350: Chapter 349: Let’s Get Engaged 350: Chapter 349: Let’s Get Engaged The issue between the Du Family and He Fangtuo was thus resolved, and Du Sanjiang and Du Dewei were extrely grateful to Ning Fan.
By the ti the matter had concluded, it was already late, so Ning Fan spent the night on the estate and didn’t give Du Sanjiang the opportunity to properly thank him.
Early the next morning, Ning Fan got up early and prepared to leave, and Du Dewei quickly notified Du Sanjiang.
With his wounds bandaged, Du Sanjiang, upon learning that Ning Fan was about to depart, imdiately ca to see him.
“God Doctor Ning, how can you leave just like this?
We haven’t had the chance to properly thank you for last night’s incident, please stay a few more days!”
Desperate, Du Sanjiang said to Ning Fan, worried that Ning Fan’s haste to leave was due to Du Sanjiang’s previous attitude, sothing that he feared Ning Fan still held against him.
Previously, Du Sanjiang had looked down on Ning Fan because of his youth, but as events had proven, Ning Fan truly had real skill, and was not soone to be offended lightly.
At this point, Du Sanjiang no longer begged to win Ning Fan over, if Ning Fan didn’t bla him for his previous attitude, he would be grateful enough.
Furthermore, regardless of Ning Fan’s strength, simply considering the way Ning Fan helped them deal with He Fangtuo’s matter, they owed it to him to keep him around longer, to show their hospitality and gratitude.
“Yes, God Doctor Ning, you’ve solved such a huge problem for us, we really must thank you properly, don’t be in such a rush to leave!”
Du Dewei also helped in urging Ning Fan to stay.
“God Doctor Ning, if it hadn’t been for you being here at the ti, the feud between and He Fangtuo surely would have ended in a fight to the death.
You not only saved my life but the whole Du Family!”
Appealing to emotion and reason, Du Sanjiang exaggerated the debt of gratitude in the hopes Ning Fan would stay longer so they could properly thank him.
Ning Fan was inwardly both amused and exasperated by Du Sanjiang’s anxious deanor, understanding that the man must still be frightened about his previous conduct.
In reality, once He Fangtuo beat up Du Sanjiang, Ning Fan had already vented his displeasure, and he no longer dwelled on the incident; Du Sanjiang and the others were clearly overthinking.
So the next mont, Ning Fan shook his head with a smile, “I have so matters to attend to, so I won’t stay.
There’s no need for thanks; I rely did what I should have done.”
Having said that, he didn’t wait for their response and turned to leave the Du Family estate.
Unable to stop Ning Fan, Du Sanjiang felt helpless.
The events of the previous night had a great psychological impact on him.
Whether to express gratitude or to apologize, Du Sanjiang wanted to keep Ning Fan around to properly host and thank him.
“Dewei, you must make good contact with God Doctor Ning later.
I was wrong in my attitude last night, and he has shown great kindness to our Du Family.
If there’s a chance, invite him to our Du Family as a guest!”
Speaking earnestly and with deep emotion, Du Sanjiang recalled last night’s events and thought of He Fangtuo, his expression turning complex.
“I understand, Second Uncle.
You should also rest well, your body…”
“My health is not a concern.
Apart from the matter with God Doctor Ning, you must see to the issue with He Fangtuo.
We must make things right, and I won’t tolerate any tampering with this matter!
Do you understand?”
“Understood!”
…
After resolving the matter with the Du Family, Ning Fan, upon receiving his car from the Du’s, imdiately set out non-stop to rush back to Xu Ruolan’s villa, and did not forget to send a text ssage to both Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing, informing them of his return.
But just as Ning Fan arrived back at the villa, instead of imdiately seeing either of the two sisters, Xu Ruolan or Xu Xiaoqing, it was their father, the Family Head of the Xu Family, Xu Chengyuan who greeted him with a beaming smile at the entrance, apparently having waited for so ti.
“God Doctor Ning, you’re finally back!”
“Family Head Xu, what brings you here?
Are you here to visit Xiaoqing and the others?”
Ning Fan looked at Xu Chengyuan with surprise.
It had been so ti since he last saw Chengyuan, and he didn’t expect to see him first upon his return, instead of the Xu sisters.
Xu Chengyuan imdiately explained, “I heard that God Doctor Ning had left Zhonghai, and now that you’re back, I’ve co specially to receive you.
I’ve already booked a banquet at Zhonghai International Hotel to welco you back!”
Welco back?
Ning Fan laughed.
He had only been away for a few days to visit the little orphan village, yet on his return, Chengyuan managed to throw such a reception, what was this all about?
“Of course, Ruolan will definitely be there, too.
God Doctor Ning, you mustn’t refuse!”
After learning of Ning Fan’s return, Chengyuan had arranged everything, but what he truly had in mind, only he knew.
Ning Fan’s mouth twitched, and he glanced at the villa, which seed to be empty at this hour.
Considering that it was payed with good intent, Ning Fan didn’t plan to refuse and nodded in agreent, “Then alright, I would be ungracious to decline.”
“Hahaha, great, let’s go.
You can ride with in my car!”
Xu Chengyuan laughed contentedly, and they both headed to the hotel in his car.
Once inside the private room, Chengyuan first made sure Ning Fan was seated comfortably, then sat beside him and started to ask all sorts of questions with great interest.
Initially, Ning Fan answered casually, but after a while, Chengyuan’s questions beca a bit odd.
“God Doctor Ning, what do you think of my daughter Ruolan?”
Xu Chengyuan’s eyes glimred with an unusual light.
Due to Chengyuan’s line of questioning, Ning Fan almost blurted out his true feelings subconsciously.
Thankfully, he caught himself in ti.
As a father, he was asking about his daughter, and Ning Fan was not oblivious to the old man’s thoughts.
So that was why he was waiting for him; no wonder Chengyuan seed to be unusually effusive today.
However, Ning Fan didn’t take it to heart and, after thinking a bit, nodded, “She’s alright, I guess.”
Unexpectedly, Chengyuan’s eyes brightened at that response, and he wore an incredibly sleazy grin, looking just like an old fox.
“God Doctor Ning, then do you have any special feelings for Ruolan?
Perhaps we could arrange their engagent?”
“Pfft, cough cough cough…
Engagent?”
Ning Fan inadvertently spit out a mouthful of tea all over Xu Chengyuan’s face.
But it was as if Chengyuan, this thick-skinned old fox, hardly minded; his smile did not diminish as he continued to look at Ning Fan full of anticipation.
“God Doctor Ning, please drink slowly, don’t choke,” Chengyuan remarked.
Chengyuan pulled out a napkin, but instead of wiping his tea-soaked face, he handed it to Ning Fan.
“Right, regarding what I just proposed, God Doctor Ning, how do you feel about it?”
