. Where would we find so many houses to live in? Besides, you paid for it."
Is this how the wealthy spend their money? Buying a house is so casual.
Ji Yan took Ning Yi's hand, placed the key in her palm, and said to her, "Isn't what's mine yours?"
"Take it, I'll give it to you sooner or later."
Ning Yi stared at Ji Yan, their eyes met, and she felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.
After a moment, Ning Yi smiled and said, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
