Ready

I can stay with you all night!

When the development of events far exceeds a person's understanding, it is no longer something he can control.

Just like now, things have completely spiraled out of Dong Lulu's control.

Bribe Xu Ning?

Don't be ridiculous!

Although she didn't know why Xu Ning, with some kind of twisted sense of humor, went out to deliver food, her twenty thousand yuan probably wouldn't even warrant a second glance from him.

She had truly hit a brick wall this time!

What should she do now?

Dong Lulu's mind raced, thinking of possible solutions to the problem.

Pressing her lips together and gritting her teeth, she leaned closer to Xu Ning and lowered her voice.

"I can spend a night with you!"

"As long as you don't tell him, I'll do anything you want for that one night!"

"How about it?"

Dong Lulu was going all out; to not let go of Ding Zehui, that diamond bachelor, she wouldn't care about her pride!

In fact, in her opinion, if sleeping with Xu Ning could make him keep quiet, it would be an absolute bargain.

Of course, she believed Xu Ning would agree.

After all, what man doesn't stray?

And Ding Zehui was his second brother from the dorm, so she could even be considered his second sister-in-law.

The word 'sister-in-law' probably holds a special allure for most men, right?

She simply didn't believe Xu Ning would be indifferent.

Hearing Dong Lulu's blatant offer, Xu Ning's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Good heavens!

What kind of person did she take him for?

You might not have any shame, but I certainly do!

It was a good thing his second brother asked him to help keep an eye out; otherwise, if they had truly reached the point of discussing marriage, it would have been much harder to deal with.

"Sorry, not interested!"

"Put away your little schemes!"

Xu Ning said unhappily, with a look of disgust, as if there was something incredibly filthy in front of him.

Dong Lulu's face couldn't help but darken, then turned ashen.

She never expected that Xu Ning would refuse a beauty offered to him on a silver platter.

He was completely unyielding, and she didn't know what to do.

"If you want to leave with dignity, then you'd best go by yourself, and don't pester Ding Zehui anymore in the future."

"Although this kind of thing should be handled by him, who told him he's my son!"

Xu Ning snorted, nodding towards the restaurant's main entrance.

The meaning was clear: just get lost!

Dong Lulu glared at Xu Ning, somewhat exasperated, her eyes filled with hatred.

She wanted to say some harsh words but realized she had no way to threaten Xu Ning, so she gritted her teeth, turned, and left.

Given her furious back, it was hard to say whether she would kick a tree to vent her anger after leaving.

He couldn't help but let out a soft snort, a slow smile forming on his lips.

Just then, Ding Zehui walked over and slung his arm around Xu Ning's shoulder.

"You took care of it for me?"

His tone was light, as if it were a trivial matter.

Xu Ning nodded, his voice also light, "It's handled!"

"She... never mind, I don't want to know!" Ding Zehui paused, then put his arm around Xu Ning and walked back, "Let's go back and have a drink!"

In fact, when Dong Lulu chased Xu Ning out, Ding Zehui had already guessed that Dong Lulu must have gone to Xu Ning to ask him to keep quiet.

And he also believed that Xu Ning would definitely stand by him.

Now that Dong Lulu was gone, it must have been his third brother who exposed her true colors hidden beneath her disguise; there was no other possibility.

This was good too; he wouldn't have to waste his breath.

Very appropriate!

He didn't want to hear it, but Xu Ning was interested in telling him.

"Do you know?"

"To make me keep quiet, she first offered me money, and then even said she would spend a night with me!"

"Your blind date is truly something else!"

"I think when you go back to your Hometown again, you definitely need to have a good talk with your aunt."

"Girls like her, it's better to leave them for someone else!"

Xu Ning's words made Ding Zehui visiblystunned.

Offering hush money was one thing.

Dong Lulu even said she would sleep with him?

Good heavens, what kind of person did his mother set him up with?

This was truly outrageous!

"Then why didn't you agree?"

"I don't believe you didn't see that I couldn't possibly be with her!"

"A free night, how great!"

Ding Zehui looked at Xu Ning and joked teasingly.

Xu Ning couldn't help but give Ding Zehui the middle finger.

"Stop, it's too disgusting!"

Ding Zehui laughed heartily, punching Xu Ning twice.

When the two returned to the private room, arms around each other's shoulders, Xu Jiafei and Qin Xiaohan, seeing that Dong Lulu hadn't returned, already realized what had happened.

Only the clueless Deng Zihao wondered, "Where is she? Did you guys lose her?"

Qin Xiaohan couldn't help but pinch his arm hard, a look of exasperation on her face.

"Xiaohan, I'm entrusting our fourth brother to you!"

"You absolutely must take good care of this silly boy!"

"Without you, he'd probably be sold and still help the sellers count their money!"

Xu Ning said, laughing heartily.

Deng Zihao, hazy with drink, scratched his head, "Is he talking about me, the silly boy?"

The meal ended very late, and Xu Ning simply left his electric bike to charge at Lis Private Kitchen before taking a taxi back to Binjiang Centennial.

Because he had been busy all night with Ning Bing the previous night, hadn't rested much during the day, and had drunk a lot of alcohol in the evening, Xu Ning fell onto his bed and immediately went to sleep when he got home.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already past nine in the morning.

After getting ready, Xu Ning planned to first visit the property management office, and then go deliver food.

However, as he walked by the Residential Complex's artificial lake, he saw an old man and a Middle-aged Man arguing.

"I'm not so old that I can't move anymore!"

"Making me idle every day, I'm going to get sick from boredom!"

"From now on, mind your own business; I'll do whatever I want!"

The old man angrily shouted at the Middle-aged Man in front of him.

The Middle-aged Man's expression was quite rich, with a mix of frustration and helplessness, and of course, worry.

"I say, Dad, you're almost eighty, isn't it better to just retire peacefully?"

"What if something really happens to you?"

"I'm not telling you to just sit at home all day; when you have nothing to do, go for a walk, and if you feel like moving, dance square dances with the Old ladies, how good is that?"

The Old man's beard seemed to stand on end when he heard that.

"Dance what square dance? That's just a joke!"

"If I want to exercise, isn't it better to practice some Five-Animal Frolics?"

Xu Ning had figured it out; this seemed to be a father and son discussing something, not genuinely arguing.

However, for an Old man of his age, such strong emotions were not good.

So Xu Ning walked over and spoke with a smile.

"What are you two talking about so lively?"

The Old man and the Middle-aged Man both knew Xu Ning, and seeing him approach, they greeted him with smiles.

"Manager Xu, it's nothing, I'm just trying to persuade my father to enjoy his golden years," the Middle-aged Man explained to Xu Ning.

"Enjoy what golden years!" The Old man excitedly pulled Xu Ning's arm, "Xiao Xu, you come and be the judge for us."
