229: Chapter 229: You Can’t Get the Girls Because You’re Too Ugly 229: Chapter 229: You Can’t Get the Girls Because You’re Too Ugly Lan Kexin was puffing with anger as she watched Ning Fan.
She had kindly invited Ning Fan to her house, and yet he had the audacity to misinterpret it.
Lan Kexin felt so wronged at this moment.
This was her very first time!
The first time she had invited a boy to her house!
“Alright, alright, just to eat, let’s get this straight, I won’t eat today, and if I get to your place and what you’ve prepared isn’t enough to fill my stomach, then I’ll have to eat you up!”
Ning Fan said with a suggestive smile, at first Lan Kexin didn’t understand and argued a bit, but then she immediately realized what Ning Fan’s last “eat” meant.
“Pah, pah, pah, can’t you be serious?!” Lan Kexin’s face reddened, and her shy appearance was truly a delightful sight.
“How am I not being serious?
I’m thrilled to be invited to dinner by you!”
“I…
I won’t talk to you anymore, I’ll come to pick you up this afternoon!”
After dropping that line, Lan Kexin, with her face flushed, ran off from the place, leaving Ning Fan with a graceful view of her retreating figure.
Watching her figure, Ning Fan couldn’t help whistling a tune, his life was going quite splendidly.
Look at that, a great beauty invited him over to her place today!
Not going home tonight!
Ning Fan composed this text message and deliberately sent it while Xu Ruolan was in a meeting, and as for what happened afterwards, that was no longer his business!
“Bro Ning, what did Manager Lan want with you?”
In the security department, a crowd surrounded Ning Fan, all eager to probe for some news from him.
Serving tea, delivering water, lighting cigarettes, all done in one smooth sequence, with some even offering to massage his shoulders and legs—you’d think Ning Fan had become the lord of some household.
If the bunch standing around him weren’t men, but a group of maids, that scene would have been even better!
“Go on, go on, is that something you can ask?”
A guy squeezed through, ignoring the dissatisfaction of the man before him, and handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea.
“Bro Ning, my admiration for you is as endless as the Yellow River!”
“Alright, alright, cut it out, if you’ve got something to say, say it, otherwise get back to what you were doing before the chief pops by and gives you a bunch a scolding!”
Ning Fan waved them off, a bunch of big men being so enthusiastic towards him, it was a surprise he didn’t feel disgusted.
The man laughed awkwardly and then pleaded with a sorrowful face, “Bro Ning, you see, what are we missing here?!”
“Missing what…” Ning Fan squinted at the group and jokingly scolded, “What else could you be missing?
You need love, that’s what!”
“Right, that’s it, we lack love!” The man slapped his thigh and gave Ning Fan a thumbs up, “Us brothers are still single, could you teach us a trick, we’ve prepared the tribute to become your disciples!”
The guys crowded around, apparently they had been waiting there for him.
“Useless stuff, that’s something I really can’t teach.” Ning Fan took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but found his lighter was missing.
Click!
Click!
Click…
Three or four lighters responded at once, all swiftly passed over to him.
Each set of eyes was filled with sleazy expectation as they looked at him.
“Scram!
A bunch of grown men acting like queers.”
Ning Fan cursed loudly.
Then, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a solemn expression, he said, “It’s not that I don’t want to teach you guys how to pick up girls, it’s just that…”
“Because of what, Bro Ning?”
Everyone leaned in closer, faces filled with anticipation.
“Because you guys…
are too ugly!”
Ning Fan answered truthfully.
“…”
“…”
“…”
Ning Fan laughed and then directly shooed away these love-deprived fellows.
Time flew by, and before long, it was already afternoon.
Ning Fan was asleep in the security department, not knowing what sweet dreams he was having, continuously emitting laughter from his mouth.
“Ning Fan!”
Suddenly, a delicate figure appeared at the entrance of the security department.
With her arrival, the whole place quieted down instantly.
The crowd was staring at Lan Kexin, standing at the door, with their mouths agape, unable to help themselves from drooling.
“Who’s calling me?!” Ning Fan stood up in a very ungraceful manner, then saw Lan Kexin, “Oh, it’s you.
Have you finished work?”
“Um…”
Watched by everyone’s ambiguous gaze, Lan Kexin shyly lowered her head, uttering a voice as small as a mosquito.
The hearts of everyone in the security department surged with excitement at Lan Kexin’s reaction, which was quite unexpected.
Her shy appearance was such that if anyone said there was no flirtation between Lan Kexin and Brother Fan, they wouldn’t believe it.
“That’s not right, it’s not yet time to knock off work!”
Ning Fan glanced at the clock on the wall; it still wasn’t time to finish work.
“Brother Ning, the company is holding an event this afternoon, and most employees have been let off work already…”
Off to the side, Zhu Xuetao reminded him in a low voice.
Everyone knew about this except Ning Fan.
This was rather embarrassing, Ning Fan rubbed his hair, chuckled awkwardly, and then walked over to Lan Kexin.
“Let’s go.”
Thus, under the envious gaze of the entire security department, Ning Fan and Lan Kexin walked side by side, an image of intimacy that anyone would notice.
“They are definitely dating!”
“I told you all this morning, but you wouldn’t believe me, see?
It hasn’t been long, and Manager Lan, the great beauty of our company, has been captured by Brother Ning like that!”
“It’s maddening to compare oneself with others.
Guys, why don’t we have such luck?”
“It’s all fate, just be sour and be done with it!”
The entire security department was a cacophony of strange yells.
Ning Fan and Lan Kexin together was explosive news.
Zhu Xuetao sighed, listening to the noise all around, he knew these animals couldn’t hold back their loneliness, so he shouted, “Shut up, all of you!
If anyone here has too much hormonal secretion, go clean the building!”
Instantly, a series of boos filled the security department.
…
On the other side, Ning Fan and Lan Kexin went directly to the underground parking lot.
Having found the car, just as Lan Kexin was about to take out her keys to unlock it, Ning Fan snatched the keys away from her.
“How could I let a lady bother with driving?
Allow me to do the honors!”
Ning Fan pressed the car key and, like a gentleman, took Lan Kexin’s small hand to open the passenger door for her.
“Thank you!”
Lan Kexin looked at Ning Fan, somewhat surprised.
This guy could actually be quite chivalrous…
Ning Fan had no idea what Lan Kexin was thinking.
He got into the car from the other side, his aura as an experienced driver immediately enveloped him.
“An old driver’s car, you can feel at ease!” Ning Fan turned his head and flashed a smile, shattering the nice illusion Lan Kexin had just managed to build up in her mind.
Vroom vroom vroom!
The engine started, shift gears!
“Ah, what are you doing!”
Lan Kexin suddenly blushed, scolding in a soft voice, turning her head to glare at Ning Fan angrily.
Ning Fan, puzzled, replied, “I’m shifting gears!”
“Where is your hand touching while you shift gears?!”
Lan Kexin looked at Ning Fan through gritted teeth, her face burning red.
Shifting gears?
