CH 5.1

After Ning Qingqing finished speaking, she quickly changed out of the skirt once she returned to the fitting room. She handed over the skirt, Shen Zhiyu’s face flushed red, and for a moment she didn’t know whether to take it or not.

Because of this episode, Qiao Xiaomian was no longer in the mood to browse this store. She went directly to her Moments and made a post, in which she pictured Shen Zhiyu’s shoes, but her face did not appear in the image, with the words——

“Wearing the same outfit isn’t bad since only the ugly one gets embarrassed.”

After posting, she still felt a little unsettled and took Ning Qingqing to the milk tea shop downstairs.

“Qingqing, it’s not just me, what do his family members even mean? She actually said that you are with him because you want to marry into a wealthy family. Haha, do you need to?!” Qiao Xiaomian bit the milk tea straw hard: “You should ask Shen Zhiqian right now, how does he mention you at home!”

Qiao Xiaomian has a baby face, and it bulges when she gets angry, like a little puffer fish. Ning Qingqing couldn’t help but poke the soft flesh of her cheek, and feeling unsatisfied with one poke, she poked it again.

“Hey!” Qiao Xiaomian became anxious: “You still have the mind to joke around? Look at that Si Luoqing, who looks upright and magnanimous on the surface, but in fact, she just wants to steal your man1! I really want to tear off her mask and let her fans take a good look at her!”

Ning Qingqing stirred whipped cream on top of her milk tea, took a sip, and felt the sweetness spread between her lips and teeth. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Gu Youchen wearing a suit and eating desserts in a cake shop.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

In front of her, Qiao Xiaomian looked at her angrily——

It’s really the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!2

“Okay okay, Xiao Mianmian, I actually thought about it for a while last night.” Ning Qingqing said seriously, “I’m considering whether I can continue with Shen Zhiqian.”

This was the first time Qiao Xiaomian had heard her best friend say such a thing, and she immediately forgot to chew, sat up straight, and listened.

Ning Qingqing said: “I have been with him for nine years and although we are familiar with each other’s friend circles, we are still unfamiliar with each other’s close relatives. In fact, when I graduated, I wanted to take him to see my mother, and the next two times I also planned to ask him to have dinner together when my mother was here for business, but he always avoided it by saying he had something to do.”

“Yesterday at the class reunion, Si Luoqing said that today was Shen Zhiyu’s 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, but I found out that I had no idea. I told him that I had made plans to shop with you today, and he replied that he happened to have something to do today too. Do you know? The moment he said, ‘I have something to do’ was the first time I seriously thought about ending it.”
