Chapter 364 Formal Engagement
Seeing the scene of Fang Shuhua suppressing everyone with her own power, Ning Zhizhi didn't dare to say a word, but leaned on her shoulders, watching their angry expressions, the corners of her mouth curled up secretly.

"Happy?"

Fang Shuhua didn't speak to Ning Zhizhi until she went upstairs. She had a slight smile on her face and teasing eyes.

"Mom, did you find out?"

Ning Zhizhi knew that she had never lied to Fang Shuhua, or rather, she had never thought of cheating Fang Shuhua.

After going through so many things, she is no longer the empress dowager with a cold face and a calm face in everything.

In front of her family, she wants to show her truest side.

"Silly, I'm your mother, how can you hide it from me?"

Looking at her "stupid and stupid" appearance, the corners of Fang Shuhua's mouth curved up slightly, and dimples appeared on the side of her face.

She lay on Fang Shuhua's shoulder and rubbed her neck affectionately.

"I'm sorry, mom, I should have made it clear to my father and my eldest brother and second brother just now."

She just didn't know how to explain to them that she really wanted to be with Pei Chonghuan for the rest of her life.

She was afraid of making them sad, but at the same time she was also afraid that she would let Pei Chonghuan down, so she hesitated and asked Fang Shuhua to come forward to help her solve the problem.

Since when did she become so indecisive as the majestic Crown Princess of Caifeng Kingdom?

The smile on her face subsided a little, Ning Zhizhi whispered.

"Did I embarrass you?"

Carrying Ning Zhizhi into her room, Fang Shuhua gently placed her beside the bed, and then sat beside her.

"Silly boy, why am I in trouble? You are my daughter and I am your mother. If you don't want to say it, then let me say it. It's no different anyway."

Fang Shuhua raised her hand to straighten her slightly messy hair, and there was a gentle and soft taste in her eyes.

"I know you want to be with Chonghuan, so mom will help you realize your wish. As for your dad and brother, don't worry, I'll talk to them about it."

Actually, in the final analysis, the reason why Ning Guofeng, Ning Cheng and Ning Chen were unwilling to let Ning Zhizhi and Pei Chonghuan get engaged was simply because they couldn't bear her.

After all, she is a daughter who has been wandering away for many years, and she finally found it. She has not been raised at home for long, and she will be engaged to someone else in a blink of an eye, and will marry into someone else's family in a few years.

How can they be willing?

In fact, speaking of it, Fang Shuhua was also a little bit reluctant to part with Ning Zhizhi, but after those painful days, she had figured out one thing.

The world is changing, and no one knows what will happen in the future. She just wants to make Zhizhi happy.

Seeing the strong love in Fang Shuhua's eyes, Ning Zhizhi's heart trembled, and suddenly she felt her nose sour, and she felt like she wanted to cry.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she felt such affection. She was moved but at the same time at a loss.

She didn't know how she should face Fang Shuhua, so after Fang Shuhua kissed her forehead, she threw herself into her arms as if to escape.

"Zhizhi likes you the most, Mom."

She tried her best to conceal the strong nasal sound in her voice, but Fang Shuhua could still hear it clearly.

He reached out and patted her back comfortingly, like putting a baby to sleep, Fang Shuhua was so gentle that her tone was relaxed and calm, as if she was afraid that her voice would scare Ning Zhizhi.

"Okay, mom loves Zhizhi the most too, so don't cry, okay? I have to see Chonghuan tomorrow, if the child sees your eyes swollen from crying, maybe why worry, be good."

This night, Ning Zhizhi slept with Fang Shuhua.

She was lying in Fang Shuhua's arms, and the latter patted her back gently, telling a bedtime story until she fell asleep peacefully, and then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ning Zhizhi woke up naturally.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up from the bed. After packing herself up and going downstairs, she found that the Pei family had already arrived.

Standing on the stairs, Ning Zhizhi accepted the attention of the two families, and suddenly had a feeling that she was neither advancing nor retreating.

Looking at Pei Chonghuan who was wearing a small formal suit, Ning Zhizhi blinked, and looked down at the cute white nightdress she was wearing, suddenly felt that she was a bit out of place with today's occasion?
"Zhizhi, what are you doing in a daze? Come here quickly." Fang Shuhua waved at Ning Zhizhi.

The latter thought for a while, and walked on generously.

"Am I getting up too late?"

She sat obediently beside Fang Shuhua, lowered her head and spoke shyly.

Because of yesterday's incident, Ning Cheng and Ning Chen did not appear on the stage, and Fang Shuhua found an excuse to expel Ning Ling and Ning An, the two unstable factors, so only the Ning family and the Pei family were in the living room.

As soon as she said this, the two families almost said in unison: "It's not too late, it's still early."

Liu Qinghe looked at her lovingly, acting more like a mother than Fang Shuhua.

"It's not too late, it's still early, Zhizhi, are you hungry? Do you want to have something to eat first? We adults can discuss the engagement, so you don't have to be too nervous."

Ning Zhizhi, who just wanted to say that this was inappropriate, was suddenly pushed by Fang Shuhua and pushed her to Pei Chonghuan's side.

It wasn't until being dragged into the restaurant by Pei Chonghuan that Ning Zhizhi recovered from the dizzy state.

Something seems wrong?This is obviously her home, but why does Pei Chonghuan act like she is the guest?
Seeing Pei Chonghuan who was testing the glass with his hands to feel the temperature of the milk, Ning Zhizhi blinked, but she didn't feel any disobedience.

"The milk is still hot, let's drink some first."

Looking at the glass that Pei Chonghuan handed to him, Ning Zhizhi took it subconsciously, and took a sip.

When the milk entered the mouth, there was a faint fragrance, and the sweetness permeated from the mouth. As the milk in the glass decreased a little bit, Ning Zhizhi's nervousness just now dissipated a lot.

She has never experienced such an occasion from the past to the present, and nervousness is inevitable.

Perhaps because Pei Chonghuan acted too naturally, Ning Zhizhi also breathed a sigh of relief.She leaned against the back of the chair, her legs swaying slightly, looked at Pei Chonghuan who was serving her food, and suddenly called out.

"Little brother, don't you feel nervous?"

She always felt that Pei Chonghuan seemed too calm?
Pei Chonghuan looked down at the red fingers he had just pinched, and pursed his lips slightly.

"No, I'm nervous too."

He was nervous, but he could tell that Ning Zhizhi was also nervous.

He couldn't behave the same in front of her, because that would invisibly increase the pressure on her, that's why he behaved so calmly.

Listening to his answer, Ning Zhizhi put her hands on her cheeks and let out a "huh".

"Really? But little brother, you don't act nervous at all, as if I'm the only one worried?"
