It was rare for Xu Fei to not know that Northern Alley was bought by Ning Anlan. Ning Anlan was afraid that people would find out and specifically used an assumed name, Li San. Looking at Xu Fei's breathtaking face, he probably did not expect this Li San to be such a beauty.
"Then, what is your government planning to do with this? I want to know where my land is located." Ning Anlan adjusted his posture, not looking like he was easy to talk to.
Xu Fei froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ning Anlan to ask such a question. After all, normal people were the first to ask about the price, so who would care about what this land was used for?
"This is not suitable for disclosure. Furthermore, I am only here to purchase this land, so I do not know what exactly this land is here for." Xu Fei smiled, casually lifting his glasses.
Ning Anlan frowned. The government wouldn't want to buy Northside Alley for no reason at all, so they must have some plan.
"You don't know? Then let's change it to someone else who knows. " Ning Anlan picked up his handbag, took out a few pieces of cash, and neatly placed them on the table. "Waiter, pay up."
Then without looking back, he walked away on his high heels.
"An Lan, why are you here?" Just as Ning Anlan was about to leave the room, he heard a familiar voice. His back stiffened. He had never expected to meet Bai Zhixuan here.
This coffee shop was one of Ning Anlan's favorite places in her previous life. It was beautiful, quiet, and suited for discussing matters. However, she forgot that Baiwei Xuan also liked coming here, and this life was no exception.
"What a coincidence." Ning Anlan didn't want to see him again. He owed him too much in his previous life, so he definitely wouldn't involve himself in this one.
In addition to what happened at that charity dinner a few days ago, Ning Anlan felt even more ashamed to see Bai Zhixuan. He would definitely misunderstand.
However, it was also good to misunderstand. This way, he would be able to give up on her. He was worth it.
"I just saw your back looking like you, I didn't expect it to really be you." Bai Wei Xuan smiled warmly. It felt like a warm spring breeze to the eyes, and Ning Anlan's mood improved a little. Being with Bai Wei Xuan made him feel very comfortable.
Bai Wei Xuan didn't have Ning Anlan's memories of his past life. Now that he saw Ning Anlan, Ning Anlan had only seen him when he was young.
"Why is Director Bai here?" The formalization of Ning Anlan's tone and his apathetic attitude made Bai Huixuan a little upset, but he maintained his smile and didn't want Ning Anlan to see anything.
"We've known each other for so many years, there's no need to be so formal. You can just call me Wei Xuan. Calling him Director Bai seems really unfamiliar. I just had a business discussion with a rather difficult customer and almost failed."
Bai Huixuan smiled slightly. Ning Anlan couldn't refuse such a simple title. Since he had already requested for it, it would be a bit unfair if she refused.
"You're too modest. How could you not sign it when you came out?" These words were true. Whether it was a man or a woman, it was rare for them to survive under the courtesy and courtesy of Baiwei Xuan. Many people would be captivated by the charm of Baiwei Xuan and sign the contract with him.
"You're praising me. Since you've already seen it, let's have a meal together. I know there's a pretty good restaurant, so you'll definitely like it."
Bai Tianxuan's gentle voice made Ning Anlan absent-minded. It was as if he had returned to his previous life. Many times when she had collapsed, Bai Tianxuan had also been as gentle as he was now.
Ning Anlan shook his head as he rubbed his empty stomach. Rice could be eaten anywhere, but he absolutely could not eat with Bai Zhixuan.
"No, I've already made an appointment with the ancient city." Ning Anlan smiled. Once they moved out of the ancient city, Bai Zhixuan wouldn't be able to persevere.
However, Bai Zhixuan was stunned for a moment, and then he covered his lips and laughed, "But as far as I know, the ancient city already flew out to travel this morning, and they will only be back for at least three days. Are you sure that you and he have an appointment today?"
Ning Anlan only felt his face redden a bit when he heard Bai Zhixuan's words. She really wasn't a person who was suited for lying. If she lied, someone would expose her.
They had just bumped into each other so they had a meal together. Ning Anlan didn't want to refuse anymore.
"Maybe I remembered wrong. I'm also hungry, so let's have a meal together."
In the end, it was still Bai Zhixuan's small place, and she was the one that he often brought her to in his previous life. It seemed that Bai Zhixuan was truly the same as in his previous life.
"How about you and the ancient city?" After the dishes were ordered, Bai Zhixuan drank a mouthful of tea, looked at the table, and tentatively asked.
Ning Anlan lowered her eyes. She and the ancient city were merely using each other's strengths. They didn't have any feelings for each other, but she couldn't tell him that.
"Him and me, we're pretty good. What's wrong?" Ning Anlan's tone was indifferent, sounding as if he didn't want to talk to others, as if he was very impatient.
He wanted Ning Anlan and the ancient city to be fine, but he also didn't want them to be fine. He was very conflicted; ever since their last meeting, he could no longer control himself from thinking about her.
It was a pity that they met again too late. She already had the ancient city by her side, and they seemed to be getting along quite well. Bai Zhixuan forced a smile, and Ning Anlan's heart throbbed slightly.
"That's good."
He was left speechless for a while. Ning Anlan also didn't want to bring up any topic. Bai Zhixuan wanted to say something, but he felt that Ning Anlan probably didn't want to bother with him.
"You didn't look too good just now. Did something happen?" Bai Weizheng suddenly recalled that when he was at the coffee shop, Ning Anlan's complexion didn't seem to be too good. He didn't know if something had happened to him, but he was somewhat worried.
Ning Anlan knew that he was being cautious, but he was still surprised that he noticed it. He didn't expect him to notice it as well with that slight expression on his face.
Sighing slightly, Ning Anlan felt that there was nothing to hide from Bai Weizheng.
"Nothing much. A while ago, I bought a piece of land, but today the government is looking for me to buy it. I still don't know if I should sell it or not."
Ning Anlan shook his head, looking a little distressed.
"Is the price not satisfactory or what's going on?" Bai Zhixuan hadn't thought of this after hearing Ning Anlan's words. He thought it was a matter of work, but he didn't expect it to be something like this.
"This is a long story, I can't explain it in one sentence. I bought a plot of land and it has risen in value recently, the government came to me and said they want to buy it, but the price isn't a problem. The problem is, I want to know what they want to do after buying it."
