Bai Weizheng's gentle voice made people feel as if they were bathed in spring wind. How could Ning Anlan be angry with him? He shook his head.
"No, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have had to deal with her." Ning Anlan smiled faintly. He felt that this scene was very familiar, as if he had returned to his previous life and helped her countless times.
The two of them walked to a quiet place and sat down. Ning Anlan combed through his hair and saw a familiar figure flash past.
Ning Anlan frowned. Her figure was graceful, and she was slightly curvy. Her every move was graceful, but she seemed to be in a hurry. If she wasn't Fu Yaoqin, then who else could she be?
It wasn't strange for Fu Yaqin to come to such an occasion to make friends. However, why was she in such a hurry? She didn't even see Ning Anlan.
The place where Ning Anlan and Baiwei were sitting was on the edge of the hall. There were many rooms beside it, all very quiet.
What was Fu Yaoqin doing over there? Ning Anlan frowned. Fu Yaoqin walked to the door of a room. The door opened and a head came out. The two of them spoke for a while before Fu Yaoqin entered.
The one who slipped out of his brain was a man, and he looked very familiar to Ning Anlan. It was as if he was Zhang Qi from one of the Ning Family's higher-ups.
Fu Yaoqin's social network had always been very wide, so it wasn't hard for her to get to know Zhang. However, why were the two of them sneaking around? This was very strange.
"What's wrong?" Baiwei Xuan's gentle voice rang in Ning Anlan's ears. Ning Anlan came back to his senses and picked up a glass of champagne.
There was no water for this banquet, so Ning Anlan could only use this to deal with it.
"It's nothing. I just saw someone I know." Ning Anlan smiled. She had been reincarnated. In her previous life, Bai Zhixuan had helped her a lot, so she could only remember not seeing him for one or two years at most.
However, for Bai Zhixuan, he hadn't seen her since childhood. It had been a long time since he had last seen her, and Ning Anlan had only changed from a cute child to a cold and proud beauty.
It was the same breathtaking scene, the same scene that made one's mind go blank.
"After so many years, are you alright?" Bai Weizheng knew that asking such a vulgar and vulgar question was quite vulgar. In fact, over the years, he had more or less heard about Ning Anlan's affairs on the news and in others' mouths, and he now had a general understanding of his many years of life.
But even so, he still wanted to ask.
"All these years, that's all." Ning Anlan lowered her eyes. In their eyes, she had only lived for more than 20 years. In reality, she had lived for two lifetimes.
All these years, all the hardships he had endured, all the grievances he had suffered and all the miserable deaths he had suffered in the end had all turned into this. That was all he had to do.
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation. Ning Anlan turned around and saw the ancient city striding towards them.
"You're here." Ning Anlan put down the champagne and stood up. It was getting late, and she wanted to ask if it was time to go.
"From your words, it seems like I shouldn't have come here." The tone of the ancient city was a bit different than usual. He raised his eyebrows, glanced at Bai Weizheng, and then looked at Ning Anlan.
Ning Anlan frowned. He didn't know who had provoked the ancient city, but he felt that it was a bit weird.
"I can come." Ning Anlan's tone was cold, and his expression was remote as well.
"Long time no see, Young Master Bai. How's your health?" Although not everyone knew about Bai Weizheng's condition, but these upper class people all knew about this. It was the same for the ancient city. Now, they seemed to be very concerned about him.
"Sorry for troubling Director Gu, your health hasn't been too bad these few days." Bai Zhixuan still had the appearance of a dashing young master, but he was completely different from the strange and eerie ancient city he was now in.
"Mm, I can see that. I think Young Master Bai has been having quite a good time these days. chatting happily with my female companion."
The ancient city smiled and gently held Ning Anlan's arm. Although the action looked quite gentle, in reality, the ancient city had used some strength, so Ning Anlan was unable to break free.
Since the ancient city had arrived, they had attracted the attention of many people. If Ning Anlan had broken free now, these people would have surely noticed something.
Thinking of this, Ning Anlan obediently stayed in the arms of the ancient city.
When Bai Weizheng saw this scene, he felt a bit uncomfortable. He had always thought that the matter between the ancient city and Ning Anlan was just a play for everyone. But now, it seemed that those rumors were not without reason.
However, Bai Zhixuan still forced a smile as he looked at Ning Anlan, even though he felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
"Just now, Miss Ning was harassed. I couldn't stand watching her being harassed. That was why I helped her." It sounded as if he was trying to explain something to the ancient city. Ning Anlan frowned. Bai Zhixuan didn't need to explain anything to the ancient city.
"So that's how it is. I'll thank you on behalf of An Lan here. We still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first." As the ancient city spoke, they didn't even give Ning Anlan and Bai Zhixuan a chance to bid farewell. They turned around and walked away with Ning Anlan in their arms.
Ning Anlan couldn't get rid of him now, but he held in his anger. Wasn't this ancient city a little too arrogant? Why would they need to thank Bai Wei Xuan for her?
Was it because she was talking to other men as his date today that made him angry?
That was really too funny. She saw with her own eyes that there were a few women surrounding him, yet she didn't say anything.
Perhaps she was a woman that was incompetent, but what right did the ancient city have to care so much?
"Can you let go of me now?" The banquet hall was very big. The ancient city had Ning Anlan in their arms, and after walking for a while, they had already left Bai Zhixuan's sight. Ning Anlan stopped, and his tone was ice-cold.
The ancient city lowered its head, only to see Ning Anlan raise his head and look at him. His usually calm and tranquil eyes were now suffused with a trace of anger.
Thinking of this, the ancient city let go of Ning Anlan. Realizing that he might have been impulsive just now, the ancient city adjusted his tie.
"Let's go back." The ancient city looked at the time. It was not early anymore. He had wasted too much time at this banquet. It was time to leave.
"Yes." She didn't have any feelings for the ancient city, only a mutually beneficial relationship. No matter what the mentality of the ancient city had been, the things they had done had nothing to do with her, but as his partner today, she needed to act along with him.
Now that she could leave, she naturally wanted to.
