Chapter 521 This Is My Friend, Leng Shaoting
After they were in the plane, the woman flushed with embarrassment when she saw that Gu Man and them sat in the first class. Most of the people who could afford the first class were the rich but she had called them a bunch of bumpkins just then.
The plane slid along the runway. Gu Qing and Gu Man clasped each other’s hands nervously. When the plane finally took off into the sky they had a sense of weightlessness but it was acceptable. By the time that the plane flew steadily in the air, Gu Qing and Gu Man were already used to it.
Leng Shaoting arrived at the airport of City G at 8:30 am. He told Ai Weichen to prepare a car for him beforehand but to his surprise, Ai Weichen drove the car here in person.
“Why did you drive here in person?” Leng Shaoting asked with doubt because Ai Weichen would normally send his secretary to drive the car here.
Ai Weichen sighed heavily and said in a resigned tone, “I used it as an excuse to avoid a blind date.” Blind dates were really annoying.
He then looked to Leng Shaoting and joked. “Your name is really useful.”
“You’re 28 now and it’s time to get married,” Leng Shaoting said.
In the past, Leng Shaoting never talked about marriage, but now he was eagerly anticipating marrying Gu Ning. Unfortunately, Gu Ning was too young.
“My older brother is 30 now but he’s not married yet. I don’t need to rush!” Ai Weichen said airily but he seemed sad and lonely.
In fact, he also wanted to get married, but the woman he wanted to marry disliked him, and he couldn’t accept someone else so he had to stay single. Just like how the woman liked his older brother but his older brother disliked her.
Leng Shaoting didn’t say another word, because he understood that Ai Weichen was in a difficult situation, and it was his own personal affair.
Ai Weichen also didn’t continue this topic, because it was painful for him to speak about. “Oh, my older brother is home these days. If you have some free time, we can have a gathering. It has been a long time that we haven’t drunk together!”
“Sure. I’ll call you if I’m free,” Leng Shaoting said.
After that, Ai Weichen left.
What Ai Weichen didn’t know was that his older brother, Ai Weishun, actually spent a lot more time with Leng Shaoting than he did. Ai Weichen only knew that Ai Weishun was one of Leng Shaoting’s comrades in the army, but he didn’t know that Ai Weishun was also a member of the Red Flame and followed Leng Shaoting’s lead. Members in the Red Flame had to keep their identity a secret, so even their families had no idea about it.
Around nine am, the plane landed at the airport of City G.
Once Gu Ning turned her phone on, she saw Leng Shaoting’s message. He said that he was waiting for them at the arrival hall.
Gu Ning already told Gu Qing and Gu Man that she hired a private chauffeur to drive the car for them during the two days in City G.
Gu Man and Gu Qing didn’t think that it was a bad idea, but Gu Ning still worried, because Leng Shaoting was too handsome to be just a chauffeur. Moreover, Leng Shaoting was so cold and it could upset Gu Qing and Gu Man. Gu Ning didn’t want her family to have a bad impression of him.
After thinking for a while, she said to Gu Qing and Gu Man, “Mom, aunt, the private chauffeur is actually my friend. He’s a little cold and doesn’t like to smile or talk much. Please don’t mind him.”
“Of course not,” Gu Man and Gu Qing said.
In the arrival hall, Leng Shaoting was standing there waiting for Gu Ning and her family. Wherever he went he was always in the limelight, but he didn’t care about others’ glances because all he cared about now was Gu Ning’s presence.
Gu Ning and her family didn’t check in any baggage so they walked out quickly.
Once Gu Ning appeared, Leng Shaoting’s sight fell on her body and there was obvious love in his eyes.
Gu Ning noticed Leng Shaoting within a second, and gave him a warning look to tell him to keep their real relationship a secret.
Leng Shaoting understood that it wasn’t appropriate to let her family know that they were already in a relationship because Gu Ning was too young. Therefore, Leng Shaoting hid his love for Gu Ning immediately. However, he felt quite nervous when Gu Man walked to him, which was very unusual.
When Gu Ning, Gu Qing and Gu Man stopped in front of Leng Shaoting, Leng Shaoting put on a serious look and did his best to be easy-going.
Gu Qing and Gu Man, on the other hand, were stunned by his outstanding appearance. To their surprise, Gu Ning’s friend was an extremely handsome young man.
“Mom, aunt, please let me introduce you. This is my friend, Leng Shaoting; you can directly call him Shaoting,” Gu Ning said.
“Nice to meet you!” Leng Shaoting greeted Gu Man and Gu Qing.
Leng Shaoting tried to be easy-going but it didn’t seem very natural, because he was used to being cold and it wasn’t easy for him to change his personality right away. Luckily, Gu Ning had already explained his character to her family beforehand, so Gu Qing and Gu Man didn’t mind it at all. In addition, Leng Shaoting was very good-looking, so both Gu Qing and Gu Man had a good impression of him. “Nice to meet you too!”
Although Leng Shaoting understood that Gu Qing and Gu Man didn’t know that he was Gu Ning’s boyfriend yet, he felt happy when he noticed that they already had a good first impression of him. After all, you didn’t have a second chance to make a first impression.
In the beginning, Leng Shaoting was very confused about how to address Gu Qing and Gu Man, because he was Gu Qing’s boyfriend, but they weren’t familiar with him at all. Therefore, he decided to not address them for now, and he would directly call them his mother and aunt when they found out about his relationship with Gu Ning.
Gu Qing and Gu Man actually didn’t care about how Leng Shaoting addressed them.
“Let’s go now! The car is parked right outside,” Leng Shaoting said then guided them walking out.
The car that Ai Weichen drove here to pick them up with was a Land Rover, which was the least noticeable car in his eyes, but it was a luxury car in Gu Qing and Gu Man’s eyes.
