"I don't care. I know my sister likes you. Anyway, I will only recognize you as my brother-in-law in my life."
Although Qiao Zhenyu's illness was under control, he still talked as willfully as before without thinking.
Ding Ning was speechless. "Is this guy crazy?" To be honest, if Qiao Zhenyu said that Qiao Qiao liked him in the past, he might be complacent, but now …
He felt that he had enough confidantes and would never be narcissistic to get into love debts. He had always been a responsible man. Even if he was the best scumbag, there should be a limit.
Thinking of the ponytail girl who was as pure as a little white flower, it was impossible to say that he had no regrets. After all, she was the first girl he had fallen in love with in his life.
But it was just a little regret. There was no extra thought, and it did not affect his state of mind too much.
He did not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, so there was no need to find ways to make Qiao Qiao his woman in order to satisfy his first love plot to complete his life.
Nine out of ten people's lives were not what they wanted. Occasionally recalling the pure feelings in his youth and the faint regret could make the confusion in his adolescence more precious and lasting.
Well, in fact, it was all nonsense. To put it bluntly, in addition to not wanting to get into love debts, Ding Ning was more concerned about his self-esteem. As soon as he thought of Qiao Yuhan's face and Qiao Qiao's deception, he would have a desire for revenge.
"Today you look down on me, tomorrow I will make you unworthy. What's more, the little white flower living in his heart was called Bai Qinglian, not Qiao Qiao."
"Well, don't talk about it anymore. If there's nothing else, you can go back."
Ding Ning was displeased and directly asked him to leave with a straight face.
"Sister … my sister really likes you."
As soon as Ding Ning got angry, Qiao Zhenyu inexplicably had a sense of fear. His voice became weaker and weaker, and his face was full of uneasiness and fear.
"Likes? Haha, if she really likes me, let her say it herself. "
Ding Ning sneered and said harshly. He did not think that Qiao Qiao would really like him. In his heart, that woman was no longer the pure and flawless white lotus.
If she really liked him, how could she have lost all the news after graduation? How could she have never contacted him? But she only appeared when she asked him to cure Qiao Zhenyu?
Was it because of the pressure from Qiao Yuhan? This reason was indeed powerful and reasonable, but he did not agree with it.
If he liked someone, even if the whole world opposed him, he would not hesitate to fight against the whole world.
Qiao Zhenyu sighed and walked out dejectedly. Ding Ning sat on the sofa and did not even look at him.
He had a balance in his heart. After curing Qiao Qiao Qiao's illness, he knew that he had nothing to do with Qiao Qiu ''t.
"Brother-in-law, I know you don't like me calling you that, and I know you won't believe me no matter what I say. But let me tell you, whether you believe it or not, my sister really likes you. She has never forgotten you. She has always been waiting for you, waiting for you to become stronger, waiting for you to hold up the sky for her, to shield her from the wind and rain … That's all I have to say, do as you see fit."
Before opening the door, Qiao Zhenyu stopped. Without looking back, he said this in a slightly choked voice and resolutely opened the door and left.
Ding Ning lit a cigarette irritably and took a deep puff. Then, he sat there in a daze. He didn't move until the cigarette butt burned out and the long ash fell on the carpet.
Although he was very unwilling to admit it, he knew that Qiao Zhenyu's words before he left still disturbed his heart, making him feel as if there was an additional lead weight in his chest.
Regardless of whether it was Bai Qinglian or Jojo, that lonely little white flower would always unintentionally and easily disturb his thoughts, touching the softest part of his heart.
This was probably the first love complex, right? Ding Ning smiled bitterly in self-mockery. He shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts, but her figure kept appearing in his mind like a shadow, making him confused.
"Du du du!"
Luo Zhicheng knocked on the door again and interrupted his silence.
Someone came to visit again. Ding Ning was really not in the mood to meet people now. He just wanted to be in a daze and clear up his thoughts.
But before he refused, Ye Shulan and Shen Muyang directly broke in unceremoniously, so he had to cheer up and entertain the guests.
"You look so pale. Did you not have a good rest?"
No matter whether it was true or false, Ye Shulan's concerned greeting made Ding Ning feel a little better. "No, I had a good rest. Thank you for your concern, auntie."
Both sides avoided talking about what happened last night. Ding Ning forced a smile and chatted with them for a while. Seeing that he was absent-minded, Ye Shulan thought that he was too frightened, so she stood up and said goodbye sensibly.
After all, they came here just to go through the motions, and it was enough as long as they showed their courtesy. Otherwise, Ding Ning would feel that the Shen Family was heartless. Now that he had achieved his goal, it was unnecessary to stay.
When he saw them off, it was almost 11 o 'clock. After waiting for a while, Xiao Guo' er and Yagyuu Asamayu came back, and Ding Ning planned to take them out for dinner.
Huzi and others considerately called to greet him, but they did not come to accompany him, which was exactly what Ding Ning wanted.
But as soon as he went out, Bai Qing called him. "I'm waiting for you on the first floor of the Yan Jing Hotel. Let's have lunch together."
"When did you come to Yan Jing?"
Ding Ning asked in surprise.
"I arrived last night, otherwise I would have gone to help you."
Bai Qing said with a slight teasing tone.
Ding Ning chuckled. "Okay, I'll go down right away."
