Jin Yining was in a bad mood at the moment, and naturally, her temper wasn't much better either.
"She really believes you and I are having an affair? What, you actually want to have an affair with me?"
Qin Wei clicked his tongue. "Your Highness, have you abandoned your composure?"
Jin Yining was seething with anger and didn't bother to talk to him.
Shang Ning arrived early and ordered two milk teas, one strawberry and one lemon. He Zhiyan preferred the lemon one.
However, when it came time to place the order, Shang Ning changed both cups to the original flavor, and only after placing the order did she find a seat.
He Zhiyan saw her the moment he entered, pulled up a chair opposite her and sat down. "Why did you withdraw from the competition?"
He Zhiyan seemed even angrier than her; at this moment, he didn't even want to maintain the most basic manners.
Shang Ning pushed the milk tea over, leaned back in her chair, and looked at the person opposite her. "It's just that I lost the competition. A bet is a bet."
"That was just a joke, and that competition never even had a result," He Zhiyan said in a deep voice. "You shouldn't have given up. You knew perfectly well that you had the potential to represent the country..."
“Professor He, I think you’re meddling a bit too much.” Shang Ning smiled slightly. “I understand Professor He’s appreciation for talent, but how to choose is my own decision.”
“My mother has contacted you.”
Shang Ning tightened her grip on the milk tea, and some squeezed milk tea spilled out from the top of the straw. "Professor He, I think you've really misunderstood. Whether I participate in the competition or withdraw, it's all for Jin Yining."
"What did you say?" He Zhiyan's hand, which was resting on the table, slowly bulged with veins.
Shang Ning lowered her eyes, not daring to look at He Zhiyan, but some things had to be resolved, so Shang Ning looked up and faced He Zhiyan directly, "I am really grateful for Professor He's help during this time, but you should have heard about what happened between me and Jin Yining, and Professor He overestimated me. I don't have that ability, or rather, Professor He really thought I was the person you thought I was, but Professor He really mistook me for someone else, I'm sorry."
After Shang Ning finished speaking, he stood up, nodded slightly, and walked past him to leave.
He Zhiyan, what you deserve is a broader horizon, not being dragged down by me time and time again.
Perhaps back then, the one who should have stood at that highest point, shining brightly, was you, instead of always being my foil.
He Zhiyan remained seated without moving, and hot air rushed in after the milk tea shop door opened and closed.
As Shang Ning left the milk tea shop, a wave of heat hit her face. She pursed her lips slightly and looked at the people inside through the window.
"Shang Ning, hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Don't drag him into this." Shang Ning said softly, as Jin Yining's call came in.
Where are they?
Shang Ning: "..."
Why is that skinny boss so temperamental?
"What are your instructions, boss, on the way back?" Shang Ning asked with a forced smile, all her previous sorrow now replaced by a desire to tear the person on the other end of the phone apart.
"Buy some milk tea for the crew when you come back. I've transferred the money, and Yang Wen knows how many to buy." Jin Yining said and hung up the phone faster than a tornado.
"Sister-in-law, shall we go?" Brother Yang came over and asked.
Shang Ning held her phone. "Tell me, is murder illegal?"
Yang Ge exclaimed, and Shang Ning let out a soft cry. Does Jin Yining feel uncomfortable all over if he doesn't torment her for a day?
Sooner or later, she'll beat him until he's in so much pain.
