An Ning used the phone she was currently using to call Gu Ruoyun. Although she didn't know how many years had passed, she still hadn't changed her phone number.

"Hello? "Hello?"

Gu Ruoyun's somewhat puzzled voice sounded out from the other end of the phone, bringing with it a unique feeling of her voice ending in a rise. The people who heard it trembled, and half of their bodies seemed to have gone limp.

Gu Ruoyun was suspicious because the number was her private number. There were very few numbers she didn't recognize that called in, not to mention that this was a foreign phone number.

"Ruo Fei, it's me."

When An Ning said this, she felt a little guilty. She hadn't contacted Gu Ruoyun for so many years, would she still treat her as a friend? Would he just curse at himself and hang up?

"An Ning?!" Gu Ruoyun asked in disbelief.

As soon as she said that, An Ning's phone went a little further away. Even so, Gu Ruoyun's loud voice couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

"You finally know how to contact me!" Where have you been all these years? The phone is switched off all day and the rented apartment is gone. You just disappeared into thin air, and disappeared without a trace. I thought you were kidnapped by aliens! "

Initially, An Ning's face was filled with guilt when she heard Gu Ruoyun's scolding. She was just thinking about how to pacify her, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You're still laughing!"

Gu Ruoyun's voice rose once again, scaring An Ning so much that she hurriedly held back her laughter, agreeing one after another.

"I don't laugh, I don't laugh. A lot has happened over the years. How about this, do you have any business with me? I'll treat you to a meal in the afternoon, just treat it as an apology, okay? "

After a moment of silence, Gu Ruoyun had already calmed down from her initial surprise, and her voice was cold as she retorted.

"You sent me away with a meal? Do you know how worried I was about you when you disappeared? "You are actually so carefree abroad, and you even became the champion of BFA!"

"Then can I design you another dress? The world is unique, this is my apology gift! "

An Ning smiled as she talked about the 'conditions' with Gu Ruoyun. She knew that although Gu Ruoyun sounded like she was complaining, she was pretending to be doing it. Seeing that she had safely returned, Gu Ruoyun was actually quite happy.

"Un, that's more like it. In a while, just send me the time and place for dinner. An Ning will treat you to a meal. Even if I don't have time, I will still have to squeeze out some time!"

Hearing Gu Ruoyun's teasing, An Ning couldn't hold back her laughter. She felt very lucky that she had gotten to know Gu Ruoyun, and that she didn't even have a friend she could contact when she returned to Lin City.

"Alright."

After hanging up, he just so happened to be looking forward to picking up Tian Tian. Today, the two of them had made an appointment to go out and play together, which allowed An Ning to free up some time to go out for dinner with Gu Ruoyun.

After passing the time and place to Gu Ruoyun, An Ning stayed in the hotel by herself for a while before changing into a new set of clothes and rushing to the appointed place. This was also the first time since returning to Lin City that An Ning had gone out for a stroll.

It didn't seem like there was much of a change here. An Ning saw many familiar buildings and locations. Of course, there were also many places that didn't look like they were in the past, but their owners had already changed several times.

Gu Ruoyun was still as punctual as before, but the density of her bag seemed to be even more intense than before. The moment she entered the room, she began to take off her disguise layer by layer: a scarf, a hat, her eyes, and a mask.

Although Gu Ruoyun had become more and more famous in the past few years, her appearance hadn't changed at all. After taking off all the clothes she wore, Gu Ruoyun rushed up and hugged An Ning tightly.

"You're finally back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

An Ning returned the hug, her hand patting Gu Ruoyun's back soothingly.

She told Gu Ruoyun her general situation over the years, but there was actually nothing much to say. For the remaining three years, other than the award this year, An Ning didn't do anything else, she just took the kids and idled around the house everyday, occasionally drawing blueprints to earn some extra money.

Gu Ruoyun was somewhat shocked that An Ning had given birth to a child, but tactfully she didn't ask about it. Instead, she changed the topic to Ji Mingzhen.

"She has done a lot of lousy films in the past few years. With her acting skills that only know how to stare and pout, any good script that is given to her would only end up in the streets. Whether it is in the industry or among the public, all of it has been ruined and with her family's connections, she has even become a first-rate actress."

Gu Ruoyun's tone was filled with disdain when she mentioned Ji Mingzhen. The two of them had always been competitors. She had only been able to get to where she was because of her strength, while Ji Mingzhen had completely relied on her money.

In fact, the only person who An Ning really wanted to know about was Jiang Jia Han. Since Ji Mingzhen was mentioned, An Ning wanted to ask her and Jiang Jia Han how they had been doing in the past few years, if it was as she had guessed.

When she left that night three years ago, those anonymous messages had always been the pain in An Ning's heart. She couldn't understand how someone who had been sweet to her the day before was able to get entangled with another person in the blink of an eye. However, after hesitating for a long time, An Ning still didn't know how she should ask.

Gu Ruoyun was such a shrewd person, she could tell what An Ning was thinking from her expression, so she sneered.

"Did you want to ask Jiang Jian if he was with Ji Mingzhen? "Look at how good you are!"

A trace of awkwardness flashed across An Ning's face. However, Gu Ruoyun was only teasing her, she wasn't really mocking her. She didn't wait for An Ning to speak before she gave her explanation.

"Don't worry, all these years, Jiang Jia Han has been looking for you. At the beginning, it was quite a disturbance, but after coming to the city three times, he still couldn't find you, so he kept his formation. But he didn't give up, and even specifically called me to tell him that I had news."

Pausing for a moment, Gu Ruoyun raised her brows helplessly.

"But now that you've returned with such honor, I don't think I need to notify him anymore." Right, he and Ji Mingzhen were quite innocent, and nothing happened. Jiang Xiushan was even trying to keep a distance from Ji Mingzhen, so don't worry! "

Hearing Gu Ruoyun's words, An Ning actually didn't feel happy at all. Was Jiang Jia and Ji Ming really innocent? What about the photo three years ago? An Ning couldn't explain these things to Gu Ruoyun, so she could only nod to show that she understood.
