Lu Xuan and Ning Wanxi exchanged a glance, and Ning Wanxi's cheeks flushed quickly as she lowered her head, looking so shy and enchanting that Lu Xuan was montarily stunned. His wife was getting more and more prone to blushing.
"As for my second wish," Ning Zongze smacked his lips and, with a change in tone, said rather suggestively, "I want a grandson."
Ning Zongze looked aningfully at Lu Xuan and Ning Wanxi, smiling and saying, "Lu Xuan, Wanxi, you two are already together, and it seems like your relationship is pretty good. So, why not help out and have a grandson already? That way, I, Ning Zongze, can die without regrets."
Huang Lili imdiately glared at him, "Pfft, pfft, pfft, don't jinx things by talking about dying!"
However, Lu Xuan awkwardly said, "Uncle Ning, your wish is quite nice, but my dad definitely won't agree."
Joking aside, Lu Xuan's dad was an old-fashioned, stubborn man. Having a son with the last na Ning would definitely make the old man flip out.
And Lu Xuan never expected that Ning Zongze would want a grandson so badly; his feudal mindset wasn't much better than his own dad's. Why didn't Uncle Ning just have more sons back then?
"Uh, that's true!" Ning Zongze blushed, realizing he'd only been thinking about his own family, not considering the Lu family. Besides, Brother Lu is even more eager for a grandson to carry on the family line than I am.
At this mont, Ning Wanxi's face was burning red. Although she and Lu Xuan had so physical contact, they hadn't even held hands more than three tis and had never really kissed. Now her dad suddenly brought up having kids. Anyone would think of that, and in an instant, Ning Wanxi's cheeks turned crimson, overwheld with embarrassnt and coyness, completely lacking her usual iron lady deanor in the business world.
Ning Zongze awkwardly chuckled for a mont, then had a bright idea and said with a smile, "How about this? The first son can take the Lu family na, and the second son can take the Ning family na. How does that sound?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Ning Wanxi felt dizzy and almost fainted, feeling like she was being treated as a breeding sow.
Besides, is having sons really that easy?
Ning Zongze put on a serious face and said, "Wanxi, your dad is serious. Even though I had a daughter, nothing can stop from wanting a grandson. Of course, as a daughter, you should put the male side first, so the first son will have the last na Lu!"
Seeing her dad's stern expression, Ning Wanxi got a little scared when he got angry and quickly nudged Lu Xuan to help her out.
Lu Xuan was stunned by this "great ideal" of his father-in-law. After chuckling helplessly, he said, "Uncle Ning, Wanxi and I have already discussed this. We're still young, not ntally ready for kids, and we still have Doudou. Wait a couple of years until Doudou is nearly three and in kindergarten; it won't be too late to have another."
Listening to his son-in-law, Ning Zongze couldn't really say anything more. After all, how could he possibly show a bad face to his son-in-law?
"Well, I won't say more," Ning Zongze stood up: "Anyway, I want a grandson!"
Lu Xuan didn't know what else to say. He and Ning Wanxi weren't even at that stage, and Uncle Ning was here "pressuring them into a royal heir." How can things move so quickly!
Ning Wanxi's cheeks were even redder, not knowing what to say. Having two sons seed too daunting a task, and beyond that, she and Lu Xuan had never even had that kind of fiery passion—
"Oh, right," Ning Zongze suddenly rembered sothing and said, "Wanxi, Lanya is getting married."
"Lanya?" Ning Wanxi was stunned, "Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken? Lanya just turned 19 and is still in college!"
"Your uncle told , and it's definitely true," Ning Zongze replied impatiently, "The wedding date is set for the 30th of next month."
Today was October 15th, so there was still a month and a half to go. Ning Wanxi thought about this, feeling extrely shocked, "Who is Lanya marrying?"
"The Tang Family in Beijing," Ning Zongze sighed, "This young master from the Tang family is not a good person. When he was in Jiangning, he was always indulging himself everywhere. I don't know why Lanya would marry him, but I believe there's sothing else behind this. You should go and talk to Lanya."
The Tang Family! They were one of the four prominent families in Beijing. Lu Xuan and Ning Wanxi were both alard, confirming what Lu Xuan had guessed all along. When Lanya decided to marry, soone from the Ning family would certainly be inford.
With the wedding approaching, the young master from the Tang family was still living a life of debauchery. n like this were clearly unreliable!
Lu Xuan knitted his brows together. The issue in Southeast City should soon be resolved, but he still had to make a trip to the military district in Beijing. He wasn't sure if he would make it back in ti.
At this mont, Lu Xuan had already ford a plan. If Lanya was being coerced, he would stop at nothing, even if it ant crashing the wedding to bring her back. But if Lanya was willing, he wouldn't interfere.
There were 45 days left. If there weren't any issues at the military district, he should be able to return early enough to crash the wedding! That sort of thing only happened in ancient tis, and doing sothing like that today would indeed be quite exciting.
"Have you talked enough? Hurry and pick up Doudou. I'm going to cook now!" Huang Lili said, as Ning Zongze quickly picked up Ning Doudou.
Ning Zongze and Huang Lili would stay in Southeast City for a few days, waiting for Ning Wanxi to wrap up her work before returning to Jiangning together. However, Lu Xuan wasn't going back and hadn't found the right mont to tell Ning Wanxi.
Over the past couple of days, Ning Wanxi had decisively managed to clean out both the Crown Prince Group and Heaven and Earth Group, settling salaries for all the managerial staff and dismissing them, while keeping the lower-level employees who wanted to stay, without trying to keep those who wanted to leave.
The industries of the two major groups were undergoing profound changes, with "new blood" continuously entering and "filthy blood" being cleared out. Ning Wanxi acted quickly, directly transferring capable and loyal personnel from the Jiangning City headquarters to oversee the industries within the two major groups, handling interim command. Otherwise, how could she manage it all alone?
In no ti, within just two days, all the industries of the two major groups were brought under the Tengyuan Group's umbrella, resuming production and marketing as usual.
The entire business circle of Southeast City couldn't help but admire Ning Wanxi's efficiency. No wonder she had drawn the favor of the theus Consortium!
The night was deep, with the chilly autumn winds blowing. At this mont, Lu Xuan was standing at the entrance of a luxury residential complex, a cigarette dangling from his lips. His gaze was cold as he watched the shifting shadows in the distance.
A massive showdown was imminent!
