Chapter 783: Untitled
Everybody laughed, and Xunuo’s tensed nerves were more relaxed now as her face became slightly red. Ye Ningyuan put down the glass of lemon water and said, “Hey, baby, talk to me nicely. See how everyone is laughing at us.”
His voice was not too loud or soft, but everybody heard him and started laughing again. Xunuo had the urge to smash the smile on his face. She gritted her teeth and sat down to calm herself down. She rarely got angry, but she had already been agitated a few times.
Ye Ningyuan smiled and looked at her. “Why are you so flustered?”
“How did you know about that island?” Xunuo asked solemnly.
“My auntie grew up on Spec-Ops Island and I went there with her as I was curious. We coincidentally encountered a seminar and I saw you there.” Ye Ningyuan looked composed, gentle, and elegant.
“Hmmph, you have so many coincidences.” An Xunuo’s words seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
“Yes, there are many coincidences in life. You are the daughter of England’s House of Lord’s speaker, so you shouldn’t be appearing in that kind of place. It seems like Miss An and Michael have a very different set of values.”
“Stop talking nonsense. What exactly are you trying to say?”
“Is there anything I want to say? I’m just curious why you were there and who you are working for.”
An Xunuo sneered. “I have nothing much to say.”
“It’s okay if you don’t say. I will keep this chip then,” Ye Ningyuan suddenly smiled and said. Xunuo was angered. “Ye Ningyuan, you’re going back on your words?”
“So what?”
An Xunuo was extremely furious. It was not scary to meet a hooligan. The scariest thing was to meet a hooligan with high intelligence who didn’t even know how to write the words shame and trustworthy. “What exactly do you want?”
“Who is the one that wants to buy this chip?” Ye Ningyuan asked.
An Xunuo looked at him in silence before saying, “Ye Ningyuan, from what I know, you like your so-called artistic life. Since when are you so interested in the underworld’s matters?”
“I’m interested in you!” Ye Ningyuan said it out clearly, word by word. An Xunuo’s heart started to palpitate quickly, and she had the sudden urge to run away. What was he saying?
There was a fury of fire in her heart. Wasn’t he Xu Xing’s boyfriend? Why did he say such a thing that would make people misunderstand him?
“The daughter of England’s House of Lord’s speaker is a senior supervisor that traffics information and had stolen a lot of information from England and sold it to other countries. It will definitely be interesting if such interesting news is leaked. What do you think?”
“Shameless!”
“Thanks for the compliment!” Ye Ningyuan smiled and acted as if he did not see the anger on her face. He did not know why, but he liked to make her angry and loved to see her angry expression.
“What exactly do you want? Please, could you say it clearly?” An Xunuo pressed her hand against the table and stared at him coldly.
Ye Ningyuan smiled slightly. “Everyone will be safe if you answer me truthfully.”
Xunuo was angry and said, “Black J from the Top Terrorist Organization wants it.”
Ye Ningyuan smiled even more. He wanted it? Let him think about it. Since when did he want this biological weapon? Biological weapon was extremely harmful and he did not want to research it. But, the Top Terrorist Organization had quite a lot of biological weapons to prevent the government of various countries from attacking him. He was never in need of biological weapons with scary lethality. Moreover, he always developed their own biological weapons, so why would he want the biological weapons developed by others when the effect and harms were unknown?
Even if he wanted it and wanted to be the middleman to earn profits, he did not have to spend any money to hire other people. The Top Terrorist Organization had a lot of talents in this area, so why would they need to trouble her?
This was an intelligent lie and he had nothing to say.
“I see.” Ye Ningyuan smiled and looked at her in silence. Xunuo felt creepy and frowned. “What are you doing?”
“I suddenly realized that Miss An is smart.”
“Thanks for the compliment!” An Xunuo said without much emotion. Ye Ningyuan fiddled with the chip in his hand. “This small chip would be harmful if it goes into the weapon market. Miss An, are you sure you want to take it back to transact?”
“It’s none of my business!” An Xunuo said coldly. “I’m only in charge of getting the chip. As for how it will be treated, it’s not within my responsibility.”
“So cold!”
“Is there not enough people who are cold in your family?”
“You’re so direct.” Ye Ningyuan smiled. The young man gave them two cups of coffee, a small cake, and a fruit platter. Ye Ningyuan smiled at him. “Since when did you become a waiter?’
“Serving such a beautiful lady is what I should do.” The young man smiled brightly at An Xunuo, but she ignored him. She seemed to not know the aphorism of not slapping a smiling face. “The more beautiful a lady is, the colder she is. What kind of world is this?”
His ability to withstand stress was very strong. Ye Ningyuan saw the cake on the table and looked gently at the cake as it was very delicate. Xunuo looked at the small cake and was shocked when she realized that the cake was red. There were a few words on it, saying ‘Happy 20th birthday, Nuo Nuo’. She looked up at him, but Ye Ningyuan was looking at the cake in a gentle manner. This gentleness was different from the softness of his face. It was as if he was thinking about someone. It was a gentle and strong affection.
The young man smiled and asked, “How is this cake? It’s better than the ones in the past, right?”
“Thanks!” Ye Ningyuan looked up and smiled.
“You used to eat this cake alone in the past, but it seems like there’s someone to eat with you now.” He looked at Xunuo and smiled before taking the tray and leaving. Xunuo looked at the cake, puzzled. Whose birthday was Ye Ningyuan celebrating?
Nuo Nuo…
“Eat the cake!” Ye Ningyuan smiled. An Xunuo paused for a while. “Whose birthday is it today? Oh right, Xu Xing…”
She suddenly remembered that it was Xu Xing’s birthday today. Her daddy asked her to go home earlier today so that they could attend Xu Xing’s twentieth birthday party. He was Xu Xing’s boyfriend, but why didn’t he celebrate at the party and instead celebrated here—no, that name was not Xu Xing.
“I don’t like sweet stuff,” Xunuo said calmly. She looked on as Ye Ningyuan blew the candle and cut the cake elegantly.
“I love it a lot.”
