Chapter 305 - I Don’t Like Him (1/2)
Chapter 305 I Don’t Like HimSeeing Leng Shaoting being upset, Gu Ning was slightly angry and tried to defend him. “Well, I think I need different friends who work in different fields, which would be helpful to my business, right?” In other words, she needed help from different people, instead of Situ Ye alone.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was cheered up, but Situ Ye just smiled a little.
Before long, the dishes were on the table.
During the meal, Leng Shaoting still kept putting dishes into Gu Ning’s bowl as usual. Although Situ Ye hated seeing that, he stayed calm, as if he didn’t notice it at all. However, as long as Situ Ye got the chance to talk with Gu Ning, he wouldn’t allow Leng Shaoting to lead the conversation.
“I think that your jewelry business is quite profitable now. When will you open a branch?” Situ Ye asked Gu Ning.
“I plan to go to university in the capital, so my next step is to move the headquarters to the capital, and I’ll get some trustworthy managers to deal with the branches,” Gu Ning
said.
“Very well. Have you found any suitable stores available for renting yet? There are several stores in good locations under my name. If you need, I can help,” Situ Ye said. No man could resist the charms of a beautiful woman, and Situ Ye would do everything to win Gu Ning’s heart. “No, thanks,” Leng Shaoting said before Gu Ning once more. However, even if Leng Shaoting didn’t do that, Gu Ning would reject too, because she had already agreed to let Leng Shaoting help her with that. However, Situ Ye ignored Leng Shaoting, and only looked at Gu Ning. He wanted to hear the answer from Gu Ning.
“Situ, thank you so much for your kindness. I’ll deal with the store in the capital myself. If I need your help, I’ll call you.” Compared with Leng Shaoting, Gu Ning rejected Situ Ye more gently. She didn’t want to lose a friend like Situ Ye. In addition, there was no grudge between Situ Ye and her, so it wasn’t necessary for her to keep a distance from him. Although she understood that Situ Ye wanted more from her, he hadn’t done anything yet.
“Sure, if you need anything, just call me.” It wasn’t a surprising answer, so Situ Ye didn’t feel disappointed. Instead, he was confident that Gu Ning needed him.
They then ate the meal in harmony. Situ Ye would directly ignore Leng Shaoting and talk with Gu Ning only, but he wouldn’t forget his manners or intentionally argue with Leng Shaoting. Gu Ning was aware that Situ Ye was a well-educated gentleman who admired her but wouldn’t interfere in her relations.h.i.+p with Leng Shaoting.
After the meal, Leng Shaoting used an excuse and pulled Gu Ning to leave right away, and left Situ Ye alone in the room.
Situ Ye didn’t stop them. He watched them disappearing from his sight thinking deeply.
Leng Shaoting drove Gu Ning to his house, but he remained silent along the way. Gu Ning pursed her lips. “Are you mad?”
“No,” Leng Shaoting answered, but his annoyed tone betrayed him.
