Ning Anlan subconsciously looked towards the ancient city, hoping that he could save her. However, she didn't expect the ancient city acted as if it didn't see anything and turned its head away.

Currently, Ning Anlan was gnashing his teeth in hatred. He could only run his brain rapidly to see what he could say to make Gu Hua Xi accept.

"We got to know each other at the banquet. Afterwards, we felt that everything was very suitable, so we ended up together."

Ning Anlan thought about it, then decided to continue speaking. She really wouldn't lie to him, so she could only say so. Besides, she wasn't lying to him, it was just that she didn't say it in detail.

She and Ancient City met at a banquet, and then they were together because they felt that it was appropriate to work together.

Her parents didn't force her to marry, so no matter if it was the Gu family or the Ning family, they all felt that they were in a free love relationship.

Therefore, Gu Hua Xi's expression was quite dejected when she heard Ning An Lan's words, because Ning An Lan's words obviously hadn't what she'd expected.

In her imagination, it was truly romantic, especially with the appearance of the ancient city and Ning Anlan. They had really given people a lot of imagination and held great hope for the relationship between the ancient city and Ning Anlan.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Therefore, after hearing Ning Anlan's flat words, the huge gap made Gu Hua Xi feel very dispirited.

"Oh …" "So it's like that …" He seemed to have lost his interest. However, this expression only lasted for a second or two. Two seconds later, she suddenly became very excited again.

"Then is there anything between you guys that's particularly unforgettable? For example, did Ah Cheng give you any surprises?" Gu Hua Xi asked, making Ning An Lan even more embarrassed.

She knew that Guhuaxi wanted to hear about the romance between them, but there really wasn't anything romantic between them. Moreover, how could the ancient city give her a surprise? It would be good enough if it didn't give her a fright.

At the same time, Ning Anlan glared fiercely at the ancient city. It was all his fault for leaving Gu Hua Xi to her. She really didn't know how to answer Gu Hua Xi's question.

"No way …" After Ning Anlan finished speaking, he gave it some serious thought and confirmed that there were no romantic surprises.

To be honest, the fact that the ancient city had cheated on her a few times was a pleasant surprise to Ning Anlan.

Gu Hua Xi's face immediately darkened when she heard Ning An Lan's words. She frowned as if she was angry.

Ning Anlan didn't know what had happened to her all of a sudden, or why her mood had changed so much.

Even though he felt that it was impossible, Ning Anlan really hoped that Guhua didn't get angry because there was no romance going on between them.

She was just about to ask whether she had angered Gu Hua Xi when she saw Gu Hua Xi suddenly turn his head and stare at the ancient city.

Sensing Gu Hua Xi's gaze, the ancient city turned around with a face full of bewilderment.

"You're really too much. It's one thing for you to be usually cold and aloof, but you said that this little girl was in love with you. How can you not create surprises for her?" Gu Hua Xi was slightly angry and directly rushed to the ancient city's side.

Seeing Gu Hua Xi talking about the ancient city, Ning An Lan almost laughed out loud. She finally saw someone who could talk about the ancient city, someone who made him look like he was the supreme existence in the world.

Gu Hua Xi talked about the ancient city for a while. Ning An Lan felt that Gu Hua Xi had vented her resentment on her behalf.

Not long after, Gu Hua Xi came back, looking at Ning An Lan with a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

"It's so hard on you, child. Ah Cheng is really too old-fashioned. He has been like this since he was young, and has never been in a relationship before. He really doesn't know how to make love, nor do he like girls." As Gu Hua Xi spoke, he sighed. He seemed to feel that he had especially let Ning An Lan down.

Ning Anlan truly didn't think that was important, because she and the ancient city only cooperated together. As long as the ancient city didn't suddenly end their cooperation, Ning Anlan wouldn't care.

"It's okay, I don't care about that." Ning Anlan spoke the truth. He only wanted Gu Hua to not pay too much attention to these matters. In fact, these matters weren't important at all.

"How can I do that? Ah Cheng is really going too far. In order to make it up to you, let me tell you a few things about Ah Cheng when he was young." He obviously didn't want the ancient city to know about this, so he sneakily glanced at the ancient city to ensure that it didn't pay attention to him.

"Huh?" Ning Anlan was stunned for a moment. The ancient city was a child, right? Perhaps we could listen to it. When everyone was young, there would always be some embarrassing things. The ancient city shouldn't be an exception.

"Are you listening or not?" Gu Hua smiled and already harboured some ill intentions. It seemed that she really wanted to finish the Black City today.

"…" Ning Anlan pursed her lips. She really wanted to hear it, but she wasn't sure if Ancient City wouldn't do anything to her after finding out about his embarrassing events. She was sure that Ning Anlan didn't want to cause her any trouble.

"Let me tell you …" It was obvious that Gu Hua Xi didn't care whether Ning An Lan wanted to hear it or not. In short, she really wanted to talk about it right now. Ning An Lan sighed.

Soon, it was time for dinner. Gu Hua Xi reluctantly let go of Ning An Lan and didn't continue speaking.

However, after the meal, Gu Hua Xi still wanted to tell Ning An Lan something, but before she could say anything, Old Master Gu called Ning An Lan over.

Gu Hua Xi was a bit unhappy, but it was Old Man Gu who'd told Ning An Lan to leave, so she couldn't say anything.

Ning Anlan was a little frightened when Old Master Gu called her. Although he didn't express any dislike towards her the last time they came here, Ning Anlan still felt that he would be able to suppress her in front of Old Master Gu.

After all, Old Man Gu had been in the mall for so many years, and had seen so much in his life, that Ning Anlan couldn't compare to him. Although Ning Anlan had just returned from a rebirth, he also felt that Old Master Gu's aura wasn't something an ordinary person could compare to, so, rather than chatting with him, she would rather listen to what happened in the ancient city when she was young.

"Sit down." Seeing how cautious Ning Anlan was, Old Master Gu pointed at the study room's sofa and said.

"Thank you, Old Master." Ning Anlan hid his meaning and chose a more suitable title. He didn't expect Old Man Gu to be unhappy at the time.
