He knew she wasn’t bad, her efforts to approach him were probably mainly for her own benefit.
She was a smart woman, also a complicated one, merely planning for her future by getting close to him, which he found reasonable.
After some thought, Ning Fan answered the phone, “Hello.”
“Ning Fan?” A sultry voice came through, instantly electrifying.
“Mmh…” Ning Fan hummed in response.
“Can you do me a favor?” Xu Rongfei hesitated but still asked.
“Let’s hear it,” Ning Fan replied thoughtfully.
“Let’s talk in person, I’m at XXX waiting for you,” Xu Rongfei said, then hung up.
Ning Fan touched his nose, realizing she didn’t even give him a chance to refuse.
Well, since that’s the case, he might as well go and see.
This time, Ning Fan didn’t let Xu Xiaoqing know he was going out.
After sneaking out, he walked along the main road, unsuccessfully trying to hail a taxi near the villa neighborhood.
If he had known, he would have driven instead.
So frustrating, Ning Fan thought helplessly.
Just then, he heard the honking of a car behind him, initially not paying attention and just stepping aside, but the honking became persistent and incessant.
Ning Fan frowned slightly.
Was the road not wide enough?
Turning around, he saw a red Ford slowly tailing him.
The window rolled down, revealing a delicate face.
Xu Rongfei!
Honestly, Xu Rongfei wasn’t outlandishly beautiful, but her ever-so-slight furrowed brows and eternally wistful eyes gave her a seductive, watery look.
Before meeting Xu Rongfei, Ning Fan could hardly imagine such a charming woman existed.
“What are you looking at, get in,” Xu Rongfei said, noticing Ning Fan’s dumbstruck expression and couldn’t help but coo.
Ning Fan chuckled awkwardly and got into the passenger seat, asking, “Weren’t you supposed to wait for me, why did you come here?”
“I’m asking for your help, it seemed insincere to make you come to me,” Xu Rongfei said with a playful laugh.
“Since you’re asking for my help, how will you repay me if I help you?” Ning Fan said with a smile.
Just after he spoke, he suddenly felt a gust of fragrance as Xu Rongfei pounced onto him.
Ning Fan jumped in shock, about to push her away, when he heard Xu Rongfei’s breathy voice by his ear, “Next time you get in the car, remember to buckle up.”
Xu Rongfei seductively fastened the seatbelt around Ning Fan but didn’t get up, instead lying on his chest and squinting her enchanting eyes with a smile, “Little brother, however you want me to repay you, I can agree.”
Wow, unbearable!
Ning Fan always considered himself to be quite resolute, but around Xu Rongfei, even without many thoughts, he couldn’t help himself.
“Actually, no repayment is needed, hehe…” Ning Fan said awkwardly.
This awkwardness made Xu Rongfei laugh out loud, but she reassured him it was okay.
Luckily, Xu Rongfei knew her limits and soon returned to her driver’s seat.
“Alright, enough teasing.
I called you here just to have you treat someone,” Xu Rongfei said as she brushed her bangs away lightly.
Even this gentle gesture was filled with allure.
“Treat someone?
Tell me more,” Ning Fan nodded and requested.
“A friend of mine got injured, I want you to help him.
You’ll see when we get there.
Let’s go now,” Xu Rongfei didn’t elaborate further and immediately started the car, accelerating away.
Soon, Xu Rongfei drove Ning Fan to a stadium.
Since cars were not allowed inside the stadium, they walked in.
Quickly, they arrived at a large basketball court.
The court wasn’t crowded, Xu Rongfei briefly scanned it and pointed out a person to Ning Fan, “There, that’s him.
You should be able to tell what’s wrong, right?”
Ning Fan followed Xu Rongfei’s pointing hand and immediately noticed an African American.
The man was towering, with dark skin, currently playing basketball while a formally dressed man protected him.
Protected, because this man was limping evidently during the game.
He dribbled and shot, but because of the limp, he was uncoordinated, even dribbling was a struggle, and his shooting accuracy was pitiable.
A leg problem?
Ning Fan was briefly startled, observing the man’s limp and the pained expression when dribbling, clearly a severe injury.
It was commendable that he was even standing, yet he still insisted on playing.
What was he thinking?
If this continued, his leg injury would only worsen.
By the African American’s side, an assistant kept advising him to give up, that continuing like this wasn’t a solution, but the man wouldn’t listen.
“I know my business, don’t bother me, I can do it, I used to be able to, and I still can!” the African American said angrily.
His irritation seemed to spike due to the assistant’s conciliatory attempts.
“That’s the situation.
He’s a professional basketball player, his name is Kobe, you know him, don’t you?” Xu Rongfei said with a smile.
But she saw Ning Fan looking clueless; he wasn’t interested in basketball, and his abilities made playing feel like child’s play.
Of course, he didn’t know who Kobe was.
Xu Rongfei sighed, “Okay.
Roughly, he injured his leg two years ago and was treated in a hospital for a long time.
According to the doctors, his issue should have been resolved, but somehow, it just didn’t heal.
He hasn’t been on the court for two.
“During these two years, he has continuously trained himself and forced himself to play, all in hopes of recovery.
He thought he could return to the games on his own, but unfortunately, his actions have only worsened his injury.”
