On the other end of the phone was a man's voice, cold and arrogant. His tone was filled with a chill, like ice from the Arctic floating. The temperature of the entire room seemed to drop a few degrees because of his simple sentence.

"Eating on Huai'an Road."

It was rare for Gu Ruoyun to hide the frivolous tone in her voice, the expression on her face could even be described as serious.

"Come here now, I'll be waiting for you."

Gu Ruoyun didn't immediately reply him with a command tone that was out of the question. It was a little difficult, she was with An Ning.

"Hmm?"

The man on the other end of the phone keenly sensed Gu Ruoyun's hesitation and asked a question that he didn't understand. However, Gu Ruoyun clearly understood him very well and understood that he was already angry at this point. There was only one way to calm his anger.

"I understand. I'll go over now."

The man on the other end of the line got the answer he wanted and hung up without a word.

Gu Ruoyun held onto the phone that had automatically hung up and returned to the history record page, but she didn't move. In her eyes, there was a trace of helplessness.

On the long record, there was no name on the top line. Instead, there was a strange "Y" symbol. The instant An Ning pushed open the door and entered, Gu Ruoyun pressed the 'breath screen' button, and naturally flipped her phone upside down on the table.

"I'm sorry, An Ning. I have some matters to attend to so I'll be leaving first. I'll treat you to this meal!" "You can treat me again when I have time to eat a good meal!"

As Gu Ruoyun spoke, she stood up, took her handbag and put the phone inside, pushing on her sunglasses with one hand.

"Are you in a hurry? I'll go with you. I've finished eating too! "

Gu Ruoyun opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. In the end, she chose to shut it up and silently put on her mask.

"Alright, let's go!"

The two of them parted ways in front of the restaurant. Gu Ruoyun had originally wanted to send An Ning off, but remembering that the man had been waiting for a long time for her to get angry, she could only give a few instructions for An Ning to send a message home before driving away.

This was a bustling area, but An Ning stood at the door for ten minutes without seeing a single taxi.

An Ning helplessly threw the tissue she was using to wipe her sweat into the trash can. She decided to walk for a while and see if she could get a taxi from the neighboring block.

He hadn't walked far when his phone started buzzing. An Ning fished out the phone in a flurry of hands and feet, only to find that it was Xu Wang calling.

"Xu Wang?"

"Mm, where are you now?"

There was a hint of a smile in Xu Wang's voice, but An Ning didn't mind. She looked around but couldn't find any landmarks, so she decided not to speak anymore.

"Eating outside, is there anything you need?"

"Turn around!"

Not too far away, Xu Wang was dressed in casual attire, a white top, and straight jeans. He looked just like a college student who had just emerged from university.

Their gazes met, and they felt An Ning's surprise and surprise. Xu Wang's smile was very brilliant, and his smile was even a bit proud that her little scheme had succeeded.

After exchanging a few words with a man dressed in black, Xu Wang quickly ran over to An Ning.

"Can't we get a car?"

Seeing An Ning's expression, Xu Wang asked in an understanding manner. After hearing An Ning's affirmation, Xu Wang raised an eyebrow.

"Mm, you were lucky enough to meet 'Prince Charming'. Let's go, the car is over there!"

Xu Wang pointed to a car park behind them. Taking the lead, he walked forward. An Ning hurriedly followed behind him.

Being able to meet Xu Wang and An Ning here was indeed quite a pleasant surprise. Ever since they moved out of the Xu Family, the two of them had barely met. As An Ning walked, she secretly sized up Xu Wang from the corner of her eyes.

When she had left the Xu Family in a refusal, An Ning had been worried that she would harm Xu Wang, so she had not dared to contact him. Seeing that he had remained as gentle and mellow as before, she felt at ease.

"Why are you here too?"

The two of them walked side by side in silence. The atmosphere was a little awkward, so An Ning took the initiative to speak up.

"I came here to eat with a friend, the one just now."

A car passed by quickly on the sidewalk. Xu Wang raised his hand and led An Ning to him as he explained.

An Ning couldn't help but look at Xu Wang's attire. Business friends? Is it really good to be dressed so casually? An Ning recalled the man she saw standing next to Xu Wang a moment ago. He was still wearing a suit and his shirt was buttoned to the very top of his shirt. When she looked at Xu Wang again, a row of black lines appeared on her forehead.

Xu Wang also felt An Ning's thoughts as he tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"He's just an ordinary friend when we're not talking about business. It's fine if he's casual, but he's just like that, strict like a lawyer."

An Ning nodded her head in agreement. From that man's temperament, if Xu Wang hadn't said that he was a businessman, An Ning really would have thought that he was engaged in a career like that of a lawyer or teacher.

As the two of them spoke, they arrived at the car. Xu Wang opened the car door and carefully protected An Ning's head with her palm. After seeing her properly seated, he went around to the driver's seat and started the car.

The two of them had been friends for many years, and since they were engaged in the same profession, there were a lot of topics to talk about. The half an hour drive was over quickly, and the car was parked downstairs.

He didn't continue to insist. Just as An Ning was about to get out of the car, her seat belt seemed to be stuck in place. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it.

Covered in Xu Wang's aura, An Ning awkwardly leaned against the back of her seat until she heard Xu Wang's "Alright," before she heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to get out of the car.

She waved her hand and watched as Xu Wang turned around and left. Only then did An Ning turn and walk leisurely into the corridor.

Just as she reached the door, a man suddenly appeared out of nowhere. An Ning was frightened out of her wits and took two steps back, nearly falling to the ground.

She wanted to struggle out of a conditioned reflex, but all her actions stopped when she smelled the man's familiar scent.

"You and Xu Wang went out on a date?"

Jiang Jia's cold voice sounded heavy in An Ning's ear, bringing along a chill and a few barely discernible hidden bitterness.

From his point of view, the way Xu Wang unbuckled An Ning's seatbelt was like a kiss. Who knew how much restraint Jiang Xiao had to put in before he didn't rush up.
