Ning Fan took the flowers, casually saying, "Our gift is the most fitting, wilted flowers and withered willows are just right..."
Looking at the already withered roses, Xiaohui, who was already in a bad mood, almost lost her temper hearing the words "wilted flowers and withered willows."
The other four also cast unhappy glances.
Especially the two suitors, whose eyes looked like they wanted to devour soone.
Lan Kexin softly called, "Ning Fan..."
"My bad for speaking poorly. It should be beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman."
Saying this, Ning Fan stretched out his hand, "Birthday star. Could it be you dislike the gift? These wilted flowers and withered willows still cost us almost two hundred..."
"Thanks a lot."
Xiaohui reluctantly took the bouquet, thinking that if she delayed any longer, she'd hear sothing even more unpleasant.
"Kexin, is this your boyfriend?"
Xiaohui said with a sarcastic tone, sizing up Ning Fan as if she were picking vegetables at the market.
Lan Kexin was taken aback, then shyly nodded. This was her first ti publicly acknowledging her relationship with Ning Fan.
"Mr. Ning, where do you work?"
"I just work as a small-ti security guard to make a living," Ning Fan chuckled, "Not like you elites."
"Humph! At least you know your place."
Xiaohui nodded secretly, just about to give so advice when she was almost enraged by the next sentence.
"Unlike Miss Yang, who just needs to move her lips a bit to receive gifts worth my half-year's salary."
"What do you an?"
Xiaohui flared up, as this was clearly a jab implying she exploits her birthday for gifts.
"It's my fault for being uneducated. I don't speak well," Ning Fan said casually, "I ant Miss Yang has a wide social circle, making friends with so many n..."
Seeing Xiaohui's face turn white with anger, Lan Kexin secretly stepped on Ning Fan's foot and quickly said, "Forget it, Xiaohui. Don't bother with him."
The male suitors discreetly sneered, "Mr. Ning, being a young security guard is not a good job. Co to my company, and I guarantee you'll get better benefits than before."
"Yeah. Nowadays, only n who are lazy and unskilled want to be security guards."
"Since you're friends with Xiaohui, I'll lend you a hand."
…
Listening to this pointless chatter, Ning Fan nodded in response out of consideration for Lan Kexin.
In front of Ning Fan, these people showed off with a sense of superiority, but he had no intention of proving them wrong.
There's no point when the opponent is too weak; even if he shuts them up, he gains nothing but diminishes his own standing.
Seeing Ning Fan seated with a nonchalant expression, the others silently cursed, "Ingrate."
"Xiaohui, let's go dance!"
They quickly left the booth as if avoiding the plague,
Before leaving, Xiaohui intentionally said, "Take your ti drinking, soone's picking up the tab today anyway."
"What a joke!"
Ning Fan held his glass, feeling sowhat choked.
"Ning Fan, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Lan Kexin's apologetic face, Ning Fan smiled and said, "It's okay."
Lan Kexin said softly, "Actually, I know she's this kind of person."
"Then why do you still co!"
Ning Fan was speechless. This Yang Xiaohui was completely a sharp-tongued snob, he just couldn't understand how the two beca best friends.
"Actually, I wanted to introduce you to my friends."
"I don't care to et..."
Saying this halfway, Ning Fan suddenly realized sothing.
Lan Kexin's real intention was to introduce her boyfriend to her friends.
"Kexin, you silly girl."
Ning Fan embraced Lan Kexin tightly in his arms.
Even though the two had been together for a while, they always t secretly, not really like a couple.
Lan Kexin didn't want to make things difficult for Ning Fan but wanted to share this with soone, even if it was soone with a bad personality like Yang Xiaohui.
Ning Fan softly said, "Kexin, give so ti. I'll handle this."
In this regard, Ning Fan was indeed selfish, never considering Lan Kexin's feelings, instead being smug about the thrill of clandestine etings.
"Hmm!"
Lan Kexin nodded vigorously, being such a naive girl, she was willing to wait forever once she gave her heart.
"Let's go dance!"
It seed it was the first ti Lan Kexin danced in a club, her whole body stiff and unable to relax.
"Relax, I've got you."
Unlike others dancing frantically to the beats, the two simply held each other quietly, not influenced by the electric music rhythm.
"Kexin, co dance with us."
Not far away, Xiaohui shouted, attracting quite a few people to dance with her due to her flirtatious behavior.
Faced with her best friend's invitation, Lan Kexin smiled and shook her head, declining.
"Humph!"
Noticing Yang Xiaohui's blatant eye-roll, Lan Kexin's face paled,
"Don't mind that witch," Ning Fan didn't hide his disdain, "Your bestie is no good, try not to keep in contact with her."
"I'll listen to you, I won't contact her again."
Thinking Lan Kexin would say sothing else, this sentence moved Ning Fan directly.
Tianlan Bar was similar to any other bar, with a dance floor and circular bar in the middle, surrounded by booths and private rooms.
Bars always were places of debauchery, where people would seek solace or conduct shady money dealings.
Several tis, won with heavy makeup, disregarding Lan Kexin's presence, approached Ning Fan to discuss business.
Besides this point, everything else was good, at least there wasn't any fighting or trouble.
"Let's take a break."
Since the truth was out, Ning Fan naturally wouldn't go back but booked another spot.
Passing the circular bar, Ning Fan suddenly turned his head.
A woman with dyed red hair, wearing lace stockings and an off-shoulder tank top, was leaning on the bar with a cigarette.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Ning Fan shook his head, feeling that woman's back was very familiar, but he couldn't quite place it.
"No way, do I know a woman with such low taste in clothing?"
In bars, won dressed like this were generally in special services.
After thinking for a while, Ning Fan thought he was just overthinking.
Poof...
While drinking, an unexpected Ning Fan suddenly spat out his drink.
Lan Kexin patted Ning Fan's back, concerned, "Are you okay? Did you choke?"
"I'm fine!"
Ning Fan shook his head, his expression turning strange as he looked at the bar.
The woman he found familiar was actually Baby Hai.
Though it was just a side view, Ning Fan was sure he wasn't mistaken.
Seeing this scene was what made Ning Fan lose his composure.
"Could this be an unknown side of Baby Hai?"
After thinking, Ning Fan quickly dismissed this malicious thought. Knowing Baby Hai, she definitely wasn't a casual woman.
"Could it be she's on so mission?"
Ning Fan's eyes glead as he scanned the room, indeed noticing so unusual things.
