C82 The Goodwill of Gu Xian'er

"Then I really have to thank Miss Gu for her concern." Ning Anlan's face was as cold as ice. Although he wanted to thank Gu Xian'er, in reality, Gu Xian'er's face stiffened slightly upon hearing his thanks.

Gu Xian'er wanted to say something, but Ning Anlan suddenly looked at her and smiled. "I appreciate Miss Gu's kindness, but I still have to work, so I won't be sending you off."

Ning Anlan's smile was not a smile. It was clear that he was sending Gu Xian'er off. Gu Xian'er was already out of the ocean, so if she didn't leave now, her face would be too thick.

Thinking up to here, although Gu Xian'er still couldn't quite accept it, she could only pick up her bag and the photos she showed Ning Anlan and left in a dejected manner.

Although she failed the first time, she couldn't shake Gu Xian'er's resolve. She had to break up the ancient city and Ning Anlan. Even if they couldn't break it apart, she couldn't let them get away with it.

"Since this method isn't feasible, then Gu Xian'er can only use another method. Since she was young, she has always been good at acting and acting dumb. This time, she can't continue acting dumb in front of Ning Anlan."

Previously, she'd underestimated Ning Anlan and didn't really understand him, so she hadn't succeeded. This time, she had to find a different method.

In a few days, Ning Anlan's life would be even worse than death. He was so tired from getting engaged, not to mention getting married, and the engagement in the ancient city must be the best. Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, Old Man Gu wouldn't agree.

After the engagement, Ning Anlan received a call from Gu Xian'er without resting for even a few days.

"Sister Anlan, do you have any matters to attend to tomorrow? I know of a newly opened western restaurant. Not only is the environment especially beautiful, but it also has a very proper style. I'm thinking that if you have nothing else to do tomorrow, you should come with me tomorrow." Gu Xian'er's voice was extremely sweet, if it was anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have the heart to reject her.

However, Ning Anlan wasn't one to take advantage of her. Some people might look sweet on the surface, but they might not be ruthless on the inside.

Since she had nothing to offer, Ning Anlan didn't think that she had any good intentions. Furthermore, she didn't feel that they were that close.

"No, I still need to work." Ning Anlan had already formed a habit of using work as an excuse in 80% of cases, no matter who she rejected. However, this excuse would be successful in 80% of cases.

"Work is so boring. No one would reject delicious food. When you taste it, the satisfaction in your heart is self-evident." Gu Xian'er's words were indeed tempting, but Ning Anlan wouldn't be swayed by her words.

Actually, Gu Xian'er had already been bothering Ning Anlan for several days, as if she was sincere in wanting to befriend him. If she didn't know what kind of person Gu Xian'er was, Ning Anlan might really have been tricked by her.

"Let's hang up first. I still have a meeting to attend." Ning Anlan hung up the phone without waiting for Gu Xian'er's reply. Normally speaking, Ning Anlan wouldn't be so rude, but towards this Gu Xian'er, Ning Anlan didn't have the slightest bit of patience.

Seeing that she was hung up again by Ning Anlan, Gu Xian'er angrily threw her phone onto the ground. These days, no matter what reason she had to go to Yanning, she was rejected by Ning Anlan.

However, if Ning Anlan didn't come out, her plan would be impossible to carry out, and she wouldn't be able to split the two of them.

With that in mind, Gu Xian'er once again fell into deep thought. If she called Ning Anlan, he wouldn't come out at all, unless …

Gu Xian'er seemed to have thought of something and sneered. Since there was no way to call her out, she could only personally go over and drag her out.

She didn't believe that she could still refuse when she appeared in front of her.

As usual, Ning Anlan had to work overtime at the company before she could leave. However, she didn't expect Gu Xian'er to be standing in front of her company's entrance.

Furthermore, from the looks of it, she had probably been waiting for a long time. Ning Anlan frowned, not knowing what this Gu Xian'er was up to.

"Sister Anlan, you came out. You must have finished your work today. I'm sure you must be exhausted. It's a good time for us to relax."

Gu Xian'er's intimate gesture made her want to hold onto Ning Anlan's arm, but Ning Anlan quickly dodged her. Gu Xian'er awkwardly stopped her hand in mid-air, and the corner of her mouth twitched. This Ning Anlan was really something. No matter what, he wouldn't give her face.

"No, I should go home." Ning Anlan's face was cold and detached. His intentions of rejecting Gu Xian'er were also very clear, and he obviously didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Although Ning Anlan's intentions were very clear, Gu Xian'er still had to pretend to be stupid when she thought about tonight's plan. She had to trick Ning Anlan into going.

"Big Sister An Lan, just treat it as giving me face. Today is just a small gathering, and I won't hold you up for too long. It's just to celebrate my birthday, so you should go. I really hope that you can go." Gu Xian'er was acting cute, just like Ning Anlan's obedient little sister. If Ning Anlan refused, then it would mean that she was really too heartless.

After all, Gu Xian'er had already said that today was her birthday, and it was only a small gathering, so it wouldn't take her too long.

Ning Anlan frowned. It seemed like this Gu Xian'er had made up her mind. She had to go today, but that was fine. She also wanted to know what was going on.

"Alright, let's go." Seeing that Ning Anlan had finally let go, Gu Xian'er seemed very happy. She affectionately took his hand and followed her into the car.

The place that Gu Xian'er had booked was in a bar, which was different from what Ning Anlan had imagined. He originally thought that they were all hooligans, but he didn't expect them to be really pretentious.

However, one could not judge a person by their appearance. Who knew what these people looked like? Ning Anlan also appeared to be out of place with them. Gu Xian'er had been trying to persuade her to drink, but Ning Anlan had refused.

No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't tell that Gu Xian'er was having her birthday.

"I'll be leaving first." This place wasn't suitable for Ning Anlan. Ning Anlan didn't even know any of these people and had nothing to talk about.

Even though these people who claimed to be Gu Xian'er's friends had always been trying to get close to Ning Anlan, especially those men.
