Chapter 1657: Not a Cruel Man?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qi Tianlin was in a car at this moment, and Cheng Hua was the driver. Yu Hao sat on the front pa.s.senger’s seat, and he was surprised by his leader’s words. Since when did his leader change?
Actually, he only changed his behavior after meeting Gu Ning, because he had failed to treat her cruelly once before. Because Gu Ning aroused his interest and he even liked her, he became tolerant.
In fact, he used the excuse of asking for more pills to see Gu Ning, because they were leaving tomorrow.
“I don’t care what kind of man you really are, because it has nothing to do with me, but I can give you more pills when I’m free,” said Gu Ning.
She indeed had no interest in learning what kind of man Qi Tianlin was. However, since they were friends, she was very generous.
“Great, come to see me after dinner, and I can transfer the money to you right now. We’re leaving tomorrow morning, so you must be quick,” said Qi Tianlin.
“Sure,” said Gu Ning.
…
Jing Yunyao took out her notebook and the alb.u.m once she was back in her room, and she felt like crying once more.
She didn’t forget that she had to cook tonight, so she composed herself and went downstairs at 5:30 pm.
Gu Ning heard the sound of Jing Yunyao opening the door, so she walked out too.
Jing Yunyao didn’t wear a mask at home, so Gu Ning was able to see the scar which had slightly faded. She was surprised, then realized that it was the effect of her magical power.
Jing Yunyao noticed her reaction and asked with confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Um, mother, I…” Gu Ning didn’t know how to start the conversation.
“What happened?” asked Jing Yunyao.
“Well, because you just pa.s.sed out in the church, I helped you take a power crystal and the scar on your face has faded a little,” said Gu Ning. She couldn’t tell her that it was the effect of her magical power, so she made up a lie.
“What?” Jing Yunyao was surprised too. Without delay, she went to look at herself in the mirror.
She indeed found that the scar on her face had slightly faded. To her surprise, the power crystal was much more useful than she thought.
Because she was too surprised, it took her some time to accept it.
Gu Ning was anxious looking at Jing Yunyao so Jing Yunyao comforted her at once. “Don’t be worried about me. Of course I can’t blame you for that. I know that you helped me take a power crystal for my body, and I should thank you for that. Anyway, I already figured out who I am and who’s my enemy, so this scar isn’t very important.”
Jing Yunyao had no intention to blame Gu Ning, although she kept the scar to remind herself not to give up on taking revenge. She had already learned what she needed to know right now, so it didn’t matter even if the scar disappeared.
Gu Ning relaxed when she realised that Jing Yunyao really didn’t care about it. It wasn’t a big thing, but Gu Ning thought that she should still apologize to Jing Yunyao.
“I’m sorry for that, and I can help you completely remove it if you don’t need it now,” said Gu Ning.
“Sure, but we should cook first,” said Jing Yunyao with a smile.
After that, they went to cook together. Although they decided to have a big good meal, they didn’t cook much food because there were only two of them.
Jing Yunyao was a great cook, and a mouth-watering aroma soon came out of the kitchen. She had been a cook for over a dozen years, so she had confidence in her cooking skills.
After finis.h.i.+ng the seafood meal, Jing Yunyao wanted to wash the dishes by herself, but Gu Ning stopped her.
Gu Ning told her to have a rest and that she would wash the dishes. Jing Yunyao already cooked for her tonight, so she thought that she should do something too.
Since Gu Ning insisted, Jing Yunyao left to deal with the scar on her face. This time, she truly felt the great and unbelievable effect of Gu Nning’s power crystal, because as soon as the power crystal liquid touched the scar, it started to fade.
After Gu Ning washed the dishes, she went to chat with Jing Yunyao for a while in the living room.
When it was 8 pm, Gu Ning told Jing Yunyao that she needed to go outside to deal with something. If Jing Yunyao needed any help, she could call her.
Gu Ning gave Qi Tianlin a call when she left the house and found out that he was in the Huangdeng Hotel right now.
Gu Ning then told him to book a table in the café on the top floor of the hotel. They would meet there.
The café on the top floor of the Huangdeng Hotel was semi-outdoor, and most of the walls were gla.s.s so that people could see the beautiful view of the surroundings.
