Chapter 142: If We Don't See Each Other Again

  This is obviously a bit too familiar, and his words are also somewhat problematic. If he just toasted himself, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he had to say that he was toasting on behalf of Lu Qing, which isn't equivalent to revealing that their relationship is unusual?

  "Lu Qing, is this your colleague?" Gao Feng felt a bit displeased in his heart, but he didn't show it. He asked this question on purpose to figure out what kind of relationship Lu Qing had with this guy named Chang Mingming.

  "Ah, colleague." Lu Qing nodded and smiled faintly at Chang Mingming: "Chang Ge, we're having a university classmate gathering."

  "Oh, so it's a class reunion. Well, in that case, I won't disturb you two, Lu Qing. I also have friends over there." Chang Mingming wasn't stupid and somewhat understood the implicit meaning behind Lu Qing's words. "However, meeting each other is fate, let me toast to you both first."

  Chang Mingming asked his boss for a cup, poured himself a beer, raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

  "I'll go first, you guys do as you like." Putting down his cup, Chang Mingming smiled and said, "I'll head over there, Lu Qing, you all enjoy yourselves."

  Chang Ming quickly got up and left, walking to a table tens of meters away from them and sat down. He still waved his hand at Lu Qing from afar, while there was one man and two women at their table.

  "Lu Qing, what's going on with this guy? Is he chasing you?" Gao Feng asked at this time.

  "It's okay, I guess." Lu Qing said with a bit of helplessness. "He always acts like we have an unusual relationship in the bank, and now many people are misunderstanding us. On one hand, he hasn't really done anything to me, on the other hand, he is the nephew of our bank's vice president, so I can only tolerate it."

  "Lu Qing, it seems you need a guardian angel. High Peak sighed, "Otherwise, while we're all here, let's help teach that kid a lesson? We can go over and knock him out cold. Actually, I think Ning Fan alone could take care of him."

  "Never mind, I still have to work at the bank anyway. It's not good to offend him too much." Lu Qing shook her head and said.

  "Alright, let's wait for a while and go back first." Gaofeng also didn't want to say anything more. After all, this was Lu Qing's matter, and if he had to take her place and speak out of turn, it would only affect her work, which would be counterproductive.

  Ding ding ding......

  Ning Fan's phone rang, and he subconsciously thought it was Wu Yi calling, so he quickly took out his phone. But as soon as he looked at it, a surge of indescribable emotions welled up in his heart - there was bitterness, helplessness, and a hint of sadness.

  On the phone screen, a familiar name appeared, Tongtong.

  "Anything?" Ning Fan hesitated for a moment before answering the phone, trying to sound as calm as possible. He knew that most likely, Tong Hua had told Tong Xiu about what happened here during his childhood.

  "I heard you're in Haicheng, I'd like to meet up and have a chat." The familiar voice came through, it was Tonghua.

  "I think we don't need to talk face-to-face anymore." Ning Fan said slowly after taking a deep breath.

  The three of them suddenly fell silent as they suddenly began to realize who Ning Fan was on the phone with.

  "I'll be at the Seaside Garden Hotel lobby. If you don't see me, we won't part." Tong Hua said lightly and then hung up the phone.

  Ning Fan put down his phone and remained silent for a long time, looking somewhat dazed.

  "Is Ning Fan calling from a fairy tale?" Lu Qing finally couldn't help but ask after a while.

  "Yes, I met her brother before, and now she's asking me out." Ning Fan said with a bitter smile.

  "Then where are you going?" Gaofeng hastily asked.

  "There's no need to go." Ning Fan shook his head, "Forget it, let's just keep drinking."

  "No, it's no good if she doesn't go. She's already engaged to someone else, what's the point of going?" Gaofeng nodded vigorously, "Brother, you'll definitely find someone better than her!"

  A white-clad figure appeared before his eyes, those captivating eyes seemed to be gazing at him gently, and Ning Fan's heart rose with a faint warmth. He didn't know if she was better, but perhaps, she was the more suitable one.

  "Ning Fan, don't be too hard on yourself. Honestly, I really think this isn't your loss, it's a loss for the fairy tale." Hu Qiang said seriously at this time.

  "Yes, Ning Fan, there are even better girls waiting for you." Lu Qing said with a hint of implication.

  "You don't have to comfort me, and you don't have to worry about me, really, I'm fine." Ning Fan looked at the three of them with a rather sincere expression. "It's been so long since it happened, and I've actually stopped caring that much already. It's just that you all know as well, having been together with her for such a long time, wanting me to completely let go all at once isn't that easy, but I really am fine."

  The next second, Ning Fan's face revealed a hint of an unusual expression, and he said with a half-joking tone: "Lu Qing, it seems like you're going to have something happen again."

  "What's up with me..." Lu Qing didn't finish her sentence when she heard a voice from behind, "Lu Qing, come and let me introduce you to someone."

  Lu Qing suddenly felt a bit depressed, this voice, no need to turn around, just knew it was Chang Mingming.

  Turning her head, Lu Qing saw that apart from Chang Mingming, there was also a young man in his thirties. This man's appearance was also quite ordinary, only slightly better than Chang Mingming.

