Chapter 536 - 417: Ming Chao with a Head as Big as a Bucket
When Ning Yi and Ming Jinxin came downstairs after changing clothes.
Everyone downstairs felt that they were seeing a dazzling, magazine-cover-ready Director Ning.
How should I put it?
He just mentioned that he was going upstairs to try on the new jacket his daughter bought him, but he didn’t say he was going to give himself a full makeover upstairs.
Fashionable Director Ning—truly—in full gear.
Because the Ning Yi coming downstairs was a completely different image from the one before he went upstairs.
Before going upstairs, he was wearing a plain set of loungewear with a beige apron over it, his hair still in a sleep-induced mess from the morning.
As he was coming downstairs, not only was he wearing the brown leather jacket Ning Youguang bought him, but underneath he had on a black cashmere turtleneck, changed into a brand-new pair of black cropped pants, and donned a pair of trendy and cool new casual shoes, white socks... and he was also wearing a casually stylish bracelet and ring, and his hair had been styled anew.
He looked at least ten years younger.
"So stylish! Dad."
With such a dazzling look, every pore of Dad’s was exuding a vibe that begged for praise.
Of course, Ning Youguang would compliment him enthusiastically.
When her compliment came out, Director Ning’s face bloomed with joy.
"Your Aunt Ming styled me, does it look good?"
"It looks great." Ning Youguang liked Ming Jinxin behind him, "Auntie has fantastic taste."
"Dad looks so handsome." Little Ning Youyu chimed in effortlessly.
Shi Wangyue and Ming Chao, being two reserved CEOs, would only shyly compliment their stepfather (father-in-law).
"It suits you well." Ming Chao.
"But it’s a bit thin to wear now." Shi Wangyue said hesitantly.
"Not thin at all." Ning Yi pulled his hands out of his pockets, moving them about, and said with a cheerful smile, "This jacket may look thin, but it’s genuine leather, nice and warm."
Shi Wangyue’s elegant face finally showed a relieved expression.
After showing off his new look and receiving a heap of praise.
Director Ning went back to the room to change into his previous loungewear.
In the kitchen, there were still many meatballs waiting for him to fry.
On New Year’s Eve, when the father-in-law was personally cooking, Shi Wangyue, being the best cook in the family, certainly wouldn’t let him busy himself alone in the kitchen.
So, when Ning Yi changed back and returned to the kitchen, he immediately followed him in.
When Youyou came, the meatballs in the kitchen still had a strong allure for Ning Youyu.
"Sister, let’s go eat meatballs." He stood in front of Ning Youguang, his round eyes inviting her.
His pale, tender face showing an expression of craving that was almost drooling.
"Sure."
It’s New Year’s, you definitely can’t leave the kid craving.
Ning Youguang chuckled to herself.
She had never seen her dad fry meatballs, and indeed was quite interested to watch.
Also, she had never seen her classmate fry meatballs, thinking it could be fun to watch together.
"Youyou, don’t go, it’s oily and smells strong." Hearing the siblings’ dialogue, Ming Jinxin spoke up timely.
"It smells so good." Ning Youyu retorted to his mom.
"Sister is a girl, what if she goes and gets oil splashed on her face?" Ming Jinxin explained to Ning Youyu.
"Huh?" Ning Youyu’s little head couldn’t grasp it.
"Auntie, it’s okay, I’ll stand farther away." Ning Youguang stood up, holding her brother’s hand, "I’m not going anywhere today, getting a bit of oil smell on me is fine."
"Then be careful, don’t get burned." Ming Jinxin reluctantly stopped urging them.
...
After Ning Youguang led Ning Youyu by the hand into the kitchen.
Ming Jinxin’s expression visibly changed.
Ming Chao, sitting opposite her, was thrown off by his mom’s eyes brimming with dissatisfaction.
His temple twitched, "...Mom?"
But Ming Jinxin ignored him, just staring at him discontentedly for a moment, then gracefully stood up, taking the new bag Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue bought her into the cloakroom.
"I’m going to look in the mirror."
Ming Chao: "..."
...
The Ning family’s meatballs were not yet finished frying, and a slightly late breakfast began.
At the dining table.
Ning Yi held up his glass with a face full of emotion, "The joy of New Year’s is having family gather together."
"Cheers, Happy New Year." Ming Jinxin smiled broadly, leading everyone in the Ning family to raise their glasses together.
After a sumptuous breakfast.
Ning Youyu was the first to leave the table, dashing back into his room.
