As expected, Ning Bo was very satisfied with Ning Anlan's engagement to the ancient city. However, he also said that it was fine for the ancient city to marry Ning Anlan, but if the ancient city dared to bully Ning Anlan, then he wouldn't tolerate it.
Ning Anlan was very surprised that Ning Bo could say such words, but what surprised her even more was that the Gu family was truly wealthy. Within three short days, they had produced a custom-made, high-class gown.
The press conference was scheduled to be held three days later. This event was quite a sensation and attracted the envious gaze of countless people.
After all, the identity of the ancient city and Ning Anlan were truly eye-catching. The two families were a powerful alliance, destined to be a match that would make the world jealous.
Most people expressed their jealousy, while the other half expressed their envy. There were also some who sank into pain.
Bai Zhixuan watched Ning Anlan on the TV, his fists clenched tightly as his breathing unconsciously became heavier.
He had originally wanted to watch the news, but the moment he switched on the television, he saw the news conference between Ancient City and Ning Anlan announcing their engagement.
Ning Anlan had a faint smile on his face. He looked like a fairy from the mortal world, making people unable to open their eyes when they saw him.
Right now, he really had an impulse to drive to the location where Ning Anlan and the ancient city's press conference would be held, and then snatch Ning Anlan away so that they wouldn't be engaged.
However, he couldn't. He was just an ordinary friend of Ning Anlan's. He couldn't even be considered an ordinary friend. He wouldn't even rush over to snatch Ning Anlan away.
Because, he knew that Ning Anlan wouldn't leave with him. Bai Zhixuan's eyes were closed in pain. He knew his feelings for Ning Anlan, but he hadn't thought that he'd have such deep feelings for Ning Anlan.
Now that he had really lost it, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his left atrium, so painful that he could no longer breathe.
He regretted not taking action earlier and not reappearing in front of Ning Anlan. Ning Anlan belonged to someone else, and he had already lost her forever.
He was not in good health and could not drink too much. He had always been very self-disciplined, but today he wanted to indulge himself and have a hearty drink.
Although the press conference was short, it had already caused a huge uproar in the society. There were discussions everywhere about the engagement between Ning Anlan and the ancient city. Ning Anlan raised his eyebrows. He really didn't know why they were so interested in discussing this sort of thing.
After such a long time of smirking, Ning Anlan felt really tired. She wanted to go back to sleep, but … She promised to go home with him today.
After all, they had already held a press conference, and their relationship had already been announced to the public. The engagement banquet would also be arranged for three days later, so there was nothing wrong with letting Ning Anlan go back to the Gu family for a meal in the ancient city.
Moreover, according to the ancient city, there was someone in the Gu family who wanted to see her. Although Ning Anlan didn't know who she was, he still had to go and take a look.
Ning Anlan didn't want to know who it was, so it didn't matter. The Gu family wasn't normal anyway, so Ning Anlan wasn't afraid of whoever it was.
As soon as he entered the door, Ning Anlan saw something rushing towards him and hugged the ancient city beside him.
Ning Anlan's heart thumped in his chest, a bit frightened.
"Ah Cheng, you're finally back. Aunt has been waiting for you for a long time." Before Ning Anlan could see who was pouncing on the ancient city, an alluring voice sounded.
Ning Anlan was a bit tall, and he lowered his head slightly at this moment. He saw a very refined woman with beautiful red lips and a red dress. She looked very charming, but she said she was the ancient city's aunt? But her maintenance was too good, she was like a sibling standing with the ancient city.
However, this person said that she was the ancient city's aunt. Moreover, she had already jumped onto the ancient city. If the ancient city didn't seem to be angry, then there was only one possibility, and that was that this woman was Gu Hua Xi.
I heard that this is the only aunt of the ancient city. Moreover, this aunt was widowed at such a young age, so she was bold and straightforward. She treated the ancient city very well, and the ancient city also respected her.
"Aunt, this is Ning Anlan." The corner of the ancient city's mouth twitched as he hastily changed the topic, shifting Gu Hua Xi's attention to Ning An Lan.
As expected, after hearing the words of the ancient city, Gu Hua Xi's gaze immediately fell on Ning An Lan. Moreover, he had let go of the ancient city.
Ning Anlan was visibly relieved when he saw the ancient city and looked at her with interest.
If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people here, Ning Anlan really wanted to curse out loud. This ancient city really knew how to cheat her.
"Hello, aunt." Ning Anlan cursed in her heart as the ancient city shifted Gu Hua Xi's attention to Ning Anlan. However, she still had to politely greet him.
After all, she was annoyed with the ancient city and not with Gu Hua Xi. At least, until now, Ning An Lan's impression of Gu Hua Xi was quite good.
Ning Anlan's tone was very obedient. Looking at Ning Anlan's likeable face, it was obvious that Gu Hua Xi liked Ning Anlan very much.
It had been a long time since she'd seen this person that suited her. Ning Anlan was one of them.
"Good girl." Gu Hua Xi looked at Ning An Lan. No matter how she looked at it, she found Ning An Lan pleasing to the eye. Perhaps some people were born with a magnetic field, so Gu Hua Xi felt that Ning An Lan and those bewitching beauties from outside were very pleasing to the eye. The goods were different.
"Come come come, come sit." Gu Hua Xi was a little warm to Ning An Lan. It was so warm that Ning An Lan was a little surprised. However, Ning An Lan didn't resist, because she could feel that Gu Hua Xi didn't have any ill intentions.
When the ancient city saw Gu Hua Xi's actions, its face stiffened. It never thought that Gu Hua Xi would completely ignore him after seeing Ning An Lan.
"Thank you, aunt." Ning Anlan wore a smile on his face. He looked like an angel who had just descended from the heavens, ignorant of the affairs of the world. The more Gu Hua looked at him, the more he liked him.
"There's no need to be polite, we're all family." He then seemed to have thought of something all of a sudden. "How long have you been with the ancient city, eh? "How did you know him?"
Gu Hua Xi curiously asked, looking like she was gossiping. Ning An Lan was completely flabbergasted. She really didn't know how to answer, nor did she expect Gu Hua Xi to ask such a question.
Could it be that she was together with the ancient city because they slept together and felt that cooperation was beneficial for both sides?
No, they shouldn't be said to be together. They were only engaged, not together.
