After learning that Xiao Nuo would be on night duty tonight, Ding Ning looked lost but was quite happy.
He would not be so stupid to ask Xiao Nuo to take the jade carving he had made for Xiaoyao to Xiaoyao. Women are creatures who speak one thing and do another. She said that she would not be jealous, but who knew what she really thought.
Ding Ning talked about the functions of the charm on the jade carving again and then said goodbye to Xiao Nuo.
Xiao Nuo seemed to feel guilty for not being able to spend more time with him because of working overtime, so she walked with him to the gate, but was still unwilling to leave as if she had numerous words to speak to him.
Looking around and finding no souls, Ding Ning took her to the car and had very close contact with her. If Xiao Nuo’s mobile phone had not rung in time and interrupted the erotic atmosphere, she, who had been as soft as a pile of mud, would probably have been bedded in the car.
Xiao Nuo blushed and having no courage to look at Ding Ning, said hurriedly, “Our team asks for me, I’m leaving, and you… take care.”
Seeing her running away in a panic, Ding Ning, who was not fully satisfied, fiddled with the unknown liquid on his fingers and gave an extremely wicked smile.
Two hours later in the apartment Xiao Nuo rented, Xiaoyao, who was only dressed in a pair of translucent sexy pajamas, stood at the window seeing her lover’s car off.
Xiaoyao touched the jade carving on her neck; her eyes became misty, her face turned as pink as peach blossom, and her eyes and eyebrows had the tinge of sex. She gave a satisfied and happy smile and felt so sweet as if she had eaten honey.
In the No. 1 living room of Shengshi Huating Complex, Ding Ning placed his honorary professor’s certificate and the letter of appointment as the executive of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia in front of her elder sister full of anticipation.
Seeming afraid of breaking them, Ding Qianlie opened them gingerly, with an undisguised delighted smile. “Brother, you are so brilliant!”
“No doubt, my elder brother is the most brilliant.”
Luoxue clearly showed her admiration for Ding Ning.
“Yep, my dad is the most brilliant! My dad is the most brilliant!”
Yagyuu Asamayu nodded her little head repetitively and cheered as she waved her tender small fists.
Everyone smiled because of her, and Ding Ning quickly said that he was going to Yan Jing.
Hearing his words, Ding Qianlie shivered and her smile gradually disappeared. “You have to go to Yan Jing, don’t you?”
“I don’t want to go there, but I have no other choices. Mayor Du says that this is his superiors’ idea.”
Ding Ning thought that it was painful for her sister to allow him to leave home and explained hurriedly.
“Oh, then you must take care of yourself. If you alone are not enough, ask Xiahou to go with you.”
Ding Qianlie spoke these words, which seemed to hint something.
Ding Ning did not find her elder sister’s concern from her words and taking them not seriously, said, “Don’t bother. It is only a matter of signing a letter of authorization, and it won’t take many days.”
Ding Ning’s eyes glinted, and she did not persuade him anymore. “Then, have you packed? It is colder there than in Ninghai, and the temperature difference between morning and night is large. Take more clothes in case you may feel cold.”
“Sister, you have forgotten that I am a Warrior, haven’t you? Such a small temperature difference is nothing to me.”
Ding Ning felt the warmth and said with a smile.
“Oh, I have forgotten it. Then, sleep early and don’t miss the flight tomorrow.”
Ding Qianlie said coolly, stood up, and walked upstairs without caring about anything. Obviously, she was not in a good mood.
Ding Ning and Luoxue gazed at each other and did not know what was wrong with their sister. It was only a business trip, wasn’t it? Did she need to behave like this?
In her bedroom, Ding Qianlie closed the window gingerly, took out a mobile phone card, put it into a rarely used mobile phone, and dialed a number. “Mother, my brother is going to Yan Jing tomorrow…”
That night, while Ding Ning was sleeping with Yagyuu Asamayu, a follower at his heels, in his arms, Ding Qianlie walked in silently and lay on his side, but did not say anything.
