And she couldn’t stop meeting new men, because she needed to build up her network.
Gu Ning rolled to face Leng Shaoting and asked,
Are you being jealous just because I have a male friend?


He is chasing you.
Leng Shaoting didn’t deny the fact that he was jealous, but if Situ Ye wasn’t chasing Gu Ning, he wouldn’t be jealous.

What? No!
Gu Ning was quiet surprised. She didn’t believe it, because she didn’t think that Situ Ye treated her differently.

How do you know that?
Gu Ning asked.



Man’s instinct,
Leng Shaoting said with confidence.

Ha-ha,
Gu Ning couldn’t help laughing out loud. Even if Situ Ye was chasing her, she wouldn’t accept him.

Do you lack self-confidence, or don’t you trust me?
Gu Ning joked.
Leng Shaoting looked at Gu Ning deeply, but remained quiet. He didn’t know the answer either.
Gu Ning knew what was in Leng Shaoting’s mind. Even if he didn’t trust her, she wouldn’t blame him. They had just been together for a short time, and it was normal that he felt insecure.
If Gu Ning hadn’t been familiar with Leng Shaoting, she would have felt threatened too, because the man was so handsome and sexy.

Unless you betray me, I won’t hurt you,
Gu Ning promised with sincerity to allay Leng Shaoting’s worries. She then approached him and gave him a light kiss.
However, Leng Shaoting wasn’t willing to let her go after he got to enjoy the taste. He immediately kissed her with great force.
Leng Shaoting wasn’t skillful at kissing, so it took him a while to find the right way. His lips rubbed across hers for a long time before his tongue went in between her beautiful teeth and into her mouth. He pressed her to him, and her whole body was under his. It was the first time that Gu Ning had been so close to a man. She lost all her energy, indulging herself in the warmness.
They shared a lingering kiss, and Leng Shaoting started to get dissatisfied with the status quo. His hands began to move around her body.


Gu Ning trembled out of sexual excitement. Although she didn’t mind making love with Leng Shaoting, she wasn’t mentally prepared yet, so she wanted to push him away. However, she tried in vain, because her body had already given up. She could only let Leng Shaoting continue kissing her passionately.
Feeling that Gu Ning was a little out of breath, Leng Shaoting’s kiss moved to her cheeks and neck. Her skin was smooth and smelled so good due to the nourishment of her power. Leng Shaoting just couldn’t stop.
All of a sudden, a loud sound of someone closing a door outside surprised Leng Shaoting. He got his mind back at once. Although this hotel had outstanding sound insulation, with his acute hearing, Leng Shaoting was able to hear any sound outside.
Seeing Gu Ning flushed with slightly swollen lips, Leng Shaoting panicked.
Ningning, I’m sorry, I just…


It’s fine.
Gu Ning took a long breath in to calm herself down, and smiled gently. She didn’t mind, but was simply not mentally prepared yet.
Leng Shaoting didn’t dare to continue, and tried to fall asleep with Gu Ning in his arms, but it was very hard for a man to sleep right after such a long, passionate kiss. Gu Ning, on the other hand, fell asleep within a short time.
Leng Shaoting didn’t fall asleep until it was very late.
The next morning, Leng Shaoting was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window thinking about something when Gu Ning woke up.

What are you thinking?
Gu Ning opened her mouth.
Leng Shaoting turned back, looking at her.
Oh, nothing. Do you want to have breakfast out or in here?




Let’s go out. The plane will be taking off at 9:30 am. We can have breakfast before we head to the airport,
Gu Ning said.
They packed up and went to the restaurant for breakfast.
There were exclusive shuttle cars in the restore, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting took the car arranged by the hotel.
Gu Ning called K after her breakfast and told him that she was leaving for City F.
K proposed to send her to the airport, but Gu Ning declined.
Gu Ning didn’t avoid Leng Shaoting, so he got to know the reason why Gu Ning came to City D this time, from their talk on the phone.
After they hung up, Leng Shaoting asked with surprise,
You can cure disease?


Yes,
Gu Ning didn’t deny it, nor explain further.
However, Leng Shaoting was slightly dissatisfied that Gu Ning flew all the way to City D just to make a deal with the man on the phone.
If you wanted to investigate something, why didn’t you ask me for help?

Gu Ning explained,
You’ve already helped me a lot, but I can’t count on you forever. And I need a helpful assistant. He’s a famous hacker called K. It’s to my great advantage that he’s willing to help me.



Leng Shaoting didn’t insist then.
He knew that Gu Ning was running a startup and needed talent, so he wouldn’t prevent her from hiring skilled workers and building a network. The only thing he needed to do was to give her a helping hand when she needed and stop other men who wanted to chase her from getting near.
…
When they arrived at City F, they went to dine in a restaurant first.
After the meal, Leng Shaoting was unwilling to be apart from Gu Ning, so Gu Ning didn’t go home right away. Instead, they went to the street of antiques.
She hadn’t been to the street of antiques for a long time, and she missed the time when she could pick up a real antique from a stand by accident. Leng Shaoting was of course willing to do anything as long as he was with Gu Ning.
Leng Shaoting immediately called someone to send a car to him. After 10 minutes, the car arrived. Leng Shaoting then drove the car, going to the street of antiques with Gu Ning.
On the way, Gu Ning called Gu Man and told her mother that she was back, and would be back home tonight.
The street of antiques was still the same as the first time that Gu Ning had been here. Most of the objects were fake and it was hard to find a real one.

Do you like antiques?
Leng Shaoting asked, seeing Gu Ning so focused on the objects.



Yes,
Gu Ning answered.

I have some, I’ll send them to you later,
Leng Shaoting said.

Well, I just enjoy discovering and picking up a real one from a mass of them. I’m not really interested in collecting them,
Gu Ning said.
