Pretending

Feng An Yu tapped his fingers against his thigh as he looked at the documents in his hand.

A photo of a sunny boy stared back at him. His lips were curved into a lazy smile, and his eyes were bright. This boy gave Feng An Yu the impression that he had no secrets.

But his investigation on Ning Wei proved otherwise.

Not too long after Su Ming Yuan revealed the name of his rescuer, Feng An Yu had asked his assistant to investigate the young man further.

Ning Wei was raised in A City where he was raised by his adoptive mother.

The young man became an orphan at a very young age. His origin was unknown. It was said that his adoptive mother found him on the roadside.

The police attempted to locate his family but were unsuccessful. No one came forward to claim the child. The police suspected that Ning Wei might be kidnapped to be sold somewhere, but the kidnappers lost him somehow, and he was left at the roadside.

Ning Wei was too young. Back then, all he could remember was his name, Ning Wei. He did not know his parents' names or where they might live. 

Now that he had become a celebrity, Ning Wei had hidden his background. His fans did not know much about him, only that he was a young man from A City with a bright and sunny smile.

The car pulled over on the side road. 

Feng An Yu raised his head to look at the view outside the window and frowned. 

"Mr. Feng."

The voice snapped Feng An Yu out of his thoughts. He retracted his gaze and found his assistant, Xiao Jin, looking at him.

"We have arrived." Xiao Jin announced.

"I know." Feng An Yu nodded.

Xiao Jin continued to observe his boss. 

He wanted to ask if his boss planned to go out and look for his rescuer or stay in the car to observe the situation a little more. But then, Xiao Jin stayed silent. He knew that his boss was contemplating meeting the young man.

After all, his boss was suspicious of his meeting with the young talent. 

They met at the club where his boss was drugged with an aphrodisiac type drug. 

Ning Wei might have helped Feng An Yu out of a troublesome situation. But who knew if he had his own reason for helping him?

It was said that Feng An Yu ran into Ning Wei as soon as he escaped the room. But who knew if Ning Wei's appearance might be part of someone else's plan? 

Assistant Xiao Jin thought that there was a possibility that Ning Wei wanted to get close to someone with influence like Feng An Yu to boost his career.

It was said that those people who entered the entertainment industry were willing to do anything for money. They put aside their shame and dignity for money.

The sound of the door snapped Xiao Jin out of his thoughts. 

Assistant Xiao Jin looked surprised when he saw his boss alighting from the vehicle. He was very sure that his boss was going to ask him to drive away without meeting that young man.

"Mr. Feng?" Assistant Xiao Jin pursed his lips, realizing he probably should not speak. 

Feng An Yu paused briefly. "Wait here for a while. I'll go and take a look." Without waiting for his assistant to reply, Feng An Yu alighted from the vehicle. He walked further towards the building and stopped just before the entrance.

He stood there to watch the apartment building.. It was unknown if he was planning to go in or not.

After a while, he finally made his move. 

Feng An Yu raised a hand to push the door in front of him. However, someone else pushed the door from the inside before he could touch the handle.

The person seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Their bodies collided, making Feng An Yu's body shift slightly.

"Sorry." The person apologized.

Feng An Yu lowered his head to look at the person. The light in his eyes shifted the moment he recognized the face.

It was the young man whom he had been looking for.

Ning Wei.

Their eyes met.

Feng An Yu noticed the change in the young man's eyes.

He could tell that the young man recognized him.

Ning Wei's heart was racing. He did not expect to see the tall man at his apartment.

Ning Wei's instinct was telling her that the tall man had come to look for her. But Ning Wei quickly denied it.

When she met this tall man at the club, she was wearing a mask to cover her face. When they dropped him off at the hospital, Fu Ming Shi had ensured that no one would recognize him.

With those thoughts in mind, Ning Wei averted her eyes, planning to pretend as if she did not recognize Feng An Yu. She stepped aside and rushed out to leave. 

However, after one step, someone tugged on her arm, forcing her to stop. 

Ning Wei turned slowly to look at the hand holding her arms. She raised her head and looked at the man in puzzlement. "Sir?"

Feng An Yu narrowed his eyes. 

He knew that Ning Wei had recognized him. But now, this young man was pretending as if he could not recognize him.

Ning Wei tried to struggle to get away from Feng An Yu, but the man was holding her arm tightly. "May I help you?" Ning Wei asked when Feng An Yu did not answer him for a long time.

"I am actually in a hurry," Ning Wei said. She pointed a finger at the street. "If you had nothing to say, you should let me go. I have someplace to go."

Feng An Yu chuckled. His voice sounded deep and dangerous. "You recognized me," Feng An Yu pointed out as he leaned closer to Ning Wei. "Then, why are you pretending as if you don't?"
