Sir, How About A Marriage novel Chapter 222

Ning Dong was immersed in his thoughts, staring blankly at the hotpot in front of him.

Ji An’s finger tapped lightly on his phone. After that, he poured Ning Dong a glass of beer and said, “Ning Dong, I think you’re overthinking things. Come, have a drink to calm down…”

Ning Dong picked the glass up and downed the beer without any hesitation.

Ji An said, “I don’t understand. Why do you suspect your father has woken up a while ago? Even if he has woken up a while ago, so what? Are you angry he lied to you? Perhaps, he has some unspeakable difficulties?”

Ning Dong smiled bitterly and said, “Unspeakable difficulties? You think he has some unspeakable difficulties? No, he doesn’t have any unspeakable difficulties; he only has ulterior motives…”

Ji An put his chopsticks down before he reached out and patted Ning Dong’s shoulder. “Ning Dong, I feel you’re overthinking. From the moment I met you, I could tell you’re a child with many complex thoughts in your mind. Nevertheless, you’re mature and steady, and you have a tenacity that most people your age don’t have. I can tell you’ll definitely achieve great things in the future. I’ve met countless people in my life. Believe me, my judgment won’t be wrong…”

Ning Dong’s eyes flashed when he heard this. His heart was suffused by warmth again when he saw the bright smile on Ji An’s face. After a moment, he said, “Brother Ji An, before I met you, no one had really praised me. My grades weren’t good so my father was always disappointed in me. As for my mother, whenever she was anxious or in a bad mood, she would hit me.”

Ning Dong paused for a moment before he continued to say, “My father once had a daughter. It’s said that she’s really intelligent. Unfortunately, I wasn’t even half as smart as her. My father would always subconsciously compare me to her, making him more and more displeased with me…”

Ji An feigned curiosity and asked, “What do you mean by ‘once had a daughter’? Did… Did she pass away? So you had a sister?”
