Chapter 339: The Real Zheng Lun (Part One)

Jing Yichen didn’t let Shangguan Ning get away in the days that followed.
He had learnt several new ways to please her so no matter how much Shangguan Ning asked him to stop during the night, he would refuse.
Shangguan Ning now had a trail of kisses marked all over her body. She felt both angry and embarrassed. She finally knew what it was like to irritate Jing Yichen.
He believed that her pregnancy test had challenged his dignity as a man, so he was trying his best to prove his ability to her.
The following morning, Shangguan Ning received a call from Zheng Lun who invited her and Zhao Anan over lunch at her home.
Shangguan Ning accepted the invitation instantly. Jing Yichen would have taken her again if she stayed at home.
She cleared her voice. “Yichen, Zheng Lun has asked me to visit her at her home. I am off now, you can have lunch by yourself.”
Huang Lihan and Jing Zhongxiu had gone hiking, so their weekend dinner was canceled.
Jing Yichen pushed Shangguan Ning against the wall leaving no space between the two bodies.
“Oh really? You forget about me when you have a new friend? I don’t want lunch, I want you.”
He kept blowing air in her ears, tickling her.
Shangguan Ning tried to push him off with her hands but she started to flush and called him by his name. “Yichen…”
Jing Yichen had just been teasing her. But he got very pleased hearing how she called him by the name.
“Yeah? One more time.”
“Yichen…”
“Yeah, another name.”
Shangguan Ning clenched her teeth and called out, “Honey…”
A long while later, Jing Yichen was satisfied. He walked out with her. “I will drive you there, don’t stay out too late. I will pick you up at night.”
…
Family Zheng’s home was a bit far. Shangguan Ning reached the destination after almost one hour.
Jing Yichen kissed her lips softly and drove off after he saw her entering the house.
Shangguan Ning had arrived earlier than Zhao Anan. Zheng Lun hugged her happily and guided her inside.
Family Zheng’s villa was very well decorated. Apparently, the lady of the house was a woman who loved life, because there were flowers and grass everywhere, and some jars containing fish, tortoises as well as few laid-back kitties who were lazing under the sun.
Mrs. Zheng came out of the kitchen, hearing the voices.
Seeing the elegant lady next to her daughter, she thought of her to be Shangguan Ning whom her daughter had talked about.
She greeted Shangguan Ning in a friendly way. “You must be Ms. Shangguan. Come and take a seat. Lun has been talking about you all the time. Honestly, you are much better looking than I had imagined. Those stars on TV are less pretty than you!”
Her daughter had always been introverted and timid. She had never brought any friends home and barely socialized with anyone. As a result, she didn’t have any close friends.
During the past few days, Mrs. Zheng found her daughter getting more outgoing and she kept talking about Shangguan Ning and Zhao Anan all the time.
She was very happy to see her daughter change. Therefore, she had started to make the preparations two days in advance when she heard that the daughter wanted to bring them home for a meal.
She was happy to see Shangguan Ning when she met her and saw her exchange some intimate talks with the daughter now.
Shangguan Ning was moved by the hospitality of this fit and wealthy looking woman. She said cheerfully, “Thank you, Aunt, it is the first time for me to hear such compliments. I am almost as old as Lun, so you can just call me Ning.”
She gave a present to her. “Aunt, this is a little present from me to you and Uncle. I am good friends with Lun, so she doesn’t get any.”
Mrs. Zheng accepted the present and laughed. What Shangguan Ning had said made her very happy – apparently, she was in a close relationship with her daughter.
She talked with Shangguan Ning as Zheng Lun led Shangguan Ning to the living room. Then she asked the servants to serve her tea, fruits and snacks.
The three of them chatted for a little while when Zhao Anan arrived.
Zhao Anan was outgoing and cheerful, bringing vigor to the entire room.
Seeing that everyone was at present, Mrs. Zheng went to deal with her own matters, leaving space for her daughter and her guests.
It was the first time for Zheng Lun to receive guests and that too her close friends. She had been a bit nervous about not receiving them properly.
But when they sat chatting so happily at this moment, she was no longer nervous.
She noticed that Shangguan Ning was interested in the layout of the house, so she said softly, “I placed everything randomly at home. I like doing something with those plants during the free time. Should I show you around?”
Shangguan Ning’s eyes widened and said with a smile, “Sure, I will need to pick up something from you.”
Zheng Lun’s home was definitely not as she had claimed “placed randomly”. Everything was well matched. The plants she had, were growing beautifully, green and full of vitality.
Shangguan Ning felt that Zheng Lun must have learnt something about interior designing, otherwise she could not have created such a beautiful scene just randomly.
Zhao Anan knew nothing about those things, but she also felt that Zheng Lun’s home made her feel comfortable. So she also went with them on the tour around the villa.
Zheng Lun wore an expression of pride when she was presenting the design and the objects in the villa. She knew everything about it, ranging from the color and the design layout. She talked in such a way as if she had become someone else.
“I painted the wall myself. I had not wanted to make the wall at home so colorful, because the general decoration of the house was in browns. A colorful corner might have looked inharmonious. But later, I felt that I could mix the dark blue, tomato red and turquoise together, and the colorful look might make the house even more vigorous. That was why I painted it with this color…”
Shangguan Ning asked with a smile after hearing what she had been talking about. “Lun, have you studied interior designing?”
Zheng Lun nodded gently, “Yes, I used to learn painting but later I found designing even more interesting. So I started to study designing instead.”
On the colorful walls there were many pictures of Family Zheng and the journey of the brother and sister from childhood to adulthood.
Zheng Lun saw a picture and said happily, “Lun, you seem very outgoing as a little girl!”
Zheng Lun looked at the picture and her smile tightened. She said softly, “That is not me. That’s the real Zheng Lun.”
