Chapter 289 Mr. Gu doesn’t like me?
"Boss, don't be too sad. There are plenty of beautiful women out there. Why should you be so obsessed with just one?"
The younger brothers came up with a basketball in their arms. Seeing Cheng Chen with his head down and depressed, they didn't dare to laugh out loud. They could only hold back and go forward to comfort the boss who had become the laughing stock of everyone.
"That's right, Boss, what's so good about dating? It's better than playing basketball!"
After saying that, the man started to perform a cross-legged dribble.
Looking at this group of carefree little followers, Cheng Chen was speechless for a moment and kicked the basketball away.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you! Just go play basketball for the rest of your lives!"
He played basketball to attract the rich women on the campus of Imperial Capital University so that he could completely get rid of his illegitimate status. Otherwise, he would not have set his sights on Ning Anran in the first place.
Anyone who marries such an arrogant woman will suffer.
His eyes stayed on Gu Xia's back, Cheng Chen clenched his fists tightly, and felt a surge of anger in his chest.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"Is our relationship going to break down because of a woman?"
The younger brother quickly picked up his basketball with disappointment on his face.
"Get out of the way. I'm not going to play today. Who of you can take my place?"
…
PARKING LOT.
Gu Xia sat in the passenger seat, waiting for Ning Anran to help him fasten his seat belt.
"Ning Anran, do many people in your school like you?"
Ning Anran lowered her head and was stunned by Gu Xia's question. She shook her head and said sincerely, "I don't know."
With the seat belt fastened, Ning Anran lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Xia, who had occupied her thoughts for some time.
She continued, "Even if there were, I would refuse. I know you would be angry, so I won't have any interaction with them."
“Did I do well?”
Raising his fingertips, Gu Xia touched Ning Anran's soft cheek, pinching it as if as a reward.
Watch her skin sag and then bounce back because of collagen.
Gu Xia praised: "Well done."
"I am very satisfied today."
"I'm giving you a present."
The exquisite packaging box that was placed most conspicuously in the car was taken out, and Gu Xia handed it to Ning Anran, winking at her.
Then, she leaned lazily on the passenger seat and ordered Ning Anran like a superior master.
"Let's go back to the car and dismantle it. You're really conspicuous standing outside."
Gu Xia likes the relationship between two people to be kept secret, so Cheng Chen misunderstood that she and Ning Anran were in a relationship and were lovers.
Gu Xia was quite happy.
"Um."
With the gift box clenched in his fingers, Ning Anran returned to the driver's seat and closed the car door tightly to block out all sounds from the outside world.
Her parents have been very good to her since she was a child.
The gifts for Ning Anran’s birthday party filled almost every corner of the room, and until now those gifts have been stored in a separate room.
There are many antiques, or original works of masters, as well as jade, agate, gold, diamond jewelry and so on.
But Ning Anran was tired of opening gifts, so she naturally didn't take these things to heart.
But this time, the gift Gu Xia gave her made her extra excited - what was inside it?
He opened the box with his fingers, and inside lay a particularly beautiful bracelet with a golden square pendant hanging on a thick red rope.
This shape is somewhat similar to a silver "dog tag" necklace, but it is a little mini and smaller.
"Do you like it?"
"If you don't like it, give it back to me."
When Gu Xia gave the gift, he only considered his own preferences and did not care whether Ning Anran liked the customized one he gave.
"No, I love it."
Ning Anran took out the bracelet and put it on her wrist, tightening the red rope.
The body seems to be affected as well.
The cold metal was instantly warmed up. Ning Anran turned on the navigation and looked at the pendant dangling on her wrist. She always felt that the gift Gu Xia gave her had other meanings.
"Want to go home?"
I heard the inquiry in my ear.
Gu Xia shook his head.
"Take me to your house."
"Of course, if you don't want me to go, you can refuse me here."
"I won't force you."
How could she refuse?
Ning Anran said truthfully, "I have two apartments near Imperial Capital University. It's about two kilometers away if I go home."
After telling him all about her private areas, Gu Xia raised an eyebrow and received an unexpected surprise.
Ning Anran's action was like a prey falling down, turning out its soft belly.
It is a sign of goodwill and also a sign of weakness.
"You love studying so much that you even bought two apartments near the university. You must be soaked in books."
Listening to Miss Gu's teasing tone, Ning Anran did not deny it. Instead, she continued with her words: "If I don't have anything to do, I can only study hard."
"I'm not really interested in those outdoor sports either."
“I’ve only been skiing for a few years.”
But skiing itself is full of dangers and the snow is not safe.
Ning Anran rarely plays anymore due to her parents' persuasion.
"So now, have you found something interesting?"
Gu Xia leaned over from the passenger side, but unfortunately the seat belt stopped her from doing so, so Gu Xia could only turn her head to the side.
The ambiguous atmosphere in the car was gradually getting stronger. Ning Anran didn't know if this was the "lover atmosphere" mentioned in the book.
"Found it."
…
The topic was not continued and became an unspoken secret between the two.
Holding the steering wheel, Ning Anran parked the car downstairs of one of his apartments.
This residential complex is very quiet and has Chinese style. Gu Xia looked at the green bamboo at the door with his hands behind his back.
After hesitating for a while, she finally called her sister.
"Well, I'm sleeping at Yingying's house today and won't be going back."
"I'm not drunk, I'm sober, sister. If I were really drunk, I wouldn't call you~"
The tone was coquettish.
Gu Xia stretched out his fingers and pointed at the green leaves of the bamboo. Even his lying skills were perfect.
In fact, if her sister was not so opposed to her and Ning Anran being together, Gu Xia would really consider telling Gu Lindong about her and Ning Anran being together.
But looking at her sister's attitude now, Gu Xia looked up at the moon above her head. Is this what it feels like to have adults oppose premature love?
She is not in a premature love relationship!
She's about to graduate from college!
Why does her sister always treat her like a child?
"Well, good night, sister."
"Remember to eat breakfast tomorrow morning."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Gu Xia felt a warm coat wrapped around his back. Ning Anran leaned over, her body tilted, and she put her arms around Gu Xia.
The soft coat pressed against his cheek, and Gu Xia really wanted to turn around and scold Ning Anran.
Doesn’t this guy know it’s cold?
No consciousness?
"What are you doing? If you're cold, just go to the apartment. I'm on the phone with my sister."
Ning Anran's voice was low and a little muffled.
"Mr. Gu doesn't like me?"
The feeling of being disliked by Gu Xia's family is not pleasant. Ning Anran, who has always been excellent and self-respecting, naturally feels aggrieved and sad.
"She doesn't like anyone who's around me, and you're no exception."
"Because she was worried that I would be cheated."
“After being cheated, you will cry and shed tears.”
