Chapter 299 Threatening Xu Jingchen
Moreover, this was only the second time she and Leng Shaoting had met. Her liking for him was based on his appearance and she had no real feelings for him. It wasn't that difficult to let go, it was just a pity.
"Hello, Miss Qiu." Gu Ning also responded in a friendly manner.
"Okay, it's time to eat now, let's go eat!" Xu Jingchen said, and then everyone went to eat together.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting took Xu Jingchen's car, while Qiu Yuxin took Xu Qinying's car.
"This Gu Ning looks like she is less than 20 years old!" Although Qiu Yuxin has let it go, women still can't help gossiping.
"He should have just reached adulthood! I didn't expect Brother Shaoting likes to eat young grass!" Xu Qinying sighed and complained, but she could only say this here and definitely didn't dare to say it in front of Leng Shaoting.
Here, Xu Jingchen asked Gu Ning: "Sister, is there anything you want to eat?"
Since they are Gu Ning's guests, we naturally have to respect them.
"Eat what you think is delicious." Gu Ning said.
"Okay! Then I'll make the decision." After Gu Ning said that, Xu Jingchen made the decision himself, assuming that Gu Ning was not familiar with the capital and didn't know what delicious food there was.
"By the way, Boss, you didn't get hurt anywhere, did you?" After a while, Xu Jingchen suddenly remembered this and asked. Although seeing that they were fine, it meant that they were fine, but people always worry about others and get confused! "No." Leng Shaoting replied.
"That's good." Xu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ning looked at the familiar scenery outside the window and his emotions became complicated again.
In her previous life, she had passed this road countless times and stayed in this city for many years.
He felt the change in Gu Ning's mood. Although he didn't know why, he could tell that she was not in a good mood. Then he grabbed her hand, saying nothing and asking nothing, just wanting to give her a sense of security.
Gu Ning didn't want to let her bad mood affect Leng Shaoting, so she immediately put away her thoughts about her past life.
"By the way, sister, how many days do you plan to stay in the capital?" Xu Jingchen asked.
"About a week at most!" Gu Ning said.
"The New Year is only a dozen days away. I thought you were coming to your boss's house to celebrate the New Year with him!" Xu Jingchen joked.
Hearing this, Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning with expectation in his eyes, obviously hoping that Gu Ning would stay and celebrate the New Year with him.
Gu Ning was speechless: "It's not even a stroke yet!"
What this means is that the relationship is not stable yet and it is impossible for her to go to the man's home to celebrate the New Year.
What Gu Ning said was not wrong, but it hurt Leng Shaoting's heart, causing his expression to instantly darken and reveal a hint of hurt.
Gu Ning immediately sensed it and quickly grabbed his hand, explaining, "Well, I mean now is not the right time. Look, we have only been together for a short time and both parents don't know about our relationship yet. Don't you think this is too rash?"
"You can let them know!" Leng Shaoting said.
"But my mother said that I am not allowed to date before I go to college. What if she finds out now and has a bad impression of you and doesn't allow me to be with you?" Gu Ning said with embarrassment.
Leng Shaoting was immediately frightened when he heard this. He was worried that Gu Man really had a bad impression of him and would not let Gu Ning be with him, so he compromised: "Okay, then we'll talk about it when you are in college."
"Pfft." Xu Jingchen couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It seems that I have to find someone who has graduated from college, so that if we are really suitable, we can get married directly, without having to worry about her being young or still studying."
This may sound like an exclamation, but in fact it is gloating.
Hearing this, Leng Shaoting was unhappy. Why isn't Ningning a little older now? In this way, they can get married.
From the moment he confirmed his relationship with Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting had never thought of being separated again, so it was natural for him to think about getting married at this time.
Gu Ning, in what sounded like a reminder, actually threatened: "Brother Xu, be careful not to upset your boss, or he might assign you a task that will leave you no time to date, let alone get married."
"Hey! Don't." Xu Jingchen was so scared that he almost lost his grip on the steering wheel. He immediately begged for mercy: "Can't I just say I said something wrong?"
According to Leng Shaoting's personality, this is really possible! The capital is very big, and it takes 40 to 50 minutes to get from the airport to the city, and that's when there's no traffic jam. When Xu Jingchen came just now, there was no traffic jam, and he was speeding all the way, so he arrived in less than half an hour, but he can't do that now.
It was only twelve o'clock, so there was no traffic jam and the journey was smooth. After forty minutes, everyone arrived in the city and went to the hotel owned by the Xu family for dinner.
When they arrived at the hotel private room, Gu Ning remembered to turn on his cell phone.
As soon as I turned on the phone, seven or eight messages popped up, all indicating missed calls, and they were all from the same number, Situ Ye.
There was also a message that Situ Ye sent specifically: Gu Ning, I believe you will be fine, but I am still very worried about you. I came to the capital, but I didn’t see you in person, so I am worried. Wait for me.
Gu Ning's mood suddenly became complicated, because she knew that Situ Ye liked her, so while she was touched by his concern, she also felt a little pressured and a little guilty, because she couldn't give him any response, and she didn't want him to have any emotional investment in her.
But how can one control emotions?
Gu Ning immediately called Situ Ye back. She was fine now, so she didn't want him to make a wasted trip. However, Situ Ye's phone was turned off, so she thought he was already on the plane.
Gu Ning showed the text message directly to Leng Shaoting. In terms of feelings, she had nothing to hide from him. She told him because she hoped he would not think too much about it.
When Leng Shaoting saw the message, his expression instantly dimmed, and displeasure appeared in his eyes, but it was not directed at Gu Ning, but at Situ Ye.
"I'll accompany you then." Leng Shaoting said without giving in to doubt. It wasn't that he didn't believe Gu Ning, but that he didn't believe Situ Ye.
Knowing that Situ Ye was interested in Gu Ning, how could he watch them meet alone? If he didn't know, it would be fine. But now that he knew, he was naturally worried.
"Okay." Gu Ning did not refuse. She was worried that Leng Shaoting would overthink and be sad, but she also did not want to give Situ Ye any chance, so she could not meet him alone.
Then, Gu Ning sent a message to Situ Ye, luckily he saw it when he turned on his camera.
Gu Ning said: Thank you Brother Situ for your concern, I am fine now. Since you are here, please call me when you arrive!
It takes about three hours to get from City G to the capital. It has been less than an hour since Situ Ye's flight took off, and it will take another two hours to arrive.
