In the barbecue restaurant.
Two women sat facing each other.
Zhao Xueying had long, jet-black hair, with the ends draped over her fragrant shoulders. Her beautiful eyes were like autumn water, as captivating as rippling water, delicate and bright, exuding mature charm.
In contrast, sitting across from her, Ning Nan had her black hair tied into a sleek ponytail, revealing her entire smooth forehead. Her eyes were cold, and there was a heroic spirit in her brows.
Their temperaments were very different. If there was a common point, it was that both were extremely beautiful.
The two sat facing each other, their eyes meeting in the air, and finally, it was Zhao Xueying who spoke first.
"Miss, the more I look at you, the more familiar you seem. Have we met somewhere before?" Zhao Xueying said with a gentle smile. Although she knew Ning Nan might be a friend of Fang Yi, for some reason, there was a hint of hostility in her tone.
Zhao Xueying quickly brushed away this terrifying thought in her heart.
Ning Nan put her bag on the table and snapped her fingers. A waiter immediately jogged over, and Ning Nan asked for a cup of tea.
Only then did Ning Nan look directly at Zhao Xueying, and said, "My name is Ning Nan."
Zhao Xueying thought for a moment but had no memory of this name.
"From the Dragon Team," Ning Nan added.
In an instant, Zhao Xueying’s face slightly changed.
Her gaze at Ning Nan changed at this moment as well.
Zhao Xueying was originally from the Zhao Family and later married into the Jian Family. Although she was a woman, she had heard a lot about the Dragon Team.
Especially since the Dragon Team’s headquarters was in Tianjing, Zhao Xueying had seen it a few times from the outside, magnificent and grand.
Not only that, but she had also heard of the legendary Dragon Guards.
There were actually people from the Zhao Family in the military, some even became part of the border army.
The border army defends against external threats, and the Dragon Guards maintain internal peace.
With the Dragon Guards as a foundation, the Dragon Team was extremely formidable. Although Zhao Xueying only heard a little about it, she held the Dragon Team in great reverence, along with fear.
And at this moment, the woman in front, who called herself Ning Nan, claimed to be from the Dragon Team, which surprised Zhao Xueying—what kind of background did Fang Yi have to invite someone from the Dragon Team?
Moreover, judging by this woman’s demeanor and aura, she didn’t seem like an ordinary Dragon Team member.
Despite her surprise, Zhao Xueying pressed it down. She took a deep breath, slightly calming her emotions, and said, "So Miss Ning is from the Dragon Team. Forgive me for being blunt, but what is your relationship with Fang Yi...?"
"Not boyfriend and girlfriend, not any kind of relationship!" Ning Nan replied coldly.
Not boyfriend and girlfriend?
Is this an explanation?
But why does this explanation sound like a case of protesting too much?
Zhao Xueying laughed and said, "It seems Miss Ning doesn’t like Fang Yi, but I feel Fang Yi is quite nice."
Ning Nan raised an eyebrow, "Really? But from what I know, that guy is bad to a certain level! If I had the chance, I’d strangle him!"
The smile on Zhao Xueying’s mature and beautiful face faded: "Isn’t that... too serious?"
Serious? ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novèlfire.net
Ning Nan didn’t think so at all.
Thinking of that guy repeatedly teasing her, Ning Nan felt that strangling him was even letting him off easy.
As she was thinking this, suddenly Ning Nan frowned, quickly covering her mouth as a feeling of discomfort rose in her stomach. Clutching her mouth, she heaved dryly and immediately got up, heading quickly towards the women’s restroom.
Zhao Xueying sat there, momentarily stunned, then vaguely felt she understood something.
