Feng An Yu stayed silent as he observed Ning Wei's expression. Before Ning Wei could open her mouth again, Feng An Yu finally replied. "You helped me at the club that night. Today, I came here to thank you for your help." He lowered his head slightly to bow.
"You're welcome." The man's sudden politeness made her feel a bit awkward. "But…" Ning Wei supported her chin with her hands. "I was wearing a mask, and you were quite delirious that night. How do you know that it was me?"
"It wasn't that hard. I know someone in the club," Feng An Yu admitted.
Ning Wei clicked her tongue. "I thought that the club values its customers' privacy. It seemed that wasn't true." She made a mental note to remind Fu Ming Shi not to have any meetings at the club again.
"It was an emergency," Feng An Yu said. His forehead creased as he continued to watch Ning Wei's reaction. The young man seemed unhappy that he had used his connection to find him. "Are you angry?"
Ning Wei raised a brow before bursting into a laugh. "I am not angry. I am not very happy that you could find me through your connection, either. Mister…" She gestured towards Feng An Yu with her hand.
"Feng An Yu."
"Mister Feng." Ning Wei smiled. "You should know that I didn't want to get involved with your matters when I decided to leave you at the hospital. I don't want to be recognized. Otherwise, I would stay at the hospital until you're awake, don't you think?" A chuckle escaped her lips. "You do not have to find me just to thank me." She gave the man a lookover. "It's good that you are safe and unharmed."
"My matters?" His attention was focused on the words that Ning Wei used earlier.
Ning Wei nodded. "That woman you are trying to escape from had a group of people chasing after you. Fortunately, we left before they could get you."
Feng An Yu narrowed his eyes as he tried to recall some details from that night.. He remembered that Feng Zhe brought along a woman with him to the club. That night, Feng An Yu did not suspect anything. He thought that the woman was just another of Feng Zhe's companions. It wasn't strange for Feng Zhe to be seen with different women. His cousin enjoyed being surrounded by beautiful women.
He was too focused on the matters that Feng Zhe wanted to discuss. Feng An Yu did not pay much attention to that woman and had not realized when they spiked his food or drinks.
As the memories came to his mind, Feng An Yu internally scolded himself for being too careless.
"I don't know why they were after you or what sort of problems you have with them," Ning Wei continued. "But I want no part of it. Mister Feng, since you know who I am, I'm guessing that you might have investigated me a bit. I am a celebrity. For the sake of my future in this industry, I don't want to get involved with your matters or get into any trouble."
Her personal matters were already complicated enough. Ning Wei did not wish to add more trouble to her life.
Feng An Yu digested Ning Wei's words and finally nodded. "Don't worry. I won't let you be involved in my matters."
Ning Wei's expression softened. "Then, this matter is resolved. Mister Feng, after you drop me off at the workshop, we will be complete strangers." The smile on Ning Wei's lips widened when she saw that they had almost reached the workshop.
Assistant Xiao Jin was eavesdropping on their conversation while he was focusing on his driving.
He could not hide his surprise when he heard Ning Wei's words. He had suspected that Ning Wei had some agenda when she helped his boss the other day. Hearing that Ning Wei wanted nothing with Feng An Yu was not what he had considered. There were many people who sought to gain favor with Young Master Feng for personal benefits. Why was Ning Wei a little different?
Assistant Xiao Jin wondered if Ning Wei knew who Feng An Yu was.
Or could this be another trick?
"Is there anything you need?"
Feng An Yu's question made Ning Wei raise a brow in puzzlement. "What do you mean?"
"You helped me. I–"
"Are you suggesting that you wanted to give me something in return for my help?" Ning Wei asked before Feng An Yu could finish his sentence. She thought that this matter was over. She did not expect that this man would feel that she needed anything from him just because she helped.
This tall man might be very good-looking. However, it seemed that he had a problem in his head.
Ning Wei scoffed. "I don't want or need anything from you. Mr. Feng, to tell you the truth, I was not planning to help you that night. But you were clinging to my arm tightly, and I had no way to shake you off."
Feng An Yu wanted to tell Ning Wei that he had never clung to her. But he had seen the surveillance camera from that night and could not deny that this incident did happen.
"I just thought that I should drop you off at the hospital since it was on the way." Ning Wei flashed a smile that did not reach her eyes. "You don't have to thank me or think of me as a good person."
Feng An Yu did not expect that Ning Wei would look unhappy because he was going to offer something in exchange for Ning Wei's help. He did not think that he had done or said anything wrong.
Then, why did Ning Wei look so angry?
Ning Wei was just too temperamental.
His mood changed like the autumn weather.
Was it because he's a celebrity?
Feng An Yu observed Ning Wei a little more and decided that he could not understand the young man's thoughts.
"Hey, Mister!"
THUMP!
"Huh?" Assistant Xiao Jin was still eavesdropping when someone hit the back of his seat. He raised his gaze and met Ning Wei's eyes through the rear mirror.
"Stop here," Ning Wei said. "You can drop me off right here."
"Right here?"
"Uh-huh." Ning Wei nodded.
Assistant Xiao Jin did not dare to stop. He glanced at his boss, wanting to know what he thought, but his boss was not looking at him. Xiao Jin turned to Ning Wei again before he finally made his decision and stepped on the brake.
They were a couple of blocks away from that destination. If Ning Wei wanted to get off now, it should not be a problem, right?
The car came to a halt.
Ning Wei unlocked the door and got off. Without saying another word to Feng An Yu, she shut the door and turned to leave.
Feng An Yu stayed silent as he watched Ning Wei's figure leave. After a while, he let out a sigh and looked at his assistant. "Assistant Xiao Jin. Did I say anything wrong?"
