After that, they hugged each other and had a long loving kiss, surrounded by their friends’ loud applause.
At this moment, Cao Wenxin was filled with love. There was nothing more touching than a proposal and wedding in a woman’s life!
When the proposal was over, they were ready to have a meal.
Dishes were ready, so once they sat around the table, the dishes were served.
Before Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin came, no one talked about Cao Wenxin’s pregnancy, so Gao Chengyun and the others had no idea about that. They didn’t know until they began to chat after the dishes were placed on the table.
As soon as they heard that Cao Wenxin was pregnant, they were astonished.
“No way! It was just a joke I made yesterday. It’s true?” An Ran was struck dumb.
“Joke? What joke?” Cao Wenxin asked curiously.
“Didn’t you vomit yesterday? I joked that you might be carrying, but I didn’t expect it to be true. You said you were better, so we just thought your stomach was acting up,” said An Ran.
Cao Wenxin was a little embarrassed. It turned out that they had already talked about her pregnancy when she vomited in the washroom. They didn’t take it seriously, but Gu Ning did.
“Does your family know yet?” Zhu Yuanzhen asked.
“Not really,” said Cao Wenxin and became anxious.
Xin Bei noticed her emotions, so he held her hand tightly and comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’ll visit your family with you tomorrow and we can talk about it then.”
In fact, Xin Bei was also worried. Although he didn’t think Cao Wenxin’s family would stop them from getting married, premarital pregnancy wasn’t an honorable thing after all. Her family could still be mad at him.
If they were really mad, Xin Bei hoped that they would vent their anger on him, instead of Cao Wenxin.
Cao Wenxin felt better after Xin Bei comforted her.
Everyone could see her anxiety, so they changed the topic at once. Even if they agreed that premarital pregnancy wasn’t a good thing, they didn’t think it was shameful. Cao Wenxin was already pregnant, so Xin Bei had to take responsibility. Luckily, he was a responsible man.
Xin Bei proposed to Cao Wenxin once he learned that she was pregnant, which proved that he truly loved her and their baby.
“Xin Bei, I’ll give you the bill for the proposal setup later. Don’t forget to settle it,” Gu Ning said, half jokingly, but Xin Bei indeed needed to pay the bill.
It didn’t cost much, but was very meaningful, so Xin Bei had to settle the bill by himself.
Gu Ning brought it up in front of them not because she was afraid that Xin Bei would deny it. Xin Bei had over a hundred million yuan after all, so a few thousand yuan was nothing in his eyes. Most importantly, it was his proposal to Cao Wenxin, and he even bought a ring which cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for her.
Gu Ning mentioned it simply because they were very familiar. She knew that they wouldn’t mind and she wanted to make them laugh.
“No problem.” Xin Bei laughed. He didn’t feel embarrassed or annoyed when Gu Ning said that. He wasn’t mean and he accepted the joke.
After the meal, Xin Bei invited them to have fun together in a club. It was a special day today, so there was no reason for them to be a wet blanket.
And after they separated for the night, Ai Weishun and his bros went to stay in Shengshi Hotel, while Xin Bei went to Huafu Hills with Cao Wenxin.
It was late, so Gu Ning went back to her house at Huafu Hills as well.
Although her house at Huafu Hills was always empty, it was cleaned regularly, so it was spotless all the time. She could sleep there anytime. She simply needed to get a quilt cover.
Back in Huafu Hills, Gu Ning talked with Leng Shaoting on the phone for a while before she went to bed. However, at 2 am, Gu Ning’s phone suddenly rang and the caller was Leng Shaoting.
Seeing his call, Gu Ning squinted and abruptly sat up. Without delay, she picked it up.
It must be something serious so Leng Shaoting called her in late night.
“Shaoting, what’s wrong?” Gu Ning asked seriously.
“Ningning, I need your help. We’ve been chasing a criminal who just arrived in City B. I can’t go to City B now. So tell Ai Weishun and the others to handle it. The criminal is a professional killer, so he’s very strong. Most importantly, there is a mysterious person with him. I think the person isn’t normal. I’m afraid they might be injured, so I need you to help them,” said Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting was unwilling to drag Gu Ning into the trouble. Even though she was skilled and strong, it was a very dangerous task. He didn’t want Gu Ning to be hurt. However, if Gu Ning didn’t help, he was worried that Ai Weishun and his other teammates might not be able to handle the situation.
If they were ordinary men, even if there were five professional killers, they wouldn’t be afraid. Ai Weishun and the other men were well-trained special forces and weren’t worse than those professional killers. They were even stronger than those professional killers.
Unfortunately, the criminal might be with a person with super powers, so Ai Weishun and the others might not be able to defeat them.
Leng Shaoting didn’t want Gu Ning to be hurt, but the criminal held one of his bros hostage. His teammate was injured and was in a very dangerous situation, so he had to do something.
Anyway, he believed that Gu Ning could handle it. He was worried simply because he cared about her.
“Sure, but I need to take action alone,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t disdain Ai Weishun and the other men, but her action might be limited if they went with her.
“No, it’s too dangerous if you’re alone,” said Leng Shaoting and disagreed at once.
“I’ll be fine. I have a monster fox and the tree vine with me. If your teammates go with me, I can’t let them out and my actions will be limited, so will my abilities. I could be in greater danger.” Gu Ning explained.
“Well…”
Leng Shaoting had to agree with Gu Ning. In addition, if there was really danger, Gu Ning alone could quickly run away.
If Ai Weishun and other men went with her, she would have to protect them and even spare effort to save them.. She might put herself in danger because of that!
