235 Wait for You

"I can tell that you like this pastel plate, and of course I'm willing to sell to you if you want it," Gu Ning said.

She didn't like this plate very much, and she could make friends with Master Gu by selling this plate to him.

"Really?" Gu Changjiang was a little surprised that Gu Ning would agree with alacrity. "Thank you so much! I won't deceive you either. This plate is worth around 1.5 million yuan, and I'll pay you 1.5 million yuan."

"I can give you a discount for a friend. One million yuan is enough, because it didn't cost me much money after all," Gu Ning said.

"No way! I don't want you to lose money, and I should pay you according to its market price." Gu Changjiang declined. Although this pastel plate didn't cost Gu Ning much money, it was worth a lot. Master Gu didn't want to take advantage of Gu Ning.

"Master Gu, please don't argue with me over money. It's no big deal. If you don't mind, I would like to call you my grandpa Gu. If you're willing to make friends with me, please listen to me this time," Gu Ning said.

"Well, alright. I listen to you this time, since you're willing to call me your grandpa." Gu Changjiang compromised, and had a good impression of Gu Ning. He had grandchildren who were the same age as Gu Ning, but they weren't by his side, and he missed them so much.

After a while, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left.

Gu Changjiang immediately called Qin Haozheng and told him what had just happened.

Qin Haozheng was also astonished that Gu Ning knew antiques. This young girl was indeed full of surprises. And it was hard for him not to appreciate this outstanding young girl.

He understood that Qin Yifan was upset because of Gu Ning these days, but it wasn't appropriate for him to get involved.

As Qin Yifan's father, he had never forced him to date Li Zhenzhen or other girls from super-rich families. Although he didn't want Qin Yifan to be with an ordinary girl, he wouldn't stop him if he found his true love.

Nevertheless, Qin Yiqing had already interfered in Qin Yifan's personal affairs, and Gu Ning had already rejected Qin Yifan. The Qin Family could do nothing to change it.

Situ Ye called Gu Ning again around 5 pm. And Leng Shaoting drove Gu Ning to the appointed restaurant. He was reluctant to see Gu Ning having a meal with Situ Ye, but he couldn't stop her.

Situ Ye was alone in the restaurant.

If Leng Shaoting hadn't told Gu Ning that Situ Ye treated her differently, Gu Ning wouldn't have noticed it.

How come Situ Ye, as the head of the Qing Gang, had time to dine with a teenage girl like her? And he even wanted to be with her alone, which meant that he did it on purpose. However, Situ Ye didn't say anything special to Gu Ning, probably because he wasn't sure about his feelings yet.

Gu Ning decided to stop it at the very beginning, because she didn't want it to end up like what had happened between Qin Yifan and her. It was too embarrassing for them to be friends now.

In addition, she wasn't willing to lose support from the Qing Gang.

When they were about to finish the meal, Gu Ning received Leng Shaoting's call. To let Situ Ye know that she wasn't single, Gu Ning didn't avoid Situ Ye but answered the call in a mild voice. "Hi."

"Is it done yet?" Leng Shaoting asked.

"Yeah, almost," Gu Ning replied.

"I'm waiting for you outside now," Leng Shaoting said. In fact, he had never left.

He was worried that Situ Ye would invite Gu Ning to watch a movie or shop together after the meal, so he called Gu Ning when he thought that they would almost be finished.

Gu Ning absolutely understood what was on Leng Shaoting's mind.

"Sure, I'll come to you later," Gu Ning said.

"Great, I'll wait for you." Leng Shaoting was delighted.

Situ Ye heard their talk and sensed their relationship from Gu Ning's tone, and felt disappointed.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Situ Ye asked.

"Yes!" Gu Ning said, and beamed with happiness. She looked in love.

"Then let's go now. I don't want to stop you from meeting your boyfriend." Situ Ye was a considerate man, and he only felt slightly bitter in his heart. Nevertheless, he wasn't very sad, because he hadn't figured out his feelings towards Gu Ning.

"I'm so sorry. Please allow me to invite you to dine together the next time I'm in City G," Gu Ning said.

"It's fine," Situ Ye replied.

After that, they went outside together.

Situ Ye watched Gu Ning getting in the car, but he avoided seeing the man on the driver's seat. He knew that Gu Ning's boyfriend had to be as outstanding as she was.

After Gu Ning got into the car, she asked Leng Shaoting, "Were you waiting for me the entire time?"

Gu Ning thought it was highly possible.

"Uh huh," Leng Shaoting answered.

"What? Were you worried that he'd invite me to watch a movie together?" Gu Ning teased.

A man who was chasing a woman would always invite her to dine or watch a movie together. It was romantic to sit side by side watching a movie.

Leng Shaoting flushed a little, but didn't deny it.

Gu Ning didn't know what to say, but it was a good chance to let Situ Ye know that she already had a boyfriend.

"Have you eaten yet?" Gu Ning asked.

"Yes." This time, Leng Shaoting didn't wait for her in starvation. It wasn't a short time, so he had gone to eat in the middle.

"Where shall we go next?" Gu Ning asked.

"No idea," Leng Shaoting said.

"Then let's have a drive around! And I'll go back home later," Gu Ning proposed.

In fact, as long as they were together, they felt happy and satisfied enough even just sitting in the car. Therefore, they decided to drive around the city and spend more time together.

The traffic was heavy in the downtown, so Leng Shaoting drove straight to the suburb.

Gu Ning accidentally noticed Gu Qinxiang's car outside of a living area when they passed by. There was a woman sitting in it, and Gu Ning recognized that she was Gu Qinxiang's secretary.
