75: I, Ningyang, have plenty of money!
Hold onto your wallet?
Ning Yang looked at his older sister, bewildered.
He just wanted to ask Night Ember for a favor, so why should he hold onto his wallet?
Could it be that asking Night Ember for help would cost a lot of lifespan value?
At this thought, Ning Yang not only didn't worry, but instead looked relaxed and happy.
He usually spent 80% of his time crafting equipment, so Ning Tianxiong had given him a large amount of lifespan value.
If he could get Night Ember's help by spending lifespan value, then for Ning Yang, it would be incredibly simple, not a problem at all.
I, Ning Yang, am not short on money!
Lin Du sat at the dining table, burying his head in his rice.
Listening to his wife's assessment of him, he was a little speechless and somewhat unconvinced.
Slander!
This was simply a slander against his character!
Lin Du picked up a piece of tender white fish and placed it in Ning Fengya's bowl.
"Wife, eat more fish to nourish your brain!"
"You've been using your brain too much recently, don't overwork it."
Ning Fengya's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She felt that Lin Du seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, but after pondering it, she couldn't grasp the deeper meaning... The four people at the dining table each had their own thoughts.
Ning Yang had no appetite at all. After a few simple bites, he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
All he could think about now were Night Ember and Master Tie.
"Sister, do you have any friends who can introduce me to Night Ember?"
"I'm worried that if I go to him myself, he won't pay attention to me!"
Ning Yang's face was filled with worry.
Ning Fengya shook her head, "I don't know anyone close to Night Ember."
After Ning Fengya finished speaking, Ning Fengnian, who was sitting opposite her, snorted coldly and began to mock her.
"Ning Yang, your sister isn't unfamiliar with Night Ember; she just doesn't want to help you."
"For this kind of thing, you'd better rely on yourself!"
Ning Fengnian's two sentences instantly filled the dining room with tension.
Ning Fengya put down her chopsticks, slowly raised her head, and looked directly at Ning Fengnian.
"If you have the ability, you can help Ning Yang; I can't help with this!"
"Let's go, Lin Du, bring the food back to the room to eat!"
Ning Fengya stood up from her chair and walked out of the dining room without looking back.
Looking at Ning Fengya's departing figure, Ning Fengnian's expression became extremely ugly.
Today, the high-ranking members of the Ning Family questioned his ability and authority for the first time.
Ning Fengnian was in a terrible mood. So many years of effort were about to be ruined by a few words from his own sister... Ning Fengnian was very angry. He picked up his chopsticks and turned his grief and indignation into appetite, ready to use food to cover up the anger in his heart.
He aimed at the Braised Abalone with Scallions in front of him, raised his chopsticks, and went to pick it up.
However, just as the chopsticks were about to reach the Braised Abalone with Scallions, the plate was suddenly taken away.
Ning Fengnian: ???
Lin Du held the plate and looked at Ning Fengnian with a smile.
"Sorry, Big Brother, Fengya loves this!"
Under Ning Fengnian's angry gaze, Lin Du placed all the large fish and meat on the table onto a tray, one by one.
Finally, he pushed a plate of small celery, with only a few leaves left, in front of Ning Fengnian.
"Big Brother, I see you haven't been in a good mood lately. Eat more vegetables to calm down!"
"Please eat slowly, I'll be leaving now."
Lin Du carried the tray and jogged towards the bedroom... Ning Fengnian looked at the pitiful few sprigs of celery on the plate, and two veins bulged on his forehead.
"Lin Du, you bastard!"
"How dare a Live-in Son-in-law be so arrogant!"
...Lin Du had originally worried that his life would be difficult after Ning Fengnian returned.
Now it seemed the situation wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
The conflict between Ning Fengnian and Ning Fengya had given Lin Du a lot of breathing room.
Before, Ning Fengnian and Ning Fengya hadn't been at odds, and Lin Du faced their combined oppression.
Now the situation was different.
There was already a rift between the siblings.
From now on, as long as he firmly stood by Ning Fengya's side, he wouldn't have to fear Ning Fengnian too much... Lin Du returned to the bedroom with the plate.
In the bedroom, Ning Fengya was sitting by the bed, gently rubbing her forehead with her hand.
Seeing this, Lin Du put down the plate and gently began to massage Ning Fengya.
Through the matter of Zhao Yunsou and the Peak of the Forbidden City, Lin Du had seen Ning Fengya's unfathomable depth.
This woman's intelligence was simply too high.
To live more comfortably in the Ning Family in the future, and to prevent Ning Fengya from noticing anything, Lin Du pleased Ning Fengya as usual.
His hand movements were gentle yet firm, and waves of warm air helped relieve Ning Fengya's fatigue.
Soon, Ning Fengya's brows relaxed.
"Wife, are you tired from the game recently?" Lin Du whispered into Ning Fengya's ear.
"Mm!"
"Rub the left side."
Lin Du carefully massaged step by step according to Ning Fengya's request.
Ning Fengya was in a semi-reclining position on the bed, and Lin Du sat cross-legged behind her, with most of Ning Fengya's body leaning against Lin Du's... The light in the bedroom was somewhat dim.
The faint fragrance from Ning Fengya's hair lingered in Lin Du's nostrils.
Lin Du's head slowly moved forward, looking down, and the scene immediately came into view.
Not only was Ning Fengya beautiful, but her figure and temperament were also amazing!
When God created humans, who knows how many people's virtues were gathered in Ning Fengya.
Ning Fengya could truly be called peerlessly beautiful!
As he watched, Lin Du became restless.
Ning Fengya slowly opened her eyes, and even though her back was turned, Lin Du still felt immense pressure.
The air in the bedroom seemed to solidify, and Lin Du's heart was in his throat.
The last time this happened, Lin Du was beaten by Ning Fengya for an hour and starved for three days.
With the situation recurring today, Lin Du was truly scared... As Lin Du waited in fear, Ning Fengya spoke coldly.
"Save your energy first!"
"If you can't exert yourself when needed, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Get out!!"
Ning Fengya roughly ordered him to leave.
How could Lin Du dare to hesitate? He immediately bowed and fled towards the door... Ning Fengya turned her head and stared at Lin Du's retreating back.
Only when Lin Du disappeared from the room did she slowly withdraw her gaze.
"Since your figures are so similar, then from now on, all of Night Ember's debts will be counted against you."
