Chapter 297: Chapter 302: Wholeheartedly Convinced
Sheng Ning had come out on a whim and hadnât put on a coat, only a red sweater.
Standing in the snow field, she was as beautiful as a painting.
Meng Ping was smoking, feeling quite agitated. Hearing someone talking, he turned his head to look and was stunned for a moment.
It took him a few seconds to regain his senses, and when he saw Sheng Ning wearing just a sweater, he didnât say another word and took off his black coat to drape it over her.
âYou out of your mind? Itâs so cold, and you didnât think to wear more clothes? Or is it that you were so eager to see me?â A devilish, teasing smile played across Meng Pingâs handsome face.
After he finished speaking and draped the coat over her, Meng Ping shook his head and came completely to his senses.
What had he done?
He wished he could slap himself. He was supposed to come here to reprimand this wretched girl, so why the hell did he give her his coat? He was cold without his coat, too.
Meng Ping cursed and despised himself inwardly, but he didnât think about taking the coat back.
Although he hadnât thought about it, Sheng Ning would not accept his kind gesture. The coat on her shoulders still carried Meng Pingâs warmth, a scorching heat that could burn her.
âShut up! Donât flatter yourself.â Sheng Ning said coldly, brushing off Meng Pingâs hand aside, and eagerly returning the coat to him.
Her repulsion toward Meng Ping was even greater than toward Shen Jianguo.
âWhat are you doing?â Meng Pingâs face turned icy in an instant, looking terrifyingly chilling. âDo you despise me, Meng Ping, and prefer the âLiving Yamaâ?â
âThatâs right! Compared to Xu Qigang, youâre lacking, not just by a hundred thousand but by a million times.â Sheng Ning had always been calm until Meng Ping broke that calm. She tried desperately to avoid him, determined not to have any involvement with him in this lifetime.
Why did things often develop in an unexpected direction?
âYouâŠâ Nobody had ever dared to speak to Meng Ping like that. He was so angry that he raised his fist high in the air.
Sheng Ning was not one to show weakness, proudly tilting her chin up and displaying her most perfect profile.
âIf you dare, then hit me! After all, you, Meng Ping, have hit women before.â She had endured slaps from him in her past life, and even if he hit her now, she, Sheng Ning, could bear it.
Meng Pingâs hands were long and attractive, pale and even more delicate than a womanâs. When he clenched his fist tight, his knuckles turned white from the exertion.
Sheng Ning looked at his fist unflinchingly, her exquisite face perhaps pale from the cold, but it evoked a touch of pity. Yet her eyes seemed to blaze with flames that could burn away all of Meng Pingâs arrogance to ashes.
He lowered his raised fist powerlessly.
âYou⊠youâre really something. I, Meng Ping, am thoroughly convinced.â
âDonât let me see you again!â Sheng Ning said harshly, turning her head to see the young girl watching her with a timid and complex gaze.
âComrade, please donât do such things in the future.â Leaving the warning behind, Sheng Ning strode away, completely indifferent to how ugly Meng Pingâs expression had become.
âDamn it!â Meng Ping punched the trunk of a fir tree, as snowflakes fluttered down from the branches, shadowing his handsome face with gloom.
âBrotherâŠâ The little girl shivered with fear.
âThis has nothing to do with you, go back!â he said.
âOkay!â The little girl nodded, gathering her courage to say, âYou should go back, too!â
âRight!â He had indeed dillydallied too long; if he didnât return now, the family would come looking for him.
Before leaving, Meng Ping took one last look at training room number one, his deep eyes burning with an eerie flame.
The more she behaved like this, the more he was determined to have her.
