Chapter 812 - Gu Ning Is Ignored

812 Gu Ning Is Ignored

It’s not that easy. I must find someone who likes me and that I also like, or it’ll be boring,
An Ran said.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. Most people fell in love with someone who disliked them, and they didn’t like those who admired them either. Thinking of that, An Ran shook her head.
Forget it. Just let fate lead the way.

After that, she looked at Cao Wenxin.
If you really are going to have a boyfriend soon, he must buy us a meal. We’re close friends after all!

It wasn’t done yet, so An Ran didn’t ask Cao Wenxin who the man was, neither did Gao Chengyun.

No problem!
Cao Wenxin beamed.
They stayed in the café, and continued to talk about their business.
Around 35 minutes later, Cao Wenxin’s phone rang again, and the caller was, of course, Xin Bei.
Cao Wenxin picked it up at once.
Have you arrived?


Yeah, we’re downstairs,
Xin Bei said.

Great, I’m coming,
Cao Wenxin said, then hung up. She took her bag and said,
Well, I gotta go now.


Bye-bye.
An Ran waved her hand.

Bye,
Gao Chengyun said to Cao Wenxin.
After Cao Wenxin was gone, An Ran sighed and said to Gao Chengyun with deep sympathy,
I think you can give up now.

An Ran knew that Gao Chengyun had admired Cao Wenxin from afar for a long time, but he never confessed his affection towards her.
Sometimes, she wanted to help, but Cao Wenxin’s attitude was quite clear, so she did nothing. At the same time, she also understood that it was impossible to force two people to be together if there was no love between them.

You’re right,
Gao Chengyun said. He gave up, but still felt sad.

Don’t be so sad. It’s very normal to fall in love with someone who doesn’t like you. Time will cure everything.
An Ran comforted him.

Thanks.
Gao Chengyun wore a wry smile. Time would indeed cure everything, but the process was also painful.
Once Cao Wenxin walked downstairs, she saw Xin Bei standing there waiting for her. She got nervous in an instant, and didn’t dare to meet his eyes.

Can you tell me your answer now?
Xin Bei stared straight at her.

W-What do you mean?
Cao Wenxin pretended that she didn’t understand what Xin Bei was asking.
Xin Bei knew that she felt shy, and beamed with happiness. Since Cao Wenxin was willing to meet him, it meant that she agreed to be his girlfriend.

Will you be my girlfriend?
Xin Bei asked directly. It was the first time that he had been so brave and straightforward in his life.

Well…
Cao Wenxin flushed.

Will you?
Xin Bei asked again.

Yes,
Cao Wenxin said, and lowered her head.
Hearing that, Xin Bei was excited. If they hadn’t been in a public place, he would have hugged and kissed her.
Seeing as everything was going as planned, Xin Bei was going to give Cao Wenxin something.

Wait a second,
he said, then walked to the counter. There was a large bunch of red roses placed on it, which was prepared by Xin Bei.

Here, this is for you,
Xin Bei said to Cao Wenxin.
Cao Wenxin felt like crying now, and her eyes were wet with joyful tears. Although it wasn’t the first time that she had received flowers, it was the first time that she had felt so happy about it.
Cao Wenxin took the large bunch of roses, and Xin Bei held her hand, walking outside.
Xin Bei had told Xu Jinchen to leave when they arrived here, because he wanted to spend some time alone with Cao Wenxin. Even though Xu Jinchen wanted to stay and gossip, he was afraid that he might get hurt again, so he drove the car to Jinlin Hotel.
He was the only one who was left alone now.

It’s still early. Why don’t we go for a walk?
Xin Bei said.

Sure.
Cao Wenxin smiled. She didn’t care where they were going, but felt happy and satisfied being with Xin Bei.
…
Gu Ning, at the same time, didn’t leave for the hotel at once, but went to the Tang family’s house.
She was in City B now, so she should visit the Tang family.
It was still work time, so Tang Yunfan was absent, and only Tang Haifeng, Jiang Lihua and Gu Man were in the house. Tang Haifeng was reading in his study, while Jiang Lihua and Gu Man were trimming the trees and flowers and chatting in the garden.
There were gardeners in the Tang family, but Jiang Lihua would do it herself when she was home, because she thought it was fun.

Oh, Ningning is coming!

The moment the car drove inside, Jiang Lihua and Gu Man knew that Gu Ning was coming, so they put down the tools in their hands and walked towards the car.
When they saw Leng Shaoting get out of the car along with Gu Ning, both of them were surprised.

Shaoting?

They were very glad to see Leng Shaoting. Although they used to think that it wasn’t a good thing for Gu Ning to have a boyfriend at such an early age, Leng Shaoting left a good impression on them afterwards, and they now thought highly of him.

Nice to see you!
Leng Shaoting greet them.

You don’t need to bring so many gifts every time!
Jiang Lihua said when she noticed the big and small bags in Leng Shaoting’s hands. They knew that Leng Shaoting did it out of kindness, but they already accepted him as a member of their family.

I won’t the next time,
Leng Shaoting said, although he would do the same thing again.
After that, Jiang Lihua and Gu Man walked in with Leng Shaoting, and directly ignored Gu Ning.
Gu Ning felt a little embarrassed and rubbed her nose. It seemed her mother and aunt liked Leng Shaoting more than her now.
