Chapter 23 - Remember Me

After waiting for a few more minutes, Bai Ning really did not want to wait any longer. She said to another security guard, "Could I trouble you to call your colleague back here?"

People were always more willing to help pretty people. The security guard nodded without hesitation and quickly dialed the other guard's number. The call went through, but no one picked up.

The security guard called several times, but got the same result each time. He said to Bai Ning apologetically, "I'm sorry, young lady. My colleague might not have his cell phone on him, so he can't pick up the call." 

Hearing this, Bai Ning frowned. If the security guard did not come back, she would not be able to report for class.

Bai Ning looked at her watch and asked, "Could you give me the phone number of the dean's office or the principal's office?"

The security guard scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry. I've only been here for a few days, so I don't know that yet. You should just wait a little longer."

There were two security guards at the gate. One of them knew nothing, and the other was nowhere to be seen. Bai Ning was speechless. Was her first day of school destined to be so unsuccessful?

The security guard from just now suddenly got up and walked quickly to the gate. A black car was about to drive into the campus.

The car window rolled down, and the security guard stuck his head out to take a look. The driver seemed to show him something. The guard's expression suddenly became much more respectful, and he nodded and bowed to the car owner, saying something indistinct about wine.

Bai Ning only raised her gaze to glance at them. She did not pay them much attention and looked up when she heard the honking of a horn.

The rear window rolled down halfway, and a handsome and familiar face was revealed.

Bai Ning was stunned. She never expected to see him here.

Lu Qin raised his brows slightly and said to her with a half-smile, "What's wrong? You were stopped?"

Bai Ning's surprised expression had already been wiped off her face. She spread out her hands. Anyone with eyes would understand the situation she was currently in.

"Come on in. Brother will bring you in," Lu Qin said in a ruffian-like manner, sounding just like a little hooligan who flirted with girls on the street.

Dong Yu, who was driving in the front, peeked at Lu Qin in disbelief through the rearview mirror. Was this still his serious and cold boss? Why did it seem like he had become a different person?

Bai Ning raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the security guard. He still looked very respectful, and it did not seem like he would stop them.

She did not hesitate any longer. She pulled open the back door and sat inside.

Bai Yiyi, who was not far away, happened to witness this scene. She quickly said, "Big Brother, look! It's Ningning."

Bai Ze, who had sent Bai Yiyi to school, felt a little guilty about Bai Ning. When he heard this, he quickly looked up, but he only saw the black car driving into the campus. He did not see her.

"Where? Yiyi, you must be mistaken," Bai Ze replied.

Bai Yiyi looked at the black car again. Even though she could only see the back of it from afar, she was sure that Bai Ning was inside. However, she had gotten into the car too quickly, so Bai Ze had not seen her. 

She thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Yes, maybe I was. Why would Ningning get into a stranger's car?"

Their surroundings were noisy and her voice was soft, so Bai Ze only heard some of what she said. He asked in confusion, "Take a stranger's car?"

Bai Yiyi shook her head and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Big Brother, thank you for sending me to school today. I'll go in now!"

"Oh, okay. You should go." Bai Ze absent-mindedly put on a smile and waved at her.

When he could no longer see Bai Yiyi, his face darkened.

His sister had come to school in a stranger's car?

After Bai Ning got into Lu Qin's car, she held his chin and stared at him with interest. She chuckled and said, "Neighbor, we meet again so soon! What a coincidence!"

"I have a name. Remember it. I'm Lu Qin," he said, pretending to be angry. As he spoke, he reached out to touch Bai Ning's head.

As he finished speaking, the car suddenly shook violently.

Lu Qin raised his head and looked coldly at Dong Yu, who was driving.

Dong Yu instantly felt a chill run down his spine. His body stiffened, and he did not dare to look his boss in the eye through the rearview mirror.

Bai Ning did not mind Lu Qin's strange behavior. She lazily leaned back on the car seat and muttered, "That's a nice name."

Lu Qin propped his head up with his hand and asked in a mischievous manner, "Nice name? Who cares about that? Now, tell me, do I have a nice face?" 

"I can't say much about your face, but I haven't seen you for a few days and your skin seems to have already grown thicker," Bai Ning said slowly and rolled her eyes at him.
