Chapter 117 Extreme Behavior
"I... don't know what love is."
Ning Anran looked at the curious faces and picked up the knife and fork on the table.
Speaking of which, it was Gu Xia who taught her these upper-class table manners.
At that time, she was clumsy and didn't know how to use these things at all, and was often speechless by Gu Xia.
"Really? Sister Anran, we don't believe it! If there's no one you like... there must be someone you care about, right?"
They grew up in wealthy families and have basically no worries, so the questions they ask are very innocent.
In addition, their parents repeatedly reminded them to be polite to Ning Anran, the newly found heir, so they naturally listened.
After all, who can resist money?
The richest assets in the Ning family are still held by Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning. These side branches are all waiting to please the old man and take what he has.
"I do have someone I care about. I care about her very much."
Upon hearing this answer, the younger generations of the Ning family felt that there was hope and immediately asked further questions.
If they can find Ning Anran's ideal type, then their trip won't be in vain.
"If I care, I like you. Sister An Ran, you're not secretly in love with someone else, are you?"
"Tell us about it, maybe we can give you some advice. Aren't you a handsome guy?"
Of course they had heard the rumors about Ning Anran being kept by someone, but bringing it up directly at the dinner table was like asking for trouble.
"Why are you asking so many questions?"
How could Ning Anran not guess what these people were thinking? She said these words just now because she wanted to see what these rich second-generations, whom she had not been able to contact in the past, would think.
And the understanding of the word "like".
She couldn't guess her own thoughts now, so how could she figure out Gu Xia's thoughts that changed every day?
If there really is someone I "like", then that person can only be Gu Xia.
Ning Anran could think of herself as a family dog protecting Gu Xia, but she couldn't put herself on an equal footing with Gu Xia.
There is no way, and I don’t want to.
She has become accustomed to the life of "private property".
This is the only thing she can be sure of, and it is also the most real her.
She could say she loved Gu Xia without restraint because she understood that such emotional needs were what Gu Xia needed.
Ning Anran, you are so despicable. You will do anything to keep her.
What you want is her gentle comfort or the warmth of her hands around your neck.
"Of course I'm curious, Sister Anran... From what you said, I guess you must have an ideal type."
"Look, is there anything you like here?"
Seeing the younger generations of the Ning family all surrounding Ning Anran, Wen Wanbai and Ning Yunshen were very pleased. It seemed that their advance instructions did have some effect.
Anran is too lonely, it would be great to have some friends to accompany her.
Ning Anran's fingertips slid across the pictures one by one, and her gaze finally stopped on Gu Xia, who was wearing a khaki suit jacket and a pleated skirt.
Seeing Ning Anran change from her indifferent attitude, several people came over.
"Sister Anran...you like Xia Xia."
"That's a bit difficult—Xia Xia has a bad temper. Honestly, no one in Qingshui City can handle her!"
"Besides, she has an older sister..."
Before the man could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of the head.
"The child is young and doesn't understand."
"You are talking nonsense! Miss Ning, please forgive me."
The parents quickly bowed and pulled the child away. The children were ignorant but they, the adults, could not be ignorant.
Everyone knew about the affair between Ning Anran and Miss Gu Er, but no one knew whether Ning Anran was willing to mention this "unbearable" past after returning to the Ning family.
If they don't agree, won't their children be walking into the muzzle of a gun?!
"Wait a minute, bring me the phone."
Ning Anran turned around and wiped her slender knuckles with a handkerchief. Her voice was so soft that you couldn't hear any anger in it.
"Here, Miss Ning."
The parent quickly snatched the phone from his child's hand and handed it to him. He had a flattering smile on his face, but cold sweat was pouring down his back.
“I deleted this photo.”
Ning Anran looked at the young and immature Gu Xia in the photo album, and felt annoyed for no reason. She hated these people for treating her like a commodity and browsing through her.
"Yes, yes, Miss Ning, whatever you want to do is up to you."
Watching the photo being deleted, the child's expression was painful. He stared at Ning Anran pitifully, not understanding what he had done wrong to make Ning Anran unhappy.
It was with great difficulty that they saved that photo, otherwise—Gu Xia had recently retired from the entertainment industry and never came out for dinner parties, so they wouldn’t be able to see him at all!
…
Gu Xia, who had an appointment with her sisters in the evening, was still flipping through the booklet that Ning Anran handed to her.
[If you are bored, you can keep sending me messages. You don’t have to wait for my reply. I will reply to them one by one as soon as I see them.]
The category on this page is blank, Ning Anran didn't write anything on it, but this is the page Gu Xia wants to turn to the most.
[In the closet in the second bedroom, there is a scarf I knitted. My knitting skills are not good, so I have never taken it out to give to you. But if you are bored, you can take a look at it and see if you like it. If you don’t like it, just throw it away. It takes up space.]
Yu Yingying, who arrived late, stood behind Gu Xia and silently gave a thumbs up. Oh my God, is Ning Anran so omnipotent?
She can even knit a scarf!
This is simply a fantasy in the eyes of these second-generation people!
"Ning Anran really is around you 24 hours a day, Xia Xia, you're so lucky."
Yu Yingying sat down and sighed in her heart. To be honest, she was afraid that she would never find someone who could let her cook and knit scarves by herself in her lifetime.
"Yingying, stop talking."
"My heart aches."
"Ning Anran has returned to the Ning family. So, do I have to apply for a report to see her in the future?"
Gu Xia thought about the several interactions with the Ning family in his previous life, and suddenly felt that this abnormal relationship between him and Ning Anran would most likely be severed.
In the past, she didn't like Ning Anran "offering" herself to her at every turn.
But now, without Ning Anran, she was even more sad and reluctant to leave Ning Anran.
With his hands on his cheeks, Gu Xia looked at his once favorite drink and lost all appetite.
"This... shouldn't be the case."
"But I never thought Ning Anran was so powerful. I still feel like this is just a dream. It's impossible for it to happen."
"But this does prove the saying, 'A dragon fathers a dragon, a phoenix fathers a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes.'"
Listening to Yu Yingying's adjectives, Gu Xia hid the booklet that Ning Anran handed to him again.
"Probably not, Xia Xia, have you ever heard a saying?"
Gao Fei took the drinks he ordered at the bar and also ordered two light meals.
"What?"
The main purpose of Gu Xia's visit this time was to listen to Gao Fei's analysis on how to avoid the Ning family and meet Ning Anran.
As for Yu Yingying who was sitting opposite her, this guy just provided an atmosphere for eating.
“Those involved are confused, but those who are on the sidelines can see more clearly.”
"I bet Ning Anran will continue to come to you, and she will come to you regardless of the consequences. Xia Xia...she likes you...I'm not sure if she likes this concept."
“But there must be pathological dependence.”
Sitting next to Yu Yingying, Gao Fei was wearing a pair of glasses today and looked quite knowledgeable.
"Yes, Xia Xia, Fei told me yesterday that she took psychology as an elective. Why don't you ask her in detail?!"
"Host, this system agrees with this!"
Gu Xia: “…”
Fei, much more useful than you.
“Pathological dependence…”
Gu Xia murmured softly.
"Yes, and it's a very serious one."
"Xia Xia, remember to turn your phone off at night. I think Ning Anran will probably call you."
"It could be her own will, or it could be a subconscious act driven by her body."
"But she can't leave you."
"Without you, she might have taken some pretty extreme actions."
Hearing this, Gu Xia sat up anxiously and asked quickly.
"What extreme behavior?"
Gao Fei lowered his eyes, took a sip of the drink in his hand, and spoke seriously.
"She'll die."
