Chapter 665 Such an outcome... She accepts it.
Shen Anning took a few steps back, clutching her aching abdomen as she slowly squatted down.
She lowered her head, tears falling.
"I understand." Shen Anning's voice was very soft. "Since he can live a better life by forgetting me, then I will not bother him anymore."
Luo Dongjin closed his eyes, ultimately unable to bear it.
But when he thought of Qi Yue being tormented by love and suffering from illness to the point of being neither human nor ghost, he hardened his heart again.
He opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry. I know that what I said today was very offensive and unfair to you. If Mr. Qi regains his memory in the future, I will confess to all the punishments for my actions that I took on my own initiative. But if Mr. Qi is like this, then you can consider it the end of your relationship."
“Okay.” Shen Anning didn’t look up, her voice still trembling with tears, but her tone was firm. “Uncle Luo, I know you did it for Qi Yue’s own good. I don’t blame you. It’s just that our fate was too shallow. It was also my fault for not being mature enough and causing Qi Yue so much pain. I accept this outcome.”
Looking at the girl squatting on the ground, Luo Dongjin felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He thought, if he got married and had children, his daughter would be about this age by now, how could he bear to do that!
But Shen Anning has a strong and cheerful personality, and she has so many family and friends who love her. She is much happier than Qi Yue. These painful days will soon pass.
But Qi Yue is different; he has always been too reserved and sensible since childhood...
Luo Dongjin still feels lingering fear when he recalls the file folder he left in the safe.
He took a deep breath and finally said, "Miss Shen, we've been keeping Mr. Qi's illness a secret from his elders. But after that car accident, Mr. Qi was in critical condition for a time. I could only tell President Han. Out of respect for Mr. Qi's wishes, President Han is still keeping it a secret from both President Ming and the elders of both Han and Qi's families. So, Miss Shen, I hope you can also help keep it a secret. President Ming's health has been poor in recent years, and President Han and Mr. Qi are afraid that if she finds out, she will worry and it will put a strain on her health."
“I will.” Shen Anning nodded. “Uncle Luo, you can go now. I want to be alone.”
"Alright, Miss Shen, I'll go find Mr. Qi now. Take good care of yourself from now on."
The footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Shen Anning could no longer hold back, clutching her stomach and collapsing to the ground in pain.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and beneath her, a glaring red stain gradually spread...
…
Five years later, in the northern part of the city.
As Shen Anning left the courtroom, the first snow of the year began to fall.
She was still wearing her lawyer's coat, carrying a briefcase, holding her phone to her ear in one hand, and her high heels clicked as she walked quickly down the steps toward the parking lot.
The woman was tall and slender, with her cool brown collarbone-length hair fluttering freely in the wind and snow.
She walked up to the white Panamera, unlocked the door, tossed her briefcase onto the passenger seat, and then bent down to get in.
The car door closes, and Bluetooth automatically connects.
Shen Anning put on her Bluetooth headset and tossed her phone onto the center console.
Chu Yuke was still complaining in the earphone, "My good junior sister, please help me this once, if you help me this time, I will pay with three lawsuits for free!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Anning raised an eyebrow.
How could Chu Yuke, who values money above all else, actually offer to fight a lawsuit for free?
She took off her lawyer's coat and threw it into the back seat, then picked up a bag from the passenger seat and put on an oatmeal gray coat.
During this process, she didn't forget to bargain with her good senior: "Five lawsuits."
"Five shows?!" Chu Yuke roared on the other end of the phone, "Shen Anning is a rich heiress who doesn't lack money. How can you take advantage of her misfortune like this?"
"Can't a rich heiress love money?" Shen Anning shifted gears, lightly pressed the accelerator, and turned the steering wheel with one hand. "Chu Yuke, I'm out of court now."
The implication was that she was going back to the law firm.
Over there, Chu Yuke gritted her teeth: "Fine! Five dates it is! But let's make it clear first, you absolutely have to ruin this blind date, okay?"
