Flash Marriage with My Ex-Boyfriend’s Nemesis

The peoples’ gazes collided.

Ning Qingqing stood there glancing at the four people in the elevator and suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible wall between them.

Shen Zhiqian and the others were inside the wall, while she was outside the wall.

All her emotions came over her in violent waves, but she hid them all in an instant – even her eyes didn’t reveal a single hint.

“Hello, CEO Shen.” Ning Qingqing bowed respectfully to Shen Zhiqian’s father Shen Yeyuan, and then set her eyes on Shen Zhiqian. Her eyes were calm.

Just as she was about to greet him, her phone rang. Ning Qingqing quickly took out the phone from her bag, and inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief.

She nodded slightly to the few people inside, took a step back, and motioned them to go first.

So, Si Luoqing’s manager, who was standing closest to the elevator entrance, pressed close, and the elevator door closed next to Ning Qingqing.

She went to the emergency staircase to answer the client’s call: “Okay, Manager Zhang, once we get the results on our end, I will let you know as soon as possible…”

Once the call ended, Ning Qingqing stood in the emergency staircase instead of immediately returning to the office.

She stood for a while, and her phone rang again, this time it was Shen Zhiqian.

“Qingqing, I had just run into my dad as I was returning to the company after visiting the client, so I didn’t have time to invite you for lunch.” Shen Zhiqian said, “Come down now, and let’s go eat at your favorite restaurant.”

Ning Qingqing couldn’t understand how Shen Zhiqian could say this so naturally, so instead she questioned, “Is it convenient for you guys if I come over?”

Shen Zhiqian said: “I’m by myself, my dad and the others went to a restaurant on their own.”

So, Shen Yeyuan and Si Luoqing went together? Sure enough, the family friends of childhood sweethearts are indeed different!

“You can go eat with them, I’m not hungry.” Ning Qingqing said, “I have already ordered takeout and it will be delivered soon.”

“Qingqing, are you angry?” Shen Zhiqian’s tone became a little cautious, and he explained, “I also didn’t know Si Luoqing would come here. It was just a coincidence on the elevator just now.”

Ning Qingqing did believe in Shen Zhiqian, just like what she said to Qiao Xiaomian, the problems between her and Shen Zhiqian were never related to a third party.

It’s just that the third party is like a mirror1, which will clearly illuminate the cracks between them!
