Chapter 367 Do you like me?
"It's true." Chen Shi said with a serious expression, "But it's not your fault, it's all part of the setup..."
She sighed softly: "And then... you were wearing a beautiful cheongsam, he was wearing a military uniform, he ran towards you through the smoke and fire, and you pulled out a pistol and shot him dead..."
Ye Qingning, who had been smiling, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest when she heard Chen Shi say that.
Heartbreaking.
Fragmented images flashed through my mind.
In the pavilion and small dwelling, a maid called out to her, "Miss, the general has come to the mansion to propose marriage."
She wore a pink dress and sneered, "I will never marry him. I'm going to enter the palace and become the Empress!"
Despite saying that, she felt waves of pain in her chest, as if the words she uttered were completely mechanical and beyond her brain's control.
The scene shifts to an elegant, dilapidated mansion from the Republican era. A maidservant comes to call her again: "Miss, Miss, the eldest son of the Lin family has come to propose marriage! He's brought a lot of jewelry..."
She was still dressed in a pink dress, a cold smile playing on her lips: "There's no way I'll marry him. I'm going to marry the Marshal!"
She said the same uncontrollable words, then clutched her chest, her eyes filled with sadness and grief.
"Sister Qing, Sister Qing..."
Chen Tang's voice brought Ye Qingning back to her senses, and she realized that Chen Shi had fallen asleep on her shoulder at some point.
Ye Qingning looked up and saw that the huge restaurant was empty: "Where's Ayan?"
Chen Tang laughed: "It's almost midnight. The boss and the others went downstairs to set off fireworks. They'll be back soon."
Ye Qingning's eyes lit up: "Fireworks, great!"
She patted Chen Shi's face: "Shi, the fireworks are about to start, wake up."
Chen Shi opened her sleepy eyes: "Fireworks, I want to see fireworks."
She stood up abruptly, her drunken feet wobbling as she ran toward the window, before Ye Qingning could even grab her.
Just as the figure in sight was about to fall against the glass, Chen Tang reacted quickly and grabbed her hand. He turned around and leaned his back against the glass, causing Chen Shi to bump into him.
With a thud, she crashed directly into Chen Tang's arms.
Chen Tang gasped in pain and reached out to hug her head: "Your head is so heavy! It's killing me!"
Chen Shi stared at the somewhat impatient handsome face in front of her with her large, dreamy eyes, and frowned: "Chen Tang, do you like me? Do you? Tell the truth!"
Chen Tang was stunned for a moment. The woman in front of him had delicate and lovely features, slightly flushed cheeks, and slightly pouting red lips. She was extremely cute.
Especially her eyes, which seemed to be filled with intoxication, were like two clear and gentle lakes, captivating anyone who looked into them.
As luck would have it, the restaurant door opened a moment later, and Lin Feiyan, Chen Chu, and Chen Song walked in. Upon seeing the scene before them, Chen Song instantly flew into a rage.
"Chen Tang!"
Chen Tang's gaze shifted to the doorway for a moment, and he subconsciously released Chen Shi's head. Chen Shi lost her balance and bumped hard against his chest again.
"Hiss!" Chen Tang's face contorted in pain. He spread his arms to avoid suspicion: "It's not my fault! She bumped into me. If I hadn't protected her, her head would have hit the glass!"
Chen Shi, supporting herself on Chen Tang's chest, stood up: "Do you like it or not..."
"I don't like it, I don't like it," Chen Tang hurriedly tried to distance himself, "I don't like your type!"
Chen Shi raised her hand and patted his face: "Tch, no taste!"
Chen Tang: "...Don't touch me! Brother Song, quickly pull your Ashi away... She assaulted me, she..."
Before Chen Tang could finish speaking, Chen Shi executed a perfect parabola and threw him onto the sofa next to her with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Chen Shi!!"
As Chen Tang roared in fury, the clock struck midnight, and fireworks began to light up the sky downstairs, turning the entire Tianfu Courtyard into a sea of fireworks.
