Chapter 660: Miss Ning, Are You Reminiscing Old Times with Me?
She again spent an intimate weekend with Si Yiyan, though they were not as l.u.s.tful or unrestrained as before. Most of the time, they would cuddle in bed with her revision notes while she asked Si Yiyan to tutor her.
After school, Wen Xinya packed up and left the inst.i.tute.
Ning Yuya asked to meet her at a bar.
It had been a while since Ning Yuya returned to the country, but Wen Xinya had yet to meet her. Hence, she agreed readily when Ning Yuya asked to meet her, for she wanted to see just how much Ning Yuya had changed after living abroad for three years.
The scene of Ning Yuya being chased out of the Wen Family three years ago was still fresh in her head and she dared not belittle Ning Yuya at all. She had always kept her guard up against her.
Of course, she was well aware that Ning Yuya had a hidden agenda for meeting her.
Wen Xinya arrived at the bar at eight in the evening.
It was a small bar that felt dodgy and was located in the red light district. She subconsciously disliked the place and kept her guard up at the thought of the “Birds Of Paradise” incident.
She did not believe that Ning Yuya would return the jewelry so easily.
She was certain that Ning Yuya would get up to some tricks.
As soon as she entered the bar, she caught sight of Ning Yuya.
The colorful lights were projected on Ning Yuya’s face, on which there was a thick layer of exquisite makeup which could not hide the menace that Wen Xinya was familiar with…
Ning Yuya was dressed in a black spaghetti strap top which exposed her alluring cleavage and a pair of shorts that exposed her fair and long legs. Being tall and slender, she had a killer figure and looked extremely sultry and seductive. However, Wen Xinya could tell that she was eroding on the inside.
Having noticed Wen Xinya, Ning Yuya gazed at her with raised brows and eyes that were like dark pools of ink. She raised her gla.s.s and gulped the liquor down in one go before placing it down and wiping her lips forcefully.
Wen Xinya walked towards her slowly and sat down opposite her with poise and grace. “I’m already here. Where are the items?”
She did not bother hesitating because Ning Yuya was not one to know her place. From the moment they entered the bar, Wen Xinya had been staying vigilant.
Ning Yuya’s rosy lips curled into a smile and she said, “Don’t get too impatient, it’s only a matter of time before I return it to you. We haven’t met in three years. It’s time we reminiscent and catch up with each other.”
Ning Yuya continued to swirl the gla.s.s in her hand nonchalantly while squinting at Wen Xinya.
Xia Ruya was right. Wen Xinya is no longer the same as she used to be when she first returned to the Wen Family. She’s no longer that frail, weak, powerless, disgraceful and boorish girl.
Wen Xinya crossed one leg over the other and remained seated quietly, exuding an unprecedented grace and poise, as well as a commanding aura that was almost terrifying.
Ning Yuya suddenly remembered the reports about Wen Xinya and her coming-of-age ceremony, during which she looked extremely posh and opulent.
Wen Xinya was just like a phoenix who had risen to resplendence.
Wen Xinya stared at her with an eye-catching and graceful aura, which made Ning Yuya feel small and pathetically inferior.
Ning Yuya suppressed her resentment that threatened to overflow from within her.
In the dimly lit corner, Wen Xinya sat beneath the glistening lights and stared at Ning Yuya, finding it difficult to see Ning Yuya’s emotions. She said calmly, “Miss Ning, you must be joking! What’s there to catch up between us?”
Whenever Ning Yuya saw her, she would explode with resentment. Yet, she could still stay so calm and composed at this moment. However, Wen Xinya did not believe that Ning Yuya had already given up all the hatred that she bore towards her after just three years. Her guess was that Ning Yuya had become much more scheming and smart.
She could not help but be reminded of Ning Shuqian, who had blinded her with her glib tongue in her previous lifetime. Hence, she felt that Ning Yuya was acting the same as Ning Shuqian.
Ning Yuya ignored her and instead gestured for a waiter to come forth. “I’d like to order a gla.s.s of Brandy.”
The waiter acknowledged and left.
Wen Xinya stared at her calmly, trying to deduce what tricks she was getting up to.
Ning Yuya smiled and exclaimed, “We haven’t seen each other in a long time! Surely you wouldn’t turn down my request to have a few drinks together?”
She had detested Wen Xinya for three years and would feel a strong urge to destroy her whenever she heard her name. She did not expect that she would one day sit down for a few drinks with Wen Xinya in such a calm manner.
Instead of answering her, Wen Xinya continued to stare at Ning Yuya and observe her changes.
Ning Yuya raised her brows and looked at her in disdain. “You’re not afraid of that, are you?”
Wen Xinya smirked and gibed. “Miss Ning, we’re already adults and yet you’re still resorting to such a lowly trick like taunting. Seems like you haven’t matured much in three years!”
Ning Yuya stared at the beautiful Wen Xinya who exuded a posh n.o.bility and arrogance. It was as if Wen Xinya was mocking her, making her feel extremely angered, though she managed to conceal her emotions.
At this moment, the waiter approached with the alcohol.
Ning Yuya slid her the gla.s.s of liquor and said, “It’s just a gla.s.s of liquor. You’re not that stingy as to reject drinking with me, are you?”
Wen Xinya smiled and remained silent before picking up the liquor that was placed in thick gla.s.s. The light shone through the gla.s.s and the orange liquid, reflecting a gem-like clarity and glow. Brandy was a renowned type of Western liquor that had a unique, exquisite and fragrant taste that was to the liking of numerous avid fans.
Ning Yuya frowned slightly and stared as Wen Xinya held the gla.s.s of liquor up in her hands. At this moment, she felt like Wen Xinya was mysterious and unpredictable.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Yuya’s face who was blurred by the layer of gla.s.s. “Miss Ning, what’s your purpose for treating me to drinks? Just get straight to the point! Your att.i.tude is making me feel like you’re trying to bury the hatchet with me over a gla.s.s of liquor.”
Ning Yuya was just thinking about how she should answer.
To her surprise, Wen Xinya slammed the gla.s.s down on the table with a loud and crisp sound which broke the silence in the bar. She continued, “However, that’d be impossible.”
Ning Yuya snorted with laughter and stared at Wen Xinya coldly. “You’re right. That’s impossible.”
Wen Xinya smirked menacingly and said, “So… I think that you have a hidden agenda.” She swirled the gla.s.s of liquor and asked nonchalantly, “Miss Ning, am I right?”
Ning Yuya’s expression changed, though the dim lights allowed her resentment to remain concealed.
