Chapter 481 Finding a Way Out



"Shut up!"

Clearly, Qing Ning didn't want to talk to Xia Che at this moment. Her fair skin had turned completely black, her eyes were purple, and two goat horns had sprouted from her head.

He actually managed to turn the sweet girl into a Western devil.

Qing Ning bypassed Xia Che, her eyes flashing with a murderous red light as she fixed them on Wu Qi En, as if she wanted to devour him.

Xia Che jolted and immediately shut his mouth.

to be honest……

He never falls for women's tricks, and he's quite shrewd in his actions, never indulging women.

Do women have tempers?

He has one too, and his temper is even worse than a woman's.

Isn't it just being dramatic?

Who doesn't know how?

Xia Che understood deeply that he should not spoil women too much. After all, he had no leverage over them, so why should he let them manipulate him?

Xia Che has always done this; when a woman throws a tantrum, he throws one too, his motto being "never tolerating her."

But now...

Xia Che really didn't dare to do it again.

Although he doesn't indulge women, he is reasonable.

If you put yourself in their shoes, imagine a childhood friend telling others that they don't remember anything from their childhood...

These words happened to be overheard.

I'm afraid anyone would have exploded in that situation, right?

"Lime, calm down. Everyone's memory is different. It's understandable that Che-ge's memory is a little worse. After all, only things that are very important to people can better stimulate the cerebral cortex and thus be remembered firmly."

Wu Qi'en cautiously looked at Qing Ning, who was radiating murderous intent, his mind a complete mess, still unable to understand why she was so angry.

He did exactly what Qing Ning suggested, so how... how did he end up coming after him?

Even if you're going to get angry, you should direct it at Xia Che, right?

What does this have to do with me...?

For no apparent reason, Wu Qi'en had a vague feeling that he had done something stupid.

Did you try to flatter someone but ended up hurting them?

Can……

That doesn't make sense.

She had simply followed Qing Ning's lead, helping her see just how awful Xia Che was. Logically, she should feel more relieved than angry, right? Relieved that she had seen through his true colors in time...

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, Qingning is furious. She wants to vent her anger and get revenge for trusting the wrong person.

Why shouldn't they target themselves?

Xia Che is right in front of you, why don't you go find him...go find me?

What did I do?

Lime's anger seemed to solidify, even affecting the surrounding environment.

The entire room fell silent.

Almost everyone who came to the housewarming party was present at this small after-dinner reception.

Those friends who were on good terms with Wu Qi'en stared in disbelief.

Mu Yingying was somewhat dumbfounded.

She clearly hadn't expected that Qing Ning, who had such a good temperament and was so cute, could be so terrifying when she got angry.

"clown……"

Li Junyang scoffed at the noise around him, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Xia Che.

Li Junyang was used to this kind of behavior—always trying to attract attention with quirky antics.

Only a clown like Xia Che would think that his way of attracting attention is special.

He's just an idiot.

He picked up a glass of green cocktail, swirled it slightly in his hand, and then took a sip. With the lemon slices hanging on the glass as cover, his gaze toward the lime was intense and undisguised.

This tomboy from childhood has grown up to be so handsome; every feature of his face fits Li Junyang's aesthetic perfectly.

Having always been powerless against beautiful women, he naturally developed other thoughts as well.

However, it's definitely not possible today. Mu Yingying was brought by me, and it would be counterproductive to expose my desire for Qing Ning too early, leaving the easy target untouched.

Li Junyang plans to take it slow.

None of his prey have ever managed to escape.

"This wine...why does it taste so strange?"

Li Junyang put aside his thoughts and looked at the cocktail in his hand with a puzzled expression.

Then he turned his head and glanced at the others. Cocktails are, by their very nature, specialty drinks. The color you want is entirely up to the bartender. Li Junyang wasn't interested in any of that. As long as it tasted good, the color didn't matter.

but……

Why am I the only one who is green?

Looking at the cocktails in the hands of the others, which were either blue or yellow, Li Junyang was completely baffled as to why none of them were the same green color as his own.

Is it a coincidence?

...

The three people who had attracted everyone's attention were still continuing.

Qing Ning finally spoke, and her terrifying appearance still made the others afraid to look directly at her, lest they get into trouble.

"Is that so... Regardless of whether his memory is bad or not, your ability to kick someone when they're down is truly impressive. Do you think I can't see it? You've repeatedly dug pits for Xia Che, leading him to run into my trigger points. Wu Qi'en, you're amazing."

"What grudge does Xia Che have against you? This is the first time you've met, right? And you're going to betray him like this? You're trying to ruin him... all for your despicable purpose?"

"Even at this point, you still won't let go of the opportunity to kick me when I'm down. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that Xia Che has a bad memory? Or are you trying to tell me... that he doesn't care at all about our childhood experiences? Is that what you mean, trying to ruin Xia Che's image in my mind?"

Qing Ning looked coldly at Wu Qi En. As she spoke, Wu Qi En's face turned pale at an alarming speed. In his excitement, he almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.

Cold sweat covered Wu Qi'en's forehead, making his voice involuntarily dry.

What should I say?

What should I say in a situation like this?

My mind went completely blank; I couldn't think of a single word.

Shut up, move!

Wu Qi'en, who always prided himself on being a "strategist" and a "clear-headed person," suddenly realized his lack of intelligence at this moment.

He never imagined that Qing Ning's indulgence just now was an attempt to trick him into revealing information about Xia Che.

Instead of kicking someone when they're down!

Clearly, the answer Qingning received was not what she wanted.

But if things only went this far, Wu Qi'en felt there was still room for maneuver. After all, according to his guess, Xia Che and Qing Ning's relationship wasn't that good yet, so if he sabotaged things a little, he could easily take advantage of the situation.

but……

He was wrong again.

Qing Ning didn't get the answer she wanted, but her solution wasn't to confront Xia Che, nor to break up with him, but rather...

He stood up for Xia Che in public.

Suddenly, I became the victim, caught and given a severe scolding.

This is fucking...

Wu Qi'en was on the verge of tears.
