626 Relaxing
The next morning, Chu Ning woke up early. She greeted her parents and left with her suitcase.
Although she was going to B City to look for someone, Chu Ning was still very happy as, this time, Yan Shen had invited her out to have fun.
At first, Chu Ning had planned to keep a respectful distance from Yan Shen, the original male lead. However, as they got along later, she gradually realized that he was a pretty good person.
It was no wonder that the original female lead liked him so much. He was handsome, outstanding, and had a good family background. Even Chu Ning, who usually only focused on her studies and career, occasionally felt flustered when they were together.
Chu Ning shook her head. She didn’t want to overthink things. There was still a lot of time in the future. She would take it one step at a time.
At the entrance of the station, Yan Shen wearing a white shirt and jeans, dragging a black suitcase. When he saw Chu Ning’s figure not far away, he smiled and waved his hand. “Over here! Chu Ning!”
Chu Ning also caught sight of him. She walked up to him and took him in. “Not bad, handsome guy.”
The smile on Yan Shen’s face deepened. “You’re not too bad yourself. I thought President Chu would be wearing a suit. I didn’t expect you to be so…youthful and beautiful.”
There was undisguised amazement and admiration in Yan Shen’s eyes. He had long known that Chu Ning was extraordinary, but, unlike the time she had dressed up meticulously at the party, the vitality that she casually revealed today made his heart beat wildly.
At the thought of his illness, the smile on Yan Shen’s face was slightly tinged with bitterness. Such a girl with a bright future was really quite attractive to him, who had already reached the end of his road.
Chu Ning saw his expression. “You’re also quite talkative. You’ve changed a lot during this period of time.”
Yan Shen didn’t want to say much. “Not too bad. Let’s go. The bus is about to enter the station.”
It was not a long drive. They arrived at B City in half a day. The pair got out of the car and went straight to the hotel.
Chu Ning stood at the door of the room. She looked at the luxurious suite and fell into deep thought. “Boss Yan is really generous. I haven’t even booked a luxury suite before.”
Yan Shen was about to enter the room next door. When he heard this, he casually said, “This is my family’s hotel. There’s no need to fork anything out.”
Chu Ning choked. She had almost forgotten that he was also a young master. However, enjoying oneself was of utmost importance when out to have fun. She quickly packed up. She was going to have lunch at this hotel. She had long heard that the food served at the restaurant in this hotel was mouth-watering.
After packing up, Chu Ning changed into a strapless dress. She didn’t usually wear dresses. This dress had been stuffed into her suitcase the previous day by Mother Chu when she heard that she would be going out with a male classmate.
Sitting on the bed, Chu Ning took out her phone and called Bai Hong. “How has it been, being with my fifth brother?”
Something was said at the other end of the phone and Chu Ning smiled. “I have something to talk to you about. I remember the first time I saw you, you were working as a bodyguard for the Zhao family in B City, right? Do you have any connections in B City?”
Hearing the doubts on the other end, Chu Ning was also aware of his concerns. “I won’t provoke any big shots. I’m just looking for someone.”
After chatting for a while more, Chu Ning hung up the phone. She looked at the contact information in her email and decided to make the call at night. She felt that, in this line of work, they always acted at night.
Yan Shen knocked on the door. “Chu Ning, shall we go and eat?”
When Chu Ning heard that it was mealtime, she leapt up from the bed. “Coming, coming!”
Chu Ning opened the door and looked up. An expectant face was reflected in Yan Shen’s eyes.
Yan Shen looked at Chu Ning’s exquisite little face. Her eyes were shining with anticipation. Yan Shen couldn’t help but think to himself, “So someone’s eyes really can shine.”
Yan Shen couldn’t help but shift his gaze away, but he saw the dress on Chu Ning. This dress was very simple, but the exposed shoulders were fair and rounded, and it gripped Chu Ning’s waistline tightly.
Yan Shen’s Adam’s apple bobbed and he gulped. Chu Ning saw that he seemed to be stunned. She reached out and waved her hand in front of him. “Yan Shen, Yan Shen? What’s wrong with you? Aren’t we going to eat?”
Yan Shen suddenly came back to his senses. “Oh…Yes, that’s right. Come on, let’s go and eat.”
Although Chu Ning was a little puzzled as to why he was in a daze, she did not ask further. There was a bounce in her step at the thought that she would soon be able to taste delicious food. Yan Shen followed behind her and gazed at her. He was no longer a child. Moreover, his family had been urging him to get engaged to his sister. He knew very well that he liked Chu Ning.
Chu Ning used to chase after him, but now it was unknown how she felt about him. What was more…Yan Shen thought of the few pages of the examination report. He had better not hold back such a good girl.
