“A-Are your legs cured?” Zi Beiying asked.“Yeah, they’re fine now.” K smiled. He felt lucky every time he thought of his legs.

“Who did that for you?” Zi Beiying asked again with curiosity, because she knew that K had tried many times in vain. The person who had cured K’s legs must be the best doctor in this world.

Hearing that, K gave Gu Ning a glance, because he didn’t know whether he could tell the truth or not.

Zi Beiying noticed that, and remembered what Gu Ning had done for her father. “Oh, it’s Gu Ning, right?” she said.

K was struck dumb for a second. He was surprised that Zi Beiying got the answer at once.

“Yes, it’s me,” Gu Ning said.

“Since it’s you, it’s not too much of a shock.” Zi Beiying wasn’t shocked anymore after hearing Gu Ning’s answer. She knew how unbelievable Gu Ning was.

K soon realized that Zi Beiying was also aware of Gu Ning’s outstanding ability.

“Alright, you can go deal with your business now,” Gu Ning said.

“Great, see you,” K said and left.

Shortly after K walked away, Chen Cangyi showed up. He heard their voices from his office, so he went out to welcome Gu Ning.

“Nice to see you again, boss,” Chen Cangyi said, then he greeted Zi Beiying and her two bodyguards. “Hi, nice to meet you all.”

He didn’t know Zi Beiying and her two bodyguards, so he didn’t greet them by name.

“Nice to meet you too,” Zi Beiying said.

“This is the president of my corporation, Chen Cangyi. They’re my friends, Zi Beiying, Mengda and Nan.” Gu Ning introduced them to each other.

“I just came to give my friends a tour, so you can focus on your own work,” Gu Ning said.

“Sure.” Chen Cangyi was indeed very busy with his work now because Gu Ning’s corporation was about to be officially established.

After that, Gu Ning went to the 18th floor with Zi Beiying and the others.

There was a tea set in the room and Zi Beiying asked Gu Ning, “Can I prepare the tea myself?”

Zi Beiying liked drinking tea, and she had learned many skills of a tea ceremony.

“Of course you can,” Gu Ning said.

Zi Beiying picked up the Yixing clay teapot. Although it looked a little old it was very smooth, and the texture was very good. Zi Beiying asked, “Gu Ning, is this a real antique?”

“Yeah,” Gu Ning said. It was the most valuable Yixing clay teapot she had bought till now.

Knowing that, Zi Beiying decided to be very cautious, this antique was unique after all.

After the water boiled, Zi Beiying began to make tea.

First of all, she had to wash the tea set with boiling water. Afterwards, she put tea in the teapot and poured boiling water inside.

She waited for a short while before she poured the tea into the fair mug. For the clarity of the tea, she put the tea strainer on the fair mug to filter the tea residue.

In the end, she poured the tea into teacups.

Gu Ning didn’t know much about the art of tea, but she could see that Zi Beiying had received professional training before.

“Have a taste.” Zi Beiying gave the first teacup to Gu Ning, then poured cups of tea for Mengda and Nan too. Even though Mengda and Nan were Zi Beiying’s bodyguards, Zi Beiying treated them as if they were members of her family.

Gu Ning raised the teacup and had a sip of the tea.

When the tea just entered her mouth, it tasted a little bitter, but it had a sweet refreshing aftertaste once it slowly penetrated into her throat.

“Wow, this is good,” Gu Ning said.

“Ha-ha, I like drinking tea, and I’ve learned the skills too. I often make the tea at home when I’m free. My dad always says that I steal the tea artist’s work,” Zi Beiying said with a broad smile.

“Not only have you stolen the tea artist’s work, but Master Zi and Lord Zi also have a higher standard of tea now,” Nan said.

They chatted with each other in a relaxed atmosphere.

When they were enjoying the tea for the third round, Gu Ning received Xu Qinyin’s call.

She told them to stay in her office, and she left to meet Xu Qinyin.

It was still early, so they were going to rest in her office for a while before they went to dine together.

…

However, the second Xu Qinyin hung up the call with Gu Ning, she saw a familiar face.

“Qinyin?” A male voice called Xu Qinyin with uncertainty. Xu Qinyin turned around, but looked displeased when she saw the man.

He was a handsome 25-year-old man in a formal suit.

Although Xu Qinyin was reluctant to see him, she still greeted him because of her good manners. “Hi, nice to see you.”

The man’s name was Shen Baixiang. He had studied in the same college as Xu Qinyin before. He was also universally-acknowledged as the best looking man in their school. Xu Qinyin had confessed her love for him, but he had turned her down.

It wasn’t a big deal that he had rejected her, because she couldn’t force him to love her, and she accepted the result. However, she learned later that Shen Baixiang rejected her because he thought that her family background was too ordinary.

Xu Qinyin kept a low profile on purpose, so her schoolmates all believed that she was an ordinary girl.

The Shen family was a rich family in the capital, so Shen Baixiang would marry someone from a family of equal social status to his. That was his and his family’s plan. He wouldn’t marry an ordinary girl, because it wasn’t helpful for his family’s business.

Shen Baixiang had no idea about Xu Qinyin’s real family background, because they lost touch with each other after graduation.