"How exactly do you intend to sabotage things?" Shen Anning gazed ahead, her exquisite and beautiful face expressionless. "For example, if the other party is too difficult to deal with, could I resort to some violent means?"
"Violence is fine too, but let's make it clear first, you'll pay for the medical expenses!"
Shen Anning smiled slightly, "I don't usually do things that hurt the enemy a thousand while hurting myself eight hundred."
"Alright, alright, don't I know you well enough?" Chu Yuke laughed on the other end of the line. "If I didn't distrust others, I really wouldn't have chosen you. With that face of yours, which blind date wouldn't be tempted?"
“You can be more optimistic.” Shen Anning glanced at the rearview mirror and turned smoothly, saying, “Maybe the other person is face-blind.”
Chu Yuke: "..."
...
Shen Anning arrived at the coffee shop where Chu's mother and the blind date man had agreed to meet.
It's a newly opened coffee shop on the downtown commercial street.
Chu Yuke said that the man she was set up with was the son of a college friend of her mother. His surname was Jiang, he was 28 years old, a local of Beicheng, and ran a horse farm in a newly developed resort in the suburbs of Beicheng. He was said to be very good in all aspects, and he was only two years younger than Chu Yuke, so their ages were very compatible.
For the past week, Chu's mother has called her three times a day, repeatedly urging Chu Yuke to meet this Mr. Jiang no matter what.
Chu Yuke was of course unwilling. She was a hardcore romantic, and from childhood to adulthood, she could only see Xie Xu as one man. Even though Xie Xu had never given her a response over the years, she still held on to her beliefs.
Shen Anning often teased her, saying, "If you used the same willpower you have for Xie Xu to fight cases, you could definitely become the next generation's invincible female lawyer!"
But she didn't fare well, because Chu Yuke would retort mercilessly, "So you've never lost a case since you entered the industry, did you use that incredible willpower that you have to bear heartbreak alone?"
Look, they are both goddesses of pure love, which is why they were able to go from disliking each other at the beginning to becoming partners now.
Welcome to Youyuan Coffee!
The waitress's clear and enthusiastic voice pulled Shen Anning back to reality from her thoughts.
She paused, put her hands in her coat pockets, and glanced around the coffee shop with a cool gaze before finally looking at the young waitress who came forward to greet her.
Where is number 28?
The waitress said, "It was reserved for the 28th, was it you who made the reservation?"
"No, it was the person who contacted me who made the reservation."
"Okay, ma'am, please follow me..."
Shen Anning followed the waitress to seat number 28 by the window.
After sitting down, she glanced at the time; there were still five minutes until the agreed time.
She glanced out the window but didn't see any suspicious individuals.
King of timing?
She asked the waitress to bring her a glass of warm lemon water.
The lemonade was brought over, and Shen Anning glanced at the time again.
It has been more than five minutes.
Mr. Jiang is late.
She picked up her lemonade and leisurely took a few sips, thinking to herself, "I'll use being late as an excuse to really make a scene later..."
However, it was her first blind date, and she was even helping someone else with it, with the intention of ruining the date. She clearly lacked experience.
Forget it, I'll just look up some information online!
Shen Anning put down her water glass, opened Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform), and typed in 'Top 10 Blind Date Women Who Make Men Extremely Drowsy...'
You won't believe it until you investigate, and what a shocking revelation it is!
Shen Anning was engrossed in watching when someone suddenly sat down in the seat opposite her.
The man sat down, his narrow eyes fixed on the woman opposite him who was engrossed in looking at her phone, his gaze as deep as a still pool.
After waiting a moment, seeing that the woman still showed no intention of looking up, the man's thin lips curled slightly.
He raised his hand, his slender fingers curled up, and his knuckles tapped lightly twice on the table.
Knock knock.
Shen Anning paused, then looked up—
The next instant, her pupils widened.
Qi, Qi Yue?
