I Dont Want You to be in the Dark

"Xiaochun, it's like this. I'm at Jiajia Hospital, I don't know where you are." Xu Ning sat in the car with one hand on the window, looking lazily up at the sky that was dyed red by the setting sun.
"How did you know I was at Jiayu Hospital?" Zhou Man looked down. The streets were filled with people. Many of the office workers had just gotten off work.
At this time, in A city, it was the busiest time.
Xu Ning smiled, "It's not hard to know??" I have something I want to tell you. Come down and we'll find a place to sit."
"But??" Do you have something very important to do? " Zhou Manzhen frowned and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, very important." Xu Ningsheng nodded and said with absolute certainty.
"Okay, the back door of the hospital, walk forward for fifty meters. At a corner, there is a relatively quiet coffee shop called 'Time Opposite'. You go there and wait for me. I'll be there in ten minutes." Zhou Manzhen scratched his own hair, thinking, at this point, Jin Beiseng should be picking up Li Yi. She and Xu Ningsheng would go out to discuss some matters, and wouldn't delay anything.
"Mm. Alright." After hanging up, he immediately drove out of Jiayu Hospital and headed towards the coffee shop that Zhou Manzhen had mentioned.
Zhou Manzhen tidied up her clothes and hair. She put on her backpack and said, "Mom, I have some things to do so I need to go out. You stay here to watch Xiao Mo. I'll be back in about an hour."
"Hmm? What is it? It's time for di er." Zhao Lizi asked with a puzzled expression.
"I'll be back before di er." Zhou Manzhu said with a smile.
"Alright then. You can go. Come back as soon as you can." Zhao Lizi didn't ask where Zhou Manzhen was going or who she was meeting. Zhao Liqi was very open right now as this was all Zhou Manzhen's business. She shouldn't care so much. In the past, she just cared too much about Zhou Manzhen.
Zhou Manzhen smiled, and a beautiful figure slowly walked out of the Jianru hospital.
In the cafe across from the time.
This caf?? was indeed very quiet, but the expenses here weren't low. At the time, the cafe across the street mainly sold cat poop coffee, over 200 yuan for a cup of coffee. To Xu Ningsheng, this wasn't too expensive, and he had even drank a cup of thousands of yuan.
Zhou Weiqing looked through the window and saw Xu Ningsheng. She pushed open the door, and before long, she was in front of Xu Ningsheng.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time. In fact, ever since they came back from Zhou Weiqing's place, they hadn't even had a proper chat. It was as if they were already people from two different worlds.
Although he had risen to thirty this year, he was already the youngest Deputy Director of the Education Bureau. The outside world had a high opinion of him, saying that this young Deputy Director loved to work, and in short, had a wave of positive comments.
All these years, Xu Ningsheng had been single. He had no other women besides Ma Jing, but he and Ma Jing were still lacking in maturity. They were once first lovers, so they didn't have the urge to live together for the rest of their lives.
Until now, Ma Jing had always been very fond of Xu Ningsheng. She had already been forced into marriage by her family. At the age of twenty-nine, her family was going crazy with anxiety as they arranged many matchmaking partners for her.
The other side had a car and a room. He was a Turtle who had just returned from studying abroad and was currently working for the top 500 XX company in the world. He was the director of Greater China.
At the very least, you better hurry up and marry me, otherwise, I really will marry someone else. Xu Ningsheng's nonchalant attitude made Ma Jing a little unhappy, but Ma Jing refused to give up. Let's see who can endure this!
"He's coming." Xu Ningsheng raised his head to look at Zhou Manzhen. He greeted her with a friendly smile on his face, like a warm winter sun.
"En, Brother A'Sheng, long time no see." Zhou Manzhu also politely smiled and then sat down.
Xu Ningsheng helped Zhou Manjun order her favorite mocha in advance. After Zhou Manzhen sat down, the waiter walked over with two cups of fragrant hot coffee, and two cups of hot mocha were placed in front of them.
"Please enjoy." The waiter said with a smile.
Zhou Man glanced at the coffee cup on the table and said in a gentle voice, "Do you remember that I like drinking mocha?"
Xu Ningsheng pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "My memory is quite good."
In the blink of an eye, it had been three years since she last came here to drink coffee. In the past, when Zhou Manzhen was working at Jianru Hospital, she would occasionally come here to drink coffee with Jiang Jingqi. Because of the high coffee prices here, Jiang Jingqi always felt sorry for the money, so it was Zhou Manzhen who bought the coffee, making Jiang Jingqi feel very embarrassed.
"How have you been?" Zhou Manzhu asked with a smile. He picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip.
"Not good, not bad. I'm just a bit busy." Xu Ningsheng calmly glanced at Zhou Weiqing, making it hard for others to understand what he was thinking about.
No one could imagine what had happened to Xu Ningsheng, who had gone from an ordinary high school math teacher to the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau today. In the past, Jin Zhuwen had helped him enter the Education Bureau, but Xu Ningsheng had mostly relied on his own efforts.
During the three years that he had been in office, he had constantly been revising new mathematics textbooks and often worked alone in the office until midnight. During the three years that he had been in office, he constantly modified mathematics and often worked alone in the office until midnight.
"Brother A-Sheng, what do you want to talk about with me today?" Zhou Manzhu lowered her head and took another sip of coffee. Her eyes were deep as she slowly spoke.
"How are you and Jin Bei Sen recently?" Xu Ning Sheng asked with concern. His tone was neither salty nor indifferent, making it hard for people to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
"It's pretty good, what's the matter?" Zhou Manzhen asked after a moment of silence.
"Did he go to work today?" Xu Ningsheng smiled as he spoke, but there was a hint of ridicule in the smile on his face.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhou Manzhen was confused, not knowing what Xu Ningsheng wanted to say.
Why did he ask about Jin Beisan for no reason at all? Did he discover some secret?
"Xiaochun, what I want to say next might make you unhappy, but I still want to say this. I don't want you to be kept in the dark." Xu Ningsheng had an open and honest look on his face as he spoke in all seriousness.
