Ning Family Mansion, Guest Rooms in the Backyard
"What?! She agreed?!" Sheng Xuan roared in surprise.
Ning Rui lay on the sofa, legs crossed, munching on sunflower seeds.
"Not only did he agree, but Jiang Lirong also held Alang's hand and said a lot of sweet words to her, so sweet that my teeth ached. Damn it, even a lifelong single dog can't stand such a scene."
Sheng Xuan narrowed his bright eyes, suddenly became agitated, and paced back and forth.
"Didn't I already tell her I was going to N country to see my dad, and I'd go with her? Why did she agree to that guy surnamed Jiang?!"
Ning Rui spat out the sunflower seed shells and asked, "She agreed to let you go with her?"
“…She said she’d talk about it later,” Sheng Xuan replied irritably.
Ning Rui rolled her eyes and snorted, "That means she didn't agree! She's already agreed to Jiang Lirong. Ah Xuan, you're completely out of luck."
"What are you saying!" Sheng Xuan got angry and leaned over to punch his shoulder. "She's just going on vacation for a while."
Ning Rui chuckled twice, "Just keep deceiving yourself!"
Sheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, sitting upright without moving.
Ning Rui continued spitting out sunflower seed shells, and retorted, "Haven't you noticed? Your relationship with A Lang has changed a long time ago! You used to be at odds with each other every day, and she was always chasing after you to mess with you. And now? Is she still chasing after you to beat you up? Is she any different from other people when it comes to you now? Tonight, if she had the chance to go on stage and beat you up, she wouldn't even want to."
Sheng Xuan was completely dumbfounded.
Yes, things have definitely changed between him and her.
They are no longer as hostile as before, constantly mocking and clashing with each other; instead, they have become...
After a long pause, he stammered, "Isn't this... better? We seem to have become closer, like good friends, like good colleagues."
"Stupid!" Ning Rui snorted. "Do you lack friends? Do you lack colleagues? Or does A Lang lack them? When are you going to open your head, you blockhead?! Can't you use some of the intelligence you use to make money for your emotional intelligence?"
Ah Lang has always been self-controlled and calm since childhood, but he is different only towards Sheng Xuan.
Why is he so special? Even the dumbest and most clueless person can see it, but he, the one in question, pretends to be clueless all the time!
"You'd better think this through. If you don't wake up soon, A-Lang will be snatched away by someone else, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Jiang Lirong has been pursuing her for years, even all the way to Rongcheng. Don't even mention me, even my uncle was moved the other day and asked her if she wanted to consider it. You, just keep courting death!"
Ning Rui had known him for many years and had never been polite in his speech.
In this situation, he wouldn't hold back at all. If he hadn't been exhausted from two fights earlier, he would have liked to punch him a few times until he sobered up.
Sheng Xuan looked terrible, stood up abruptly, and paced back and forth in agitation.
Ning Rui watched his busy and irritable figure with amusement, while leisurely munching on sunflower seeds.
Just then, his phone rang.
Ning Rui wiped his hands and lazily took out his phone.
"Hey? Qi-ge! Yes, he's with me. It's almost New Year's Eve? Okay! We'll head over now."
Sheng Xuan stopped and frowned, asking, "Where is she? Did that annoying guy leave?"
Ning Rui shrugged. "How would I know! I've been staying with you ever since I overheard you. If you want to know, go find out for yourself!"
Sheng Xuan knew that the Ning family had the custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve every year, and she was no exception.
So he ran to the main house and found everyone there, but she was nowhere to be seen.
His heart...unconsciously panicked.
