Chapter 289 The Hidden Conspiracy
Qin Yu reacted immediately and covered her neck: "No, it's nothing, it's just a mosquito bite."
"Ah, you girl, you have learned how to bluff me." Ning Xi couldn't help but pull her hand away, and sure enough, she saw green and red kiss marks on her neck, which were very ambiguous, "Xiao Xi, you and my brother are not progressing so fast. Tell me? "When?"
She had only heard from James that the relationship between the two had become closer, but she did not expect to have close contact so soon.
Qin Yu's ears were a little hot, and she said embarrassedly: "It was... last month. James is a reliable person. You have been busy during this period. I wanted to talk to you today, but I was afraid that you would not be in the mood today."
"No matter how busy I am, I will still pay attention to your affairs." Ning Xi chuckled, "So should I change my words now? I can't call you Xiaoyu anymore. I should call you sister-in-law now?"
Qin Yu was so embarrassed by her words that she quickly covered her mouth: "Your mouth is getting worse and worse. If you keep saying that, I'll tickle you!"
As he was about to put his hand on Ning Xi's waist, Ning Xi quickly begged for mercy: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I'm happy for you too."
She knew her brother's temper best. Ning Xi was so relieved that her good friend could be happy.
Qin Yu thought of her bumpy emotional road and whispered: "Xiao Xi, your right fate is definitely not far away. You will definitely wait for the right person."
Ning Xi shook her head: "I'm not interested in this kind of thing right now. I just want to run the company well."
Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart when she saw her sealing her heart with love.
In fact, Ning Xi is beautiful and smart, and there are many people pursuing her. Just by simply showing her face in the live broadcast, countless people showered her with gifts...
Suddenly, Qin Yu remembered the person who gave gifts most frequently that day.
"Xiao Xi, do you still remember the number one on the list who gave you crazy gifts on the day of your live broadcast?"
"Remember, what happened?"
Qin Yu thought about it for a moment and said after careful consideration: "He smashed too many things. I remember his ID, which seems to be... gualterio. Don't you think this name looks familiar?"
Ning Xi didn't react: "Do you know him?"
Qin Yu lowered her voice: "I feel that this name is strangely similar to Gu Huaijing's! And you see, he took the initiative to come up to help today, and was so worried about your safety. Before leaving, he also wished you a happy birthday. He must be regretting it."
Qin Yu's analysis was sound and well-founded, and Ning Xi lowered her eyes slightly after hearing this.
In fact, looking at it this way, it might really be Gu Huaijing. After all, he had mentioned getting back together with her before.
But now, she can no longer cause any trouble for him.
Her love had been completely worn out during the divorce, and there was no turning back.
"Whether it's him or not, it doesn't matter anymore." Ning Xi said lightly.
Seeing Ning Xi's lukewarm attitude, Qin Yu knew what she meant and agreed, "That's right. Anyway, let him regret it alone, we just ignore him."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden bang outside the window.
"Yeah, someone is setting off fireworks!"
Qin Yu pulled Ning Xi to the balcony to watch, and saw fireworks with intricate shapes and brilliant colors blooming in the ink-splashed night sky. The most peculiar thing was that there was a trail of meteor-like light at the end, which completely covered up the fluorescence of the sun and the moon. It was beautiful beyond words.
"Wow! Xiaoxi, look, this color is so beautiful!"
Ning Xi subconsciously raised a smile: "It is very beautiful."
As the fireworks continued to bloom, a few words vaguely emerged among the flowers.
Ning Xi took a closer look and saw that the big characters clearly read: "Happy Birthday."
Qin Yu also saw it and was really surprised who did this. Then she saw Gu Huaijing looking at Ning Xi tenderly on the balcony of the villa next door.
Qin Yu: "..."
Holy shit!! I’m so scared!
It turns out he lives next door!
Ning Xi followed Qin Yu's pointer and looked over, and her eyes met Gu Huaijing's.
His eyes seemed even softer under the moonlight. Although he didn't say a word, his eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.
Ning Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked away.
"Xiaoyu, let's go back."
The fireworks were still going off, so Qin Yu closed the window and pulled the curtain tightly.
"This guy surnamed Gu is really capable of doing things. He stayed up late at night to do this, as if he was sick!" Qin Yu got angry when she thought of what he had done before, "Isn't his company in S city, and he even traveled there specially? Here it comes!”
Ning Xi no longer wanted to comment on Gu Huaijing, so she opened a jasmine scented diffuser and said, "Xiaoyu, how about ordering this before going to bed at night?"
……
In the scent of jasmine, the two fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Ning Xi led Qin Yu up early in the morning. After washing and going out, she discovered that the sky was gloomy with low-pressure dark clouds.
"Oh, today's weather forecast says that thunderstorms will turn into heavy rain." Qin Yu looked at the weather forecast and quickly took out an umbrella from her bag.
Ning Xi warned: "Be careful on the road. If it rains heavily at night, the flight will be canceled and my brother will pick you up."
After seeing Qin Yu off, she received a message from Assistant Gu: "Mr. Ning, Ning Zhiyuan replied that we will meet at the Senlu Cafe on North Street at nine o'clock."
Ning Xi drove there, and the sky was dark along the way, which was as indescribable as her mood.
The atmosphere of the Morilu Café on North Street was excellent, with soft and soothing music playing, and the aroma filled the air as soon as one walked in. Even so, it was unable to calm Ning Xi's troubled mood.
When they came to the seat at the back, Ning Zhiyuan was already sitting there waiting. As soon as he saw her, he helped pull out the chair.
"Xiao Xi, you're here."
His attitude was gentle and kind, just like that of an ordinary father.
Ning Xi sat down slowly.
"I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered a latte that is pretty good. The small cakes here are also good. Do you want to try them?"
"No need." Ning Xi said directly, "I came here today because I have something serious to tell you."
"what's up?"
Ning Xi repeated what happened yesterday from beginning to end. At the end, she stared at Ning Zhiyuan closely: "Zhang Jiheng is your man, why did you order him to do this? What good will it bring you by threatening me?"
The expression on Ning Zhiyuan's face froze slightly.
I don't know whether she was surprised by Zhang Jiheng's behavior or surprised that the truth was revealed. In any case, in Ning Xi's eyes, it was a sign of guilt.
Ning Zhiyuan's smile froze for a moment, his face was complicated, and he was silent for a long time.
After a while, he said, "Xiao Xi, there are some things that I have to do. I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you. But please believe that I will not really hurt you. There is no father in the world who would harm his own daughter."
Ning Xi couldn't accept such words. Not telling her the truth but talking about the father-daughter relationship.
"If you have difficulties, tell me now, and the misunderstanding can be solved. But if you keep hiding it, it is not a difficulty, but an ulterior conspiracy."
