But Feng Minsheng did not let go of Ning Ran. He continued holding her.
Ning Ran was furious! She stamped on his feet.
Feng Minsheng didn’t expect Ning Ran to do that. He was in so much pain that he had to let go of Ning Ran.
A guy next to Ning Ran cheered for her feisty attitude.
“Ranran, why did you…”
“Feng Minsheng, please do not call me Ranran. We are not in that kind of relationship.” Ning Ran threw those words at him mercilessly.
It was the first time they were meeting in many years, and yet he behaved in such a brusque manner. She was hugely disappointed in him.
It did not matter if he was genuine in his affections for her. She thought that he really went overboard.
The basis of affection should be respect for each other. No matter how much you love someone, you should still respect each other’s boundaries.
It was extremely satisfying for the surrounding crowd to witness the scene that just unfolded. Everyone cheered for Ning Ran’s feistiness.
Looking at the situation, Cheng Xiangyun tried to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Everyone should get seated. You guys haven’t seen each other for so long. You should have a proper catch up.”
After Ning Ran sat down, all the guys tried to sit close to her.
To prevent further clashes, Ning Ran chose to sit between two girls.
While they were catching up, it was revealed that Feng Minsheng was the one who had organized the class gathering. All the expenses were also borne by him.
The ladies were all curious about the current life of this former school hunk. They asked him all kinds of questions, such as about his work, his relationship status, etc.
Feng Minsheng told them that he was working for a foreign company and he was still single.
He sounded just like a typical eligible bachelor. The ladies got excited and all started adding him on WeChat.
Ning Ran was the only one who was not interested to talk to him. Neither did she ask to add his contact.
The main purpose of having a class gathering was not to catch up, but rather, a battle of each other’s achievements.
Ning Ran was bored after a while. She wanted to leave before the gathering ended.
Feng Minsheng stood up and said, “I’ll walk you out.”
“I don’t think there is a need for that.” Feeling the watchful eyes of the other ladies, Ning Ran rejected his offer immediately.
“I have something to tell you.” Feng Minsheng said in a gentle voice.
A mixture of cheers and jeers came from the crowd.
Ning Ran felt very awkward. She was worried that if this push and pull with Feng Minsheng carried on, he might end up saying more rude things.
Ning Ran agreed, thinking that he would at most only walk her to the door.
“Aunt, let’s go.”
Ning Ran shouted out to Cheng Xiangyun, seeing that she was still glued to her seat.
But Cheng Xiangyun did not want to leave yet. “You can go first; I want to stay a while more.”
Since she did not want to leave, Ning Ran left alone.
When they reached the door, Ning Ran waved at Feng Minsheng and said, “You should go back now. I’m leaving.”
“I don’t think I want to go back anymore. I’ll drive you home. Wait for me, I’ll go get the car.” Feng Minsheng said.
“You really don’t…”
“The reason I didn’t drink was because I wanted to drive you back. Please give me a chance.”
Ning Ran rejected him again. “There’s really no need for that. I can take a cab.”
“Please let me drive you back home. We haven’t seen each other for so long. Can’t you just let me drive you back this once? Just wait here. I’ll be back right away.” Feng Minsheng started walking towards his car while he said that.
Ning Ran did not wait for him. She walked straight to the main road and tried to flag a cab.
Unfortunately, there were no available cabs. The few that drove by all already had passengers.
