CHAPTER 182: CHAPTER 182: YOU CAN’T FORCE WHAT ISN’T MEANT TO BE

Some things can’t be forced, especially when it comes to feelings. She understood this long ago.

Even though she knew Su Heng didn’t care about her leaving, when he actually didn’t care, her heart still ached uncontrollably.

How am I not as good as Gu Ningyue? Why would Su Heng take the initiative to leave a way for Gu Ningyue, but not even glance at me?

"Because we are two different types. He probably just likes my type of woman."

Gu Ningyue’s voice suddenly appeared in her ear, and Chi Xingtong realized that she accidentally spoke her heart out loud!!!

This, this is too embarrassing!

Chi Xingtong suddenly remembered that she used to resent Gu Ningyue, even harboring some unpleasant thoughts.

She felt a pang of shame rising in her heart, not daring to meet Gu Ningyue’s eyes.

Gu Ningyue looked at Chi Xingtong’s flushed cheeks, and couldn’t help but chuckle: "Alright! Having such thoughts is normal! If the person I liked ended up with my friend instead of me, I would feel bad too. Who doesn’t have a little dark side?"

She never tests human nature because she knows all too well what it is.

For so long, Gu Ningyue hadn’t trusted anyone else besides Ling Tianyou.

But according to the current situation, it seemed even Ling Tianyou couldn’t be trusted anymore.

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue sighed softly.

Chi Xingtong wiped her fingers, full of water stains, and murmured in front of the sink: "A friendly tip before you leave, don’t let Chen Rui handle anything related to the wedding."

Gu Ningyue raised an eyebrow: "Not even the restaurant’s waste?"

Chi Xingtong: "..."

Chi Xingtong: "I’m being serious with you!"

Facing Gu Ningyue’s fearlessness, Chi Xingtong seemed a bit irritated.

"Chen Rui isn’t like Gu Wanwan’s sort of petty person, no, no, Gu Wanwan’s kind isn’t even petty; compared to Chen Rui, she’s practically reckless."

Gu Ningyue nodded, deeply agreeing: "Don’t worry! It will be fine, I have a grasp of it."

When she was out on missions, Chen Rui didn’t even know what she was doing!

Even so, she dared show off here?

Unless something unexpected happens, Gu Ningyue wouldn’t give Chen Rui any chance to succeed.

Gu Ningyue’s gaze was likely so determined that Chi Xingtong felt a bit relieved: "That’s good, I wouldn’t want to come back to find Ling Tianyou has become Chen Rui’s fiancé!"

Unless in a dream would she call Chen Rui sister-in-law!

Gu Ningyue looked at Chi Xingtong: "Really don’t need me to see you off? Wouldn’t that be too lonely?"

Chi Xingtong shrugged: "I’m used to it. No need to see me off!"

"Suit yourself then!" Gu Ningyue replied, nodding: "Alright, we’ve been out long enough, let’s head back!"

The two of them lingered outside for quite some time, return too late and who knows what petty tricks Chen Rui might play.

Back in the private room, they opened the door to find Ling Tianyou sitting with Chen Rui, their backs looked fitting together.

If the person sitting next to Ling Tianyou was herself, what would it be like?

Gu Ningyue didn’t know why, but as she took her seat, her mind was left with only this singular question.

Oh no, not right, even sitting with him, she still wouldn’t see what’s going on behind her.

"You two seem to have a great relationship." Chen Rui looked at them and smiled warmly: "I have some friends abroad, but because of cultural differences. Many things are hard to understand, so in the end, they’re just playmates, just so I don’t feel so lonely!"

As soon as the words fell, Chi Xingtong rolled her eyes with disdain.

Fortunately, she noticed Ling Tianyou watching her, so she stopped.

Gu Ningyue understood implicitly, clearly, there was a lot of exaggeration in those words.

"I don’t have many friends either, besides Xing Tong and Han Yin, I am usually alone."

Chi Xingtong nodded: "Unfortunately I’m leaving, and from now it will just be you and Han Yin left, remember to send me video calls!"

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly: "We’ll see! If you’re nice to me, I’ll send you some, if not, forget it!"

"How is it to be nice to you?" Gu Ningyue raised her elegant brows, looking at Chi Xingtong, "Find you a boyfriend?"

Before the words had barely landed, Chi Xingtong punched Gu Ningyue: "Hateful, don’t jinx it, the people chasing me are lined up to my door."

Chen Rui blushed, it seemed that bottle of green plum wine had intoxicated her: "That’s true, people have loved chasing Xing Tong since young."

Just a pity, many of them ended up chasing her during high school.

Because of this, Chi Xingtong used to get mad at her a lot back then.

But she didn’t care, as long as she was happy.

The four of them chattered on and off, and after the meal, Gu Ningyue touched her full belly: "So full!"

Ling Tianyou looked at her and couldn’t help but smile.

This smile was warmer than the polite smile before with Chen Rui, it appeared genuinely heartfelt.

Handsome as he was, Gu Ningyue almost drowned in that smile.

She always wondered how someone on earth could be so good-looking?

This is definitely a masterpiece by Goddess Nuwa, isn’t it? Simply perfect!

After struggling through the meal, Chi Xingtong went outside, intending to settle the bill, but found out that it was already paid at some point.

She asked the cashier, and because of the busy flow of people today, they hadn’t noticed who had settled it.

Chi Xingtong found it hard to believe, Ling Tianyou with that strikingly handsome face, could go unnoticed by the cashier?

And Chen Rui, as much as she didn’t want to admit it, was undeniably beautiful.

How could anyone not remember these two? It defied common sense,

Back in the room, Chi Xingtong softly shared this with Gu Ningyue.

For the second time facing Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui, whispering like this, Chen Rui finally spoke: "Xing Tong. What are you two talking about? Let us and Tianyou hear it too!"

Chi Xingtong explained, looking at Chen Rui: "Nothing much, I was just saying your nose hairs might need a trim, they’re too long."

Chen Rui’s face turned extremely awkward, the whole meal hadn’t been this embarrassing, for a moment she didn’t know what to say.

Gu Ningyue held back the urge to laugh for a while, nose hairs, hahaha...

Kudos to Chi Xingtong for coming up with such an excuse, what a good way to shut someone up!

She learned something!
