After dinner, the two of them started dancing upstairs. Qiao Anlu had never imagined she would one day fall for Ning Zesheng; it felt like she was dreaming.
She looked up at him, seemingly realizing something, "Ah, so you said you’ve liked me for three years now. So, did you deliberately lure me into becoming your girlfriend?"
"So, you still think I didn’t pursue you, and you just became my girlfriend, losing out?"
"Didn’t you still have an engagement with Gu Xiyao at that time?" she said with some displeasure.
Ning Zesheng held her a little tighter, "My engagement with her has always been a family matter. We hardly... spoke to each other."
"I can imagine!" Qiao Anlu nodded. When she wasn’t familiar with Ning Zesheng, she barely heard him speak a few words.
Hearing her say that, Ning Zesheng found it amusing but nodded, resting his chin on her head, "Hmm, you’re the one I talk to the most."
"Even if you don’t talk to me, I will keep talking to you." Qiao Anlu giggled.
Indeed, it was because of this that his life had gained so much vitality.
"However, my brother Ning Zeyan seems to always have liked Gu Xiyao and is pursuing her now. To be honest, he was the one supposed to marry Gu Xiyao initially. But unfortunately, he injured his leg, and the Gu Family wasn’t willing, so I stepped in. That’s why I’m not even friends with Gu Xiyao." He spun her around, "Haven’t even danced with her."
"How could that be?! Don’t think you can fool me by thinking I’m gullible. You were engaged; didn’t you dance at the engagement ceremony?"
"I don’t like others touching me, except for you."
What he said warmed Qiao Anlu’s heart tremendously, "Isn’t that so? You don’t like others touching you but you like touching me, right? That’s why you’re holding me so tightly."
"Hmm."
Just as Qiao Anlu was enjoying herself, her phone rang suddenly.
"Don’t answer it," Ning Zesheng held her tighter.
"That’s my dad’s special ringtone," Qiao Anlu said dryly.
Only then did Ning Zesheng startle and release her. Qiao Anlu took quick steps to answer the call, "Hello, Dad, ah, you can’t hear?"
Ning Zesheng quickly turned off the music, and everything fell silent.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, nothing really. Your dear has just finished a shoot, very tired, and is resting now."
"Haven’t I told you many times to bring that Ning Zesheng over for a look? You start dating without telling your mom and me. Don’t think I’m unaware, that guy had a fiancée before, flirting outside, and his fiancée committed suicide because of him. If you insist on being with him, first bring him over to let us see him, I..."
"Dad, it’s not like that, I’m really tired, I’ll sleep first..."
"Your mom wants to talk to you too..."
Qiao Anlu quickly hung up the call and then switched off her phone, exhaling deeply.
Her phone voice was loud, and Ning Zesheng heard some of it from the side, "So, your father wants to see me?"
"No, he wants me to break up with you, saying you had a fiancée before and then..."
"Do you mind?" Ning Zesheng asked.
"Why would I mind something that didn’t happen. It would be strange if you did flirt." Qiao Anlu sighed.
Ning Zesheng hadn’t expected her to truly understand and believe him, so he couldn’t help pinching her cheek, "Then it’s all good. As for your parents, I’ll handle it."
