Chapter 475 Do you want to have a drink together?
Chapter 475 Do you want to have a drink together?
The neon lights of the city bloom in the sky like gorgeous fireworks.
Jiang Ning's steps were light and firm, and her mood was like the night, complex and peaceful.
Her figure under the light of the street lamp appeared particularly slender and strong.
At this moment, a limited edition Porsche stopped silently behind her. The lines of the car body looked more smooth and elegant against the night sky.
The car door slowly opened, revealing Gu Yuan's familiar and warm smile.
"Beauty, don't you feel lonely walking alone so late? Do you want to have a drink together to celebrate our little victory today?"
Gu Yuan's voice was somewhat teasing, but it contained a sincere invitation.
Jiang Ning turned around, and the moment his eyes fell on Gu Yuan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
His appearance seemed like a bright color in this quiet night, bringing people a feeling of warmth and security.
She shook her head slightly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone:
"Master Gu, are you trying to flirt with me?"
Gu Yuan deliberately showed a surprised expression, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Oh? Isn't my intention obvious enough? Well, let me be more formal. Miss Jiang Ning, would you be honored to have a drink with me and share the joy of victory?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled even more happily.
She smiled slightly, sat in the passenger seat gracefully, and replied:
"Since you've extended your invitation so sincerely, I'll reluctantly accept it."
Gu Yuan closed the car door and started the engine. The Porsche galloped away into the night like a wild horse.
The scenery outside the car window was rapidly receding. Jiang Ning felt the whistling of the wind and the excitement brought by the speed. The haze in his heart seemed to be blown away a lot.
They came to a bar with a unique style. There was a retro sign hanging at the door and a faint yellow light shining through.
The interior of the bar is full of artistic atmosphere, with various paintings hanging on the walls and an old-fashioned record player in the corner playing melodious jazz music.
The two found a seat by the window and sat down. The waiter quickly brought them drinks.
Jiang Ning raised his glass and smiled at Gu Yuan:
"Cheers to us, and to all those who persevere."
Gu Yuan also raised his glass in response, and the two glasses touched lightly, making a crisp sound.
In this warm and relaxed atmosphere, they talked about their future plans and expectations for life, and the distance between them became closer at this moment.
Gu Yuan would pour wine for Jiang Ning from time to time, carefully asking about her taste to ensure that she could enjoy the drink that was most suitable for her.
Jiang Ning would also amuse Gu Yuan with humorous words from time to time, and the interaction between the two was full of laughter.
Perhaps because they were chatting too happily, Jiang Ning accidentally spilled wine on her hands. Gu Yuan immediately handed her a tissue and carefully helped her wipe it clean.
At that moment, their fingers accidentally touched.
It was as if an electric current was passing between the two of them, causing their heartbeats to speed up a bit.
The number of customers in the bar gradually decreased, and only their conversations and music were intertwined in the air.
Jiang Ning felt an unprecedented sense of relief and satisfaction. She knew that no matter how many challenges awaited her in the future, as long as she had someone like Gu Yuan by her side, she would have unlimited courage and strength to face them.
Under the soft lights of the bar, Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan sat opposite each other, the amber liquid in their glasses glowing alluringly under the lights.
"Just now on the red carpet, you were the center of attention, shining brightly."
Gu Yuan started the conversation first, his tone full of sincere admiration.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, but then her brows involuntarily frowned:
"Although it seems so glorious on the surface, you know what? The moment I accidentally caught a glimpse of Meng Ze, my heart seemed to be tugged at. It felt like time was going backwards, and all the shadows enveloped me again."
Gu Yuan gently put down the wine glass, his eyes were firm and warm, as if they could penetrate all the haze.
"Jiang Ning, I know that those past experiences have had a profound impact on you, but you are no longer the little girl who was powerless to resist. You have the ability to face all of this, and you have done better than anyone else."
Jiang Ning took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil:
"Yes, I have been working hard. But sometimes, I am still haunted by those memories. They are like ghosts lurking in the dark, ready to jump out and scare me at any time."
Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and gently covered the back of Jiang Ning's hand, giving her silent comfort:
"Don't be afraid, and don't run away. Every time you face the past bravely, you are paving a path to a new life for yourself. I believe that you are ready to meet new challenges."
Jiang Ning felt the warmth from Gu Yuan's palm, and her mood gradually calmed down.
She nodded, with a determined light in her eyes:
"You're right, Gu Yuan. I can't let the past constrain me anymore. I want to use my own strength to create my own future."
Gu Yuan smiled, picked up the wine glass, and clinked glasses with Jiang Ning again:
"Then let us drink to your future, to your courage and your determination."
The two looked at each other and drank the wine in one gulp.
In this warm and private space, they talked about a lot of things, from work challenges to personal growth insights, to their aspirations and plans for the future.
Gu Yuan always listens patiently and gives advice and support when appropriate.
With Gu Yuan's encouragement, Jiang Ning gradually opened his heart and shared his innermost thoughts and dreams.
As time went on, the music in the bar became more soothing and the customers left one after another, leaving only Jiang Ning and Gu Yuan still there.
Their topic also turned from serious work to light-hearted trivialities of life, and they even started to joke around. The atmosphere between them became more intimate and natural.
When it was late at night, Gu Yuan suggested sending Jiang Ning home.
On the way out of the bar, Jiang Ning felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and satisfaction.
No matter how many challenges await her in the future, as long as she has friends like Gu Yuan by her side, she will have unlimited courage and strength to face them.
Under the witness of moonlight, they ended this wonderful night.
Gu Yuan drove home with Jiang Ning. The Porsche drew an elegant arc in the night and then disappeared in the distance in a flash.
Jiang Ning's heart was also filled with deep gratitude and warm memories.
At that moment, she realized that Gu Yuan was not only her relative, but also an indispensable part of her life.
And this emotion will accompany them towards a brighter future.
