As long as it didn't rain, Nina would go downstairs for a walk every day after dinner. She would walk from home to the park beside the street, stroll in the park for a while and then head home slowly. It wouldn't take long, usually about half an hour.
After putting on her small satchel and hat, she closed the door and went downstairs slowly. After walking out of the unit door, she would usually turn to the right and then left, walking around the building in front of her. She walked straight ahead and would arrive at the entrance to the park. But today, after coming out of the unit door, she turned left and walked around the building where she lived, heading in the opposite direction. She walked faster and faster as the dim yellow streetlights shone on her face. She looked a little nervous because she was constantly glancing at both sides; her lips were tightly pursed, and her hands tightly clutched her small satchel.
Suddenly, she frowned and walked even
Shao Boqing drove his car aimlessly through the streets with the windows open. The cold wind blew his hair onto his face. It hurt, but his heart hurt even more as if someone was gouging out his heart with a knife. It hurt so much that his hands on the steering wheel were trembling. It actually hurt like this, but how could it hurt like this? He had been a playboy for many years and had always had his way around women. He used to fool around with the beautiful ladies and never got himself in trouble with love affairs. He thought he had true feelings for Fang Xueqing and was willing to give up the extravagant lifestyle. However, it wasn't her. The one for whom he had true feelings was actually not his fiancee. He parked his car by the roadside and entered the bar he used to come a lot. He sat down at the bar counter and made a phone call. "Shen Li, come out and have a drink with me." Young Master Shen was drinking and having fun with some beauties and said
When Shao Boqing opened his eyes, the room was still dark, making him think that it was still night and that he had just taken a nap. Fang Xueqing sat on the short sofa on the opposite. She was still wearing the clothes she wore last night to open the door. Her expression was numb and she kept staring at him without blinking. Shao Boqing probably didn't expect Fang Xueqing to be here. The sudden seeing of her made him shocked. He sat up and stroked his forehead, which was aching so painfully that it seemed to be about to crack open. He asked her, "What time is it?" "Nine o'clock." Shao Boqing remembered that when he called Shen Li at the bar, the time showed on his phone screen was right nine o'clock. Then it should be nine o'clock in the morning now. Feeling a little weak, he leaned against the sofa and asked again, "Why are you still at home? Don't you have to work today?" Fang Xueqing had been sitting there mot
Shao Boqing's temper came and went quickly. When he woke up in the evening and ate the plain porridge that Zhou Ting bought, he looked much better. However, he remained silent. Zhou Ting rarely saw him like this and did not dare to ask. She silently stayed by his side. At eight o'clock, the doctor came to check on him and asked him a few questions. Seeing that Shao Boqing was so unwilling to speak, the doctor then gave up. He told Zhou Ting that it was best for him to stay in the hospital for one night for observation. He could be discharged from hospital tomorrow morning after having an intravenous drip. Zhou Ting glanced at Shao Boqing whose gaze was wandering and knew that it was useless to ask for his opinion, so she agreed to the doctor to have Shao Boqing leave the hospital tomorrow morning. After the doctor left, Zhou Ting went to wash some fruits and cut them into pieces with a knife, then placed them on a plate and inserted some bamboo sticks int
The venue Shao Boqing booked was the Grand Jinxiu Hotel. It was the Jiang Group's property. At first, Gu Nianbin refused to accept it and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. However, there was indeed no decent venue for that period of time. Even the Grand Jinxiu Hotel was specially reserved for them by Shen Li for the sake of Shao Boqing. As for the issue about the invitation letter that Shao Boqing mentioned, Gu Nianbin insisted on using his own name. Shao Boqing refused and argued with him fiercely. He tried to persuade Gu Nianbin with reason and emotion. Finally, he forced Gu Nianbin to compromise and only use an abbreviated name GS. What Shao Boqing meant was that since the party was held by Gu Group, they should try their best to dilute this aspect. The guests would only know that Group Gu was the host, but they did not know who the real host was. What Shao Boqing wanted was this kind of effect. It was like looking at flowers in the fog, and he wanted those
The hall was bustling with people. Long tables were covered by pink embroidered tablecloths, and huge bouquets of extremely beautiful roses blossomed wildly, giving off a refreshing and pleasant fragrance. Glasses filled with amber champagne were stacked up like a translucent pyramid, and snow-white plates were filled with colorful food that made people salivate. On the dance floor, musicians dressed in tuxedos smilingly played cheerful dance music. Handsome men and beautiful ladies on the dance floor looked at each other with smiles. The ladies' long hair danced and their skirts fluttered, making them the perfect match for their partners. Most people were dressed in luxurious or sexy clothes, chatting in groups with wine glasses in their hands.Shao Boqing smiled as he walked through the crowd. When he saw Shen Li coming in, he raised his hand to greet him. Shen Li walked over with big strides and looked at him with surprise, "I haven’t seen you for a few days but you’
After saying that, Shao Boqing walked to Du Xiaoxian's side and held her hand in front of everyone. The host of the ceremony followed the procedure and invited Du Xiaoxian to pour wine. Du Xiaoxian's legs trembled and she was dragged to the center of the stage by Gu Nianbin and Shao Boqing. Gu Nianbin whispered to her, "Xiaoxian, be brave. You can do it."Du Xiaoxian nodded her head lightly. She picked up the opened bottle with the help of Gu Nianbin and Shao Boqing and slowly filled the translucent and colorless tower of glasses with amber wine.Another round of applause sounded from below. The host picked up a glass of wine. Du Xiaoxian, Gu Nianbin, and Shao Boqing also picked up glasses of wine. While the waiter pushed the wine down and distributed them to everyone, Shao Boqing whispered in Du Xiaoxian's ear, "If you want to do it good for your Young Master, don't dance with Gu Nianbin for the first dance."Du Xiaoxian glanced at him and nod
Du Xiaoxian kept Shao Boqing's words in mind, so when Jiang Kaiwei came to invite her to dance again, she only hesitated for a second before following him to the dance floor. Jiang Kaiwei came to Du Xiaoxian purely for the sake of saving his face. He never thought that if he was rejected again, he would really be extremely embarrassed. (President Jiang, you're indeed a moron in all other things except for doing business. Sure enough.)Jiang Kaiwei was also surprised that Du Xiaoxian was willing to dance with him. When dealing with a single-minded little girl, he felt extremely insecure because he was basically asking for trouble!Gu Nianbin stood in the distance and watched silently. He was also a little surprised that Du Xiaoxian would dance with Jiang Kaiwei. His gaze turned cold and he looked at Shao Boqing, "What did you say to her?"Shao Boqing didn't hide anything from him. After repeating what he had said to Du Xiaoxian, he held his wine
Wang Qian widened her eyes in horror. Du Xiaoxian, it turned out that they were targeting at Du Xiaoxian. No wonder Gu Nianbin asked her to find Du Xiaoxian. Was Du Xiaoxian also here? She looked at Cheng Mingchi again. Wasn't he chasing after Du Xiaoxian? Why was he involved with them?Cheng Mingchi did not look at her. He sat there smoking. His entire body was enveloped in smoke. His expression was somewhat blank, but the expression in his eyes was gloomy and cruel. Wang Qian had a bad feeling in her heart. She knew that something bad was about to happen.Xia Xiaowan nodded in satisfaction when seeing that Wang Qian fell silent after being slapped. She waved at Yu Yuanpo, so the latter pushed Wang Qian into the bathroom and then locked the door.Xia Xiaowan made complaints about Yang Liying and said, "You didn't even know that you were followed. You almost ruined our plan."Yang Liying bit her lip and did not say anything. This w
