Ning Ran continued to refill Feng Minsheng’s glass, urging him to drink. He eventually passed out on the table.

Ning Ran left the restaurant with ease. As she stood at the side of the road, attempting to hail a cab back home, she was approached by black Jeep that seemed familiar.

As the jeep pulled over in front of her, she noticed Qiao Zhan in the driver’s seat. There was no one else in the car.

“Young Mistress, please get in the car,” said Qiao Zhan politely.

“Wow, you are still following me at this hour? I must say, I’m impressed,” Ning Ran mused.

“That’s nothing. Ensuring the safety of the Young Mistress is my job.”

That was a good choice of words – it was neither servile nor overbearing.

Im not following you as much as I was trying to protect you. Even if you think that I am stalking you, there is nothing that I could do about that.

Ning Ran understood the hidden meaning behind Qiao Zhan’s words, so she did not give the driver any trouble and got into the car immediately.

It was a free ride anyway.

“Where’s Nan Xing? I haven’t been able to contact him recently,” inquired Ning Ran.

“Young Master Xing went on a business trip to Europe. I was not filled in on what he is doing there nor when he will come back,” replied Qiao Zhan.

“Even if you knew, you wouldn’t tell me, would you, Captain Qiao?” Ning Ran chuckled.

“I would if I could, Young Mistress, but I honestly have no idea about his trip this time.”

“Fine, I get it.”

Ning Ran leaned back into her seat, intending to take a short nap.

“Sir Chen summoned me to his office,” Qiao Zhan suddenly piped up.

Ning Ran remained silent. She was curious as to where he was going with this conversation.

“Sir Chen brought you up,” Qiao Zhan continued.

He was hoping that Ning Ran would give him some kind of response. That way, it would be easier for him to transfer the message.
