An hour later, Zhu Fei and the others were basically finished with their dinner, so he took the lead in bidding farewell to Lan Pinghai and the others.
Lan Pinghai didn’t insist on them staying longer but smiled and nodded in agreent, "Alright, Mr. Zhu, if you have ti in the future, rember to visit my house."
"Sure, I will," Zhu Fei replied with a smile.
"By the way, Zhu Fei, do you need a ride?"
At that mont, Tang Yueming spoke up as he looked at Zhu Fei with a polite inquiry.
Zhu Fei glanced at the two won beside him, saw them lightly shaking their heads, and then smiled back at Tang Yueming, "Thank you, Uncle Tang, but it’s not necessary; it’s not too far from here to our place."
"Brother Lan, Uncle Tang, Director Gu, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be going then."
"Alright then, oh, by the way, Zhu Fei, if you are free tomorrow, rember to co to Uncle’s house for a al."
As Zhu Fei and the others were about to step out the door, Tang Yueming finally rembered this and couldn’t help but ntion it.
Hearing this, Zhu Fei knew it was hard to refuse, so he simply nodded and agreed, then he walked out of the private room with the two won.
Having left the Lan City Hotel, Zhu Fei and his companions did not call a taxi; instead, they just slowly strolled along the streets on both sides.
Tang ngyun was on Zhu Fei’s left, while Pan Tingting was on his right; inhaling the natural, faint fragrances from the won, Zhu Fei’s mood at that mont suddenly beca exceptionally serene.
The night sky, dotted with stars, reflected their figures, creating an especially harmonious scene.
...
"By the way, Tingting, after the college entrance exams, are you really planning to go to the United States for your studies?"
After walking for a while, Zhu Fei finally initiated the conversation, turning his head to look at Pan Tingting.
"Yeah, I probably will."
Slightly startled by Zhu Fei’s question, Pan Tingting nodded and responded:
"Over the years, all of my living expenses have been supported by my mother’s good friend Aunt Yun. She invited to study in the United States, and besides giving an education, she probably also intends for to take over my parents’ company."
"Zhu Fei, ngyun, this ti, I’m afraid I won’t be able to go to university with you."
Pan Tingting spoke with a rare hint of sadness on her face.
"Your parents’ company?"
Upon hearing Pan Tingting’s words, both Zhu Fei and Tang ngyun were surprised.
Neither of them knew about Pan Tingting’s situation, and all they knew was that she was now alone in her family.
Although they had been puzzled about how Pan Tingting sustained her life on a daily basis,
such matters, if not brought up by Pan Tingting herself, were not easy for them as friends to inquire about.
Now it seed that Pan Tingting’s family was not just any ordinary family.
"Yes, actually, my parents were Arican citizens of Chinese descent. They had their own company in the United States, where Aunt Yun was the biggest shareholder besides my parents."
Pan Tingting shook her head bitterly and continued, "However, after my parents t with misfortune, Aunt Yun temporarily took over the affairs there. Now that she has invited over, she probably intends to train ."
"Hehe, let’s not talk about this," Pan Tingting said with a laugh, shaking her head and turning to Zhu Fei and Tang ngyun, "What about you two? What are your plans after the college entrance exams? Are you planning to attend the sa university?"
Pan Tingting’s words had barely fallen when Tang ngyun, standing next to Zhu Fei, couldn’t help but blush.
"Hmph! Who wants to go to college with this guy? Tingting, don’t talk nonsense—I don’t want to be with him at all."
Although Tang ngyun’s words were haughty, her beautiful eyes were clearly fixed on Zhu Fei, revealing a distinct hint of nervousness and unease.
Zhu Fei touched his nose and managed a bitter smile, "We’ll see. Who can really predict the future?"
It wasn’t that Zhu Fei didn’t want to discuss this matter, but he considered Pan Tingting’s feelings.
Their relationship at the mont was indeed complex.
To call each other lovers seed premature, yet saying they were rely friends fell short, as their interactions had clearly exceeded that boundary.
What’s more, Zhu Fei had pretty much seen everything of both girls.
To say that Zhu Fei had no other intentions toward the two won would obviously be a lie; Zhu Fei was a man who neither deceived himself nor avoided the truth.
Feelings, to Zhu Fei, were either present or not; he neither denied nor scorned them.
However, given the current situation of the trio, Zhu Fei couldn’t fully determine it yet, so for now, he could only define it as a relationship short of lovers.
In such a complex situation, if he were to express his thoughts in front of Pan Tingting, it would undoubtedly make her feel disappointed and even sad.
Thus, for now, he could only respond to Pan Tingting’s earlier question with an equally ambiguous answer.
At that mont, Tang ngyun too seed to understand the situation, although she wasn’t as perceptive as Zhu Fei had thought.
She simply believed that at this ti, it wasn’t quite suitable for Zhu Fei to make any promises.
After all, she and Pan Tingting had been best friends for many years, and Zhu Fei had undeniably beco part of both of their lives.
Discussing such matters when Pan Tingting was about to leave might make her feel lonelier in the future.
So the next mont, Tang ngyun had bypassed Zhu Fei, ca to Pan Tingting’s side, took her arm, and laughed:
"Tingting, what Zhu Fei just said is right. We’ll talk about the future later. Besides, even if you go to the United States, we can still keep in touch."
"Speaking of which, I’ve never visited the United States. Soday, I must go and have a great ti, and then, you’ll have to be my guide."
Tang ngyun chuckled, while Pan Tingting inwardly rolled her eyes slightly.
She knew her best friend had a naive charm, but at a ti like this, she still hadn’t grasped certain things, which honestly made her smile bitterly.
Then, Pan Tingting smiled and nodded, before suddenly turning to Zhu Fei with a slightly threatening tone:
"Zhu Fei, when I’m not around ngyun, you better not bully her, nor let anyone else bully her, or I won’t let you off."
Pan Tingting’s words instantly made Zhu Fei’s head spin.
Damn, it seed like this miss always acted high and mighty in front of him—bullying her? Her not throwing a tantrum in front of him was already quite good.
Seeing Zhu Fei’s innocent look at that mont, both Pan Tingting and Tang ngyun couldn’t help but laugh out.
This laughter seed to deepen the relationship among the three slightly more.
...
So ti later, as the three of them were about to reach the Haihua District, Tang ngyun and Pan Tingting suddenly turned together and said to Zhu Fei:
"Zhu Fei, why don’t you stay over at our place tonight?"
