It was late, and so, everyone headed home .
As they were leaving the club, Ning Meng glanced at Huo Beichen . He seemed to be quite composed, so she thought that she was overthinking . While the few of them were heading toward the basement carpark, Qi Shan seized the opportunity to move closer to Huo Beichen’s side, wanting to gain some merits for himself .
“Boss, the arrangement for tonight’s horror film was not too bad, right? The three ladies are definitely afraid now, you can use this chance to bring the missus home . ”
When Huo Beichen heard this, his walking pace slowed down . He glanced faintly at Qi Shan and lowered his head to adjust his cuffs, not saying a single word . Qi Shan thought that he had succeeded and tried his luck . “So, the two months of training… Boss, maybe you could…”
“Hmm . ” Huo Beichen nodded .
Qi Shan smiled . “Hey, don’t need to abolish the two months of training . Just discount one month for me . ”
Huo Beichen replied, “Oh . Then make it one month . ”
Qi Shan’s eyes gleamed with excitement, but Huo Beichen continued, “I see that you’re quite free . Stay for another month . ”
Qi Shan was about to burst into tears as he looked at Su Ye and asked, “What’s going on here?”
Su Ye glanced at the graceful Ning Meng . She was talking to Li Shiyao in a soft voice, and he smiled bitterly .
“I think our surprise was not very successful . The missus was not scared at all . ”
It was true that Ning Meng was not scared . When watching the movie, there had been some fear, but she only felt excitement after the movie . She was talking to Li Shiyao . “Let me send you home . ”
Li Shiyao waved to decline the offer . “There’s no need . ”
Fei Bai came over . “Then, I’ll send you home?”
Li Shiyao froze up when she heard this . She immediately went straight to Zhen Shanmei’s side and held onto the latter’s arm . “Mei Mei, will you send me home?”
Zhen Shanmei was still feeling fearful, but since there would be someone accompanying her now, she nodded . They then both quickly got into the car and left immediately . Fei Bai looked at the rear of the car which was at quite a distance by now and curiously asked Su Ye, “Is she not afraid of ghosts?”
Su Ye pursed his lips and told him the grim reality . “It’s quite obvious that she is more afraid of you as compared to ghosts . ”
Qi Shan, Su Ye, and Fei Bai had so much fun that they did not stop walking, leaving the place immediately . After the three stooges had left, Ning Meng then noticed Huo Beichen . The basement carpark had poor lighting and was dimly lit, and he stood there with his big stature . She could not tell if there was anything amiss, but he was holding his chin high, not saying a word .
Ning Meng waved . “I’ll guess I’ll head home?”
Huo Beichen coughed . “Tonight’s movie…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Ning Meng excitedly cut in . “It was not thrilling enough . We need to watch something scarier!”
“…Okay . ”
“I’m really going, now?”
Huo Beichen nodded .
Ning Meng turned her head and took two steps . Then, she turned around abruptly to scare him .
“Boo!”
The man went stiff but did not show any other expression . Seeing the playfulness in her eyes, he knew that she was teasing him .
Still as spoilt as always…
Ning Meng was surprised . “You’re really not scared?”
The man held his chin up, and in order to defend his honor, he nodded once again .
“Okay, then . Goodbye!”
He watched Ning Meng getting into her car before walking toward his Cadillac . He stopped after a few steps, suddenly lowering his head and chuckling slightly .
Ning Meng was about to turn on her engine when she heard a knock on her car window . She wound the window down and saw him standing there with a faint smile .
“I admit that I am a bit scared . So, can I spend the night at yours today?”
