199 Love Trap 7 (2/2)

”Maomao?” An Xiaoning let out a smile of surprise and joy. She then reached out to hold Maomao's paws while still dripping with sweat from the strenuous training session.

Maomao stuck its tongue out and began wagging its tail continuously in excitement.

An Xiaoning looked up at Jin Qingyan, who appeared slightly awkward, standing not too far away from her. An Xiaoning sat on the ground to play with Maomao until the intermission was over, after which Maomao had no choice but to move aside next to Jin Qingyan and watch her train.

During a sparring session with another male member, An Xiaoning could not defend herself in the nick of time and was thrown off balance by Shi Bin, who managed to flip her successfully. It was actually not too big of a deal since she did not get hurt or injured. However, Maomao seemed to have thought that its mother was getting bullied and thus broke into a sudden outburst. It zoomed towards Shi Bin and began barking at him, before pouncing on him and biting his clothes ravenously while tugging at him to pull him away.

Everyone else stared wide-eyed at the shocking scene before them.

An Xiaoning hurriedly rushed to intervene and explained the scenario to Maomao softly, who seemed to have understood what she said. Maomao then retreated abidingly and returned to a spot beside Jin Qingyan.

The sky had turned dark outside, yet training still did not end. Everyone was already exhausted and dog-tired. Jin Nana and Lin Mingxi, who were constantly complaining about being tired, finally gave up and sat at the side to take a break while others continued with the session.

Jin Qingyan made a rare appearance and watched them train.

It was obvious that the only reason he was there was to see An Xiaoning. Otherwise, he would not have bothered wasting his time there.

It was already half past nine in the evening by the time training had ended.

During dismissal, An Xiaoning and Mei Yangyang continued to lay on the ground, too exhausted to even move.

However, they forced themselves to get up in the end and returned to their room to wash up. It would have been a privilege if they managed to go to bed by half past ten.

An Xiaoning had initially planned to head back to her room straight away. However, she was stopped by Maomao, who bit onto the hem of her pants in an attempt to drag her downstairs. Thus, she had no choice but to follow.

She wanted to get Maomao to hop into the car and vice versa.

An Xiaoning was rather reluctant since all her energy had been depleted during training. ”Bring Maomao home, I'm going to head back to my room to get some rest,” she said sluggishly.

Noticing how tired she was, Jin Qingyan said, ”I have something for you.”

”What is it?”

He turned around and opened the car door before sticking his head inside the car to retrieve a paper bag. ”Aren't you all about vanity? This is a newly-launched facial serum mask. I've tried it, it's excellent,” he said, handing her the bag.

An Xiaoning did not accept it and refuted, ”I've brought some facial masks with me.”

”The ones you brought can't be compared to these,” he answered while placing the bag into her hands. Noticing that she still seemed reluctant to accept it, he straightened his back and insisted, ”It'll be yours once I've given it to you. It's up to you to keep it or throw it away.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Qingyan hopped into his car and drove off.

An Xiaoning took a look at the paper bag to find that it belonged to a prestigious brand, which meant that it must have cost at least a few tens of thousands of dollars.

It would be a waste to throw it away.

She returned to the room with the bag in her hands and was greeted with the sight of Mei Yangyang, who just came out of the shower. ”Sis,” the latter greeted.

”Yangyang, you may have half of these.”

”What's this?” Mei Yangyang peeked inside the bag and said, ”Oh, it's from a prestigious brand, must've cost a bomb.”

”There's too many, I can't finish all of them. Take half of it.”

Mei Yangyang chuckled in delight and said, ”Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then.”

As they were in the midst of a conversation, An Xiaoning felt a bowl of instant noodles being poured onto her head without warning.
