Chapter 48 Ambiguity

  "Today you look very refreshing!" Du Huo Jia saw Ning Qing Mi take off her glasses and wipe them, the tip of her small nose slightly sweating, and smiled faintly: "Fang Chao Liu is just a playboy, you don't have to be afraid of him."

  Ning Qingmin took out a tissue and wiped her nose, nodding slightly, unsure of what to say. Fang Chaoliu only said he wanted to send himself back to school, nothing else, and couldn't be accused of harassment or anything like that, let alone being afraid. With Du Hujia's interruption, he probably wouldn't come looking for himself again. Besides, Fang Chaoliu was the young master of a real estate company, handsome and refined, so it wasn't worth lowering himself to pursue her.

  Ning Qingmin thought to herself as she secretly glanced at Du Hujia, who was wearing a dark grey cotton-padded jacket with the collar slightly open, his hands gripping the steering wheel, revealing the tension in his muscles. Ning Qingmin couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Du Hujia noticed that Ning Qingmin wasn't speaking and focused on driving instead. After a while, he said, "If business is good, we need to sign employment contracts with our employees to prevent them from being poached by others after we've invested so much in training them. When running a small business, another important thing to pay attention to is the personnel issue. If the person you hire suddenly quits, you'll have to close up shop and can't take any chances."

  "Thanks for reminding me!" Ning Qingming only then remembered that Zhang Yu had told her before, the neighboring store was asking how much she would pay per month to help them take care of their storefront, and also said that if she wanted to help others take care of their storefronts, she could introduce them. It seems that indeed a employment contract needs to be signed, and later on, she still needs to send Zhang Yu to learn some foreign trade English, indeed need to guard against the people she has cultivated with hard work being poached by others.

  The car was fast and smooth, but Ning Qingmin couldn't help feeling drowsy after being kept up late by Zhou Ling's chatter the night before. He had gotten up early that morning, and now his eyelids were growing heavy, his head nodding off little by little until he finally leaned against the seat and fell asleep.

  Du Huajia drove the car to the bottom of the residential building, turned around and looked at Ning Qingmian, seeing that she was sleeping soundly. For a moment, he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he just silently stared at her in a daze. After a while, he got out of the car first, walked around to the other side, opened the door, leaned over and unfastened Ning Qingmian's seatbelt. Just as he was about to carry her down, his hand stretched out and saw that Ning Qingmian had shrunk into the seat like a small cat, her red lips slightly pursed, causing him to pause for a moment, hesitate, then withdraw his hand and stand still in front of the car.

  "Xiao Ning, wake up!" Du Hu's family lightly knocked on the car door, but his eyes were no longer on Ning Qingmian, instead looking into the distance.

  "Ah, sorry about that, I actually fell asleep!" Ning Qingming was startled awake, her face flushed bright red, and in a panic to get off the car, she bumped her head right into Du Hua's chest. Du Hua didn't think twice, instinctively wrapping his arms around her, holding her steady, saying "Be careful not to shatter your glasses!"

  Du Huajia's magnetic voice sounded in her ear, hot breath swept across her cheek, and her cheek seemed to be burned by something, quickly igniting a fire. Ning Qingming's heart inexplicably "thumped" wildly.

  Damn it, I'm like throwing myself into his arms! Ning Qingmin silently scolded herself for being clumsy, fortunately the darkness surrounded them, so the other person shouldn't be able to see her face turning bright red. Hurriedly trying to make conversation, she said: "This neighborhood is quite quiet."

  "Uh, it's close to the company here. Usually when I'm late, I come over and sleep here." Du Huo locked the car and led the way forward.

  Ning Qing followed closely behind. Silently guessing that Du Huo's home might be decorated with gold and jade. As soon as they entered, she was stunned. Whispering: "You live in such an ordinary place? I thought you'd decorate your home like a grand hotel lobby, all luxurious and magnificent."

  "This was originally bought for a senior official. He happened to go abroad, so I lived here myself. It's just a place to sleep. Who would I decorate it for?" Du couldn't help but laugh. Pointing to another room, he said: "The books are all on the bookshelves inside. You go take a look. I'll go wash my face!"

  Ning Qingmin was about to speak, but his stomach growled loudly. He felt embarrassed and said, "Do you have a phone here to order takeout? I'll just order something to eat. I've been busy all day and I'm starving."

  "Oh, I'll make a call!" Du Huajia heard Ning Qing's words and picked up his mobile phone to make a call. However, it was just to instruct the company canteen department to quickly send two lunchboxes over. "It's our own company's, can't delay any time. If we were outside, we'd still have to wait for a while before they arrive." Du Huajia explained as he hung up his phone.

  But... The company's employees saw you with a girl here, and even called for takeout together. What if there's a misunderstanding? If rumors spread, what should I do? Ning Qingmin muttered to herself, but didn't dare say it out loud. She looked at the room where she put her books, turned on the light and went in.

  Picked up a few books. Heard the doorbell ringing. Ning Qingmo guessed that the staff had brought fast food. Thought of letting Du Hua's family go and open the door. Didn't show up himself. Who knew the doorbell rang several times? Also didn't hear Du Hua's family going to open the door. Couldn't help but whisper. Had to come out of the room. Just put his hand on the doorknob. Heard Du Hua's voice saying, "Why not open the door?" Turned back to take a look. Du Hua's hair was wet and wrapped in a large bath towel standing behind him. Less domineering than usual. More sexy. Couldn't help but jump in fright. Opened the door immediately.

  "I knew you hadn't eaten, so I brought it myself." Standing outside the door was Du Huahua, who looked inside through the iron gate and exclaimed: "I came to the wrong place!"

  "Come in, what's with the nonsense?" Du Huajia saw Ning Qingwu open the iron gate and took a step back, saying: "Aren't you hungry? What are you still dawdling for?"

  Du Huahua stuffed the lunchbox into Ning Qingmin's hand and said: "You guys eat slowly, I'll go first!"

  "Hey, it's not what you think!" Ning Qing said with a sudden burst of inspiration.

  "I didn't think of anything!" Du Huahua giggled and turned her head to run downstairs.

  If you leave now, I'll be in trouble. Ning Qing was anxious and hastily said to Du Huahua: "I just came to borrow a book."

  "Come back and help Xiaoning pick out a few suitable books." Du Hujia waved at Du Huahua, pulling up the large towel wrapped around her body to wipe her hair.

  Ah! Ning Qingmin secretly exclaimed in her heart, just about to turn away her gaze, when she caught a glimpse of Du Huo's family member wearing the same clothes as before, apparently having only washed his hair, causing both herself and Du Huo Hua to be shocked.

  Du Hu looked carefully at Du Hu's house and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he went in and smiled: "Second brother, your expression just now is quite ambiguous. I almost thought of something wrong."

  "Me too!" With one more person, Ning Qing's mood relaxed a bit.

  Two people each took their lunch boxes to eat, Du Huahua glanced at Ning Qingmian and said: "Little Ning, you are a beautiful girl, except for us, never casually go to other men's homes, do you understand?"

  "Ah!" Ning Qing's expression was a mix of laughter and tears, and she almost choked on her food.

  Du Huajia naturally stretched out his hand and patted Ning Qingmian's back, adding: "What Huahua said is right!"
