“Nice to meet you too, Miss Qiu,” Gu Ning said politely.

“Alright, it’s time for the meal now. Let’s go dine together!” Xu Jinchen said, and then they left together.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sat in Xu Jinchen’s car, and Qiu Yuxin took Xu Qinyin’s.

“I think that Gu Ning is younger than 20!” Although Qiu Yuxin already got over it, she couldn’t help gossiping. “Probably just turned 18! I’m surprised that Shaoting likes a girl who is so much younger than him!” Xu Qinyin said, but she only dared to say it when Leng Shaoting was absent.

“Hey, what do you want to have?” Xu Jinchen asked Gu Ning. Gu Ning was the guest and guests decided first.

“Anything that you think is delicious,” Gu Ning replied.

“Well then, I’ll make the decision.” Since Gu Ning said so, Xu Jinchen would choose for Gu Ning.

“Oh, boss, did you get injured anywhere?” Xu Jinchen suddenly thought of the question. Although they both looked fine, it was necessary for him to care about them.

“Not really,” Leng Shaoting said.

“Good to know.” Xu Jinchen relaxed.

Watching the familiar scenes through the window, Gu Ning had mixed emotions again. She had been on this road countless times and had stayed in this city for so many years during her previous incarnation. Leng Shaoting sensed her emotional change. Although he didn’t know why she was suddenly so sad, he clasped her hand to comfort her. Gu Ning didn’t want her bad mood to affect Leng Shaoting, so she immediately stopped thinking about her previous incarnation.

“Oh, how long will you be staying in the capital?” Xu Jinchen asked.

“A week at the most!” Gu Ning answered.

“It’s just a dozen days away from the New Year festival. I thought that you’d go to my boss’s place to spend the festival with his family!” Xu Jinchen said.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning with anticipation. Apparently, he had the same idea.

However, Gu Ning rejected. “I don’t think that it’s necessary!” In other words, they hadn’t been together for long, and it was impossible that she would spend the New Year festival with Leng Shaoting’s family.

Gu Ning was right, but it hurt Leng Shaoting’s heart. He was immediately upset.

“Please don’t be disappointed. I just think that we’ve only been together for a short time. Neither your family or mine has any idea that we’re already boyfriend and girlfriend. Don’t you think it would be abrupt if I suddenly show up in front of your family during the New Year festival?”

“We can tell them right now!” Leng Shaoting said.

“However, my mom won’t allow me to have a boyfriend until I’m in university. If she finds out now, I’m afraid that she’ll have a bad impression of you. What if she didn’t permit us to be together?” Gu Ning said on purpose.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting compromised. “Fine, we’ll wait till you go to college.” “Ha-ha,” Xu Jinchen snorted with laughter. “It seems like I better find a girl who is already graduated from college, so that we can get married directly, and I don’t need to worry about her age.”

Xu Jinchen was actually making fun of them. Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was displeased. He also wanted to marry the girl that he loved right away.

When Gu Ning had accepted him as her boyfriend, Leng Shaoting never thought that they would be apart again, so he naturally had the idea that they would be married one day.

However, Gu Ning threatened Xu Jinchen, “Jinchen, aren’t you afraid that if you annoy your boss, he’ll arrange some tasks for you and you’ll have no time to date, let alone get married?”

“No-no, please!” Xu Jinchen was scared and begged, “I’m sorry! I apologize!” If he annoyed Leng Shaoting, it could possibly happen.

The capital was very large, and it took at least 45 minute of driving from the airport to downtown when there was no traffic jam.

It was 12 pm, so they drove smoothly and arrived at a hotel which the Xu Family owned an hour later.

When they walked into a private room, Gu Ning finally turned her phone on.

The minute her phone was powered on, she received seven messages which reminded her that she had missed calls from the same person, Situ Ye. There was also a message sent by Situ Ye. Gu Ning, I know that you’ll be fine, but I’m very worried about your safety. I’m flying to the capital now. I can’t relax until I see you in person. Please wait for me.

Gu Ning felt stressed and a little guilty, because she knew that Situ Ye liked her but she wouldn’t give him any response. She already had Leng Shaoting after all. Gu Ning called Situ Ye back without delay. She was fine, so she didn’t want him to waste his time flying to the capital to see her. However, his phone was powered off. He was probably already in a plane. Gu Ning then showed the message to Leng Shaoting. She had no intention to hide it from him.

Leng Shaoting was obviously displeased when he read the message.

“I’ll go with you,” Leng Shaoting said in an undeniable tone. He wouldn’t let Gu Ning meet Situ Ye alone. He knew that Situ Ye liked Gu Ning, and he wouldn’t allow them to meet each other alone.

“Sure,” Gu Ning said. She also didn’t want to give Situ Ye any chances, so it was better if they went to meet him together. After that, Gu Ning sent a message to Situ Ye.

Thank you so much for your care. I’m fine and safe now, but since you’re already coming, please call me when you arrive!

It took around three hours to fly from City G to the capital by plane, and Situ Ye would be arriving within two hours.
