With that, An Xingchen stood up and went to the kitchen to retrieve a new set of tableware.
This time, An Xingchen did not dare sit beside Gong Lingqian, and calmly picked a seat furthest away from Gong Lingqian. Just as he was about to sit down, Gong Lingqian's voice rang out: ”Come sit.”
An Xingchen was startled, and subconsciously looked towards Gong Lingqian.
Then, he heard Gong Lingqian say with a slightly unhappy voice: ”You're sitting so far away because you're afraid that I'll eat you?”
This was the first time Gong Lingqian saw someone avoiding him like this.
”No...” An Xingchen awkwardly bit her lips, and could only quietly move to the seat beside Gong Lingqian and sit down.
An Xingchen had just said that she was not hungry, she had been busy with work at noon, and had only eaten two bites of lunch. By now, her stomach was completely empty.
She was already sitting down, but An Xingchen did not act pretentiously in front of the delicious food, picking up the chopsticks and beginning to eat.
It was worthy of being a top quality food that was shockingly expensive. Although the method was the same, it was much more delicious than what An Xingchen had cooked in the past.
An Xingchen was eating so much that she couldn't stop.
The atmosphere of this meal was pretty harmonious, it was unknown if it was because he was looking at the An Xingchen who was seated beside him and eating too well, but even Gong Lingqian's appetite had improved by quite a bit.
After dinner, An Xingchen cleaned up the kitchen and took her things, then said to Gong Lingqian: ”Young Master Gong, it's getting late, I'll be going back now.”
The moment he finished speaking, Gong Lingqian's low voice immediately sounded: ”Wait!”
With that, Gong Lingqian frowned, he looked at the time on his watch and spoke to An Xingchen: ”It's almost 8, a girl like you isn't safe to go back to, just live here.”
In the dead of night, a man and woman alone in a room, with such close relationships between them. Just thinking about An Xingchen made her shake her head, ”There's no need …. It's safe for me to take a cab back. ”
”It's already this late, do you think you can get a taxi here?”
An Xingchen just remembered that this was the Yao City's high-end villa.
There wouldn't be a taxi here at all. There would be no such thing as a bus …
Just as he was thinking about it, Gong Lingqian's low voice sounded beside his ears again, ”Furthermore, the weather forecast said that it will rain tonight.”
Just as Gong Lingqian finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky outside, followed by the rumbling of thunder.
An Xingchen suddenly thought of something and her face turned pale. She subconsciously retreated a few steps and looked out the window to see the rain pouring down.
It was not easy to get a taxi in this area, not to mention the fact that it was raining and thunder …
There was no better option now than to stay here for the night.
Thinking about it, An Xingchen bit her lips. With a pale face, she looked at Gong Lingqian and said, ”Young Master Gong … ”Then I'll have to trouble you tonight …”
Gong Lingqian suddenly looked at An Xingchen who had turned pale and frowned: ”What's wrong? Your face is so ugly? ”
”I'm fine...” An Xingchen forced a smile and smiled at Gong Lingqian: ”I'm just a bit tired, I want to rest now.”
”I'll take you back to your room.” Gong Lingqian said as he brought An Xingchen to the guest room beside master bedroom's on the second floor.
”You can stay here tonight, I'll stay nearby. If you need anything, you can come find me.”
”Thank you, Young Master Gong.” An Xingchen said her thanks and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Gong Lingqian's figure leaving. Soon after, another loud explosion of thunder sounded out from outside the window.
An Xingchen's body uncontrollably trembled, her complexion turning even paler than before.