Ding Ning was upset and did not know what was wrong with his sister. He asked her, but she only asked him to sleep early. How could he fall asleep, then? Thus, he simply closed his eyes and began his cultivation.
In a blurring state, he seemed to feel that his sister was in his arms, and her fingers interlaced with his and held his hands very tightly, as if she was afraid of losing something…
At 10:37 on the morning of November 4, Ding Ning carrying a simple sports backpack on his back walked out of the Yan Jing International Airport.
Others did not see anything, but he knew that Yagyuu Asamayu, who had become invisible and held the corner of his clothes, was looking around. Finally, he could not refuse the little follower at his heels who threw her tantrums like wailing, swearing to hang herself, being unreasonable, and rolling on the ground.
“Look! Jiang Yimeng has come out.”
“Yimeng, Yimeng, I love you!”
“Yimeng, we love you!”
“Yimeng, I love you!”
…
As soon as Ding Ning walked out of the airport hall and was shocked to see so many people at the exit, huge waves of sounds broke out in the crowd. Waving the posters and banners of Jiang Yimeng, numerous people screamed, cheered, and rushed forward.
The security guards of the airport quickly came and prevented the avid fans from coming near to maintain the order of the airport.
Wearing sunglasses, Jiang Yimeng took graceful steps. Surrounded by more than ten security guards and working personnel, she walked over with a smile and waved her hand to greet her fans, so that another wave of screams sounded at the scene.
“Also having privileges at the airport, this star is really powerful!”
Ding Ning was pushed to the side of the exit by the security guards of the airport, waiting for Jiang Yimeng to leave because only when she left could he and others leave, but he was a little unhappy with it and muttered.
“Boy, you know nothing! Jiang Yimeng is a superstar and public figure. It’s normal for her to have privileges.”
A man, who was dressed in a fine suit and looked like a successful man in his 30s, glanced at him dismissively from the side. “Her payment for shooting a movie can be as much as the amount for a person like you to work arduously for a lifetime to get, and it’s useless for you to admire, envy, and hate her.”
Ding Ning smiled indifferently and did not feel like caring about such a snob. If this guy had learned that Jiang Yimeng used all kinds of ways to curry favor with him but only received perfunctory replies on the plane just now, who knew how he would have talked.
The avid fans were still reasonable when facing their idol. Although they were very excited, kept taking photos of their idol from different angles, and also shouted the worlds “Jiang Yimeng, I love you” to express their admiration for her, they would not bring real trouble to her.
Being a pristine lady without any scandals in their eyes, Jiang Yimeng was in full compliance with the beautiful image in the hearts of the fans, who knew that they could watch her from afar but should not hurt her.
Ding Ning pursed his lips. He was afraid that only he and Jiang Yimeng’s retinue knew that she was raised by Bai Qing like a canary in the cage.
“Boy, why did you purse your lips? Am I not right? Such a poor loser like you won’t make the amount of money Jiang Yimeng makes only by shooting a movie.”
It was hard to tell if the man in the suit had been stimulated by the display of splendor of Jiang Yimeng, but he wanted to show his superiority very much. Seeming to expose the Rolex on his wrist unintentionally, he sneered with pride, saying, “Just forget to be like Jiang Yimeng. If you can become a man like me with an annual salary being a million, it should mean that you haven’t lived your whole life in vain.”
Ding Ning was stunned. “Fuck, pursing my lips is none of your business. Is it so great to have a million annual salary?”
He really wanted to show him the ten-million limited edition Vacheron Constantin her elder sister had put on his wrist herself in the morning. “Damn you, snob! A watch of mine is enough for you to work hard for ten years to get.”
But he also thought that it was unnecessary to compete with such a man without quality, for it would lower his taste and grade, so he simply shut his mouth and did not look at him at all.
