Chapter 1006: Chapter 995: Confessing to the Beautiful CEO
“Ning Fan, you don’t need to hide from me. Did you come to Dragon City for something?”
Xu Ruolan is a clever woman; she actually knew Ning Fan’s purpose for coming to Dragon City all along.
Seeing he couldn’t hide it from her, Ning Fan lowered his head and let out a soft laugh.
“Yes. I have some matters to attend to in Dragon City.”
“Can you tell me? After all, with the relationship we have now… I want to share some of the burden…”
Speaking of sharing burdens.
Xu Ruolan’s cheeks noticeably reddened a bit.
In the past, it would have been nearly impossible for her to say such words to a man. But things are different now, because she has been involved with Ning Fan, and her heart has already deeply fallen for him.
Ning Fan is her man. Since he is facing troubles, as a woman, shouldn’t she share in the burden with him?
Looking at her persistent and determined eyes.
Ning Fan took out a cigarette, lit it, and inhaled deeply twice.
With a smile, he said, “Since you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
“This secret has been buried deep within me for a long time. Originally, I didn’t want to tell you, but I know that sooner or later you would still find out.”
Saying this, he slowly exhaled smoke and smiled, “You once had amnesia. That is something you know.”
“I know about this. You mentioned it when you first brought it up, and I asked you, but you didn’t tell me the specifics, so I didn’t ask deeply.”
Xu Ruolan nodded.
Ning Fan had previously told her about the amnesia, and back then, Ning Fan spoke to her in a joking manner.
Xu Ruolan thought he was just joking, so she didn’t ask deeply.
Now it seems the situation is far more complicated than she imagined.
“Five years ago, I was picked up by my master. At that time, I was severely injured, my bones were fractured, my consciousness was unclear, and most crucially, all my previous memories were gone.”
Saying this, Ning Fan let out a bitter laugh; time flows like water, and in a blink, five years have passed.
“Over the years, I have traveled far and wide searching for my lost memories, but unfortunately, there has been no effect to date. I started collecting the Nine Souls Jade, hoping to retrieve my lost memories through it.
Unfortunately, I haven’t completed the collection of the Nine Souls Jade yet, so my memory hasn’t been restored.”
“Go on.”
Xu Ruolan gently nodded, her face serious, sitting there calmly listening to Ning Fan.
“Before coming to Dragon City, I didn’t hold out much hope. After all, it’s been many years; it’s not something that can be resolved in a day or two.”
“But just last night, I met a girl. She is a friend from my past in Dragon City, although I can’t remember what our relationship was before. She told me about my identity and my background. Unfortunately, this family is far more complicated than I imagined.
They are Dragon City’s top family, the Ning Family!”
“What! The Ning Family?”
Xu Ruolan was shocked, her face changed, and she said, “You’re actually from the Ning Family!”
“Yes.”
Ning Fan nodded, shrugged helplessly, continued to smoke, and said, “It sounds quite laughable. There are dozens if not hundreds of families with the surname Ning in the world, and I didn’t expect to be a descendant of Dragon City’s Ning Family.
It’s just… they’re not very welcoming to me.”
Upon these words, Ning Fan felt heartache, for his mother was killed by members of the Ning Family.
Even if he can’t recall any memories now, his heart still hurts because, after all, it was his biological mother!
From all of this, one could infer that there are people in the Ning Family who want him dead!
They don’t want him alive!
“What do you plan to do next?” Xu Ruolan asked with concern.
“Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it,” Ning Fan said with a bitter smile, shaking his head as he stood up and pulled out a bottle of Moutai from the liquor cabinet, “Next, shall we drink till we’re done?”
“Okay!”
Xu Ruolan understood that Ning Fan didn’t want to talk about certain things, so she refrained from asking further questions.
Since he’s in a bad mood, she would accompany him for a few drinks.
“Can you still handle this strong liquor?”
Ning Fan took out two glasses, filled them, and handed one to Xu Ruolan.
Looking at the high alcohol content of the liquor, Xu Ruolan’s face turned pale.
Truth be told, she was accustomed to red wine and really not used to strong liquor, as it’s too stimulating.
But in front of Ning Fan, she put on a brave front and said, “What’s there not to be used to, it’s just liquor, isn’t it?”
“Haha, if you can’t handle it, don’t force yourself.”
Ning Fan laughed.
Xu Ruolan didn’t explain, she picked up the glass and started drinking.
Gulp…
Upon drinking the liquor, Xu Ruolan’s delicate and fair face immediately turned a fiery shade of red.
“How is it?”
“Spicy!”
Xu Ruolan was choked up, her eyes almost tearing up.
“Uh, you should stick to red wine; strong liquor isn’t for you.”
With that, Ning Fan picked up his glass and drank it in one go, the fiery liquor flowing into his stomach instantly sobering him up.
“Who said I can’t handle it! If you can drink, I can drink too!”
Never one to admit defeat, Xu Ruolan picked up the bottle and poured herself another glass, drinking it again right in front of Ning Fan.
“Oh my, aren’t you afraid of stomach bleeding?”
Ning Fan was taken aback.
“What’s there to fear, I’ve prepared milk for it, I’ll drink a little milk to take care of my stomach.”
Xu Ruolan said seriously.
“Haha, you’re really silly.”
Ning Fan said reluctantly, still taking her glass away, feeling sorry for her, not allowing her to continue drinking.
“Is your mood better now?”
Being deprived of her glass, she wasn’t angry, instead she consoled Ning Fan.
Speak of it, Ning Fan is an optimistic person; it’s the first time she has seen him so upset.
Seeing him like this, Xu Ruolan’s heart was really aching.
“Silly woman, is it worth it to do all this for me?”
Ning Fan said helplessly, reaching out to lift her beautiful chin.
Xu Ruolan slapped his hand away, rolled her eyes at him.
“If you can sacrifice for me, why can’t I sacrifice for you? Besides, it’s the 21st century now, gender equality. Whatever men can do, we women can do too.”
“Really?”
Suddenly, Ning Fan pushed her down onto the sofa, pressing against her tender body.
With a cunning smile, he said, “Like this now, can you?”
“Who said I can’t?”
Xu Ruolan’s face turned a deep shade of red, learning Ning Fan’s dominant posture, she tried to push him away but found his strength was too strong, she couldn’t move him at all.
“If you have the guts, get up and let me push you down!”
“Alright.”
Ning Fan laughed.
Suddenly, Xu Ruolan pushed him down onto the sofa with force.
Their eyes met.
Xu Ruolan revealed a mischievous smile and said triumphantly, “Haven’t I pushed you down now?”
“Yes, you’re really impressive.”
Ning Fan touched her delicate cheeks, smiling warmly.
His gaze suddenly became a bit lascivious.
“You! You rogue!”
Suddenly, as if realizing something, Xu Ruolan jumped up from him. But just as she sprung up, Ning Fan forcibly pulled her back, then planted a domineering kiss right on her soft lips.
“Mmm…”
Xu Ruolan instantly couldn’t speak.
