Ning Wei did not answer immediately when she heard Feng An Yu's request.
On other occasions, she was happy to give a lift to someone she knew. But then, she had another place she needed to be.
If she arrived late, her employer would be unhappy, and Fu Ming Shi would also scold her.
"Where are you heading?" Ning Wei asked after a brief hesitation.
"Phoenix Pharmaceutical," Feng An Yu said. "It's on Eleventh Street."
Ning Wei pulled off her gloves before reaching for her phone in her pocket. She typed the company into the search bar to figure out the location.
"If it's inconvenient…" Feng An Yu said. He could tell that Ning Wei had another place to go.
Feng An Yu was in a hurry, but he was not going to make things difficult for Ning Wei.
"Alright," Ning Wei said before Feng An Yu could finish his sentence. Her expression loosened up when she saw that the place was not too far away from her destination. " I can give you a lift. It's on my way." She slid the phone back into her pocket and nodded to Feng An Yu.
"Mr. Ning, thank you." Assistant Xiao Jin looked relieved.
Worried that either Ning Wei or his boss would change their mind, Assistant Xiao Jin quickly reached for Feng An Yu's briefcase in the back seat. "Mr. Feng, you should leave now before it's too late. Don't worry about me here. I'll wait for the tow truck to arrive."
"Let's go." Ning Wei said. Without waiting for Feng An Yu to respond, she turned around, heading to her bike, which she parked on the side road.
In just seconds, Feng An Yu managed to catch up with Ning Wei with his long legs.
"Why did you stop and help?" Feng An Yu asked. "You could leave and pretend as if you don't know me."
Feng An Yu could still remember the time he went to Ning Wei's apartment. They ran into each other at the entrance, and Ning Wei was pretending as if she did not know him.
He thought that Ning Wei would definitely ignore him again this time. Unexpectedly, she stopped to ask what went wrong.
"You looked like you were in trouble," Ning Wei said.
Feng An Yu raised a brow, thinking that Ning Wei's reason was too simple.
"Last time, you helped me find a trustworthy workshop," Ning Wei said. "That owner gave me a huge discount because he thinks that we are friends." She turned to Feng An Yu and smiled. "I can't just ignore you again when I see you. This is not our first encounter. I'm guessing that we are fated to be friends?"
Feng An Yu pursed his lips. "Is there something you want from me?"
His question made Ning Wei pause. Then, she let out a chuckle once she was able to compose her thoughts.. "Don't get me wrong." Ning Wei stopped on her track as they had reached her bike. She took a helmet and tossed it to Feng An Yu. Watching him catch the helmet effortlessly with one hand made her raise a brow.
Ning Wei was impressed. Especially when she realized that she had casually tossed the helmet without warning.
Of course, as someone who played basketball in the past, Feng An Yu would be able to catch the helmet without any problem. However, Ning Wei did not know that Feng An Yu used to play basketball a lot.
"Mr. Feng, I know that you are someone with some influence," Ning Wei said. "But I don't need anything from you." She recalled her words to Feng An Yu earlier and shook her head lightly. "It's fine if you don't consider me a friend."
Ning Wei's words made Feng An Yu feel a bit uneasy.
He didn't mean that he did not want to befriend Ning Wei. But Feng An Yu did not know how he should explain to Ning Wei.
"Let's not talk about this now." Ning Wei took her helmet and put it on. "Aren't you in a hurry? Put on your helmet. I don't want to get a summons from the police later."
Feng An Yu glanced at the helmet in his hand before putting it on. He watched as Ning Wei climbed on the bike and noticed that it was the same bike she had taken to the workshop previously. "I see that your bike is all fixed."
"Hmm…" Ning Wei flashed a lopsided smile. "I have to thank you for introducing that workshop. The mechanics were quick with their hands. I thought that it would be a while before I got my baby back."
Feng An Yu raised a brow when he heard Ning Wei referring to her bike as her baby.
The engine roared.
Feng An Yu climbed up the bike and held the briefcase in his hand tightly on his chest.
Ning Wei immediately noticed that something was wrong when Feng An Yu hopped on. His body was too stiff.
"You don't usually travel on a bike, do you?" Ning Wei asked.
"No." Feng An Yu frowned. "This is my first time."
Ning Wei laughed.
"What's wrong?" The Young Master was not happy to hear someone laughing at him.
"Nothing." Ning Wei shook her head. "You're too stiff. Mr. Feng, you should relax for a bit. Or else, it would be difficult for me."
Feng An Yu did not know how he should relax. Right now, he was slowly regretting his decision to accept Ning Wei's help. He did not know if riding a bike would be safe. He thought that the back was a bit too high. The seat was a bit slanted, making his body and thigh against Ning Wei's body.
"I promise I will send you to your location safely." Ning Wei smirked. "Alright. Hold on tight."
Feng An Yu held his briefcase tighter.
Ning Wei controlled the clutch and shifted the gear before the bike moved forward.
The sudden speed made Feng An Yu gasp.
Without giving any thought, he released one hand from his bike to hold Ning Wei's waist.
