Married To The Male Lead's Father

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Three

After waking up at noon, Jiang Ningbao held Duke Ding's arm with a bright face and went to Thriving Joy Hall to have lunch with Old Madam Xie.

The lunch was rich and exquisite.

After twenty eight years, she could finally eat lunch together at one table with her son. Old Madam Xie was moved as she picked the dishes for her son with delighted eyes.

"A'Heng, this crispy skin roasted duck is the head chef's specialty, you try eating."

Duke Ding was rather introverted but his eyes showed delight.

"Mother, you should eat more."

Old Madam Xie nodded with a wide smile and looked at Jiang Ningbao and smiled, saying, "Ningbao, I specially tell the kitchen to make these soups to enrich your blood. You should drink more later. "

"......"

Jiang Ningbao smiled faintly as she nodded and put the old madam's favorite food in her bowl and spoke some words that made the old madam happy. In the corner of her eyes, she glanced at her newly gained son, Xie Jingyi who ate his lunch silently and the aura on him was colder and gloomier than before, causing her brows to lower.

Ink conscience, no heart, black heart..... See how he decipher it.

On that note, the meeting gift was something Jiang Ningbao prepared for poking at Xie Jingyi's personality.

Actually, she wanted to write 'heart' on a paper but thinking of 'sweetheart' made Jiang Ningbao disgusted. If she was misunderstood by Xie Jingyi, it wasn't nice so she wrote 'conscience'.

Normally, the two of them were not far apart in age and they were once engaged so Jiang Ningbao won't be too close to Xie Jingyi, lest someone gossiped. She won't find trouble for him in the duke residence.

So Jiang Ningbao decided to get a little even with Xie Jingyi.

Jiang Ningbao never forgot the matter of annulling the engagement.

It seemed that it was quite effective.

After lunch, Old Madam Xie still had a smile on her face. Perhaps she was too happy that she ate full and after drinking digestion tea, she was helped by a servant girl to her room to digest the food.

In the main hall of Thriving Joy Hall, the servants had tidied the table and left only Jiang Ningbao, Duke Ding, and Xie Jingyi.

Jiang Ningbao sipped the fragrant tea to erase the oil and glanced at the cool and handsome male lead with a smile, "Jingyi, do you like the plum ink mother sent you?"

Jiang Ningbao felt that it was satisfying to call herself mother in front of the male lead.

Right, she could also take advantage of Xie Jingyi later.

And disgust Xie Second Madam.

Duke Ding Xie Heng's heart, who was sitting straight at the side, moved and he felt something was not right. His brow furrowed. It seemed that his little wife hid something from him.

Xie Jingyi did not think that Jiang Ningbao would suddenly ask about the plum ink. His gaze stiffened and the hand holding the teacup tightened. He raised to look at Jiang Ningbao who was smiling bright but the smile did not reach her eyes and nodded silently.

"Plum ink is one of Dayue Dynasty's four famous ink. I like it very much."

Calling himself son......Xie Jingyi could not say it but saying his name was not polite.

So he could only regard himself as 'me'.

But Jiang Ningbao rather naturally, as if she really was happy that she had a son a bit older than her.

"It's good that you like it. This is the meeting gift mother select very carefully." Jiang Ningbao purposely emphasized the words 'select very carefully' with a beautiful smile, as if the lotus in autumn waters, beautiful to the point of making one's heart to miss a beat.
