If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

Inside the private room, Qi Nan sat on the sofa, a guitar resting on his lap. His slender fingers lightly plucked the strings, and a soft melody flowed out. His eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes casting pale shadows, and the prelude was low and gentle.

Xia Ningqi timed it perfectly, held the microphone with both hands, and her thin lips parted slightly, her ethereal voice ringing out.

"Hearing Winter Leave"

I woke up in a certain month of a certain year.

"I think I'll wait and I'll look forward to it."

"But the future cannot be planned because of this."

...

Her voice was beautiful, clear and pure, and although she hadn't received any special training, it was still so beautiful that it made Qi Nan's ears pregnant.

Meeting you was the most beautiful accident.

"One day, the mystery will be solved."

Both of them were completely absorbed in it.

After the last line of the lyrics ended, Xia Ningqi slowly turned around and looked at Qi Nan.

He plucked the strings, bringing down the final note, his smile unchanged, which wasn't off-putting.

"How...are you feeling?"

Xia Ningqi was afraid that she would not sing well, so she pinched her fingertips and nervously put her feet together inward.

"hiss..."

Qi Nan stroked his chin, pretending to think, and waved it in front of Xia Ningqi again and again.

She became even more nervous.

Biting her lower lip, she mustered her courage and said, "I know I didn't sing well. If you don't like it, just say so."

Upon hearing this, Qi Nan stopped teasing her, stopped walking, straightened his collar, and put on a serious expression.

I feel...

Before she could finish her sentence, Xia Ningqi had already clenched her clothes, bracing herself for a scolding.

The next second, however, what reached her ears was, "I think you sang incredibly well."

"what?"

Xia Ningqi looked up and met Qi Nan's smiling eyes. "What did you say..."

"I said you sing incredibly well."

My ears are burning hot.

Xia Ningqi still felt that Qi Nan was just trying to make her happy.

You have no reason to lie to me.

Qi Nan said seriously, "I'm not lying to you. Your voice is simply a gift from an angel. It's so pleasant to listen to you sing."

The heat started from the base of my ears and went all the way up to my head.

Xia Ningqi murmured to herself.

Doesn't this guy feel ashamed when he compliments girls? Or is he like this with other girls too?

...

"Oh? Your face is so red, do you have a fever?"

Qi Nan noticed the change in Xia Ningqi's condition and reached out with some concern, then placed his hand on her forehead.

The pupils constrict slightly.

Xia Ningqi raised her long eyelashes, and even her heartbeat slowed down a beat.

"What...what are you doing?" After a moment of confusion, she slapped Qi Nan's hand away.

"You seem to have a fever; your forehead is burning hot."

Qi Nan, on the other hand, remained innocent and didn't think about it from any other angle.

Xia Ningqi's chest rose and fell slightly.

"I don't have a fever."

"Then let me touch it again."

"No! Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Qi Nan said innocently, "I just touched her forehead. Without a thermometer, this is the simplest way to confirm."

"That...that won't work either..."

Xia Ningqi would never let Qi Nan touch her again, because this time the touch would only be hotter than before, but she knew that she didn't actually have a fever.

Qi Nan blinked.

"Are you really alright?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little hot."

"Hot? But it's already November..."

Xia Ningqi pressed her hand against her chest and said fiercely, "That's just how my body is, mind your own business."

"All right..."

Qi Nan didn't want to argue with her, so he quickly added, "Shall we continue singing?"

"Um."

Xia Ningqi did not object to the suggestion.

After all... I had a lot of fun singing it...

-

One song after another.

The two sang and played instruments until late at night. Without being disturbed by others, they finished with another song, "Queen of Heaven".

Qi Nan glanced at his watch.

"It's already eleven o'clock, we should go back."

Xia Ningqi frowned. "So which song should we choose for our performance?"

"Then let's go with 'Queen'."

Why?

"Because this song is the first one that comes to mind."

Xia Ningqi said irritably, "Can't you be serious for once?"

Qi Nan muttered, "This is already very serious, and this song is indeed very suitable for singing in a large audience. Most importantly, it matches your voice perfectly."

Eyes facing each other.

Xia Ningqi was the first to look away. "Fine, I'll listen to you then."

"Who else can they listen to if not me? You know we're partners."

"It's only temporary."

A heartless woman.

Qi Nan packed up his guitar and they walked out of the private room side by side.

Just then.

The door to the next private room was also opened, and out came Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Rou, both with long faces.

She's not in a good mood right now.

The main reason is that the partners Ye Fan brought were all of poor quality.

She even got drunk and started acting like a hostess, reaching out and groping him. Even after all that, Ye Fan still defended her.

Although I know he did this to prevent the investment from falling through, it was still incredibly disrespectful to me.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. Brother Ye Fan has his reasons."

"Of course I know, but anyone would be angry if this happened to them, right? After all, I invested 100,000 yuan. Isn't he afraid I'll come after him for my money back?"

Tang Rou patted her back and comforted her, "This just shows that Brother Ye Fan considers you one of his own."

Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but then she saw Qi Nan and the other person coming out of the VIP room next door.

They stood side by side.

They felt exceptionally close and harmonious with each other.

Why should I be treated unfairly at karaoke, while they can be so happy?

Lin Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.

For a moment, he forgot his current identity and stepped in front of Qi Nan and his companion.

Looking at the woman in front of him, who reeked of alcohol and had a seductive and graceful figure, Qi Nan simply replied with two words.

"What's up?"

"Who gave you permission to bring her here?" Lin Xiaoxiao said angrily. "Didn't you say before that you would only bring me, one girl, to the VIP room?"

Qi Nan spoke calmly, uttering only three simple words: "Just kidding."

"You're lying...you're lying to me..."

Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and grabbed his collar, "Qi Nan, if you keep doing this, I will never forgive you."

Qi Nan remained silent, only glancing at the VIP attendant beside him. The attendant immediately understood and quickly stepped forward to pull Lin Xiaoxiao away.

"Madam, if you touch our VIP customers again, we will take special and forceful measures and permanently blacklist you."

Lin Xiaoxiao was forcibly pulled away and could only watch helplessly as Qi Nan and Xia Ningqi left. Only now did she realize that she had lost all her standing.

"Let's go, Xiaoxiao, let's ignore them. So what if they have a little money? What's the big deal?"

"But he used to only lick me."

"Now you see clearly, a man with such weak willpower is nowhere near as devoted as Brother Ye Fan!"
