Leng Shaoting gave Xu Jinchen a cold look. Xu Jinchen shut his mouth at once, but he stared at Leng Shaoting back. He wasn’t wrong after all.

Actually, Leng Shaoting was asking himself the same question too. Since when had he become so friendly to others?

However, hadn’t he always been kind?

His job, and the tasks he had fulfilled were all aimed at punis.h.i.+ng evil people as well as bringing peace to this country.

“Is he always cold?” Gu Ning asked Xu Jinchen, but looked to Leng Shaoting.

“Not really. He is active in work, but I’ve never seen him being proactive to help others with personal affairs.” Xu Jinchen was telling the truth. Leng Shaoting was indeed active in fulfilling his tasks, or dealing with crime, but if someone turned to him for help concerning personal affairs, he would give them the cold shoulder.

“Oh, in that case, it seems I’m different.” Gu Ning beamed. She gave Leng Shaoting a meaningful look. He felt nervous, but he had to admit that Gu Ning was different to him.

Meanwhile, Gu Ning couldn’t help feeling happy in her heart. She wasn’t clear why she was so happy to hear that, but she just enjoyed it.

“Exactly! Otherwise I wouldn’t think that you two are…” Xu Jinchen said.

“Enough! If you keep talking without an end, I’ll let you be busier as of this year,” Leng Shaoting interrupted Xu Jinchen before he could finish. It was an obvious threat.

Hearing that, Xu Jinchen shut his mouth again. He wanted to complain, but didn’t dare to say a word. Leng Shaoting was the boss. It was totally up to him whether Xu Jinchen would be busy.

From Xu Jinchen’s experience, he knew the harder he resisted, the worse the situation would be.

Xu Jinchen couldn’t argue with Leng Shaoting. He could only approach Gu Ning, complaining in a low voice, “Be careful. He’s so easily annoyed, and is used to exploiting us.”

Although Xu Jinchen kept his voice low, Leng Shaoting still heard him clearly.

He was displeased that Xu Jinchen complained about him to Gu Ning. And the two stood so close now. Leng Shaoting was dissatisfied. He threatened, “If you want to, I can make your allegation the truth.”

It was a threat from Xu Jinchen’s perspective, but Gu Ning thought it was an explanation.

Xu Jinchen now completely shut his mouth in fear. His boss was a doer, not a talker. He didn’t want to challenge Leng Shaoting at all.

Xu Jinchen worked for Leng Shaoting. Gu Ning was slightly surprised. In that case, Xu Jinchen was a military officer too.

Seeing as Leng Shaoting denied Xu Jinchen’s complaint then who was telling the truth?

Gu Ning thought that Xu Jinchen was probably right, because Leng Shaoting did force him to close his mouth by threatening him, but Gu Ning stayed quiet.

Before long, they arrived at the restaurant, walking into a private room.

“Here, help yourself please.” Xu Jinchen gave the menu to Gu Ning.

Gu Ning took it without hesitation. She ordered two dishes that she liked then gave the menu back to Xu Jinchen and Leng Shaoting.

Gu Ning and Xu Jinchen exchanged their numbers too.
