An Ning: "Mmm...that's fine."
An Yang: "Brother Liao, I happen to need to talk to you about something. Let's go outside and talk!"
Liao Qian: "You want to talk to me about something? Just say it here..."
An Yang suddenly looked at Liao Qian very seriously. Liao Qian put down her chopsticks and went out with An Yang. Lei Ting was overjoyed. Now no one would bother them. He immediately sat down in the seat An Yang had been in, very close to An Ning. An Ning tidied her makeup, and Lei Ting opened his phone to video chat with his grandparents.
Lei Ting: "Good morning, Grandma... Look, Anning brought me out to eat roast duck."
Lei Nai: "Let me see An Ning..."
Anning: "Hello, Grandma..."
Lei Nai: "Okay...okay, I'm fine with anything..."
An Ning: "Hehe, everything's fine with Lei Ting. I'll take care of him, so please don't worry..."
Lei Nai: "That's great! When are you coming back with him?"
An Ning: "Huh? Going back where?"
Thunder: "That grandma's international roaming is expensive! I'm hanging up!"
Lei Ting was afraid that his grandmother would let something slip, so he immediately hung up the phone, while An Ning was still looking puzzled.
Anning: "Go back with you? Why should I go back with you?!"
Lei Ting: "That grandma said she wanted to come back with me to visit. You haven't been back to China for many years, have you? Go back and see how much it has changed there. It's even more prosperous than here!"
Anning: "Oh, I'll ask my parents sometime, and we can go back to our hometown together. It's been so many years since I've been back, I've forgotten what it looks like."
Thunder: "Um, that... Anning! Have you ever been in a relationship?"
Anning: "Ugh...no...what's wrong..."
Thunder: "Why? Is it because you don't want to talk, or is there some other reason?"
An Ning: "I'm usually quite busy with work, and also... I don't really like those flashy men."
Thunder: "So what do you think of me? Do you like me...?"
An Ning carefully examined Lei Ting and shook her head.
Anning: "We're relatives!"
Thunder: "So that means you'd like me if we weren't related..."
An Ning: "How is that possible! Blood ties cannot be changed."
Lei Ting: "I was just asking, don't take it to heart, and don't tell An Yang!"
An Ning: "Okay, eat your food, you should eat more..."
Lei Ting was overjoyed. An Ning hadn't said she disliked him, so it seemed she would gradually accept him. Why hadn't An Yang and Liao Qian returned yet? Lei Ting searched for them, hoping they would return slowly so he could have more time alone with An Ning.
Thunder: "I'm going to the restroom, Anning, don't wander off."
An Ning: "Mm."
Lei Ting went to the restroom, turned on his phone, and placed it on the table. An Ning had just finished a glass of plum juice when Lei Ting's phone rang. It was Jasmine calling. An Ning glanced at it; Lei Ting hadn't returned yet. She didn't want to answer, but Jasmine kept calling, so An Ning decided to tell her to have Lei Ting call her back later.
Anning: "Hello, the owner of the phone has gone to the restroom. He will call you back when he comes back."
Jasmine: "Are you Anning?"
An Ning: "What? How did you know it was me? You know me?"
Jasmine: "Are you with Thunder?"
An Ning: "Who are you? How do you know me?"
Jasmine: "I'm Thunder's lover..."
Before Anning could finish listening to Jasmine's words, Lei Ting suddenly appeared, snatched the phone, hung up, and turned it off. He looked at Anning nervously. Anning was a little confused. Who was this woman on the other end of the phone?
Lei Ting: "An Ning, what did she say to you? What did you hear?"
An Ning: "Who...who is she?! How does she know me?"
Thunder: "She...she's nobody...she didn't tell you anything, did she!"
Anning: "She seemed to be saying she was your lover..."
Thunder: "No, she's nobody, nobody at all, don't believe this..."
An Ning: "Huh? Why are you so nervous? Your lover... has nothing to do with me, right..."
Thunder: "She's not my girlfriend, don't believe her..."
An Ning: "Lei Ting, aren't you overthinking this? Your personal relationships are none of my business. Oh, you're just afraid I'll tell others, aren't you? Don't worry, I won't say anything."
Thunder: "Anning, don't believe what others say, okay..."
Anning: "Who is she? How does she know me? You saved her contact as Jasmine. Isn't Jasmine a flower?"
Thunder: "She...she's your fan, she loves baking bread, she knows I've come to your side, and she admires you too, it's that simple..."
Anning: "Oh, where is she?"
Thunder: "...elsewhere..."
An Ning: "Sit down. You're intimidating me by standing in front of me."
Lei Ting breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite An Ning. He had been so careless for just a moment. Lei Ting held his phone and looked at An Ning's innocent face. An Ning put a bite of food on his plate.
Thunder: "Delicious."
An Ning: "Hehe, if it's delicious, eat more."
Thunder: "Hmm...would you like anything else to eat?"
Anning: "I'd also like to try canned hawthorn and mixed vegetables."
Thunder: "Okay, I'll go order one for you."
An Ning ate her food, completely oblivious to what had just happened. Lei Ting watched her retreating figure and then called Jasmine from the corner.
Thunder: "Are you asking for it?! Try calling me again and see what happens..."
Jasmine: "Why are you with Anning?"
Thunder: "Don't go looking for trouble. Do you want to die?"
Jasmine: "Hmph, she still pays attention to you? Didn't her family chop you up?"
Thunder: "I want to chop you up right now..."
