Before Wang Qingge could think any further, Zhang Ruping spoke up.
"Xiao Wang, it's my treat tonight. How about I take you to the best dinner in the city?"
Zhang Ruping no longer looked down on Wang Qingge; she now only admired and liked her.
Upon hearing her words, Wang Qingge hesitated.
Han Zhixuan felt the same way. When she heard that her mother wanted to invite Wang Qingge to dinner, she gave a wry smile.
Instead of inviting Wang Qingge to dinner, why not invite him home?
Ask him to come home and cook for you yourself; that would be better than anything else.
Zhang Ruping simply hadn't tasted any of Wang Qingge's cooking, so she didn't know these things.
I believe it! If she had also eaten Wang Qingge's cooking, she probably wouldn't have said that now.
When Wang Qingge heard Zhang Ruping say that, he thought about it for a moment and then refused.
"No, Aunt Zhang, I think we should skip the dinner. Let's go another day. You've already gone to so much trouble for us today."
"It's no trouble at all. How can you say it's troublesome? What are you saying, Xiao Wang?"
Seeing Wang Qingge's refusal, Zhang Ruping felt a little uneasy.
She wondered if the other person knew her purpose for today, which was why they refused her.
If that's the case, wouldn't their relationship be doomed to decline in the future?
Therefore, Zhang Ruping must treat the other party to dinner tonight in order to ease the tension between them.
"Xiao Wang, it's okay. It's just an invitation to dinner. It's nothing. Aunt Zhang isn't going to eat you."
"What do you think? I think we should go! What do you say?"
Seeing that Zhang Ruping still said the same thing, Wang Qingge hesitated for a moment, because he felt that he had already troubled her enough today.
And most importantly, he was genuinely tired, so he didn't want to go out anymore.
The place he wants to go now is home, take a shower, and get a good night's sleep.
Thinking of all this, Wang Qingge once again firmly refused.
"Aunt Zhang, let's really forget about the meal! How about I treat you another day when I have time?"
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Unable to persuade Wang Qingge, Zhang Ruping had no choice but to ask her daughter for help.
"Xuanxuan, say something! Wang Qingge doesn't want to go eat."
Zhang Ruping thought that Wang Qingge might not have been willing to go because it wasn't her daughter who invited her.
To her surprise, Han Zhixuan did not choose to stand by her side this time.
"Mom! Wang Qingge is really tired today. As for the meal, let's listen to him and talk about it another day."
"What, Xuanxuan, you..."
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Zhang Ruping was truly at a loss for what to do.
Han Zhixuan felt very wronged when she rejected her mother's opinion.
Han Zhixuan's grievances stemmed from the fact that her mother had brought Wang Qingge to the party today in order to expose him.
If he weren't strong enough, Wang Qingge would have fallen for her mother's scheme long ago.
If that were true, Han Zhixuan herself found the thought terrifying. The image of Wang Qingge being exposed for her lies and being accused and humiliated flashed through her mind.
What is most hateful, and what Han Zhixuan cannot forgive herself for, is that she knew her mother's purpose from the beginning, but did not choose to stop her.
Instead, she let her mother take Wang Qingge to the party.
If it weren't for Wang Qingge's own strength, which allowed her to win two matches...
The outcome he faces today would probably be quite different.
That's why Han Zhixuan felt guilty and wronged towards Wang Qingge at this moment.
They had ulterior motives from the start; they brought people to the party hoping to see them make a fool of themselves.
Now that they've earned everyone's recognition through their own abilities, these people are starting to pretend to be good people.
Therefore, Han Zhixuan, having thought about all this, knew that she could not continue like this any longer.
She couldn't let her mother continue to deceive Wang Qingge; they had already gone too far today.
If she continues to deceive him, continues to pretend to be a good person, and invites him to dinner, then Han Zhixuan will definitely not be able to get over her own conscience.
Thinking about all this, her attitude became very firm.
Her weakness today almost ruined her mother's plans and nearly led to Wang Qingge's humiliation.
So this time, she absolutely will not let that happen again, even knowing that this time, her mother genuinely wants to invite the other party.
But she just couldn't get over the guilt she felt towards the other person.
"Mom, let's just forget about dinner. Wang Qingge is tired enough today, and I'd like to go back and rest too."
"Xuanxuan, what's wrong with you?"
When Zhang Ruping saw her daughter, she said the same thing, which puzzled her greatly.
I don't know why my daughter suddenly became so indifferent to Wang Qingge's matter.
When Wang Qingge saw that Han Zhixuan was also helping him, he quickly tried to persuade her as well.
"Aunt Zhang, you saw it all, right? Zhixuan is already exhausted today."
"So I think we should postpone the dinner for another day. Let's head back today."
When she saw both of them, they both refused and said the same thing. What could Zhang Ruping do by herself?
So in the end, they could only helplessly accept reality.
"Sigh, alright then! Since neither of you wants to go, then we won't go."
"Yes, yes!" Wang Qingge quickly nodded and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise to you and I won't forget it."
"I'll definitely treat you to a big meal another day."
"Alright, alright! Then Aunt Zhang will believe you."
Han Zhixuan only dared to ask after successfully persuading her mother.
"Qingge, shall we take you home first?"
"No, no need. Just stop at the subway station ahead. You don't need to trouble yourself to take me there."
When they offered to take him home, Wang Qingge instinctively refused, because there was a subway station not far ahead.
Han Zhixuan, who felt guilty towards Wang Qingge, didn't actually have much courage to send him back.
I even had an urge to leave him as soon as possible.
Because whenever she saw him, she would think of the things she wanted to do to him.
Therefore, Han Zhixuan truly hopes to leave him as soon as possible.
Therefore, when she heard Wang Qingge tell her to stop ahead, she immediately agreed.
"Alright! Let's do it here then."
She pulled over and stopped the car.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruping realized something was wrong, so this time she dared not make a fuss.
