After getting into Liao Qian's car, Lei Ting wanted to sit next to An Ning, but An Yang glared at him and drove him away. Lei Ting then sat opposite An Ning, still gazing at her affectionately. An Yang blocked An Ning's way, and Liao Qian opened a glass of champagne. The four of them toasted together.
Anning: "That's right. This glass of champagne reminds me of what you said when we were in college: champagne glasses are flashy but impractical, but when filled with fine wine, they are simply irresistible."
Liao Qian: "Haha, An Ning still remembers what I was bragging about! Hahaha..."
An Ning: "Of course, my memories of university are very vivid. Although I've forgotten a lot of things, I think they're probably irrelevant!"
Liao Qian: "It's nothing important, just forget about it and have another drink."
Liao Qian raised his glass, but Lei Ting wasn't in the mood to drink. It was unimportant; everything concerned him was unimportant. An Ning cared about his every need. Lei Ting felt a mix of sadness and relief. An Ning forgetting him had its advantages and disadvantages. The car drove through the most bustling area of Niujin City, the bright lights and daylight-like illumination making it easy to forget it was already night.
Liao Qian: "The nights in Niujin City are still so atmospheric, and the wind is neither too hot nor too cold. I really like this kind of climate."
Anning: "Speaking of the climate, it's so strange! How come my ears are a little frostbitten? A few days ago I wore earrings and there was a red and swollen area. I asked my family doctor to take a look, and he said it was frostbite. How strange! Could it be that my head went into the refrigerator and froze?"
An Yang: "Sis, when you were hit on the head, the doctor gave you an ice pack. You might have accidentally frostbitten your ears. It's okay, it's okay. Red ears look even better."
An Ning: "Is that so? Hehe, red ears do look prettier."
Liao Qian looked at Lei Ting. Lei Ting knew that it was the winter in Fengtian that had frostbitten An Ning's ears. Lei Ting still remembered that day when An Ning went to deliver food to his company. It snowed heavily, and there was a traffic accident that prevented the car from moving. An Ning got out of the car and walked to the company. When she arrived at the company, her nose and ears were red from the cold, but the food in her arms was still warm. Lei Ting used his hands to cover An Ning's ears, and An Ning snuggled into his arms. It was so good. Those were the good times. An Ning was so good.
Lei Ting: "An Ning, I'll make you some cherry wine. Apply it to your ear and it will feel better."
An Ning: "Cherry wine? A folk remedy?"
Thunder: "Hmm, a folk remedy, it works very well."
An Ning: "Okay."
Liao Qian: "We've arrived, let's get off the bus!"
Liao Qian led them to a very high-end hotel. The four of them sat by the window, overlooking the bustling traffic on the top floor. An Ning took off her coat, revealing a sexy camisole underneath. Her cleavage was faintly exposed to Lei Ting. An Ning pouted and poked her hands, looking at the bustling traffic outside the window. Lei Ting had never seen her like this before, and stared at her blankly.
Liao Qian: "What, you think it's too expensive? You don't have money to pay the bill?"
Thunder: "No way! Order whatever you want to eat, Anning, we'll eat whatever you want..."
Anning: "Anything is fine with me... Anyang, what would you like to eat?"
An Yang: "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Since my cousin is treating, let's start with my favorite lobster and some red wine. Oh, and sis, don't you love red wine steak? The chef here makes the best red wine steak. Let's have another red wine steak. Okay, you guys can order the rest!"
Lei Ting: "An Ning, what else would you like to eat? Order whatever you like, I have money to pay the bill."
An Ning: "No need, I'll just have steak... You guys order, I'm going to the restroom."
Thunder: "I'll go with you."
Just as Lei Ting was about to get up and accompany An Ning to the restroom, An Yang stopped him.
An Yang: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
Thunder: "What is it?!"
Anyang: "My sister got suspicious that day, so we lied and said that you borrowed over a million yuan from my family to come here to study. Don't tell me you've given yourself away."
Liao Qian: "Haha, him, the eldest son of the Lei family, borrowing a million or so, hahaha..."
Anyang: "My sister asked so urgently that my mom and I almost gave ourselves away. Remember this, don't let anything slip."
Lei Ting: "No wonder she wouldn't order her favorite dishes; she was trying to save me money!"
Anyang: "What do you think! You even know what my sister likes to eat?!"
Thunder: "She...he doesn't like red wine steak...I'll remember that, I'll bring her here to eat every day from now on."
An Yang: "Tch, you're only good because this is our family. If it were anyone else's family, you wouldn't even have a whole corpse left."
An Ning: "Who are you talking about! Who's been completely wiped out?"
An Yang: "Ah! I was just joking with them!"
An Ning: "Don't be so disrespectful."
An Ning appeared behind An Yang. An Yang smiled and asked An Ning to sit down. Lei Ting nudged Liao Qian, who then started talking about something.
Liao Qian: "An Ning, besides making bread, do you have any other dreams...?"
Anning: "Yes, I don't know why, but I really like children. I want to open a welfare home to take in homeless children."
Thunder: "That's easy, I..."
Liao Qian: "Opening a welfare home! The procedures must be complicated! People here care a lot about the children's growth, so even if it's a welfare home, we should try to make it as formal as possible."
Anning: "I'm really worried about this. I went to the relevant department to ask, and they said I need to have a complete family to apply. I'm worried about this too."
Anyang: "Sis, hurry up and eat your steak!"
Anning: "Yeah, I'm a little hungry, especially at night, I get hungry very easily."
