CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 428: DID SHE AGREE?

Beside her was the relentless chanting of "Little Jinli" from Qi Ming’s mouth, making Ning Li feel like hallucinations were about to manifest before her eyes.

She abruptly stopped, turned around, and said, "Stop calling me Little Jinli—"

Qi Ming, who was following her, hadn’t expected her to stop suddenly and, unable to react in time, the two collided.

Ning Li’s lips had bumped against Qi Ming’s collarbone.

Both winced in pain, inhaling sharply together. Ning Li recovered first, quickly stepping back and saying, "I’ll go over there; you can sweep here," then hurried away with her broom.

Rubbing his collarbone, Qi Ming grumbled, "How can Little Jinli’s head be so hard? It’s killing me..."

-

Since some people had plans set for the afternoon, everyone returned to the hotel to pack up and leave after the recording.

On the way back to the hotel, Fu Jinghen received a call regarding work.

He had already asked Feng Li to clear his schedule for these two days. If it weren’t something urgent, Feng Li wouldn’t call him.

Initially planning to meet Wen Qiao in Hang City tonight and return to Jiang City the next morning, this call forced Fu Jinghen to fly directly from Yun City to Jiang City.

But since Wen Qiao was with him this time, and her agent and assistant had stayed back in Hang City, letting her go back alone truly worried Fu Jinghen. He insisted on accompanying Wen Qiao back to Hang City first before leaving, but Wen Qiao didn’t want him to go through the hassle, resulting in a deadlock.

Qi Ming stepped in to resolve the deadlock, volunteering bravely, "I’m also going to Hang City, Little Aunt will come with me. Little Uncle, you can rest assured now, right?"

The last thing I feel when you’re with her is reassured.

"Why are you going to Hang City?" asked Fu Jinghen.

"I’m going to see Xiao Shu."

"....."

Fu Jinghen glanced at Wen Qiao, who had been staring at him all along.

"Now that I have someone accompanying me back, you can leave with peace of mind," Wen Qiao urged. "If my presence causes any delay in your company’s matters, I won’t let you visit the set again."

Fu Jinghen had no choice but to compromise, "Send me a message when you get off the plane, and let me know once you reach the hotel."

"Got it, go now."

Qi Ming watched Fu Jinghen eagerly, "Little Uncle, do I also need to send you a message?"

Fu Jinghen didn’t even glance at him, "No need."

"....."

Do we really need such differential treatment?

As the car disappeared around the corner, Qi Ming withdrew his gaze and snapped his fingers in front of Wen Qiao, "Do we need to be so mushy? He’s out of sight now, what’s there to watch?"

"You wouldn’t understand," Wen Qiao shot him a glance. "Single dog."

Qi Ming retorted, "What single dog... I have Xiao Shu, alright?"

"Has she agreed to be with you?" Wen Qiao asked.

"Not yet—"

Wen Qiao turned away, "A matter not even set in motion, what are you fussing about."

Qi Ming walked beside her, "She will agree eventually, you know. It’s normal for girls to play hard-to-get when being pursued."

Wen Qiao opened her mouth to remind him that Wen Shu seemed not as simple as she appeared, but she swallowed her words back down.

It was all just her feeling, without any solid evidence.

Saying it, Qi Ming certainly wouldn’t believe her, and if he delved into divergent thinking, assuming she still had some feelings for him, that would really be asking for trouble.

Better to let him find out on his own. After all, it was he who was dating Wen Shu, whether it was bitter or sweet, it wasn’t her enduring it.
