697: Chapter 686: You, You’re Really Humorous 697: Chapter 686: You, You’re Really Humorous Before the eting, which was before five in the afternoon, Ning Fan had been spending quality ti with Xu Xiaoqing.
Perhaps it was because of what happened last night, but today, Xu Xiaoqing seed quieter than usual, previously lively and mischievous like a little witch, she now almost resembled a graceful young lady, which Ning Fan found quite unsettling.
Xu Xiaoqing made no demands for Ning Fan to take her anywhere, so the two of them just stayed at ho until it was almost ti for him to leave.
The young girl asked many questions that seed casual, as if rely making conversation, but they were all about Ning Fan.
Because of this, Ning Fan told her many stories.
Seeing right through her, Xu Xiaoqing wanted to understand him better through these stories.
Ning Fan noticed this and, without exposing her, went along with her wishes by altering so of his own experiences and recounting them in the form of similar stories.
“The person you’re talking about really sounds like a fool, much like you!”
After hearing Ning Fan’s story, Xu Xiaoqing said this with a light smile on her face.
Seeing her insincere deanor, Ning Fan smiled slightly, “People love such a fool, why do you think that is?”
“Fools have their own foolish blessings!”
Xu Xiaoqing pouted, replied in a delicate voice with her face blushing, looking playfully adorable.
Ning Fan shook his head, seeing the smile in Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes grow deeper.
After so conversation, Xu Xiaoqing finally returned to her usual self, no longer as timid and shy as before.
If Xu Xiaoqing were to distance herself from him because of what happened last night, Ning Fan would feel wrongly accused.
However, considering Xu Xiaoqing’s boldness the previous night, Ning Fan was now looking at this young girl with new respect.
“It’s about ti, I have other matters to attend to, I must go now.”
Checking the ti and seeing it was getting late, Ning Fan had to head to his scheduled eting.
Xu Xiaoqing imdiately felt reluctant, “Is it very important?”
Ning Fan nodded.
The person he was supposed to et today was indeed essential; otherwise, he would have canceled to stay and spend more ti with Xu Xiaoqing.
The young girl wasn’t the type to be petulant.
Having Ning Fan’s company for the day was already enough for her.
She nodded understandingly without further insistence.
Ning Fan affectionately ruffled Xu Xiaoqing’s hair, and she pouted, pretending to be angry as she glared at him.
Clearly enjoying it, her body was honest even if her expression wasn’t; she maintained this tsundere deanor.
No matter how many tis Ning Fan saw it, he never grew tired of it.
“Alright, your brother-in-law is leaving now!”
“I don’t want you to be my brother-in-law at all!”
“Whatever you say, hehe.”
“Hmph!”
Under Xu Xiaoqing’s reluctant gaze, Ning Fan left the house.
Standing at the doorway, feeling Xu Xiaoqing’s gaze finally fade away, Ning Fan shook his head.
The saying might be true after all, enduring a beauty’s kindness can be the hardest.
…
Ning Fan and Huo Qiuran had agreed yesterday on where to et: a high-end Western restaurant frequented by the wealthy and influential.
Following the waiter’s lead, Ning Fan arrived at a corner table by the window, which Huo Qiuran had reserved early on.
Ning Fan only had to give his na.
“A cup of black coffee, no sugar.
If I need anything else, I’ll let you know.”
They set off around five o’clock and it took half an hour to get here.
It was still early, but Ning Fan had arrived early.
After giving instructions to the waiter, Ning Fan tipped him, and the waiter respectfully withdrew, then soon returned with a cup of black coffee.
The steaming coffee emitted vapors as the restaurant resounded with the elongated lody of a violin.
Most people ca here for the elegant and noble atmosphere.
Since it was a formal date, Ning Fan had also dressed up a bit, wearing a sharply tailored suit that made him look irresistibly handso, his gaze out the window intense and spirited.
Ning Fan had agreed to et Huo Qiuran here in the evening, but he still arrived early.
He was always punctual, especially for such dates, always arriving at the agreed spot ahead of ti.
Ti passed quickly, with one song after another playing in the restaurant.
As night fell over Zhonghai, the twinkling neon lights illuminated the entire city, and Ning Fan had a perfect view of the enchanting night scene from where he was sitting.
“Ms.
Huo, welco!”
A graceful figure appeared at the restaurant’s entrance, catching the eyes of many.
“I have reserved a spot.”
The black dress accentuated Huo Qiuran’s perfect figure, and the bright lights scattered over her, revealing a charming presence.
Her striking face upheld her title as the “Queen” of Zhonghai, like a lofty, unattainable alpine flower.
The restaurant manager personally ca out to greet Huo Qiuran, speaking elegantly and respectfully, “Ms.
Huo, your appointnt has already arrived, please follow .”
“He has already arrived?!”
A flicker of surprise passed through Huo Qiuran’s eyes, and a smile appeared on her face.
Most people in the restaurant recognized Huo Qiuran, and it was rare to see her smile, which stunned everyone, sparking curiosity about who the “Queen” was eting today.
At that mont, Huo Qiuran, excited that Ning Fan had already arrived, paid no attention to the gazes of others and ignored the restaurant manager, heading straight towards Ning Fan’s location.
“Not necessary.”
Her cool voice drifted through the air as her figure inspired awe in many onlookers.
The manager still followed Huo Qiuran from a distance, anwhile instructing the restaurant staff to ensure they did not neglect Huo Qiuran.
“You’re here.”
Ning Fan’s voice filled Huo Qiuran with delight.
He admired her appearance today and did not hide the appreciation in his eyes.
“Hmm, have you been waiting long?”
Huo Qiuran looked at Ning Fan with a smile, touched by his early arrival, which reminded her of their first date when Ning Fan had also co more than an hour early.
Whenever she rembered that, she felt moved.
“I just got here.”
Ning Fan casually replied, and Huo Qiuran smiled helplessly, knowing better than to believe him if it weren’t for her understanding him.
Ding-a-ling—
Picking up a bell from the table, Ning Fan gently shook it.
Hearing the bell, the restaurant manager imdiately hurried over, followed by a male and a female server dressed in elegant tailcoats, holding the nu and standing respectfully by the table.
“Bring a bottle of Moutai.”
“Pfft!”
Huo Qiuran burst out laughing, knowing Ning Fan was doing it on purpose.
He had seriously requested Moutai, leaving the manager and the two waiters baffled.
“Just kidding, Louis XIII, call you if needed.”
“You…
really have a sense of humor, please wait a mont!”
