Yan Ning glanced at the other person, her cheeks instantly reddening.
"Tingting... what a coincidence..."
The other person was Xu Shuting, not only Yan Ran’s classmate, but also a close friend, and her family lived at Jinghu No.1 Villa District.
Yan Ning turned back and gave Zhang Jingdong a sidelong glance, then continued to Xu Shuting, "Tingting, why didn’t you go to school today?"
Xu Shuting glanced at Zhang Jingdong next to Yan Ning, and replied with a smile, "Our class is here for a group event today."
Yan Ning was suddenly a bit flustered, "Your classmates are all here, so... where’s Ranran?"
"She went to eat noodles with Mengmeng and the others, she said you didn’t let her eat KFC."
At this point, Xu Shuting suddenly remembered something, "Mrs. Yan, you are...?"
Yan Ning’s brain short-circuited for a moment, "I... oh..."
Fortunately, there was an expert liar by her side at this moment, "Mr. Yan, didn’t you want to go to the restroom? Hurry up and go!"
Yan Ning promptly reacted, "Oh... I... I’m going to the restroom."
She smiled at Xu Shuting as she spoke, then headed to the restroom.
Xu Shuting seriously scrutinized Zhang Jingdong for a moment, then said, "Are you the tutor for Zifeng?"
Zhang Jingdong thought, young lady, you really are small but sharp, you could tell?
"Why did you guess that I’m Zifeng’s tutor instead of Mr. Yan’s staff?"
Xu Shuting blinked her pretty eyes, "Because Mrs. Yan almost never spends time alone with a man."
"Her assistant is Sister He Jieyu, and you’re so young and familiar with Mrs. Yan, so I guessed randomly."
"And judging by the way you talk, it seems like I guessed right, huh?"
Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help teasing her, "But if I were Zifeng’s tutor, shouldn’t I be at his house? Why am I here with your Mrs. Yan?"
"Because Ranran mentioned you and Mrs. Yan seemed to be dating, and she said you are handsome. Now that I see you, you are indeed handsome."
Zhang Jingdong pursed his lips, "It seems like you and Yan Ran have a good relationship, you even know about these things!"
"I’m not just Ranran’s classmate, I’m also her neighbor. I visit her house often, so naturally, I know these things."
Zhang Jingdong suddenly realized and then asked, "How much is your monthly allowance?"
Although Xu Shuting was a little surprised, she quickly understood.
So she replied, "500, what’s up?"
Zhang Jingdong directly took out his wallet, pulled out over a thousand, and handed it to her, "Can you pretend you didn’t see anything today?"
Xu Shuting hesitated, "But Ranran already knows you have a close relationship with Mrs. Yan..."
"I’m talking about me and Mr. Yan coming to KFC."
Xu Shuting instantly understood, "Got it... no problem!"
She said, taking Zhang Jingdong’s money directly.
"Uncle, don’t worry, I won’t spend this money myself. I will treat Ranran to something good."
Zhang Jingdong nodded with a smile, "What a good kid!"
At this time, Yan Ning returned.
"Tingting, do you have classes this afternoon?"
"No, this afternoon is free because of the group event."
"Where did Ran Ran go for noodles?"
"Just at the nearby Mr. Li’s Beef Noodles."
Yan Ning took out her wallet at this point, pulled out two hundred yuan and handed it to Xu Shuting, "Tingting, Auntie will cover this meal for you."
Xu Shuting hurriedly waved her hands, "Auntie, this uncle has already given me money, I can’t take yours too!"
Yan Ning glanced at Zhang Jingdong, then said, "It’s okay, take it, buy something tasty."
Xu Shuting then accepted the money, "Thank you, Mrs. Yan."
Yan Ning chatted with her for a couple more sentences, then left KFC with Zhang Jingdong.
"Jingdong, you... you go back first, I’ll go find Ranran."
"Let’s go together, actually Ranran already knows about our relationship."
"Xu Shuting told me just now, she guessed I was Zifeng’s tutor right away. I asked why she didn’t guess I was your company’s staff, and she replied that not only is she Ranran’s classmate, but her family is also neighbors with yours, so she knows a lot of things about your family."

"Surely she didn’t guess about our relationship, Ranran must have told her."
Yan Ning was suddenly a bit furrowed, "But... she never asked me about this before."
"She must have been afraid of embarrassing you. Actually, these kids today can accept and grasp things way beyond our imagination."
"Many things you think they would struggle to accept, they might actually find them completely normal."
At this point, Zhang Jingdong vaguely realized that perhaps the biggest concern why Yan Ning hadn’t that was because of Yan Ran.
He continued, "Mr. Yan, this isn’t about speeding things up."
"I just think instead of keeping things from Ranran and Zifeng, it’s better to let them know our relationship early, so I can naturally fulfill my duty as an uncle to them!"
Yan Ning froze a little, then felt a bit bashful, "But... you..."
"I mainly feel a bit embarrassed, after all, you’re Zifeng’s tutor, and yet we... "
Zhang Jingdong said earnestly, "Look, Zifeng seems quite satisfied with me now. He should be okay, and since Ranran already knows our relationship and chose to acquiesce, she has actually accepted it too."
"But... Zifeng is taking his college entrance exam in the next two days. Let’s wait until it’s over."
"Do you want to take me to see Ran Ran now?"
