Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Acting Coy and Clingy
Xiao Yuan immediately understood what Xiao Yu meant.
She said to Ye Ning, "Ye Ning, why don’t you give it a try? Get his WeChat number, and we can all add him?"
Ye Ning turned her head to look at Zhao Guqing again.
Honestly, she hasn’t yet found her footing in B City, and she’s in no mood to date an ordinary guy.
Even if the guy is handsome, it doesn’t matter.
She must find someone who can compete with Ye Fei.
At that moment, the waiter who Zhao Guqing had called earlier came over with a tray.
On the tray was a bottle of red wine and three glasses.
Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned, then said to the waiter, "We didn’t order this wine."
Tonight’s treat was on Ye Ning.
They knew Ye Ning was wealthy.
However, they didn’t want to take advantage of Ye Ning too much.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan couldn’t tell expensive wine from cheap wine.
But there wasn’t any cheap wine in the bar.
No matter how much it sells for outside, it’s expensive in the bar.
"Yeah, we didn’t order it." Xiao Yuan quickly added.
The waiter smiled and said, "This is a treat from that gentleman to the three of you."
The waiter turned sideways and gestured towards Zhao Guqing.
To facilitate conversation, the tables were not close together.
Plus, the music was playing.
Therefore, conversations between guests at neighboring tables weren’t clearly overheard.
Ye Ning turned her head in the direction indicated by the waiter and saw Zhao Guqing.
Even if she had resolved in her heart to disregard ordinary people with just handsome faces.
But seeing Zhao Guqing’s handsome face made her heart skip a beat.
Zhao Guqing slightly curled his lips and raised his glass.
Meanwhile, the waiter opened the wine and poured a glass for each of the three.
Then Xiao Yu said, "That handsome guy is pretty interesting. People usually treat by the glass in bars, but he treated us to a whole bottle. How generous of him."
Upon seeing Zhao Guqing up close, Ye Ning found him familiar.
As if she had seen him somewhere before.
But she couldn’t remember for the moment.
Thinking of this, Ye Ning picked up her glass.
She was about to tell Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan she wanted to go to Zhao Guqing.
She heard Xiao Yuan say, "Ye Ning, why don’t you take the opportunity to thank him? That way, you’ll get to know him."
"Exactly." Xiao Yu urged her, "Although the place is not big, there are many girls. From one glance, you can see all types.
"He didn’t offer wine to anyone else but chose to offer you. Obviously, he likes you at first glance." Xiao Yu said.
Ye Ning was still holding her glass, intending to be reserved for a moment.
But hearing Xiao Yu’s praise, she couldn’t help glowing.
Ye Ning felt that she was the most dazzling in this venue today.
Looking around, no one was prettier than her.
Moreover, with Zhao Guqing offering wine, the waiter’s voice was loud, not subtle.
So the neighboring table heard it.
When the neighboring table heard it and spread the word.
The venue was not large, and in no time all the guests knew that the striking man who just walked in offered wine to Ye Ning’s table.
What does offering wine mean?
It means wanting to get acquainted.
Once acquainted, perhaps spend a joyful night together.
"What do you mean ’offered to just me’?" Ye Ning feigned modesty.
Originally, she wasn’t of this character.
But seeing that Ye Fei could gain Zhao Gushen’s favor.
It seemed those in high positions liked Ye Fei’s demeanor?
Otherwise, among those noble ladies, Zhao Gushen chose Ye Fei, so he must like something different?
Perhaps the manners of noble birth had become boring.
Hence, they like someone like Ye Fei.
Thinking about it.
Apart from the benefits a family alliance brings, speaking of personal preferences.
Zhao Gushen himself was from a prominent family, familiar with such manners since childhood.
With such people surrounding him.
Getting bored is normal.
Thinking this way, Ye Ning unintentionally tried to emulate Ye Fei.
However, she had no understanding of what Zhao Gushen truly liked about Ye Fei.
She never really tried to understand Ye Fei.
She looked down on Ye Fei, even resented and envied her.
With these feelings present, Ye Ning’s perception of Ye Fei was tinted, making it impossible to truly see Ye Fei’s qualities.
What she perceived was her own assumptions.
She felt Ye Fei was being pretentious.
Ye Ning tried to imitate that.
As a result, she became even more pretentious.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan exchanged a glance, Xiao Yuan’s eyes flickered, then she smiled and said, "Come on! Though the wine is for our table, Xiao Yu and I know it’s actually meant for you."
"We are aware of that." Xiao Yu chimed in.
"Oh, don’t be like that." Ye Ning pretended to be shy.
But the dim lights in the bar hid any blush even if she was blushing.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan felt her pretending to be shy was rather annoying.
Xiao Yu urged her, "Hurry up and go over! He’s such a handsome man, no matter how things develop, it’s good to know him."
After Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuan’s repeated urging, Ye Ning pretended to agree.
She feigned reluctance and shyness.
Then picked up the glass, maintaining her pretentious demeanor, and headed toward Zhao Guqing.
"What do you think she means by this act?" Xiao Yuan asked softly after Ye Ning left.
Xiao Yu sneered, "No idea where she learned this from. If someone taught her, they really misled her."
"With that cloying demeanor, do you think Young Master Qing likes it?" Xiao Yuan sneered.
No wonder Ye Ning, who logically had no connections in B City, suddenly became acquainted with these two.
Turns out, it was arranged by Zhao Guqing.
Both of these girls were average-looking and knew Zhao Guqing’s status.
Despite some fanciful dreams, they were realistic.
Not genuinely hoping for anything from Zhao Guqing.
They were merely carrying out tasks for Zhao Guqing.
"Young Master Qing couldn’t possibly like her." Xiao Yu also sneered, full of disdain, "If she wasn’t useful, would Young Master Qing even bother?"
Nevertheless, Zhao Guqing’s attention towards Ye Ning despite her previous reputation made Xiao Yu envious.
Ye Ning tried to mimic Ye Fei’s manners from memory.
But she forgot, if it were Ye Fei, she probably wouldn’t have gone over.
"Hello." Ye Ning approached, holding her glass shyly.
Zhao Guqing pointed to a nearby seat. "Please sit."
Ye Ning smiled and sat down, "Thank you for the wine. It was too generous."
Zhao Guqing gave a slight smile, "It’s nothing. Just making friends."
Zhao Guqing looked at Ye Ning, "When I came in, you caught my eye first."
