Chapter 175 Roses from Leng Shaoting Gu Ning understood why he came so early, but she thought that the number of the private room was funny. It couldn't be a coincidence. He must have arranged it on purpose. Gu Ning was surprised that Leng Shaoting was so romantic. The man was indeed trying his best to win her heart. Gu Ning was lucky to get in a taxi the minute she walked out, and the traffic wasn't heavy along the way. Thus she arrived at the restaurant at 6:40 pm. When a waiter came to welcome Gu Ning, he looked astonished to hear that Gu Ning had an appointment in the No. 520 private room. Leng Shaoting had caused a sensation when he had arrived. His muscular body, long legs and the extraordinarily handsome face were even more charming than a male idol or star's. He had reserved the No. 520 private room, and made some arrangements. It was obvious that he was going to dine with his girlfriend. They all believed that his girlfriend had to be super stunning and sexy, but unexpectedly, a young teenage girl came later. The teenage girl was beautiful, but was too young. They didn't seem like a couple at all! The waiter guided Gu Ning to the No. 520 private room before he left. Gu Ning went to knock on the door herself. However, just as she raised her hand, the door opened. Leng Shaoting heard Gu Ning's voice, so he went to open the door for her. His eyes met hers and neither of them knew what to say. At that moment, they only had each other in their eyes. Meanwhile, Gu Ning thought that she fell in love. No matter if it was because of his exterior or interior, Leng Shaoting touched her heart. Even though, she wasn't familiar with him. She only knew his name and that he was a military officer, and nothing else. They hadn't even talked much. Somehow, she trusted him and felt safe being with him. Leng Shaoting actually fell in love with the feelings he had when he was with her. He couldn't help missing her, caring about her and even having her. It was hard to explain why you fell in love with a particular person, but that was exactly when you found yourself in deep and unconditional love with them. "Come on in!" Leng Shaoting got his mind back first. He stepped aside to let Gu Ning in. Hearing Leng Shaoting's voice, Gu Ning finally realized that she was still standing at the door. She felt a little embarrassed, but calmed down immediately, walking inside. There was only a bottle of wine with two glasses and a menu on the table. Leng Shaoting pulled the chair out for Gu Ning. After she was seated, he went back to his seat handing the menu to Gu Ning. "Ladies first." Leng Shaoting suddenly behaved like a gentleman and Gu Ning was still not used to it yet. She took the menu, reading it. Leng Shaoting rang the service bell at the same time. Before long, a waiter came inside. Gu Ning ordered a medium-well Fillet steak with black pepper sauce. Leng Shaoting did the same. Then Gu Ning ordered a fruit pizza and fruit salad. When the waiter was gone, Leng Shaoting hesitated a little. It seemed like he planned to do something, but didn't know whether it was a good time. "What's wrong?" Gu Ning asked. She thought Leng Shaoting must have something else to deal with and had to leave earlier. "Um, I want to give you something. If you don't like it, please don't be mad," Leng Shaoting said with caution. "Oh." Gu Ning didn't expect that Leng Shaoting hesitated just because he didn't want to upset her. She was quiet surprised, but felt that it was interesting too. She wasn't a child who would get mad easily just because she received a gift she didn't like. Gu Ning was curious what kind of gift Leng Shaoting was going to give her. "Sure, I won't be mad," Gu Ning replied. Leng Shaoting was relieved. He stood up walking to the back and brought it out. However, when Gu Ning saw Leng Shaoting stepping back to her with dozens of red roses in his hands, she had mixed emotions. In her last incarnation, Qi Ziyue had always sent her roses with sweet nothings when he had chased her. It was all fake and she only felt that it disgusting and sarcastic. Gu Ning had hidden her hatred towards Qi Ziyue well nowadays, so she remained calm. And it would be unfair to Leng Shaoting, if she thought of Qi Ziyue now. Thus she forgot it right away. Leng Shaoting walked to Gu Ning. He flushed a little, and was very nervous, but said to Gu Ning with sincerity, "I heard that girls like roses, but I suppose not every girl like roses. Do you like it?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 "Of course!" Gu Ning answered. She grabbed the roses away from Leng Shaoting. Actually, most girls liked roses, especially when they were from a man that she liked. Leng Shaoting was cheered up to see Gu Ning being delighted. However, the next second, Leng Shaoting was anxious again. "Um, I bought two movie tickets. Can you go to watch the movie with me?" Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second. Movie tickets? She was more than surprised now. It seemed that Leng Shaoting had indeed done his homework! "Sure," Gu Ning agreed. Now, Leng Shaoting was finally relaxed. His face was alight with excitement. It wasn't a common thing to see pleasure on Leng Shaoting's face, but now he was like a boy before the girl that he liked. The fruit salad, steak and pizza were soon on the table. Leng Shaoting opened the bottle pouring a glass of wine for Gu Ning and himself. Although they didn't talk much, they dined together in harmony. After the meal, the two went to a movie theater. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting attracted a lot of attention, but people had different opinions towards them. As for Leng Shaoting, everyone was stunned and almost screamed as if they had met a super star, but most of them were jealous of Gu Ning. Although she was pretty, she was too young and seemed like a student. She didn't match Leng Shaoting at all. Some only thought so to themselves, but some said it aloud. Some were even gossiping about whether Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning were brother and sister. Gu Ning was upset to hear that. Am I that terrible? Leng Shaoting liked Gu Ning very much and he wouldn't allow others to judge her. He also felt that Gu Ning was unhappy, so he glanced at the people around them with a cold look. No one dared to say another word again. The man was handsome, but wasn't easy-going. Leng Shaoting's behavior touched Gu Ning. She stopped feeling sad then.
