However, Leng Shaoting wasn’t back yet, so Gu Ning would wait until he came back.
That afternoon, Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning and told her that his task was fulfilled. It was time for dinner, so Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting to meet her at a restaurant beside the hotel where they stayed.
Half an hour later, Gu Ning arrived and Leng Shaoting was already waiting for her.
Once she opened the door, her eyes met his. They had missed each other so much even though they had just been apart for two days. Maybe it was because they were madly in love now. However, there was a waiter in the private room. Otherwise, Leng Shaoting would have run over and hugged Gu Ning in his arms.
The minute that the waiter left, Leng Shaoting couldn’t wait and immediately pressed Gu Ning to him. He held her body tightly. After a while, seeing that Leng Shaoting had no intention to let her go, Gu Ning struggled a little. “Alright, if the waiter comes in suddenly, it’ll be embarrassing.”
Leng Shaoting then let her go reluctantly. If they hadn’t been in a public place, Leng Shaoting would have done much more than just hugging her tightly.
Even though Leng Shaoting sat apart from Gu Ning, his eyes were fixed on her. Like if he moved his sight away, Gu Ning would disappear.
Gu Ning felt uneasy and asked, “Why are you staring at me all the time?”
“I want to look at you,” Leng Shaoting said gently with affection.
“I forbid you to do that,” Gu Ning pretended to be mad.
“No, I insist.” Leng Shaoting still fixed his eyes on Gu Ning.
Gu Ning laughed, and left it. “When will you be leaving for the capital?”
“No idea, but I’m free now.” Leng Shaoting had told Xu Jinchen and the others to go back to the capital but he stayed. Leng Shaoting had always been mysterious, so Xu Jinchen and others just gossiped sometimes but didn’t ask further. They understood that Leng Shaoting was involved in both military and business.
In fact, Leng Shaoting had many things to deal with, but he didn’t need to deal with them in person, so he cleared his schedule to keep Gu Ning company.
“I’m free too, and I’m going to the capital tomorrow,” Gu Ning said.
“Sure, then we can go to the capital together,” Leng Shaoting said.
Before long, the dishes were on the table. Leng Shaoting had ordered many for Gu Ning.
During the meal, Leng Shaoting kept putting different dished into Gu Ning’s bowl, and they soon piled up. “What are you doing? I’m not a pig!” Gu Ning was a little mad.
“Don’t worry. You can eat as slowly as you want. You’re so slim and I’m worried that you’re not really eating normally.” Leng Shaoting ignored Gu Ning’s complaint.
Gu Ning was slim, but she was healthy too. Moreover, she was satisfied with her body.
“I don’t think that I’m too slim. I think my body is fine!” Gu Ning retorted.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting’s sight scanned Gu Ning’s body from head to toe. Gu Ning flushed and immediately dropped the topic.
...
The next day around 8 am, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left together for the airport.
Zheng Peng, Gao Yi and Qiao Ya would help Gu Ning manage her business in City Teng while she was absent. The Wang Family was totally doomed, so her companies would be safe.
Before she left, Gu Ning also called Zhang Decheng to say good-bye. Zhang Decheng invited her to have a meal together, but the time was limited so he was disappointed when she declined. Zhang Decheng had already made up his mind to make friends with Gu Ning.
Gu Ning had spent a week in City Teng, and she had to be back to City F five days before the New Year festival, so she could only stay in the capital for another week.
When they were getting aboard, Gu Ning had mixed emotions, because she was heading to the place which she was most familiar with in her previous incarnation. She didn’t know whether she would meet her enemies, nor her reaction when she really met them.
Although now she thought that she wouldn’t lose her mind, she had no idea whether she could stay calm when they appeared in her sight. Would she lose control and attack them?
Thinking of Qi Ziyue and Tang Yaxin, Gu Ning couldn’t help being mad. “What’s wrong?” Leng Shaoting held her hand in his palm and asked worriedly having sensed her emotional change.
“Nothing. I’m just wondering how I can find a good office building for my company in the capital,” Gu Ning smiled to him.
“Let me help,” Leng Shaoting said without hesitation.
“Sure, thanks!” Gu Ning didn’t reject. The capital fell within the spread of Leng Shaoting’s influence, and it would be much easier for him to handle something than if Gu Ning did it herself. Gu Ning understood that she should make full use of her network.
Leng Shaoting was happy that Gu Ning agreed.
However, Gu Ning didn’t relax even though Leng Shaoting was with her. She still felt nervous and angry.
It took two hours to fly from City Teng to the capital. Gu Ning wasn’t in a good mood, and didn’t feel like talking, so she leaned against Leng Shaoting’s shoulder and closed her eyes.
Leng Shaoting thought that Gu Ning was tired, so he didn’t bother her.
Both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sat in first class. Gu Ning sat by the window and Leng Shaoting sat by the aisle.
