“Thanks, we would love to, but we have something to discuss in private,” Gu Ning declined.
Gu Ning also knew that Yan Zhenglin was just being polite. They must have come here to dine together for something important.
Indeed, Yan Zhenglin and the others came all the way here to talk about something serious. However, if Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were willing to have a meal with them, they wouldn’t mind it either.
Since Gu Ning declined, he wouldn’t insist. “Well, then we’ll go inside first.”
After that, they separated.
When Yan Zhenglin and others were gone, Leng Shaoting fixed his eyes on Gu Ning and asked, “Why did you panic?”
Gu Ning understood that she couldn’t hide it from Leng Shaoting. If Leng Shaoting had read the news, he would recognize her at the first sight. Thus she could only tell him the truth, “There was a car accident on the highway this morning. A car was knocked over the guardrail. I ran to catch its wheel and stabilized the car. The people in the car were rescued. That’s all.”
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting had mixed emotions. He was mad at Gu Ning’s abrupt behavior, and she had even risked her own life to save others. No matter who the people that Gu Ning had saved were, no one was more important than Gu Ning in his heart now.
Leng Shaoting was still worried about her, even though the accident had already passed. What if she had fallen from the highway along with the car? He couldn’t imagine it, and he was reluctant to experience the feeling of losing someone he cared about the most again. Fortunately, Gu Ning was fine now, or he sincerely wouldn’t know what to do.
Leng Shaoting was mad, but he was more concerned about Gu Ning.
Seeing Leng Shaoting being unhappy and worried, Gu Ning felt slightly guilty. She held his hand and said, “I promise I won’t do it again.”
Although it wasn’t really dangerous for Gu Ning, it was super dangerous in the eyes of those who didn’t know her ability.
Leng Shaoting relaxed a little, and clasped Gu Ning’s hand. He only wanted her in this world.
He was truly afraid of losing her.
After the meal, it was already dark.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting ambled in the resort. It had a breathtaking view at night.
They noticed a theater, and Gu Ning proposed watching a movie together. Leng Shaoting agreed. It was almost 10 pm when they walked out of the theater.
They went back to the hotel and wanted to book a room. Unexpectedly, the hotel was fully booked.
“Um, there is no vacant rooms tonight. Would you mind staying in my room for a night? There is a sofa in my room,” Gu Ning said. She was nervous, and summoned up all her courage to say that. She didn’t want Leng Shaoting to think that she was an easy girl.
Leng Shaoting felt a little uneasy too, but there was no other room available tonight. He could leave Quanlin Resort, but he wasn’t willing to, so he agreed.
On the way to the room, the two couldn’t help thinking about what was going to happen when they stayed in the same room for a night. Both of them flushed and their hearts were pounding fast. No one talked along the way.
However, they were boyfriend and girlfriend now. So it was common that they stayed together.
Even if they slept with each other, it was no big deal because they were in love.
The minute that they walked inside the room, Gu Ning said, “You’re taller, and you can sleep in the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa. ”
“You can sleep in the bed, and I’ll use the sofa.” Leng Shaoting wasn’t willing to let Gu Ning sleep on the sofa. It was uncomfortable.
“The sofa is too small for you,” Gu Ning said.
“It’s fine,” Leng Shaoting said, then he walked to the sofa and sat down.
“There is no other quilt,” Gu Ning said, suddenly realizing it.
“No big deal. The air conditioner is on. I’m not cold,” Leng Shaoting said.
“Why don’t we sleep in the bed together?” Gu Ning said unconsciously, but she was soon shocked by her own words.
Leng Shaoting was struck dumb for a second. He felt the blood in his body was moving faster and faster, and didn’t dare to look at Gu Ning again.
Gu Ning added at once, “The bed is big enough for two.”
Which meant that they wouldn’t be touching each other, even if they slept in the bed together.
Leng Shaoting was struggling to make the decision. He was eager to be near Gu Ning, but didn’t want to scare her. In the end, Leng Shaoting agreed.
Afterwards, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting only took off their coats, lying in the bed together.
The bedside lamp was on, but it was a little dim. Maybe because it was still too early, or maybe because they were both nervous, no one was asleep but they didn’t talk either.
All of a sudden, Gu Ning’s phone vibrated on a table beside her. The night was too quiet, so the abrupt sound scared Gu Ning for a second.
The caller was Situ Ye.
Why was he calling her at night?
“Hi, Mr. Situ,” Gu Ning answered it.
Leng Shaoting immediately felt a sense of being threatened.
“Hey, are you home now? I’m in City F now. Why don’t we have night snacks together?” Situ Ye invited gently.
“Oh, what a shame. I’m not at home right now. I’m in City D,” Gu Ning said.
Leng Shaoting, instead, was displeased with her tone.
Situ Ye was disappointed. He came to City F to meet Gu Ning, but she was absent. He thought that if Gu Ning wasn’t in City G, then she would be in City F.
“When will you be back?” Situ Ye asked.
“Tomorrow,” Gu Ning replied.
“Very well, then let’s dine together tomorrow when you’re back,” Situ Ye said.
“Sure.” Gu Ning wouldn’t reject since she was free tomorrow.
Gu Ning also noticed that Leng Shaoting wasn’t happy about Situ Ye’s call, but she wasn’t clear why the man was displeased. She and Situ Ye were just common friends after all.
