Seeing that Qing Qing didn't want to talk much, Li Wen Xuan didn't continue the topic. He told her about the studio they had created after she returned home.
Until the end of the meal, the two of them talked back and forth happily. The two parties did not realize the ambiguous atmosphere between them, but Shen Ziming saw it all.
'Ding … guide target affability level + 5, current affability level 40. '…
He had a meal here tonight, but he didn't expect Qing Qing to be here as well. There was also Li Wenxuan. They should be together now. Two years ago, he had already discovered Li Wenxuan's intentions. Without him in these two years, their relationship would naturally become like this.
He pretended to be calm, but his clenched fist betrayed him. He shook off the secretary's hand and walked past Qing Qing expressionlessly.
"CEO, wait for me." The secretary's voice drew their attention.
Qing Qing turned her head and saw Shen Ziming striding forward with his secretary, Lin Si Dan, stumbling behind him. She had been wondering why the affability level had dropped for no reason. It turned out that Shen Ziming was nearby. However, she still didn't understand why she had such a good impression of him.
"Zi Ming, you're here to eat too?" Qing Qing wanted to chat with him, but Shen Ziming acted as if he didn't see her. His face was cold and his footsteps didn't stop.
Qing Qing smiled awkwardly. Just when she was hesitating whether she should chase after him or not, the action of Shen Ziming clutching his stomach made her decide to catch up with Shen Ziming.
"Wen Xuan, you go back first. I'll take a taxi back later." After a few simple sentences, Qing Qing ran over to Shen Ziming's side.
Li Wen Xuan's heart gradually turned cold as he watched Qing Qing's departing back. His entire person exuded a sorrowful aura.
"… …"
"Zi Ming, is your stomach sick again?" After sending Lin Si Dan off, he cleared himself of Shen Zi Ming's nasty attitude and first sat in the driver's seat. Afterwards, he took out a few bottles from his bag and poured out a few pills. "Here, quickly take these."
'Ding … guide target affability level increased by 5, current affability level is 45. '…
Shen Ziming looked at the nervous expression on Qing Qing's face, his heart was moved, his face slightly relaxed. He took the pills and water from Qing Qing and stuffed them into his mouth, drank a mouthful of water and swallowed the pills.
After the pain had subsided, he turned around to look at Qing Qing who was concentrating on driving. "Why do you have stomach medicine? Do you still have that habit?" As he spoke, his right hand unconsciously tugged at his pants.
"Mm, I …" Qing Qing didn't turn her head, she only tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she continued, "Zi Ming, do we really have no chance of winning?"
Shen Ziming's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it out. In the end, he turned his face towards the window, hoping the cold night wind would calm his restless heart.
Could they still turn back? He did not know that he needed to be calm. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his own heart and accidentally agree to the pure and simple request of recombination. He did not want to repeat the dark and gloomy days from two years ago.
Shen Ziming's silence made Qing Qing very disappointed, but she still hadn't figured out what the knot in Shen Ziming's heart was. On the surface, Li Qingqing would rather break up than go abroad to study, which made him feel resentful. However, Qing Qing felt that this was not the case. Because in the original owner's memory, Shen Ziming didn't oppose the exotic love affair, but since he strongly opposed Li Qing Qing's decision to leave the country, there must be another reason behind it.
From the original owner's memories, it seemed that when he mentioned studying abroad, Shen Ziming only frowned. Later on, when Li Qingqing mentioned that studying abroad was led by Li Wenxuan, Shen Ziming became furious.
A thought flashed in Qing Qing's mind. Could it be that Shen Ziming had always misunderstood the original owner's relationship with Li Wenxuan, mistaking her going abroad to find a lover? If that's the case, then it made sense for Shen Ziming to see her with Li Wenxuan just now.
But all this was her guess, and she wasn't sure if she should speak.
