Chapter 175 - Roses from Leng Shaoting (2/2)

“Um, I want to give you something. If you don’t like it, please don’t be mad,” Leng Shaoting said with caution.

“Oh.” Gu Ning didn’t expect that Leng Shaoting hesitated just because he didn’t want to upset her. She was quiet surprised, but felt that it was interesting too. She wasn’t a child who would get mad easily just because she received a gift she didn’t like.

Gu Ning was curious what kind of gift Leng Shaoting was going to give her.

“Sure, I won’t be mad,” Gu Ning replied.

Leng Shaoting was relieved. He stood up walking to the back and brought it out. However, when Gu Ning saw Leng Shaoting stepping back to her with dozens of red roses in his hands, she had mixed emotions.

In her last incarnation, Qi Ziyue had always sent her roses with sweet nothings when he had chased her. It was all fake and she only felt that it disgusting and sarcastic.

Gu Ning had hidden her hatred towards Qi Ziyue well nowadays, so she remained calm. And it would be unfair to Leng Shaoting, if she thought of Qi Ziyue now. Thus she forgot it right away.

Leng Shaoting walked to Gu Ning. He flushed a little, and was very nervous, but said to Gu Ning with sincerity, “I heard that girls like roses, but I suppose not every girl like roses. Do you like it?”

“Of course!” Gu Ning answered. She grabbed the roses away from Leng Shaoting. Actually, most girls liked roses, especially when they were from a man that she liked.

Leng Shaoting was cheered up to see Gu Ning being delighted. However, the next second, Leng Shaoting was anxious again. “Um, I bought two movie tickets. Can you go to watch the movie with me?”

Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second. Movie tickets? She was more than surprised now. It seemed that Leng Shaoting had indeed done his homework!

“Sure,” Gu Ning agreed.

Now, Leng Shaoting was finally relaxed. His face was alight with excitement. It wasn’t a common thing to see pleasure on Leng Shaoting’s face, but now he was like a boy before the girl that he liked.

The fruit salad, steak and pizza were soon on the table. Leng Shaoting opened the bottle pouring a gla.s.s of wine for Gu Ning and himself.

Although they didn’t talk much, they dined together in harmony. After the meal, the two went to a movie theater.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting attracted a lot of attention, but people had different opinions towards them.

As for Leng Shaoting, everyone was stunned and almost screamed as if they had met a super star, but most of them were jealous of Gu Ning. Although she was pretty, she was too young and seemed like a student. She didn’t match Leng Shaoting at all.

Some only thought so to themselves, but some said it aloud. Some were even gossiping about whether Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning were brother and sister. Gu Ning was upset to hear that.

Am I that terrible? Leng Shaoting liked Gu Ning very much and he wouldn’t allow others to judge her. He also felt that Gu Ning was unhappy, so he glanced at the people around them with a cold look. No one dared to say another word again.

The man was handsome, but wasn’t easy-going.

Leng Shaoting’s behavior touched Gu Ning. She stopped feeling sad then.
