“Miss Gu, we were just joking. Don’t take it seriously. It’s just a misunderstanding.” Feng Zi explained at once, in case Gu Anna was mad at him. Even if he couldn’t get Gu Anna, he didn’t want to lose her either. Gu Anna was a very kind helpful friend after all.
“Joking? Your relationship is really a joke,” said Gu Ning. She knew that it couldn’t be a joke and they could take action to hurt Gu Anna sooner or later.
“Alright, it’s enough. Anna, we can go now.” Gu Ning returned to her seat without delay.
“Sure.” Gu Anna stood up at once; she knew that Gu Ning would explain it to her later.
“Anna, wait!” Feng Zi immediately stopped Gu Anna.
Gu Ning stood aside and watched them in silence.
“What?” Gu Anna asked Feng Zi with a cold expression.
“Well, I…” Feng Zi wanted to defend himself, but didn’t know what to say.
“We’re going to watch a film now, and it’s about to begin. If you have nothing serious to talk about, please let us leave,” said Gu Anna.
“I-I was just joking with them, and Miss Gu overheard it. I’m afraid that you’ll misunderstand me, so…” said Feng Zi. He had to deny it.
“Since it’s a joke, I won’t misunderstand you,” said Gu Anna. She trusted Gu Ning and believed that Gu Ning wouldn’t hurt her.
“I…” Feng Zi panicked.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me,” said Gu Anna and walked away with Gu Ning. Feng Zi didn’t stop them this time, because he didn’t know what to say.
“How did she hear our conversation?” When Gu Anna and Gu Ning were gone, someone wondered that.
The private room had good insulation, so they couldn’t figure out how Gu Ning was able to hear their conversation. In addition, Gu Anna was with Gu Ning, but she didn’t hear their conversation.
“Probably because she has good hearing.”
“Will Gu Anna trust her?”
“Her attitude changed in a second. I think she will trust Gu Ning,” said Feng Zi with hatred towards Gu Ning. He was really selfish and blamed other people for his own mistakes!
…
Gu Ning didn’t rush to tell Gu Anna the reason on their way outside, because she was afraid that other people might overhear their conversation.
When they walked out of the hotel, Gu Ning walked straight to her car.
“Ningning, are you going to drive?” Gu Anna was surprised.
“Yes,” Gu Ning answered.
“You drank a lot!” said Gu Anna. She was afraid that Gu Ning might be caught driving under the influence. Although she could handle it even if Gu Ning was caught, it might affect Gu Ning’s businesses. Gu Ning was a celebrity after all.
“Let me drive the car,” said Gu Anna.
Gu Ning understood Gu Anna’s worries.
“It’s fine. Can you smell alcohol from my body?” Gu Ning smiled. She had already gotten rid of the smell of alcohol with her magical power.
“No way!” Gu Anna rounded her eyes in shock, then ran to smell around Gu Ning. She indeed failed to smell any alcohol. “Wow, how is it possible? You drank a lot!”
“I have my way to secretly pour out the alcohol. I actually didn’t drink a lot,” said Gu Ning.
“Oh, I understand.” Gu Anna laughed. She didn’t ask how Gu Ning managed to pour out the alcohol without them noticing it.
After that, Gu Anna got in Gu Ning’s car.
Once they were in the car, Gu Ning told Gu Anna everything she just heard.
“They indeed sounded to be joking, but I’m not sure whether they were really joking or not. They’re your friends, so I think you know them better than me. You can make the judgment yourself,” said Gu Ning.
Gu Anna was furious after knowing what her friends had said about her behind her back. She didn’t believe it was just a joke.
“It couldn’t be a joke, and even if it was it’s gross!”
