“Thanks, but I made my own arrangements, so we can separate when we arrive at the resort!” Gu Ning said.

“Sure.” Since Gu Ning had her own plans, they didn’t insist.

When they had almost arrived at the resort, her phone was able to receive signals again, and Gu Ning’s mobile phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and noticed that Leng Shaoting had called her, but she didn’t call him back right away, because it wasn’t an appropriate time.

After they separated, Gu Ning walked towards the villagers’ living area of Nanshui Village. Li Maosong and the others thought that she had someone to pick her up there.

When Li Maosong the others couldn’t see her anymore, Gu Ning put the box into her telepathic eye space and turned back, walking to the resort before she booked a room in a hotel.

Gu Ning didn’t call Leng Shaoting until she was in the hotel.

Leng Shaoting answered her call in a second. Although it was already 3 am, Leng Shaoting was still awake because he was worried about Gu Ning.

“Ningning!” Leng Shaoting sounded nervous. “How is it going?”

“Very well! It was an official’s grave from the Tang Dynasty, and I met Li Maosong and the others again. We went into the grave together and we shared the antiques,” Gu Ning said.

Leng Shaoting didn’t care about the antiques at all. The only thing he cared about was Gu Ning’s safety. Knowing that she was fine, he finally relaxed. “Good to know! When will you go back home?”

“In a couple of days maybe. Master Tang knows that I’m in City B, and I’ve promised to visit him once I’m free,” Gu Ning said.

Leng Shaoting understood that Master Tang was Gu Ning’s “grandpa”, and he would love to see that they were close as long as Gu Ning was willing to be. And Gu Ning was obviously happy to do so. They chatted for a short while before hanging up. Although Leng Shaoting was reluctant to hang up, he knew that Gu Ning needed a good rest, since it was very late.

Gu Ning then took a shower before she went to bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Gu Ning got up around 8 am. She went to check out and left for City B.

It was still early, and she couldn’t visit Tang Haifeng so early in the morning, so she called Pan Zirui instead and invited him to have lunch together.

Pan Zirui had just joined her team, so she should seize the chance to spend more time with him. Otherwise, she had no idea when they would meet the next time.

Pan Zirui was thrilled to receive Gu Ning’s call. He had an appointment to watch horse racing with his friends and was ready to set off, but he directly abandoned his friends and decided to meet Gu Ning.

Pan Zirui’s friends were all astonished when they heard Pan Zirui call another person boss. To their astonishment, Pan Zirui who was always arrogant would regard another person as his boss.

When Pan Zirui told them that he changed the plans at the last second, his friends complained a lot. Hearing that, Gu Ning felt a little guilty to ruin their plans, so she said, “Well, why don’t we get together next time!”

“No.” Pan Zirui rejected at once. “Where are you now? I’ll come to you.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea that you abandon your friends like that,” Gu Ning said.

“I think that you’re more important, boss,” Pan Zirui said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning was amused.

“Lord Pan, why don’t you invite your boss to watch horse racing together with us? It’ll be a shame if you’re absent!” one of Pan Zirui’s close friends said.

“Hey, boss, wanna watch horse racing with us?” Pan Zirui asked Gu Ning.

Gu Ning understood that if she declined, Pan Zirui would abandon his close friends for her, which wasn’t something she wanted to see, so she agreed.

Pan Zirui proposed to pick Gu Ning up but was stopped by Gu Ning. She would take a taxi to meet them on her own.

Half an hour later, Pan Zirui’ and his friends arrived at the horse racing field, but they didn’t walk in right away. Instead, they were waiting at its gate. Pan Zirui insisted on waiting for Gu Ning alone, but his friends chose to wait along with him.

There were five young men and five young women in Pan Zirui’s group of friends. Men were the leading roles, while the women were just their companions to have fun with.

Few of those rich heirs had a serious relationship, and most of them were playing around with many girls. However, not all of them did. Two couples among the group were officially boyfriend and girlfriend. One of the two couples was already engaged and about to get married in a few months.

After 10 minutes, Gu Ning was still absent. A woman shivered a little from the cold, then acted pouty to her male companion. “Lord Guan, I’m so cold!” Obviously, she wanted to walk inside.

The young man who was called Lord Guan gave the woman a glance of disdain. “The why did you have to wear so little?”

The woman indeed put on fewer clothes to look sexy, but it was cold in the winter. The woman was angry but didn’t dare to say another word. If she annoyed him, she would be dumped. However, someone added fuel to the flame. “Nana, didn’t you just recover from a cold? You have to take good care of your body. If you catch a cold again, Lord Guan can be affected.”

“You…” The woman, whose name was Qiao Nana, was mad. “Hao Mengqi, shut your mouth!”

“What? I’m just telling the truth,” Hao Mengqi said like she was innocent.

“You…”

“Enough!” Pan Zirui hated to hear the women arguing.

The two women shut their mouths at once, and their male companions also gave them a warning look, which made them keep quiet.

Where there were women, there was a war. The two were the same kind of woman, but they never liked each other. Actually, they didn’t get along for a reason.

Qiao Nana’s male companion, Lord Guan, was better looking than Hao Mengqi’s. Hao Mengqi had admired Lord Guan first, but Lord Guan only liked women with big boobs. Although Hao Mengqi’s breasts weren’t small, they weren’t big either, so Lord Guan wasn’t interested in her.

Meanwhile, a man would never reject a woman who came on to him. Therefore, Hao Mengqi had slept with Lord Guan a few times. However, precisely because of that, she was now jealous of Qiao Nana and would seize every opportunity to pick on Qiao Nana. Qiao Nana, on the other hand, had no idea about what had happened between them. Hao Mengqi didn’t dare to say anything either, because Lord Guan would be mad at her. What was worse, she would lose the man who was the wallet that she had right now too. Although the rich heirs would play around with many women at the same time, they didn’t allow their women to sleep with other men. Otherwise, they would abandon them.
