"Okay, come over when you're ready. There's a dinner appointment."
That's all Xie Ya wanted to say.
According to the schedule, Qi Luo has time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. It mainly depends on her own wishes, but fortunately, she has agreed to everything.
After Ning Qiluo finished preparing, she told Jiang Yingchi and went to the dinner party.
At the dinner party, everyone respected her, and Xie Ya hardly had to drink on her behalf.
The dinner was quite pleasant. After it ended, Ning Qiluo was slightly tipsy and was helped out by Xie Ya.
"Qi Luo, wait here for me for a minute, I'll go get the car."
Xie Ya told her that it was only a minute, and Ning Qiluo was only slightly drunk and still quite conscious.
Ning Qiluo nodded, wrapped her black down jacket tighter around herself, and felt goosebumps all over her body from the night wind. She hugged herself tightly and glanced around intentionally or unintentionally.
Just then, a car slowly pulled up to the side of the road, its body facing her.
The driver got out and opened the back door, and Ning Qiluo saw that pale, gentle profile...
...
After Xie Ya came out, she couldn't find Ning Qiluo anywhere. She assumed she was wandering around nearby and searched everywhere without success. Just as she was getting anxious, she saw a WeChat message—
Ning Qiluo: [Sister Xie Ya, I have to go now, don't worry.]
Xie Ya was relieved after seeing the message.
...
Jiang Yingchi returned home rather late today.
I contacted Ning Qiluo a few times during that period, and she said it would be a little later.
Jiang Yingchi offered to pick her up, but after a few minutes she replied. She declined, saying the dinner was over and she was on her way back.
So Jiang Yingchi, who had returned first, waited at home.
An hour passed while they waited.
An hour later, Jiang Yingchi called back, but the other party was unavailable to answer...
An apartment.
Both the decor and the furnishings clearly indicate that this is a new home.
Ning Qiluo was dining alone when Sheng Changxiu, sitting opposite her, smiled gently. "It seems you've been eating well lately. Tonight I've ordered all my favorite dishes, and I think you'll like them too. How are they? Do they suit your taste?"
Ning Qiluo nodded: "It's alright."
"That's good," Sheng Changxiu's smile was incredibly gentle. He picked up the food and placed it flat on the dining table, saying to Ning Qiluo, "I was worried that it wouldn't suit your taste."
Ning Qiluo put down her chopsticks.
Sheng Changxiu immediately asked, "Why aren't you eating?"
Ning Qiluo didn't want to pretend anymore. She didn't understand why Sheng Changxiu, who clearly hated her, always treated her with such a harmless and gentle demeanor and showed concern for her every time they met.
It can be said that Sheng Changxiu's strong inner resilience frightened Ning Qiluo.
"Can't you just say what you want to say? You invited me here and prepared this meal for me. Is your purpose to make me feel guilty and uneasy? If so, then you've really succeeded. Perhaps you'd rather I go insane because of your constant pressure?"
“Qi Luo,” Sheng Changxiu chuckled softly, “How could you think of me like that? Those things are all in the past now. Let’s not talk about them anymore.”
The more she acted this way, the more uncomfortable Ning Qiluo felt.
She has said countless times that this matter should end here.
The Qi family still protects the Sheng family and remains their support. What more does Sheng Changxiu want?!
"Sheng Changxiu, just tell me what you need. I can do anything for you. Or, what do you want?"
Ning Qiluo had no patience to deal with her.
"Qi Luo, in your eyes, is it that whenever I contact you, it's because I have something to do? Is that the kind of person you see me as?" Sheng Changxiu's eyes seemed to be wounded.
Ning Qiluo remained silent.
"Giggle..."
Sheng Changxiu suddenly let out a series of light, melodious laughs, and in her gentlest voice, she said, word by word, "Yes, I already have everything I want, but I'm still greedy and don't want to let you go. That's just how bad I am!"
