Our Glamorous Time

Chapter 55: Tricks Up His Sleeve

Lin Qian's goal when she left that morning was to conduct field observations at New Bori's flagship store.

It was frustrating to see that Sha Ying was selling like hotcakes.

As she was watching, she naturally got upset and enraged. Who would have expected at that moment, a gentle and clear voice would ring beside her ear, "Zero dollars."

What Lin Qian first saw under the bright sunlight was the man's long shadow cast next to her feet.

Tsk, such a small world.

Lin Qian turned her head to him, her face beaming, "Mr. Ning, what a coincidence."

Ning Weikai was calm today after all, smiling and teasing her, "It is not a coincidence, I deliberately followed you."

This statement made Lin Qian's facial expression freeze slightly. But her ability to read the atmosphere was not to be scoffed at. After carefully sizing up Ning Weikai's expression, she concluded that he was joking.

She laughed along, "You must be bored out of your mind then."

The interactions among human beings are quite interesting and strange. With some people, you naturally would be straight-faced and properly mannered; while with others, you just couldn't help but be bickering. Even having drifted apart after so many years, even though Ning Weikai had been in higher position of authority and was no longer a brat like he used to be, after this brief exchange, they fell into their old rhythm.

Her sharp tongue made Ning Weikai chuckle. He extended his hand to pat her head, "Come, let us go grab a drink." Lin Qian didn't fancy having any form of physical contact with him, so she quickly tilted her head to avoid his hand.

As for going for tea, she wanted to go. She saw Sha Ying as a thorn in her eye, and upon meeting Sha Ying's leader, how could she not take to opportunity to inquire a bit?

She nodded gladly. The two of them, each with their own axe to grind, slowly walked into a coffee house around the corner.

The story of Lin Qian and Ning Weikai could be traced back seven years. She had been in her Sophomore year; Ning Weikai had been in his Senior year.

At that time, what kind of man was Ning Weikai? Even though he was of humble origins, he was outstanding. He was handsome, gentle, kind, humorous and suave. He graduated at the top of his class from business school and had been recruited as a management trainee by a company on the Fortune 500 list prior graduated. He had everything that a male university student could ask for.

At the time, Lin Qian was participating in a business simulation competition where she got to know Ning Weikai and share a common group of friends. However, at that time she was more carefree, joining clubs and events at every opportunity. She only viewed Ning Weikai as a friend.

Then Ning Weikai confessed to her. He had his ways of courtship, not as forceful as Li Zhicheng, instead he was extremely tender and caring. Every morning, he would buy Lin Qian breakfast, take her to class, spend time studying with her in the afternoon, and get her water and buy her fruit at night.

He even wrote her love letters. His was a talented writer, no woman could remain unswayed after reading his sincere and tender words.

Lin Qian was touched too. At that age, Ning Weikai fulfilled all the requirements of a perfect boyfriend. Even though prior this Lin Qian said that they were just friends, she actually did have feelings for him.

As for him being poor? Lin Qian didn't care about this at all.

After being courted by Ning for more than a month, the two began dating. The first week they were together was quite sweet. The two had mutual hobbies; both of them liked to do things out of the box, and they were truly happy being together every day.