  "Lu Qing, this is my cousin, Han Gong." Chang Mingming had a smile on his face, "Uh, he's the son of my uncle, you know."

  "Hello, Mr. Han." Lu Qing had to stand up, she understood Chang Mingming's meaning, this cousin of his, Han Gong, was the son of their bank's Vice President Han.

  "Hello, Miss Lu." Han Gong smiled slightly. "Now that I've seen you in person, I finally understand why Mingming always mentions you. You're not only beautiful, but also have an extraordinary temperament, Miss Lu."

  "Mr. Han is being too polite." Lu Qing smiled brightly, "Why don't you two sit down and have a drink together?"

  "No need, Miss Lu. I just came to say hello. Mingming and I have been like brothers since we were kids." Han Gong smiled slightly, "I won't disturb your class reunion then. Next time, Mingming and I will take you out for dinner, Miss Lu."

  "Well then, Mr. Han, I'll just toast you and your brother first." Lu Qing picked up her wine glass.

  "Miss Lu offers a toast, I naturally have to drink." Han Gong didn't decline, he poured himself a cup of wine, clinked cups with Lu Qing, and then took a swig.

  Putting down his wine glass, Han Gong smiled faintly: "Sorry, I have friends on the other side, so I'll go over first and we can make another appointment next time."

  "Lu Qing, let's go first, we'll talk more tomorrow when we're at work." Chang Mingming also added a sentence.

  The two of them didn't get entangled this time and left quickly.

  "I think that kid is just trying to intimidate us by pretending to be something he's not?" Gaofeng said, unable to hold back his words after the two left.

  "Isn't it?" Lu Qing hummed softly, "He's just bringing his older cousin along to make up the numbers."

  "Lu Qing, want me to let my dad help say something?" Hu Qiang couldn't help but speak up, apparently his dad also had some influence.

  "Never mind, it's not easy to say, he didn't do anything to me anyway." Lu Qing shook her head, "For now, I'll just bear with it, and when the time comes, I'll find a boyfriend to stand in front of him and maybe things will be settled."

  "This is indeed, otherwise, you can directly pull Hu Qiang over?" Gao Feng chuckled.

  "No way." Lu Qing shook her head. "Hu Qiang town can't accommodate him, but Ning Fan is still okay, unfortunately, Ning Fan is not my boyfriend."

  "Or I'll go?" Gaofeng said with a self-recommended expression, "I think it's quite tall and powerful too."

  "You?" Lu Qing rolled her eyes, "Tall and powerful? Except for the first word which barely fits, what do the other three words have to do with you?"

  "Lu Qing, I'm doing this to help you, and you're hitting me like this, is that really okay?" Gao Feng looked distressed.

  "As a friend, I have to let you face the facts." Lu Qing was ruthless and immediately changed the subject, "Forget it, let's just leave? Being messed with by Chang Mingming has completely ruined our mood. How about we change places, anyway, we can't stay here."

  "Go back, you all have to go to work tomorrow, sleeping too late is not good." Ning Fan added, "I have more time, maybe I'll come here often in the future, anyway there are plenty of opportunities to gather again."

  "That's also okay, let's go, you don't come, we'll go to your place." Gaofeng looked at the time and found that it was indeed late. He didn't mind, but Hu Qiang and Lu Qing had regular working hours and delaying sleep wasn't good.

  "Right, Gaofeng you drove here? Don't drive later, they're cracking down on drunk driving lately. As a lawyer, if you get a record, it'll be big trouble." Lu Qing reminded him at this time.

  "It's okay, there's a designated driver service nearby." Gaofeng said with some pride, "I've been prepared for this."

  "That's it, I'll take a taxi back then." Lu Qing quickly got into the taxi, and Hu Qiang followed suit. Although neither of them was drunk, they had still had some wine, and it wasn't safe for a pretty girl like her to be alone in a car.

  Gao Feng really went to find a substitute driver, as drunk driving checks are very strict in the provincial capital, and Gao Feng was truly afraid of being caught.

  After a lot of trouble, when Gaofeng finally sent Ning Fan to the Seaside Garden Hotel, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening. Gaofeng didn't stay and went back home afterwards.

  Ning Fan walked into the seaside garden and headed straight for the elevator, but just then, a rather pleasant voice came from one side: "Ning Fan!"

  Ning Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned around. Ten or so meters away, a meticulously dressed woman stood elegantly, and in an instant, countless images flashed through his mind, countless memories surging forth like a tidal wave.

  Children.

  Once belonged to his childhood.

  Now she is a fairy tale, no longer his fairy tale.

  Ning Fan didn't expect that the fairy tale was still here waiting for him. He thought that by now, she should have already left.

  Taking a deep breath, the memories in his mind quickly dissipated, and Ning Fang calmed down surprisingly quickly. He looked at Tong Hua, standing still for about three seconds, before walking towards her.

  He had originally wanted to meet her only after he no longer cared about her, but now that they have met ahead of time, he won't avoid her either.

  He is not afraid.