He did not expect that the man in the suit, who thought that Ding Ning felt so guilty that he was speechless, worked harder to show off. “Young people should not hate society only because they think the world is unfair. What’s the use of envying others? They need to learn to treat it in awe. Don’t you know that? You came to Yan Jing to work, right? I can tell you that Yan Jing is not an easy place to make a living, but there are a few exceptions. Take me for example. Although I was not born in a rich family, I still persisted in working hard and got great achievements in the world of work. I can wear famous brand clothes and watches, drive luxury cars, and live in villas. Since you are still young, if you want to change…”
Ding Ning got so fed up with the constant flaunting and self-righteous guide. More terribly, this guy had a garlic smell as he spoke, which almost drove him insane. “Fuck, a man of about 40 or 50 is still a nameless white collar, but you try to pretend to be a successful man in front of me!”
He wished to stay a little far away from this guy, but unfortunately, the exit was blocked by the fans, and he should not think about leaving until Jiang Yimeng went through it and her fans left, so he felt quite depressed.
“Boy, let me tell you… Ah, Jiang Yimeng even smiled at me and is also coming for me. My God, I, I…”
The man in the suit suddenly stopped showing off. Seeing Jiang Yimeng walking over with a smile, he became so excited that he even did not know how to move his limbs. Red-faced, he rearranged his shirt and tie and also combed his slicked-back hairstyle with his hands, though it seemed to have been licked by a cow.
Ding Ning pursed his lips helplessly. “Jiang Yimeng, you are annoying by keeping doing this! You did not take good care of my sister last time, but that is a small matter, isn’t it? I have said that I won’t care about it, but you keep thinking about it. You apologized on the plane, and you also want to do it under the watchful eye of the crowd now.”
“Jiang Yimeng, I, I, I…”
The self-righteous man in the suit did not know how to speak properly. Just now, he was eloquent, but now he jabbered and did not say anything after repeating “I” for a long time.
Thinking that he was her fan, Jiang Yimeng only nodded at him politely and then turned to Ding Ning with a slightly humble smile. “Mr. Ding, may I have the luck to go with you?”
The fans who were far away from her could not hear what she said, but those who were near heard her words clearly. Hearing these words, they instantly turned to Ding Ning in unison. “What status does this young man in ordinary clothes have so that the superstar Jiang Yimeng invites him in such a courteous manner?”
The man in the suit gasped with difficulty and looked at Ding Ning’s brand-less clothes in disbelief, but a terrifying idea flashed across his mind. “Is this guy seemingly in vendors’ clothes a bigshot, in fact?”
“No, impossible. When I ridiculed him just now, he did not even utter a single word. How could he be a bigshot? If he were some bigshot, he would have humiliated me a long time ago. Jiang Yimeng must mistake him for someone else. Right, she must mistake him for someone else.” So terrified, the man in the suit kept consoling himself.
Ding Ning knew that Jiang Yimeng kindly wanted to take him away with her and help him leave the airport earlier, but he did not want to keep such a high profile, nor did he want to make any scandals with her, so he said indifferently, “Miss Jiang, you might have mistaken me for someone else.”
Jiang Yimeng was slightly stunned. What a smart woman she was! Immediately, she learned Ding Ning’s idea and could not help giving a smile. “Sorry, I did mistake you for someone else. Gentleman, I thought you are a friend of mine. Sorry to bother you.”
“I was wondering about that. It turns out that she mistook him for someone else. How could my dear Yimeng know a man like him?”
“Right, you don’t know that I was so afraid that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. If Yimeng had a boyfriend, how could I live?”
“Right, Yimeng is ours, and we should never allow her to date someone.”
“I think you guys are too selfish. Sister Yimeng is a superstar, but she is also a human and has her own life. Dating, getting married, and giving birth to children are normal, right?”
“I don’t care about that. No matter what, I can’t accept that. When I think that Yimeng will date a man, take his hand, kiss him, and other things, I want to go crazy.”
“So do I. It is best for her to remain single forever. She is the eternal Snow White in my heart.”
