Faced with Ming Kai’s direct invitation, Qiu Zi also directly expressed her refusal.
"I think I’ll pass. I’m just a small-ti doctor at the hospital; it’s not appropriate for to attend such an event." Qiu Zi felt a bit awkward, truly unable to understand why Ming Kai would invite her to attend?
Actually, Ming Kai had his own reasons for wanting to bring Qiu Zi to such an occasion. He intended to introduce Qiu Zi to his parents at an important event.
However, Qiu Zi didn’t want to go, and her refusal was quite clear, which left Ming Kai feeling half-defeated. It seed that Qiu Zi still viewed him purely as a colleague or a boss, rather than as a man.
Seeing the subway station right ahead, Ming Kai tentatively suggested, "How about I drive you ho? It’s not very safe to take the subway at this hour."
"No need, the subway is very safe. It’s late, you should head ho early too." As she spoke, Qiu Zi was already unbuckling her seatbelt, and when she finished her sentence, she directly opened the door and got out of the car, waving to Ming Kai, "Goodbye, Director Ming!"
After speaking, Qiu Zi hurried into the subway station, running without looking back.
Ming Kai watched Qiu Zi’s retreating figure, feeling sowhat dejected. This woman, is she just absent-minded, or is she intentionally avoiding him?
In the dark night, a Pagani stopped behind Ming Kai’s car, and Leizi looked at Ming Kai’s Jeep and spoke to Yin Tianshen behind him, "Brother Shen, look, the guy surnad Ming only ever drops Miss Qiu off at the subway station. Miss Qiu doesn’t even let that Ming guy know where she lives—isn’t that proof enough that Miss Qiu isn’t interested in him?"
Yin Tianshen’s eyes were deep as he furrowed his brows, staring at Ming Kai’s car slowly driving away, and he finally spoke, "Where is tomorrow’s lunch set?"
Upon hearing Yin Tianshen’s question, Leizi suddenly rembered and said, "Oh, Dean Ming heard that Brother Shen likes Cantonese cuisine, so he booked the 201 private room at the Cantonese restaurant where we encountered Miss Qiu last ti."
After listening, Yin Tianshen asked Leizi another question, "Still haven’t found out Qiu Zi’s exact residence?"
Leizi shook his head, "No, all the addresses she filled in previously were rented apartnts in a complex, and now there’s a new tenant there. If you ask , Brother Shen, why bother with all this? Just appear directly in front of Miss Qiu and talk things out! What’s the point in going around like this?"
Leizi didn’t understand. Previously, he thought Yin Tianshen liked the woman hidden in his heart, not Miss Qiu. So, even though he felt sorry for Miss Qiu, he never said anything in front of Yin Tianshen. But now, Yin Tianshen has admitted that he likes Miss Qiu—wouldn’t it be a happy ending then? Why continue hiding himself like this?
Sitting in the back seat, Yin Tianshen maintained his silence. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to directly confront Qiu Zi, but when he saw Qiu Zi with another man at that Cantonese restaurant, he wasn’t sure about the relationship between the man and Qiu Zi. He wasn’t sure if that man was important to Qiu Zi or not. Previously, he had disrupted Qiu Zi’s peaceful life and almost cost her life. If Qiu Zi was now very happy and had a beloved man, he would choose to never appear before her again.
However, for now, it seems things might not be as they appear.
