Chapter 1871: Candlelight Dinner

In the private room, the lights were dim. On the table, there were many roses, candles, goblets, red wine, and romantic music, which was obviously a candlelight dinner!

Leng Shaoting wasn’t a romantic man, so he hadn’t done any romantic things for Gu Ning until today, so it made Gu Ning feel quite touched.

Once Leng Shaoting saw Gu Ning, his eyes were full of love towards her. He strode over and handed her 11 roses. “Here.”

Gu Ning didn’t take the roses right away, but squinted at him joking, “Why are you so romantic all of a sudden? You have even prepared flowers for me. Have you done anything that’ll annoy me? Are you trying to make it up to me?”

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting put on an evil smile and pressed Gu Ning into his arms. He stared at her with desire in his eyes, saying in his husky voice, “Well, I indeed haven’t done many romantic things normally. So I made my girl suspicious of me when I did so today. I think I should be more romantic in the future!”

He knew that Gu Ning was just joking, so he wasn’t mad at all.

Leng Shaoting seldom smiled, so Gu Ning was distracted by his charming smile at this moment.

Seeing Gu Ning’s reaction, Leng Shaoting was excited and his smile became broader.

Leng Shaoting remained quiet, staring straight at her.

Gu Ning felt a little uneasy and came back to her senses. She took the flowers from Leng Shaoting’s hands and smiled. “Sure, you should do more romantic things from now on.”

No girl disliked romance, but she was too busy to think about that sometimes.

After that, Leng Shaoting took Gu Ning to the table. He behaved like a gentleman and pulled out the chair for her and let her have a seat. Then Leng Shaoting went to sit across from her before ringing the bell to call a waiter to serve the meal.

It was only about 6 pm when they finished dinner. Anyway, since they already finished the meal, they didn’t stay any longer and soon left.

However, as soon as they stood up, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting heard familiar voices from the next room.

Although the hotel had excellent insulation, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had a better hearing.

Leng Shaoting squinted looking serious. “Ningning, see who is in the next room.”

“Sure.” Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see the inside of the next room at once. “Shen Yanfeng, Yuan Wenrui, and a strange man are there. The man is about 30. He seems to be a gangster. He is sitting with Shen Yanfeng. I bet he’s Shen Yanfeng’s friend.”

Because Leng Shaoting had talked about Shen Yanfeng and Yuan Wenrui’s relations.h.i.+p with her, Gu Ning specially told K to find Yuan Wenrui’s photos for her. She was able to recognize him once she saw him right now.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was more displeased. “He might be Long Tianhu’s man. Let’s see what they’re going to talk about.”

“Sure!” Gu Ning agreed, then sat down again, listening to their conversation in silence.

In the next room, Shen Yanfeng, Yuan Wenrui and the man Gu Ning didn’t know sat across each other.

“Lord Yuan, everything is prepared. As long as you agree, we can finish the deal. If it succeeds, our cooperation will be reached. We’ll be in the same boat in the future. Lord Yuan, please help us with that position,” said Shen Yanfeng.

“No problem, I’ll certainly keep my word. After this election, the position of the deputy director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau in the capital will be yours,” said Yuan Wenrui.

“Great, can we finish the deal at the abandoned warehouse on XX Road in Haicheng District at 11 pm tomorrow?” said Shen Yanfeng.

“Of course, I’ll arrange some people to get the goods tomorrow,” said Yuan Wenrui.

With Yuan Wenrui’s agreement, Shen Yanfeng showed satisfaction.

Hearing that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting exchanged a glance without continuing to listen to their conversation and left afterwards.

They didn’t open their mouths again until they were in the car.

“Goods? What could it be?” asked Gu Ning.

“Either arms or drugs. I found out that Yuan Wenrui is building his force in the underworld earlier, so they need those goods,” said Leng Shaoting.

Although he had found out that Yuan Wenrui was building his force in the underworld, he didn’t know many details, so he didn’t know how to take action.

“Should we damage their plan tomorrow night?” Gu Ning put on an evil, calculating smile.

The Leng family’s enemies were also her enemies.

“I had the same idea.” Leng Shaoting also smiled. Since they ran into them, they must do something to damage the deal.

Not only was Leng Shaoting going to stop Shen Yanfeng from working with Yuan Wenrui, but he would also prevent Yuan Wenrui from building his force in the underworld.

If Yuan Wenrui succeeded in doing that, the four dominant families in the capital would be in chaos.

“It’s still early. Where should we go next?” asked Gu Ning.

“Why don’t we go to watch a film?” asked Leng Shaoting.

They were on a date after all, so they naturally should go to share dinner, watch a film, and have s.e.x.

“Great.” Gu Ning agreed with a smile.

Even though she wasn’t a movie lover, she was willing to watch a film with Leng Shaoting. As long as they were together, she was willing to do anything with him.

Once they walked into the movie theater, they became the most noticeable couple.

Shen Zhilin and her friend came to watch a movie today as well, and they chose the same movie theater as Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

Without surprise, she met them.

Shen Zhilin’s friend saw Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting before her, because she was amazed by the beautiful couple.

“Zhilin, look! That couple is so beautiful. The girl is pretty, while the man is handsome. I think the man is even more charming than my idol,” said Shen Zhilin’s friend.

Hearing that, Shen Zhilin turned to look at the couple. After a glance, she was annoyed and sad, clenching her hands tight.

She didn’t expect to see Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting here.

She wished that Leng Shaoting were holding her hand, but he wasn’t. Shen Zhilin hated Gu Ning to death at this moment.

Seeing her abnormal reaction, Shen Zhilin’s friend was worried. “Zhilin, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Shen Zhilin came back to her senses and composed herself, stopping paying attention to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

However, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had acute senses and they soon noticed Shen Zhilin, but they didn’t care about her.

Originally, Shen Zhilin tried to avoid Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, but they watched the same movie. Although there was a distance between their seats, they were in the same room, so she could barely focus on the film.

As a result, after only watching a third of the film, Shen Zhilin made an excuse and told her friend that she didn’t feel well and left.

“Zhilin, you don’t look normal today,” Shen Zhilin’s friend said as they walked out.
