Chapter 216 - Ning Zhi felt that her heart was beating out of control. (2)

Ning Xiaomeng had been wanting to find out what kind of man was good enough for Ning Zhi. Now she did.

His look was equally outstanding as Ning Zhi’s and equally eye-catching. The two sitting together would make others feel inferior.

Ning Xiaomeng, however, quickly noticed that something was off.

The man in front of them was very quiet. He didn’t look at others much and it was not because he was high and mighty, more that he was avoiding it. Besides, the speed of his speech and his sentence structure were also a little bit off.

Ning Xiaomeng did not like to point out others’ weaknesses so she asked Ning Zhi, “Big Sister Zhizhi, are you leaving in a few days?”

“Yes. I’ll try to find time to visit Grandpa often in the future.”

It was too lonely for Old Mr. Ning to stay in the old residence by himself. And he was not of the best of health. Now that he had found his loved ones, Ning Zhi would try to spend more time with him.

“You can always hit me up in the future when you have time.” Whatever little bit of hostility that Ning Xiaomeng had against Ning Zhi had been long gone. In fact, she now had a lot of respect for her.

“Okay,” said Ning Zhi.

After that, Ning Xiaomeng said to Ning Zhi in a lowered voice, “Big Sister Zhizhi, the second branch was most likely the one that spread the rumors about you.”

Ning Zhi didn’t care much about the rumors. After all, all she needed to do was to show her face and the rumors would be debunked. That being said, if the rumors had to do with a side branch of the Ning family, that was a completely different story.

“How did you find out about that?” asked Ning Zhi.

“I heard it when Ning Lianlian slipped and said that it started from her family. They were the ones who created the rumors.”

Ning Xiaomeng reminded Ning Zhi, “Big Sister Zhizhi, Granduncle had arranged for Ning Lianlian’s Big Brother to work at the company. It had been rumored for a long time that he is going to be Granduncle’s heir and they had been bragging about that for a while now. They are not happy with your return.”

“Thank you for the reminder. I will keep that in mind.”

Having said what she intended to say, Ning Xiaomeng knew better than to stay and be the third wheel. She stood up and made herself scarce.

Ning Zhi turned and looked at Lu Jue who was eating quietly next to her. He ate slowly and, perhaps because he was very attractive, he even looked good when he ate.

Watching him eating made Ning Zhi wanted to eat as well. He picked up the snacks next to him and started eating.

She had only had a few bites when Lu Jue stopped and looked at her quietly.

Ning Zhi smiled at him. “What’s the matter?”

Lu Jue put down the cupcake in his hand and suddenly leaned into Ning Zhi. Under Ning Zhi’s surprised look, he suddenly cupped her cheeks with his hands.

“Hmm?” Ning Zhi looked at him dubiously.

Lowering his head and with a serious look, Lu Jue blinked and started licking away the cream that was on Ning Zhi’s lips.

FOOM. Ning Zhi felt her face turned beet red and started to burn instantly.

“It’s sweet.” There was a light smile in Lu Jue’s pitch-black eyes as though he was very content. “Zhizhi sweet.”

Lu Jue said the most shameless words with the most serious look.

Ning Zhi’s face was burning and she felt that her heart was pawed at by a small meaty little paw. It felt somewhat tingly and a little itchy.

The banquet was close to its tail end and Old Mr. Ning, given this age, tired easy and had already retreated to rest.

Ning Zhi stayed behind and also planned to take off after most of the guests were gone.

“Uncle Li, I will be taking Lu Jue with me back to the Ning’s and he won’t need his hotel room anymore. He will be staying with me at the Ning’s for the next few days.”

“Sure. I will have someone send over Young Master’s luggage from the hotel in a little bit.”

Ning Zhi nodded and was about to take off with Lu Jue when a middle-aged walked passed her and bumped into her.
