Chapter 30

NEXT MORNING

Early in the morning Gu Ning got up and was about to get ready and run to school when she remembered that she was almost an hours run away.

She looked around to find her alarm clock to check the time. It was around 4:30 and class started around 8 so she decided to run. She had already remembered the route so she knew she wouldn't get lost in the forest.

She quickly took a shower and got ready. She went downstairs and surprisingly saw Isaiah already in the living room with a bowl of fruit and cereal.

Isaiah" Looks like you're awake. I heard you waking up so I thought I'd make you breakfast."

Gu Ning" Thank you, you didn't have to."

Isaiah" I didn't have to. But I wanted to. Also thank you for talking with Xueyun. She doesn't have any friends besides me. So I know she appreciated the extra company."

Gu Ning" It's fine, she seems really nice. So what's your relationship. How did you meet."

While the two were talking Gu Ning couldn't help but think how nice it was to just sit down and talk. Especially with Isaiah. He just had that kind of effect.

After Finishing her breakfast they both decided to run to school together.

When they got to the gate Isaiah went full-face cover mode again which disappointed Gu Ning a bit. She didn't understand why he covered his features.

They ran to school then continued to run with there friends. They didn't go back to school until it was five minutes before the morning class.

There weren't bathrooms in their school, so they couldn't take a bath even though they were all wet from running.

Luckily, they would take a shower when they went back home and they weren't smelly so it was fine.

Hao Ran" Boss, today's Friday. Let's go have some fun in our club tonight!" Hao Ran said on the way back to their classrooms.

Peihan" I like it. Gu Ning, go with us!" Chu Peihan said with excitement.

Zixun" Yeah! It's our place. It's safe," Qin Zixun said.

Tianping" We have a new kind of fruit drink. Girls love it! Boss, why not have a try?" Zhang Tianping added.

Gu Ning" I need to go to City G this afternoon, sorry," Gu Ning replied.

The crowd immediately felt disappointed.

Peihan" Why are you going to City G?" Chu Peihan asked.

Gu Ning" To deal with something," Gu Ning said.

Hai Ran" Something about what?" Hao Ran inquired.

Gu Ning" That's a secret," Gu Ning answered.

Hearing that, they all felt bored, but since Gu Ning wasn't willing to tell, they stopped asking.

Gu Ning" But, I'll buy gifts for you all," Gu Ning added.

Knowing that everyone was delighted again.

Everyone" Sounds great!"

Although they all knew Gu Ning was from a poor family, they didn't reject her kindness because they believed Gu Ning wouldn't buy something expensive.

Gifts showed affection and didn't need to be expensive.

She had already prepared everything she needed, so she took a taxi, heading to the airport directly after the afternoon classes were over. Isaiah followed her so he could see her off.

He was the only one that knew what she was really doing.

It was the rush hour, and the roads were crowded downtown. When the car left downtown, it moved fast again.

They left the school at 5:50 pm and her plane would fly at 7:40. It took around 40 minutes to get to the airport. When they arrived, it was already 6:40 pm.

60 minutes were left, so Gu Ning wasn't in a hurry. She went to a washroom and changed her clothes.

Jean shorts, a loose white T-shirt and a pair of white sneakers. Gu Ning pulled up her hair and looked energetic and attractive.

Plus her flawless skin and her beautiful face. She was literally charming and shining. People around her would give her glances once in a while.

Isaiah" Alright this is were we part ways. Remember if anything happens or you need help you can just call me. And you don't have to worry about your mom. I'll keep her safe. If anything happens I'll call you."

Gu Ning" Mhh, thanks for coming with me."

Isaiah" Its no problem. Good luck with that gambling of yours."

They gave each other a hug goodbye before Gu Ning went to get her ticket checked. While Isaiah watched her leave. When she was out of his sight he pulled out his phone and sent a text.

Isaiah[ If Anything dangerous happens I want you to protect her. If she loses so much as a hair on her head punishment will be waiting back on the training grounds. IS THAT UNDERSTOOD.]

Lynx[ YES BOSS.]

Ringtail[ ShiShiShi, understood master.]

Yak[ UNDERSTOOD BOSS MAN.]

Wolverine[ GROWL.]

Triton[ ...]

Virgo[ Ara Ara.🤭]

Isaiah[ What Happened to Triton. Why didn't he respond.]

Ringtail[ Shishi, he went out again. So I thought I would punish him myself and use one of my new poisons. Turns Out not even poison immunity could help him and now he's out cold. He'll probably come back in a few hours.]

Virgo[🙊🙊🙊]

Lynx[😡😡😡]

Yak[😗😗😗😗]

Wolverine[ GROWL]

Isaiah[ Sigh, just complete the mission. Failure isn't an option.]

With that said he closed his phone and took a taxi back to school.

While with Gu Ning.

Gu Ning stood in line to take her ticket, then she was in the lounge.

In the lounge, Gu Ning still had half an hour. It wasn't enough time for a meal, so Gu Ning planned to have a cup of coffee.

Coincidentally, the minute Gu Ning walked in the café, she saw Qin Yifan with a young, beautiful lady.

Qin Yifan" Gu Ning, what a coincidence! Where are you going?" Qin Yifan beamed when Gu Ning appeared in his sight. He stood up in excitement, greeting Gu Ning.

Qin Yifan was the person she had sold the king green jade to so, of course, she recognised him.

The lady beside Qin Yifan was a little unhappy. She checked Gu Ning out with an unkind look. She was jealous, especially when she found out Gu Ning had a charming appearance.
