At this moment, Vice Principal Zhu came out and greeted Ning Yuan with a smile.
"Xiao Ning, come on, I got a letter of introduction and booked a table at the county guesthouse. Their wild game dishes are really popular lately."
Ning Yuan and Zhang Er were taken aback, and then they both couldn't help but laugh.
The county guesthouse is indeed the most upscale hotel in the county town, and Zhu Li has really put his heart into it.
Vice Principal Zhu was somewhat puzzled and worried: "What's wrong? Does Xiao Ning not like the county guesthouse?"
Ning Yuan shook her head, suppressing a laugh, and then pointed to Zhang Er on the side: "Brother Zhang Er is the purchasing manager of the county guesthouse. I was the one who delivered their wild game from the village."
She's just gone back to eating the same things over and over again; she's tried all the dishes several times.
Vice Principal Zhu was taken aback, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and couldn't help but laugh as he shook hands with Zhang Er: "Then we'll have to ask Comrade Zhang to recommend some good dishes. We'll need a letter of introduction just to eat here once."
Zhang Er laughed and cheerfully offered Zhu Li a cigarette: "You're welcome!"
Vice Principal Zhu politely declined the cigarette, then looked at Ning Yuan with a smile and said, "You're so young, and you're still going hunting in the mountains with your family?"
Ning Yuan glanced at Rong Zhaonan and simply said, "Mm."
Seeing that Ning Yuan made no attempt to introduce herself, Rong Zhaonan's face grew even colder, and he remained silent.
Vice Principal Zhu had been paying attention to the tall, straight young man beside him, Rong Zhaonan; after all, even without speaking, his presence was very strong.
Despite having a pretty face, he exudes a cold and oppressive aura.
"Ahem, is this Xiao Ning's brother?" Vice Principal Zhu asked Rong Zhaonan politely.
Ning Yuan is petite, with big eyes, a small mouth, and a cute, round face. Standing next to the aloof Rong Zhaonan, she looks like a little sister.
Seeing Ning Yuan pretending not to see him, Rong Zhaonan coldly introduced himself: "I'm her boyfriend."
He paused, then added, "The kind where they've already registered their marriage."
Vice Principal Zhu was stunned for a moment. These days, people get married early. Many people only go to high school after returning from working in the countryside, so it's normal for them to get married.
But the last time he saw the young man who was with Ning Yuan, he was strong and handsome, and he was so protective of Ning Yuan. How come they broke up after only a month?
He blurted out, "Xiao Ning, you've changed your boyfriend. That handsome young man from last time isn't as good as this one..."
Halfway through his sentence, Vice Principal Zhu knew he was about to mess things up, so he swallowed the rest of his words.
Sure enough, the tall, fair-skinned guy next to him turned into a dark-skinned guy.
Rong Zhaonan gave Ning Yuan a cold, hard look: "We've registered our marriage. It would be a shame if she thought someone else was better now."
Ning Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
He's insane. Doesn't he know that the strong young man by her side in the city could only be Chen Chen?
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes. She wasn't going to explain to anyone who he was, yet she dared to roll her eyes at him?
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was clearly tense, Vice Principal Zhu quickly gave an awkward smile.
"I misspoke. What I meant was that Xiaoning is a good girl. She just got married too early. Otherwise, I could have introduced her to a better partner after she finished her studies."
Chapter 2: "..."
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
Ning Yuan: "..."
This explanation is worse than no explanation at all. What does it mean to say that he can introduce better potential partners? Doesn't that mean that Rong Zhaonan is inferior to everyone else?
The explanation given was that it was like offering a ladder, letting someone save face.
Vice Principal Zhu explained that it was like pulling away the ladder that was supposed to save face, then undermining the person and kicking them while they were down.
Rong Zhaonan's face was so dark it looked like thunder and rain was about to break out, causing Vice Principal Zhu and Zhang Er to shrink back involuntarily.
He inexplicably felt that this pretty boy looked a little scary.
Ning Yuan stood to the side, wanting to laugh, so she simply laughed until tears streamed down her face in front of Rong Zhaonan: "Hahaha, Uncle Zhu really knows how to talk."
It's really satisfying to see Rong Zhaonan, that dog, get inexplicably humiliated.
This is the second time he's been thwarted!
Everyone thinks Chen Chen's tough military face is much more in line with current aesthetic standards than his pretty-boy looks.
He has a great physique and is more skilled than Chen Chen, but he can't just go around taking off his clothes and standing in front of people saying, "Hey, comrade, look at my muscles."
Or he could beat up Chen Chen to prove he's better than Chen Chen.
Hahahaha...
Rong Zhaonan's chilling gaze swept heavily over Ning Yuan.
His mood worsened, and he mentally replayed the scene of how to deal with Ning Yuan dozens of times.
Vice Principal Zhu and Brother Zhang were too intimidated by his gloomy and cold aura to speak...
Ning Yuan took a deep breath to suppress her laughter, wiping away the tears that had welled up in her eyes as she said, "Ah, don't mind Uncle Zhu, let's go eat!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Rong Zhaonan and asked, "Do you want to come with us to the county guesthouse for dinner?"
Rong Zhaonan said coldly, "Go? Why wouldn't I go? All my money is with you."
Ning Yuan looked at his sour face, his eyes that could kill, and she felt like she had been skinned alive by him.
Does this guy not even have any pocket money? He looked at her with a cold expression, clearly wanting to turn around and leave but having to follow her because he was poor.
She couldn't help but laugh again.
What fool would give their entire fortune to a business partner without fear of her running off with the money?
Ning Yuan's mood improved even more: "Then let's go, let's go eat!"
As she spoke, she jumped onto the back of Zhang Er's bicycle.
Brother Zhang chuckled and rang the taxi bell: "Let's go!"
Rong Zhaonan tightened his grip on the handlebars, his handsome face turning even uglier and darker.
Vice Principal Zhu felt immense pressure from the young man beside him. He pushed up his glasses and said dryly, "I'm not good with words, please forgive this young comrade?"
After saying that, he jumped into the back seat of Rong Zhaonan's car and hugged his waist: "Let's go!"
Rong Zhaonan froze: "..."
Damn it, what if someone wants to kill someone?!
He hadn't felt this urge to swear in a long time.
...
Upon arriving at the county guesthouse, Ning Yuan got out of the car and entered the house chatting and laughing with Zhang Erge.
Rong Zhaonan braced himself with his long legs, and Vice Principal Zhu hurriedly jumped off the car seat and ran into the door as if chased by a ghost.
Rong Zhaonan, with a face so gloomy it could rain, also pushed the cart and followed them inside.
Vice Principal Zhu saw that he was angry and was afraid that he would deliberately throw him off, so she held him tightly around the waist the whole way.
This made him stiff and uncomfortable, so he really couldn't ride properly. As a result, the guy got so scared that he hugged him even tighter, almost wrapping his legs around his waist.
He was a middle school principal, after all, and he clung to him desperately, screaming all the way!
Damn it—he never wants to ride a bike with a man on the back again in his life!
It's all Ning Yuan's fault for causing all this trouble. On the way back to the village, I'll see how he deals with her. He'll make sure she's shaken to death!
