...

On the other side.

It took Jiang Ning nearly half an hour to calm herself down. She washed her face with cold water, removed her makeup, and then used powder to cover her red eyes, making her look less haggard.

She told the staff following her, "Don't tell Zhuang Yan about what I just did on live stream."

The staff didn't understand, but they respected it.

But with the matter escalating so much, even if they don't say anything, Zhuang Yan will hear about it from others.

At this time, Zhuang Yan was still unaware of what had happened. After waiting for Jiang Ning in the restaurant for half an hour, he went to the milk tea shop next door, ordered a hot drink, and sat in the shop enjoying the air conditioning while continuing to wait.

During the waiting process, he was stared at and scrutinized from time to time, but he didn't take it to heart.

Just as the staff were hesitating whether to call Jiang Ning to urge her, Jiang Ning returned.

The redness on her skin could be covered with powder, but the redness in her eyes was impossible to hide; it was obvious at a glance that she had been crying.

"Have you been waiting long? Let's go to the next place." Jiang Ning smiled, calm as if nothing had happened.

She led the way casually, saying as she walked, "I saw a lot of craft shops over there, which looked quite interesting. We can do some crafts this afternoon, or go to the mall to see a movie, and then grab something to eat nearby. Let's skip the spicy food tonight, it's bad for our stomachs..."

Zhuang Yan, who had a bellyful of words of comfort, found himself at a loss for words.

Along the way, the atmosphere became strange, as if the two people who knew the truth were pretending to be at peace in order to maintain a superficial harmony.
