"Zhi Rou, don’t fra ; I don’t have a boyfriend. Indeed, it was a friend who asked for my help, but it’s not needed anymore!"
Zhao Jiaqi hadn’t expected the discussion to turn towards her.
Having just been a spectator, she could only loudly defend herself.
"Not needed anymore? Has it been completely ruined?"
Yang Linglong asked with a smile, "However, I rember when I was little and made mistakes, and the teacher asked us to write our nas, I would always write Ning ngyao."
"No wonder the teacher always said I did many things I didn’t even know about; it was you who frad !"
Ning ngyao imdiately scread.
"No, what I an is, when people generally say it’s soone else’s business, it’s usually their own, so what Jiaqi said is quite problematic."
Yang Linglong said with a wicked grin.
Such cases of impersonation are things one finds inconvenient to disclose.
"That’s not true at all; I really was asking for a friend, and Qi Qi knows her too."
Zhao Jiaqi argued with all her might.
She really regretted why she had agreed to Shangguan Min Yue’s strange request.
"Isn’t it Min Yue? Didn’t you say she didn’t have a marriage alliance with the Gong Family?"
Qi Qi imdiately sat up.
This juicy piece of gossip was quite explosive.
After all, everyone knew there had been trouble with the Gong Family.
But exactly what the trouble was had never been clearly explained.
The Gong Family had already done their utmost to minimize the impact of the event.
"This matter... is a bit complicated and involves soone else’s privacy; let’s not talk about it."
Zhao Jiaqi had a bitter smile on her face.
In the midst of their chat, not one of them ntioned Lin Fan.
But it seed like every word was related to him.
"That’s right, in these situations, won suffer the most, so let’s not talk carelessly about relationships. Earning money is the most practical thing. We maintain ourselves well, and just looking in the mirror makes us happy. Why bother pleasing n or becoming a yellow-faced woman?"
Ning ngyao, though unaware of the specific situation,
suddenly spoke passionately on the topic of marriage breakdown.
After all, she and Lin Fan were now one step closer to divorce.
"How co you, a married woman, are suddenly so disillusioned with marriage? You didn’t have this attitude before."
Yang Linglong looked puzzled as she turned her face.
The last ti the two of them had had a heartfelt talk at ho,
she didn’t seem to feel this way.
"That was just a fleeting sentint; having cald down now, I realize money is indeed the most concrete thing. After we finish our beauty treatnts, let’s go for a big al and to hell with n."
She didn’t want to continue the conversation in front of so many people.
After all, Xu Zhi Rou and Zhao Jiaqi were present.
If Yang Linglong inadvertently revealed what Ning ngyao had said before,
wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?
Ning ngyao stood up, "I’m going to the bathroom."
Having said that, she left the private room.
With her face mask removed, she held a tissue, wiping the lotion off her face.
But the smile that had been on her face just monts ago vanished with the lotion.
She didn’t head to the restroom; she just wanted so fresh air.
So she slipped on her sandals and walked out of the beauty salon.
She took the elevator straight to the rooftop.
There was an observation deck above, offering a view of half of Jiangning’s nightscape.
Thus, in the evenings, it was a popular spot for influencers to check in.
But during the day, it was nearly deserted.
As the elevator doors opened, Ning ngyao stepped out.
But she had only taken a few steps when she noticed a figure leaning against the wall, smoking.
Without paying much attention, she walked over to the railing at the edge.
The breeze played with the tips of her hair.
"It’s getting cold; you might catch a cold if you stand in the wind like this."
Suddenly, Lin Fan’s voice ca from behind her.
Ning ngyao turned around with a look of surprise.
Lin Fan had already taken off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"You... Why are you here?"
Ning ngyao never expected Lin Fan to appear here.
She had purposely avoided him by not going for breakfast this morning.
Instead, under the pretext of inviting Xu Zhi Rou to taste Jiangning’s morning tea, she hastily left ho.
"Of course, I was waiting for you."
Lin Fan hadn’t expected to be here waiting for Zhao Jiaqi to send information either.
Instead of her, it was Ning ngyao who showed up.
"Waiting for ... Waiting for what?"
This reply, ng Yao was completely stunned.
"Of course, I’m waiting for an answer."
At this mont, Lin Fan could only blurt out: "I feel like, you are deliberately avoiding , evading . What exactly happened? Aren’t you going to clarify things with ?"
"I’m not, it’s Zhi Rou’s first ti here, I just took her out to try so of Jiangning’s specialties."
Ning ngyao instinctively avoided Lin Fan’s gaze.
Not good at lying, she could only hastily make up a reason.
"Even if it’s her first ti here, there’s no need to drive out to the west wing, don’t you think that’s a bit improper? ng Yao, whatever it is, just co out with it. Let’s shoulder it together."
Lin Fan reached out and grabbed Ning ngyao’s shoulder.
It had only been a day.
Why was she so much colder towards him?
"Really, there’s nothing wrong. Are you worried that I fell for Xu Zhi Rou or sothing?"
Ning ngyao revealed a helpless, bitter smile.
She casually pushed Lin Fan’s hand away: "All right, they’re waiting for downstairs. I’m going to join them now. Let’s talk about the rest later."
That push was cold and resolute.
Especially her slightly sorrowful smile.
It made Lin Fan completely baffled.
He could only watch her back disappear into the elevator doors.
Although still without any clues,
Lin Fan knew that Ning ngyao must be hiding sothing in her heart.
But, how to get her to open up and speak?
"Ding!"
As Lin Fan was deep in thought,
the elevator doors opened once again.
Zhao Jiaqi arrived as promised.
"You’re hiding here smoking, it’s really uncomfortable. I’ve been downstairs listening to gossip until my scalp tingles. If anyone so much as ntions your na, Lin Fan, the whole ga is up!"
Zhao Jiaqi truly had a bellyful of grievances.
Before knowing the inner workings, she could remain detached.
But upon learning that the mysterious husband, boyfriend, and suitor of the three won were actually the sa person,
she felt her worldview being turned upside down.
"So, what have you found out?"
Lin Fan, of course, didn’t want the three to et.
But he couldn’t prevent it.
"I didn’t find out anything because Ning ngyao seems to deliberately avoid talking about you and her. Yang Linglong’s several attempts to ask were fruitless."
Zhao Jiaqi tossed her tousled hair aside.
"Well, it seems that the leader of Dragon Tooth is not that capable after all."
Lin Fan sighed.
Getting a woman to open up truly is hard.
"Hey, I’m helping you out, not asking for your mockery," Jiaqi complained with a bellyful of resentnt: "Even if I didn’t find out anything, at least I can analyze. You said Ning ngyao’s attitude towards you changed suddenly, but I rember when she left the ship, she was very reluctant to part with you. So, the problem must have arisen just the day before yesterday, right? If you just figure out what happened that day, wouldn’t you know?"
"After hearing your words, it’s really just like an enlightening conversation. If I could ask that out myself, would I need to find you?" Lin Fan replied with an eye roll.
"I really wonder if your brain has rusted over. To find out what happened, you don’t necessarily have to ask Ning ngyao. Xu Zhi Rou has been with her all this ti, can’t you just ask her and find out?"
Looking at Lin Fan, who was perplexed by the situation,
Zhao Jiaqi couldn’t help but sigh.
Indeed, in matters of the heart, no one is clear-headed.
