“Qingqing, the people I’m taking you to meet today are all from the capital investment circle of Beijing. When we get there, I will directly introduce you as the daughter of our President Ning.” Nie Yu said, “Since you don’t have any work experience in this field, just listen more when the time comes. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask if it’s appropriate. If it’s not appropriate, write it down, and I’ll explain it to you later.”

Ning Qingqing replied, “Okay, I happen to have a lot of questions already, so I’m counting on you later Brother Nie!”

Nie Yu smiled, “Qingqing, you might not know, CEO Ning has been very happy recently. I guess it’s because you are coming, she has been even more efficient than usual.”

The two went to the shopping mall talking and laughing. Ning Qingqing changed into a suit that looked professional yet youthful and went to the business dinner with Nie Yu.

On the way there, Ning Qingqing listened to Nie Yu and did her homework, so she quickly matched the names of all these big shots with their identities and backgrounds.

There was a lot of fun discussion during the meal, no matter whether everyone was just being polite or something, since business interests were always involved, as expected, there was perfunctory speech here and there. They all praised Ning Qingqing for being beautiful and smart, and that CEO Ning had a successor now.

This time it was Nie Yu who was the host, so he sent everyone to their cars one by one, before telling Ning Qingqing, “Qingqing, I will send you back.”

Ning Qingqing checked the time. It was almost ten o’clock in the evening. She learned a lot today and still felt very energetic.

The two chatted in the car about the work Ning Qingqing would do after joining the company, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of Ning Qingqing’s community.

Because the neighborhood here was very safe, Ning Qingqing didn’t let him send her upstairs. After all, Nie Yu had a six o’clock flight today making it a tiring day for him.

After saying goodbye to the other party, Ning Qingqing went upstairs alone, and when she entered the elevator, she received a call from Gu Youchen, “Qingqing, are you home?”

“En, I’m in the elevator right now.” Ning Qingqing said, “I’ll be home soon.”

At this moment, on the street opposite Ning Qingqing’s community, Gu Youchen was leaning against the front of his car while calling.

After the signing ceremony in Beishi today, he originally had a business dinner planned with his client, but the other CEO’s wife suffered from acute appendicitis, so the dinner was canceled.

Watching the CEO rush to the hospital, Gu Youchen suddenly wanted to see Ning Qingqing, so he rushed back by private plane.

But it was too late at night now. Gu Youchen was afraid that Ning Qingqing would feel uncomfortable, so he planned to take a look at her from a distance and leave.

“Ding!” At this moment, Ning Qingqing’s elevator arrived at her floor.

As she came out, she asked, “Is your dinner over?”

However, at this moment, a familiar male voice sounded, but it was not from the receiver, “Qingqing—”

At the same time, Gu Youchen’s words from the receiver came from the other side, “En, it just ended.”

Ning Qingqing maintained the posture of holding the phone. At the same time, two male voices with different timbres came at her, one was through the receiver and the other was in front of her, making her dizzy.

After the motion sensor light at the door suddenly lit up, it went out again, and there seemed to be a sweet and creamy fragrance in the air.

“Qingqing—” The familiar male voice made the light suddenly turn on again, and Ning Qingqing could clearly see Shen Zhiqian standing at the door of her apartment.

The man was wearing a shirt and trousers and his tie had already been taken off. The collar of the shirt had two buttons unbuttoned, his sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, and his whole bearing showed traces of agitation.

However, after seeing Ning Qingqing, these traces of agitation dropped to the ground with a bang, as if his whole heart calmed down.

“Qingqing, I couldn’t contact you, so I could only wait for you here.” Shen Zhiqian looked at Ning Qingqing, and felt that despite it being only a few days since he last saw her, it felt like a century.

He walked over, narrowing the distance between the two, and stretched out his arms to hug her.

However, Ning Qingqing took a step back.

Shen Zhiqian was still holding the cake in his hand and felt a little injured because of Ning Qingqing’s evasion, he couldn’t help lowering his long eyelashes, and said, “Qingqing, I’m sorry I couldn’t spend your birthday with you. Don’t be angry with me, let’s make it up today, okay?”

The hallway was quiet, and his voice transmitted through the receiver without missing a word.

Ning Qingqing hadn’t hung up the phone, it was even still by her ear, so she could hear Gu Youchen’s voice in her right ear, “Qingqing, is he at your door?”

Ning Qingqing felt as if she was separated into two worlds, she first said to Gu Youchen, “En, but I will handle it.”

Then, she said to Shen Zhiqian, “Thank you, but there’s no need. We have already broken up, so you can take your cake back with you.”

Shen Zhiqian didn’t move, he maintained his original slightly bowed posture, looking at Ning Qingqing with undisguised fragility in his eyes, “Qingqing, don’t be like this, let’s have a good talk.”

Ning Qingqing was about to speak when Shen Zhiqian interrupted her, “If you want to get married, we can …”

“Sorry.” Ning Qingqing didn’t expect Shen Zhiqian to compromise on this matter, but she didn’t have time to think, and she couldn’t possibly think about it.

“I’m already married,” she said.

“Wha…, what?” Shen Zhiqian looked at Ning Qingqing, and even tried to pull up the corners of his lips into a smile, “Baby, don’t make such a joke with me … My heart will hurt if you do this …”

“I’m really married.” Ning Qingqing met Shen Zhiqian’s eyes and couldn’t avoid feeling like it was a little difficult to bear.

After all, he was someone she used to truly like, and it has only been a few days since they broke up, so she couldn’t be completely indifferent.

But the past was the past, and she would not look back.

Even if some emotions still affected her heart, she would learn to accept them slowly and forget them.

“I’m really married, and I’m on the phone with my new husband.” Ning Qingqing pointed to the phone.
