Chapter 229 Xia Xia, why are you staring at Ning Anran’s phone?
"Xia Xia, I bought this dessert, don't you like it?"
"If you don't like it, I'll go over and queue up to buy it for you right now."
Ning Anran walked over with a brown paper bag in her hand. The exquisite little box contained light yellow lemon mousse.
Her long hair fell from her black coat, and her slender white fingers completely wrapped around the small box.
The two people are very close.
Almost only separated by that small box.
"I didn't say I didn't like it, I quite like it."
"fine."
"But, Ning Anran, after you had your follow-up checkup at the hospital, did you come straight here to buy a cake?"
Gu Xia didn't look at the lemon mousse in the box, but instead looked directly at Ning Anran's fair profile.
Xia Xia is really becoming more and more perceptive.
Ning Anran nodded.
"I came directly here to buy a cake. There are a lot of people here. I asked my assistant to make an appointment for me in advance."
"Otherwise, I might not be able to buy what you like today, Xia Xia."
The soft flesh on her cheek was pinched, and Gu Xia's fingers were warm.
After pulling it hard, Gu Xia sighed.
Then he immediately let go.
She lowered her head to help Ning Anran zip up her black jacket. The zipper made a soft sound until it reached her chest, and then Gu Xia unzipped it.
"I know you care about me, but next time you can just ask your assistant to buy it. Why come out alone?"
"You've just recovered from your illness. What if the wind blows and you catch a cold?"
With the back of her hand against her forehead, Ning Anran subconsciously closed her eyes slightly. The loose hair on her forehead was pressed under the back of Gu Xia's hand, but the corners of her lips could hardly be suppressed.
"Ning Anran, I'm telling you, don't neglect your body, it will make me sad."
Gu Xia's soft tone stunned Yu Yingying, who was stuffing dessert into her mouth with a fork, and she almost choked to death on a piece of cake.
Family members, is this right?
Did the sun rise from the west today?
How come Gu Xia is so gentle?
This is simply a typical mom-type girlfriend!
She knew that these two often played the identity-swap game in private! Hehe, they never got tired of playing it all day long, right?
Move all the things on the bed onto the table!
"Know."
"Xia Xia, you care about me."
With her other hand covering Gu Xia's palm, Ning Anran gently clasped Gu Xia's fingers.
He was just testing her body temperature when Ning Anran forced her fingers towards him. This time, Gu Xia really experienced what it meant to have a clingy girlfriend.
Before, even if Ning Anran wanted to stick to her, she was always very restrained and would keep her distance from her.
But now, as long as he relaxes a little and doesn't pay attention, Ning Anran will hug his waist and hold his fingers around him.
Sometimes, Ning Anran would even use his soft lips to place a wet kiss on her neck.
"Just keep it in mind, I won't say anything more."
Gu Xia let her fingers be held, enjoying the rare peace between them.
At this time, the big screen in the mall was broadcasting a news.
The host, dressed in a suit and tie, had a serious expression and spoke clearly.
"It's reported that at 10:25 this morning, Tenghui Group issued a notice, announcing to major media outlets that all 12 of its senior executives had resigned. Three of them were involved in tax evasion, while the others were involved in misdemeanor activities such as embezzling public funds and using public office for personal gain—"
Gao Fei, who had been silent all the time, raised his head at this time and stared at the big screen in front of him.
Gao Fei knew clearly that Tenghui Group was a subsidiary of the Ning family, and most of its members were members of the Ning family.
Similarly, Tenghui Group has always been in competition with Yuanye Group.
This constant competition in "raising insects" is also the reason why the Ning family can stand firm in the business world. Even though it is cruel, the rewards are proportional.
However, the current chairman of Yuanye Group is Mr. Ning’s most favored son, the eldest son of the Ning family, Ning Yunshen.
This seemingly fair and just "competition" actually has a tilted scale.
The expulsion of so many people at once was obviously the work of Mr. Ning, and definitely not Ning Yunshen and Wen Wanbai who were rooted in Yuanye Group and had no say in the affairs of Tenghui Group.
"Dear viewers, here's a news interruption. W Group responded at 11:00 AM today, stating that due to Tenghui Group's breach of trust with consumers, they will cancel a series of products they collaborated with Tenghui Group on, and will no longer launch any series of collaborations in the future."
The person in power behind "W" is the Wen family.
This is also the maternal family of Wen Wanbai, Ning Yunshen's marriage partner.
It is conceivable that the Wen family was the first to speak out about Ning Anran's injury. After Tenghui Group announced the dismissal of senior executives, they immediately poured a bucket of cold water on them.
Looking at the familiar faces of the Ning family, being surrounded by reporters and the presence of the police.
Gu Xia didn't say anything.
Making them lose everything and ruin their reputation is just the beginning of revenge.
"Xia Xia, do you hate them?"
Ning Anran just took a quick glance and her eyes continued to stick to Gu Xia. She moved closer and leaned against Gu Xia's shoulder.
"It's not appropriate to talk about this outside, Ning Anran, please keep your voice down."
Pulling Ning Anran, Gu Xia took her into a store on the corner.
"I originally said that I would bring you out for dinner after you had your follow-up check at the hospital."
"But since you're here, have a good meal."
Hand over the menu.
Gu Xia pointed at the dishes above, her eyes full of smiles.
"Thank you, Xia Xia."
After taking the menu, Ning Anran carefully selected the dishes that Gu Xia liked.
Gu Xia glanced and saw Ning Anran's cell phone lying upside down on the table.
In the past, Ning Anran didn’t have the habit of holding her phone upside down. She would even just put the phone next to her with the lock screen on.
Gu Xia sensed something was wrong and glanced at Ning Anran who was talking to the waiter, and his suspicions grew even stronger.
Why, she always felt that today's encounter with Ning Anran didn't seem like an encounter.
"Xia Xia, what are you looking at?"
"Why are you staring at—"
Yu Yingying, who had just sat down, did not say the rest of the sentence, but Ning Anran had already handed her the menu.
"Ms. Gao, Miss Yu hasn't ordered yet, right? Xia Xia and I have already chosen ours."
Her tone was casual, and she didn't seem curious at all about what she was going to say to Gu Xia.
A very good girlfriend type who is just enough to get by.
"What would you two like to order? Our restaurant's signature feature is—"
Seeing this, the waiter immediately started introducing the dishes. The question Yu Yingying was about to ask was interrupted, and Gao Fei took the menu.
"Let me have some."
Seeing that she had rescued her, Yu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out her cell phone.
"Fei Fei, you order. You know what I like to eat. I'll reply to your message first."
Although she said she was replying to the message, Yu Yingying immediately opened the social account of Gu Xia who was sitting next to her and started typing with her fingertips.
"Xia Xia, why are you staring at Ning Anran's phone? Are you suspecting she's cheating on you?!"