"Hey, isn't this Guo 'er?"
After meeting in the hall on the first floor, Bai Qing saw Xiao Guo 'er at a glance before he had time to greet Ding Ning, and said with some surprise.
"Hello, Brother Qing!"
Xiao Guo 'er greeted him politely, looking like a little adult, which made people laugh.
"Hello, Guo 'er. Come on, let me hug you."
Bai Qing squatted down with a smile and opened his arms, wanting to hug this happy person.
Xiao Guo 'er was very famous in the upper-class circle of Yan Jing. No matter what the relationship with the Xiao Family was, they all liked this lovely little girl from the bottom of their hearts, and even some families had told the Xiao Family in advance to reserve this future daughter-in-law.
"Humph, men and women should not touch each other. Brother Qing, don't try to take advantage of me."
Xiao Guo 'er hid behind Yagyuu Asamayu, showing her small head and looking at Bai Qing with vigilance.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone was amused and burst into laughter. "This little girl is so funny."
Bai Qing was not embarrassed but just grinned. If Xiao Guo 'er obediently let him hug her, she would not be Xiao Guo' er. This girl could always make people laugh.
"Fourth Brother, how many days will you stay in Yan Jing?"
Originally, Bai Qing did not take Old Master Bai's invitation seriously, but after finding that Luo Zhicheng always protected Ding Ning from a distance, he immediately changed his mind.
Luo Zhicheng knew him, and he also knew Luo Zhicheng. Naturally, he knew Luo Zhicheng's identity, but he did not expect that the big shots of the Central Agency would attach so much importance to Ding Ning that they even sent Luo Zhicheng to protect him.
Compared with other people who only knew Ding Ning on the surface, he had paid special attention to Ding Ning, whether it was the honorary professor of Ninghai University, the dean of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Anaesthesia, or even the Rice Bean Oral Solution.
Perhaps the only thing he did not know was that Ding Ning was now an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and had been met by the big shots in person.
Even so, Ding Ning's position in Bai Qing's mind had been raised to a higher level. He must be on good terms with such a person who had infinite possibilities in the future.
It could not be said that he was a profiteer, but it was the basic quality that an excellent child of a big family must have. Connections were indispensable in any country.
Therefore, Bai Qing soon made up his mind not only to mend the previous hostility between them, but also to invite him to his home and meet the old master.
Of course, there was also the idea of showing off his muscles. After all, although Ding Ning and he were sworn brothers, the friendship between them was still as indifferent as water.
If it had been before, he would have been very satisfied with this level of relationship, but after finding that Luo Zhicheng was personally responsible for his safety, he immediately changed his mind and was ready to go further with him.
"I should go back around the 9th. I have two younger sisters who will participate in the semi-final of the so-called Campus-star Competition on the 8th, and I will go to support them."
Ding Ning replied indifferently and did not think so much, thinking that Bai Qing just asked casually.
"Campus-star Competition?"
Bai Qing frowned slightly, but he did not make fun of Ding Ning for having so many younger sisters. He just knew more about the inside story of this Campus-star Competition.
"Yes, Campus-star Competition. My two younger sisters have entered the semi-final. They want to enter the entertainment circle, and I have no way to stop them."
Ding Ning was also very helpless about this. He did not want Ye Huan and her sister to enter the big dye vat of the entertainment circle, but they carried the dream of his mother, Sun Lanying, and he could not stop them.
"I will go with you at that time."
Bai Qing thought for a while and thought that this was also a good opportunity to improve his relationship with Ding Ning.
"You won't go back to Ninghai?"
Ding Ning looked at him strangely, not knowing why such a big boss would be interested in such a small competition.
"I can't go back for the time being. The 11th is the 100th birthday of my Old Master, and I can't go back until the birthday celebration."
Bai Qing explained casually.
Ding Ning suddenly understood and said, "Last time you said that the birthday of the elders in your family was the birthday of your Old Master."
"Yes, the birthday gift was prepared by you. By the way, my Old Master said this morning that he wanted to invite you to his home for a meal. When are you free?"
Bai Qing said in a seemingly casual manner.
Ding Ning frowned and did not answer immediately. Although he did not deliberately inquire about Bai Qing's family background, with his identity and status, his family was absolutely extraordinary.
"The Old Master of the Bai Family wants to see me? Why?
"Could it be …" Ding Ning quickly thought of a possibility. "Did Bai Qing sell his identity as the Master of the Divine Burin?"
Thinking of this, he looked a little uneasy. He tilted his head to look at Bai Qing and met his calm eyes.
Bai Qing was indeed a smart man. Seeing Ding Ning's somewhat unkind and questioning eyes, he immediately understood what he meant. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "In your heart, am I so tasteless? My mouth is sealed."
"That's good!"
Ding Ning believed that Bai Qing was not such a blabbermouth, otherwise his identity as the Master of the Divine Burin would have been leaked long ago.
"I don't know what the Old Master meant by that. It's just that when I was eating breakfast with him this morning, I saw the news about you. I casually said that you were my sworn brother, and the Old Master suddenly asked me to invite you home for a meal."
Bai Qing spread his hands innocently and explained patiently.
"Well, I won't go alone. The Old Master's birthday is on the 11th, right? I'll go back two days later and then go with you to celebrate the birthday."
