Chapter 1259: Chapter 1248: Monster Ning Fan, Lovely Kexin
“Okay?”
Zhu Xuetao first lifted the usual 80 kilograms, then started lifting 100 kilograms, 120 kilograms…
The more he added, the more difficult it became.
Yet even so, everyone watched in awe.
Because for an average strong man, being able to bench press 80 kilograms is already quite good.
But Zhu Xuetao kept increasing the weight, and his momentum was quite intimidating.
“How much do you think Old Zhu can lift?”
“Hard to say, this guy hasn’t been seen lifting barbells, only regular exercises before, playing with tens of kilograms.”
“He was really silent before he struck suddenly.”
“Old Zhu was already quite impressive, just that you all hadn’t witnessed it.”
“Previously, we only saw him being good at fighting, until Ning Fan came and outshone him.”
Ah…
Zhu Xuetao lifted 150 kilograms, but when trying to lift 160 kilograms, he ended in failure. He smiled bitterly, “Boss Ning, I can only bench press 150 kilograms. I’m not young anymore; my strength might decrease, which is normal.”
“Let me try.”
Ning Fan walked over and attempted Zhu Xuetao’s failed 160-kilogram barbell.
Just with a little effort, he easily lifted it, without any pressure.
“What? How is that possible? It’s like lifting a chick?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhu Xuetao’s eyes flashed, and he appeared as if he expected this.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fan’s strength was so terrifying, the weight he couldn’t lift was easily pushed up with a slight nudge from Ning Fan. Is there really justice?
“Add more weight!”
Ning Fan shouted to them, giving orders.
“Alright.”
They added another ten kilograms, making it 170 kilograms.
Ning Fan tried it, took a deep breath, pushed up, and once again lifted it with ease.
180 kilograms, ha, lifted again.
190 kilograms, some delay, but still lifted.
200 kilograms, slower, gradually lifted up.
“Is this for real?”
The security guards were all pale, unable to believe their eyes.
Just as everyone was talking and constantly marveling, a delicate face peeked in from the gym door.
It was none other than Lan Kexin.
“Oh?”
Everyone turned to see this HR department boss arrive and looked at Ning Fan.
For this beauty to come to the security department, besides bringing newcomers, it’s to find Ning Fan.
Their relationship is complex and tangled; it’s not a secret anymore.
Ning Fan noticed the strange looks from everyone, turned around, saw Lan Kexin peeking in, and immediately looked displeased, commanding the crowd, “You all keep practicing well, I’ll step out for a bit.”
“Okay.”
Everyone seemed to hear the Gospel of Matthew, instantly cheering, knowing that with Ning Fan gone, they could relax and rest.
Ning Fan didn’t point it out, just walked out.
Seeing Ning Fan, Lan Kexin was quite happy.
“You’re back, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Only just returned.”
Ning Fan looked deeply at her face, noticed she was getting thinner, and didn’t know what she had been through, so he put an arm around her shoulder, walked with her outside.
“Kexin, haven’t seen you for a while, miss me so much that you look a bit haggard?”
“Mm-hmm… no, it’s not that.”
Lan Kexin nodded, then immediately denied it, pulling him straight to the rooftop terrace.
Her slender body leaned against the railing, dress swaying in the breeze, looking a bit thin. She turned to look at Ning Fan, gently saying, “Are you free next Sunday, can you accompany me home?”
“What’s up, did something happen at home that’s unsolvable?”
Ning Fan paused, then asked puzzled.
“No!”
Lan Kexin frowned, somewhat impatiently saying, “My mom says I’m getting older and should find a boyfriend. If I don’t bring one home soon, she’ll arrange a date for me.”
“So, you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?”
Ning Fan teased her by tapping her nose affectionately.
“Yes!” Lan Kexin had no repulsion, instead, she was very happy about his intimate gesture, “Next Sunday, I need to go home, my mom arranged a date for me, so I’m bringing you to shut her up.”
“Taking me to your date, is that really okay?”
Ning Fan frowned, sounding a bit jealous.
“What, you want to avoid responsibility? All those sweet words before, don’t know how many times you’ve kissed me, you should take responsibility, right?” Lan Kexin said aggrievedly.
Actually, she had already considered Ning Fan as her boyfriend, just afraid she wasn’t suitable for him.
This time, with Ning Fan in Dragon City, she missed him day and night, unable to sleep.
So, her face appeared somewhat haggard.
Seeing Ning Fan at first glance, her eyes lit up, as if revived,
that’s the power of love, ineffable and indescribable.
But after learning about Ning Fan’s arranged marriage with Xu Ruolan, her attitude became ambiguous.
Because her mindset is relatively traditional, she doesn’t want to be a third party.
But she couldn’t deceive herself about her feelings, which was deeply in love with Ning Fan, unable to extricate herself.
Ning Fan felt that this poised girl rarely asked for anyone’s help, and their interactions indeed exceeded the boundaries of friendship, too intimate, more like a couple, teasing and sweetly affectionate.
“Alright, since Kexin said it, what else can I say? Even if I don’t have time, I’ll make time to accompany you back home.”
“Great, this way mom won’t say I don’t have a boyfriend and won’t use it to pressure me anymore.”
Lan Kexin cheered, suddenly kissing Ning Fan on the cheek, leaving a small mark.
Ning Fan playfully complained, “Hmph, you sneak-attacked me, what if someone else sees and misunderstands?”
“You’re afraid of a misunderstanding? You didn’t say this when you were kissing me, such a bad man.”
“By the way, is your father still gambling?”
Ning Fan, who once saved Lan Kexin from misery, knew a lot about her father, who was a shameless gambler.
After some discipline, it was unclear if he had reformed.
Lan Kexin’s eyes showed some relief, “Much better than before, he has started working outside, after wasting so many years, suddenly working doesn’t have much to do, just doing some physical labor to support the family, as long as he’s on the right track, my mom is quite satisfied with him now.”
Ning Fan nodded, “That’s good, if he dares to repeat his mistakes, I’ll disable one of his legs.”
“No, he won’t.”
Despite being her father, Lan Kexin still carried some worry.
