791: Chapter 780: Date 791: Chapter 780: Date Face-changing had already returned to Zhonghai, but Ning Fan was still unaware of this.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Feifei was still trying to coax Tulip into cooperating with them to lure Face-changing out.
Just thinking about Face-changing made Ning Fan rather irritable, honestly, because the threat posed by this person was simply too great.
Mastering the Face-changing Technique to perfection, if one day this guy disguised himself as Ning Fan and captured Xu Ruolan and the others, Ning Fan would truly be too late to regret it.
So, for such a threat, Ning Fan couldn’t possibly ignore it.
If possible, he wanted to eliminate the threat of Face-changing before any danger arose.
The fact that Teng Zhuhai had been seriously injured by him and was still in a coma meant that the Yunteng family had no time to provoke Ning Fan now.
Under the leadership of Teng Feiyue, the current Yunteng family was keeping a low profile, and as for the Shangguan Family in Jiangcheng, they were having a hard time since they no longer had the Yunteng family to look after them.
But what did their life or death have to do with him?
The worse the Shangguan family was doing, the happier Ning Fan was.
When dealing with enemies, Ning Fan certainly didn’t possess much of a merciful heart.
Ning Fan was only concerned about the current state of the Yunteng family.
When he received the intelligence report that Teng Feiyue had now taken over for Teng Zhuhai, Ning Fan’s first reaction was quite surprised, and after observing Teng Feiyue’s recent actions and her mild methods of dealing, he began to regard this woman differently for the first time.
For him, this was not a bad person, because it seemed that the Yunteng family was definitely too preoccupied to bother him now, and Teng Feiyue had no such intentions either.
As the Yunteng family was recuperating and keeping a low profile, Ning Fan didn’t need to worry about the Yunteng family for the time being, which gave him some relief.
“It’s this Face-changing, where on earth could this guy be?”
Ning Fan now just wanted to quickly dig out Face-changing and eliminate this ticking time bomb as soon as possible, or he would really find it hard to feel at ease.
“What are you muttering about?”
Xu Xiaoqing, who was carrying bags both big and small in each hand, observed Ning Fan muttering to himself like an absent-minded man and couldn’t help but ask.
The two of them were in a shopping mall.
Today, Ning Fan, who rarely had free time, was dragged out by Xu Xiaoqing for a day of shopping.
Naturally, Ning Fan couldn’t refuse Xu Xiaoqing’s invitation, as she was his beloved younger sister-in-law.
However, accompanying a woman shopping was still physically demanding.
In just a few hours, his sister-in-law had bought so many things.
Her buying power was clearly strong, and Ning Fan wasn’t sure if by the end there would be any space left on him to hang any more items.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, imagining a scene where his body was fully hung with merchandise.
“Silly goose, after we finish shopping this morning, how about we go watch a movie in the afternoon?”
As they walked, Xu Xiaoqing spoke up again.
“Let’s see when the time comes…” Ning Fan casually responded, his mind was all on Umbrella, and he hadn’t really thought about Xu Xiaoqing’s suggestion.
Seeing Ning Fan’s indifferent attitude, Xu Xiaoqing frowned, pouted, and said in dissatisfaction, “What’s wrong, are you unhappy about going shopping with me?”
Perhaps Ning Fan’s current demeanor was interpreted by Xu Xiaoqing as impatience; she was clearly very discontent.
Ning Fan suddenly snapped back to the present, looking at Xu Xiaoqing somewhat unexpectedly.
He had just realized what was happening and was slightly confused, not understanding why the young lady was firing up until he remembered what Xu Xiaoqing had just said, which made him smile ruefully.
“Watching a movie?
Of course, we should watch one, but may I ask, what movie?”
Ning Fan gave a sheepish smile, knowing this was not the time to offend Xu Xiaoqing, for fear that the girl might pounce and bite him if she got upset.
Xu Xiaoqing still pouted, speaking irritably, “I said, ever since you came out you’ve been out of it.
What on earth are you thinking about?”
With such a beautiful young aunt like her around, Ning Fan really didn’t understand why he would still be distracted by other things.
Xu Xiaoqing stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Ning Fan discontentedly.
Xu Xiaoqing’s gaze immediately put great pressure on Ning Fan; at this moment, if he didn’t explain himself well, he was afraid he’d be subjected to a verbal lashing from Xu Xiaoqing.
“I was just thinking about how you would look in the clothes you bought today!”
When it came to lying, Ning Fan did it effortlessly and with an aggrieved expression that made Xu Xiaoqing almost believe him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoqing’s face turned red and she retorted sharply, “Don’t get any weird ideas!”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes!”
Ning Fan quickly nodded, feeling relieved inside; now he had stabilized her.
“If you really look forward to it, I’ll wear them for you when we get back…”
Suddenly, Xu Xiaoqing murmured shyly, her voice trailing off to a mosquito-like whisper, leaving Ning Fan completely unable to catch what she was actually saying.
Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, asking, “What did you just say?”
“You…
never mind, I didn’t say anything!”
Xu Xiaoqing turned her head away and then clenched her fists, muttering something to herself.
Ning Fan didn’t pay much attention to it; instead, throughout the next period, he was treated completely like a beast of burden.
Xu Xiaoqing didn’t seem to pity him at all, assigning all the heavy and tiring tasks to him.
However, Ning Fan wouldn’t complain about that; being a gentleman, he naturally had to be accommodating towards women.
At noon, they had lunch at a fancy restaurant.
Xu Xiaoqing seemed well-prepared; just by giving her name upon entering, someone led them to a quiet spot.
It appeared she had prepared a lot for this “date.”
Ning Fan did not reveal Xu Xiaoqing’s intentions, but obediently sat down and ate well.
They casually chatted at the table.
To those unaware, they would seem like a couple intimately in love, not realizing that actually, they were brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
“Aren’t you curious about what movie we’re going to watch this afternoon?
Now, I’m giving you a chance to make a good guess!”
Xu Xiaoqing shook her knife and fork, a sly fox-like smile flashing in her eyes.
Ning Fan’s hands holding the knife and fork stopped abruptly; even the pleasure of eating steak faded as he pondered for a moment.
“Is it about love?”
“Hmm, pretty much, delve a bit deeper!”
What did a bit deeper entail?
Ning Fan was confused.
Even though he knew that Xu Xiaoqing planned to watch a romantic movie with him that afternoon, what did she mean by “delve a bit deeper?”
