Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: That Little Kitty Is So Cute...
"It’s mainly a matter of time, the company over there has a very important meeting, I can’t miss it." Chen Zhinan’s handsome face was as gentle as jade, politely bidding them farewell.
Is he leaving?
This time, is he never coming back?
Should she still confess?
But what use is a confession!
What one doesn’t like will still be disliked, those who need to leave will still leave.
"Then we won’t keep you! Safe travels." Mr. Shi was also particularly understanding.
"Tonight, your Aunt Lan plans to introduce their family’s son to you, he’s the type you like, let’s go home first, freshen up a bit, just treat it as going out to relax!" Mr. Shi looked at Shi Qingqing’s tear-streaked face, "Dad really thinks highly of the Lan family’s young master, you’ve even met before when you were little!"
"I don’t remember..." Shi Qingqing’s eyes were fixed on Chen Zhinan ahead of her.
His steps were steady as he went downstairs.
"You’ll definitely remember when you see her!" Mr. Shi said.
"Hmm..."
Shi Qingqing indeed should find a man who loves her, properly, rather than being so miserable with herself.
Chen Zhinan thought of this and felt a sense of relief, but suddenly there was an unsettling feeling.
It was as if something that belonged to him was suddenly taken away by an outstretched hand.
His heart felt empty all at once.
As if something was missing.
He and the Shi family father and daughter got into the car one after the other.
Chen Zhinan’s car drove fast.
Behind them, Zhao Ye and his accomplices were caught by the police, financial crime and kidnapping extortion—serious charges sufficient to keep Zhao Ye in prison for several years or even decades!
——
In the evening, Shi Qingqing, with an adhesive bandage on her neck, went to meet with the Lan family.
Lan Qi actually looked somewhat charming, wearing a suit, especially gentleman-like.
He pulled out her chair, asked her what she liked to eat, ordered her juice, everything was so perfect.
But something was missing.
No spark!
Having just gone through such an ordeal during the day, Shi Qingqing really wasn’t in the mood for romance.
But recalling Zhao Ye’s words, she remained particularly polite.
The parents of both families saw the situation and thought they were really hitting it off.
After dinner, they even asked Lan Qi to accompany her on a walk.
They went to the mall.
Once inside, Lan Qi tried to get her to shop for clothes.
She shook her head.
"Why not try the claw machine!"
"I’ve never played before, if you like it, let’s give it a try!" Lan Qi went to exchange a lot of coins.
Shi Qingqing had never played either.
She always wanted to play it with Chen Zhinan.
But today, he saved her, yet didn’t even have time to say a word.
The opportunity to express gratitude was there, but she didn’t speak.
She was sulking.
Feeling resentful.
Shi Qingqing played a few coins but failed each time.
Either they slipped halfway, or couldn’t be picked up.
Lan Qi watched her crestfallen look, "Let me try."
On the first coin, Lan Qi picked it up.
Shi Qingqing looked at the cute little bunny in her hand, "You’re amazing."
Sincerely praising him.
"It’s alright, just average." Lan Qi modestly said, "I was lucky too. What else do you like, let’s keep trying."
"The little duck and little bear are also very cute, giraffe!"
It was practically a paradise zoo here.
Soon, her arms were full of plush toys.
"No more!"
But Lan Qi pulled her, walking to the side, "Let’s try for a big one, what do you like?"
"That little kitty looks nice, so cute..."
