Summer Kiss

Chapter 4 An Unexpected Surprise

"Yu Ning, give it a try. This is my third time at this bar. The fruit wine here is definitely one of the best in Haicheng. It's smooth and sweet, and unforgettable."

Jiang Yuning chuckled softly. She rarely came to bars and seldom drank fruit wine. She asked uncertainly, "Is it as delicious as you described?"

She lowered her head and took a small sip, discovering that it actually tasted quite good.

Seeing that Jiang Yuning had taken a few sips, Meng Shuyu began to get down to business.

“Yu Ning, you know that Qin Susu is our CFO’s niece. Her name is on the list for this exchange meeting. She must have gotten in through connections. We’re still young, and we’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future.”

Jiang Yuning nodded. She already knew why Meng Shuyu had brought her here, and she was worried that Meng Shuyu was in a bad mood.

"Shuyu, thank you. I know about the list. It wasn't our turn this time, but it will definitely be our turn next time."

After taking a sip of fruit wine, Meng Shuyu continued, "Actually, the list doesn't matter. The most important thing is this invitation. If we can get the invitation through other channels, we can still go. The key is who is willing to pay to send out the invitation? Isn't that obviously a fool?"

Jiang Yuning smiled and continued, following Meng Shuyu's words: "What if there really are such people in the world? It's not next month yet, so we all have a chance. I'll ask my other friends later to see if we can get one."

Meng Shuyu had given up hope of receiving an invitation to the exchange meeting. She sighed, "You said the same thing last year. Have you made more friends this year?"

For some reason, Jiang Yuning suddenly thought of someone, Fu Xicheng, whom she had only met once yesterday.

She rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

At that moment, why would she think of him, a complete stranger, someone she might never see again in her life?

She still hasn't deleted him from WeChat, but she'll definitely delete him when she gets home tonight.

Meng Shuyu leaned over and pinched Jiang Yuning's cheek.

"Yu Ning, tell me the truth, were you thinking about men just now? I called you several times and you didn't answer."

Jiang Yuning opened her mouth slightly, leaning against the bar, her gaze fixed on the dance floor not far away.

"Shuyu, I was just thinking about the invitation. Even if I were thinking about men, I don't have any men to think about."

Meng Shuyu smiled, then suddenly spotted a man. She quickly turned around and whispered, "Yu Ning, my brother is here too. Turn around slowly and see if he's left. If he catches me here, I'm doomed."

As soon as Meng Shuyu finished speaking, a cold hand was placed on the back of her neck.

Meng Shuyu was still covering her face, seemingly unaware that there was another person next to her.

"Yu Ning, why are your hands so cold?"

Jiang Yuning smiled faintly and shrugged helplessly, "That's your brother's hand."

Meng Shuyu: "..."

Before Meng Shuyu could even put up any resistance, her brother grabbed her clothes and dragged her out of the Twilight Bar.

Jiang Yuning chuckled softly. She glanced at her watch and realized it was getting late. She picked up her phone and prepared to leave.

Stepping out of the Twilight Bar, Jiang Yuning, with her excellent memory, quickly found where she had parked.

She fastened her seatbelt, but before she had fully driven out of the parking space, her rear was hit by another car.

Jiang Yuning sighed. This car was definitely trying to grab a parking space, but there was no need to be in such a hurry. She hadn't even completely driven the car out of the parking space yet.

She got out of the car, and the man driving behind her also got out.

When Jiang Yuning saw the man's face clearly, she was stunned.

"It's you." Fu Xicheng's handsome face showed a hint of surprise when he saw Jiang Yuning. "Miss Jiang, we meet again. I'm sorry, I take full responsibility for what happened today."

"You're in too much of a hurry. If you had hit someone else today, that person would probably have cursed you to death."

Fu Xicheng lowered his head, a sly glint in his eyes. Just as Jiang Yuning had expected, he was simply too hasty.

Just half an hour ago, Lu Zhiqian messaged him to say that Jiang Yuning was at Twilight Bar, so he left his friends who were having dinner there and drove over to Twilight Bar.

I wanted to see Jiang Yuning soon and have an unexpected encounter with her.

Now, his car crashed into hers, and they met head-on.

Fu Xicheng quickly admitted his mistake, "Yes, yes, I was too hasty, Miss Jiang, it's all my fault."

Jiang Yuning was about to say something, but her gaze seemed to catch something, and she froze on the spot, not even noticing Fu Xicheng walking up to her.

Fu Xicheng came to Jiang Yuning's side. Today, Jiang Yuning was wearing a light purple dress, and her long black hair was draped over her waist. She looked bright and charming.

Fu Xicheng glanced discreetly in the direction where Jiang Yuning was lost in thought, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Ms. Jiang, I am fully responsible. You don’t need to worry about my car. I noticed you were staring at my car earlier. Is there a problem?”

Jiang Yuning touched her head, realizing that she had been out of sorts.

"Excuse me, Mr. Fu, your car window was open, and I happened to glance at it and saw an invitation on the passenger seat."

Fu Xicheng raised an eyebrow, quickly concealing a smile in his eyes. He bent down and got into the passenger seat, picked up an invitation from the passenger seat, leaned back against the car window, and waved the invitation in his hand.

"Is this the invitation you're referring to, Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Yuning stared at the invitation with shining eyes. She nodded, her gaze never wavering.

Fu Xicheng handed the invitation to Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning looked carefully at the invitation in her hand. She was right; it was indeed an invitation to the International Designers Exchange Conference. The invitation she had been longing for was now in her hands.

How could Jiang Yuning not be overjoyed?

Fu Xicheng's smile deepened, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Miss Jiang seems to really like this invitation."

Jiang Yuning pursed her lips, realizing that her behavior was abnormal, and quickly returned the invitation to its rightful owner.

“Mr. Fu, this invitation is something every designer dreams of.”

Fu Xicheng glanced at the invitation. He hadn't known how to send it out before, but now he had a solution.

He casually asked, "Is Ms. Jiang a designer?"

Jiang Yuning nodded, knowing that the invitation was very valuable, but it was not something she could have.

She said simply and clearly, "I am indeed a designer, Mr. Fu. You see, it's getting late. Let's go to the insurance company first."

Fu Xicheng nodded and quickly made a phone call.

A few minutes later.

Fu Xicheng spoke first, "Miss Jiang, would you like this invitation? If you do, I can give it to you as compensation for hitting your car."
