Chapter 889 won't happen, will it?
Tao Yang thought to himself, "Sure enough, it's exactly what I expected."
But after thinking about it, he felt something was off, and he asked curiously, "Boyan, didn't he tell you anything else?"
Qiao Xing looked at him strangely and asked, "What did you say?"
That's not right.
According to his understanding, Shen Boyan's reaction to knowing that Qiao Xing was going to the capital was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Perhaps he's mistaken.
Shen Boyan had absolutely no romantic feelings for Qiao Xing.
Tao Yang was about to gossip a bit when he looked up and saw Shen Boyan coming out of his office.
He quickly shut his mouth and said to Qiao Xing, "It's nothing, I'll go take care of my work now."
Qiao Xing was baffled.
He turned his head and his eyes met Shen Boyan's.
She smiled, but Shen Boyan didn't react and turned to go to the tea room.
Qiao Xing frowned in confusion.
Why are all these people acting so strangely today?
When Qiao Xing got off work that evening, he wanted to treat everyone to dinner.
Because she wasn't sure when she would return to Chongqing, she thought she would get together with everyone before she left.
Qiao Xing had asked Qin Ce about this beforehand.
Qin Ce indicated that he had no objection.
He knew that if it was time to eat, Shen Boyan would definitely go too.
Although he was very bothered by this matter, once he got to the capital, he wouldn't be able to see him anymore, so Qin Ce didn't bother to dwell on it for a day or two.
Qiao Xing invited everyone to dinner, and everyone was happy to go, except for Shen Boyan.
When Qiao Xing told him, he said, "I have something to do tonight, so I probably can't go."
Everyone was there except for Shen Boyan, which Qiao Xing found a bit of a pity, but she didn't insist. "Alright then."
Just then, Shen Boyan's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at it, but didn't answer. Instead, he said to the others, "I'm leaving now."
Shen Boyan answered the phone just as they were about to enter the elevator.
The people behind him didn't know who he was talking to on the phone, but they vaguely heard him say, "I'll be there soon."
Tao Yang seemed to smell gossip in the air. "He won't even go to dinner when Qiao Xing invited him. Could Bo Yan be acting all mysterious because he has a plan?"
Sun Miao also peeked out and looked in the direction Shen Boyan had left, "I also think, what do you guys think, that he and Sheng Yao won't end up together?"
Tao Yang shook his head. "I think it's unlikely. Bo Yan has never been interested in her, so how could they get together so quickly?"
Qiao Xing looked at the two of them gossiping with a bit of helplessness, "Even if he is pregnant, it's a good thing. You can just wish him well and do what's best for him. Stop talking, are you going to eat?"
Tao Yang quickly said, "Go, go! I'm starving! Let's go!"
The person who called Shen Boyan was none other than Sheng Yao.
Shen Boyan told her to wait for him in the square, but he didn't say what time it would be. Sheng Yao couldn't stay at home, so she arrived more than an hour early.
As it grew darker, Sheng Yao was afraid that Shen Boyan wouldn't come, so she cautiously made a phone call to him.
After confirming that Shen Boyan would be coming, Sheng Yao found a chair in the square, sat down, and obediently waited for Shen Boyan to arrive.
The square is very close to the commercial street, so it is always very lively every night.
Sheng Yao's gaze kept darting through the crowd, trying to find Shen Boyan's figure.
However, half an hour passed, and Shen Boyan still hadn't arrived.
Sheng Yao thought that he must have been stuck in traffic or something had happened to him.
Another half hour passed, and the people in the square gradually went home. The temperature in the air dropped a lot, and Sheng Yao couldn't help but shrink her neck.
She looked around again, but still couldn't find Shen Boyan.
Sheng Yao pouted in disappointment.
Could Shen Boyan be lying to him?
Sheng Yao quickly shook her head, trying to banish the thought from her mind.
Sheng Boyan wouldn't be that kind of person, and he had no reason to lie to her.
However, Shen Boyan did not appear for a long time, and Sheng Yao was still a little sad.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name.
"Sheng Yao".
It was Shen Boyan's voice.
Sheng Yao suddenly raised her head, and at that instant, countless fireworks burst in the sky, their light illuminating everyone's face.
Shen Boyan stood not far away, his figure flickering in and out of focus as the fireworks burst forth.
Sheng Yao felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes gradually became moist.
She stood up almost without hesitation, ran towards Shen Boyan, and hugged him tightly.
At this moment, if things were to unfold according to those romantic scenarios, the two would definitely embrace, and then the male protagonist would kiss the female protagonist.
But Sheng Yao knew that Shen Boyan would not hug her, much less kiss her.
They are also not the male and female protagonists in those romantic idol dramas.
Despite this, Sheng Yao was still very content. She was satisfied to have experienced something like this even once in her life.
Fireworks are beautiful when they bloom, but they disappear in the blink of an eye.
Once everything around them quieted down, Shen Boyan patted Sheng Yao's shoulder, reminding her that she could relax.
Sheng Yao belatedly realized what was happening and quickly released Shen Boyan, her cheeks burning.
"Are you satisfied?" Shen Boyan asked.
Sheng Yao nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied! Very satisfied! The fireworks were absolutely gorgeous! They're the best fireworks I've ever seen in my life!"
When Sheng Yao spoke, her eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
She wasn't lying at all; this fireworks display was something she would remember for a lifetime.
Especially when she looked up and saw Shen Boyan standing under the fireworks, at that moment, everything and everyone in the world seemed to dim.
Sheng Yao was still immersed in her joy and hadn't recovered yet.
However, the next second, Shen Boyan said rather insensitively, "It's getting late, let's go back to sleep."
Sheng Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed him, "You...you're leaving already?"
"Otherwise what?" Shen Boyan glanced at her. "What else do you want to do?"
Sheng Yao grew anxious. "Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
He took the initiative to invite her to dinner and even came to set off fireworks for her. Even if it wasn't a confession, he should at least have said something that would take their relationship to the next level.
Shen Boyan didn't stop walking, and asked her as he went, "What do you want to hear?"
Sheng Yao wanted to hear a lot, but Shen Boyan might not be able to tell her.
She ran up to him and opened her arms to block him.
"I just want to know, do you like me or not?"
"I've already addressed this issue before."
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. I've been in Chongqing for so long, haven't your feelings for me changed at all?"
Shen Boyan answered directly, "No."
Actually, Shen Boyan's answer was quite normal, but the way he said it gave people a very cold feeling.
