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

Friday arrived.

The day the party was held.

It took Xia Ningqi two hours to finish her makeup. This was much slower than girls who wear makeup regularly, but it was the result of her studying hard all night.

After checking herself in the mirror repeatedly to make sure she wasn't wearing makeup, Xia Ningqi finally left her room and went to Qi Nan's door next door.

Raise your hand.

Xia Ningqi hesitated for a few seconds before knocking.

"Knock knock".

After waiting for a while, no one opened the door.

She tried a few more times, but the result was the same.

Did they go out?

Xia Ningqi was a little disappointed and was just about to leave when she heard footsteps coming from one side of the corridor.

I turned my head and looked.

Just then, Qi Nan and Su Qing came upstairs, and Li was carrying a bag with the Gucci logo on it.

"It's Sister Xia!"

Su Qing noticed Xia Ningqi and pointed in her direction.

Qi Nan looked out.

He discovered that the girl standing at his door was Xia Ningqi.

I was amazed. No wonder she's the female lead; she has such a great foundation. With just a simple makeup, she looks like a supermodel.

"Sister, sister, you look so beautiful today! You look just like a movie star on TV!"

Su Qing, with her short legs, ran all the way to Xia Ningqi, and then, like a gecko, tightly hugged her thigh.

Xia Ningqi bent down and pinched her chubby cheeks.

"Xiao Qing, what brings you here today?"

"Because my brother said he wanted to buy you a pretty dress, he asked me to go to the mall with him to pick one out."

"skirt?"

Xia Ningqi looked up in confusion and met Qi Nan's gaze.

He shook the bag of clothes in his hand.

"This is for you."

Xia Ningqi didn't take it immediately, but instead asked, "Why did you buy this for me?"

"It's what I wear for the performance."

"I'll just dress casually...it's not like I'm going on a blind date..."

Qi Nan smiled faintly, "That won't do. It would be a shame if such an authoritative face didn't match with a suitable dress."

"Yes, yes, Sister Xia, please accept it. Xiao Qing also wants to see you in a dress."

Faced with the two attacking from both sides, Xia Ningqi was really struggling to hold on.

He reached out and took the bag.

"That's possible, but I need to see you collect the money for the surgery."

"Oh, this..."

Qi Nan sighed.

That girl is still so stubborn.

"Okay, I can take the money, but you have to promise me that I won't put your life in trouble after I take it."

"No way..."

Xia Ningqi had already made up her mind. At worst, she would only eat one meal a day and get through this month and she would feel better.

It seemed as if they had anticipated what she was thinking.

Qi Nan put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't even think about lying to me."

Xia Ningqi pursed her lips and turned her head away. "I...I didn't lie to you..."

"Has anyone ever told you that it's easy to tell when you're lying with your facial expressions?"

The autumn wind blew across the girl's face, ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead.

Xia Ningqi's canine teeth dug into her lower lip, a hint of shame and indignation flashing in her eyes. "What you think is your own business, but I still won't owe you money."

Qi Nan sighed, "Then let's pay in installments. Just pay me back five hundred a month."

Very sound advice.

Xia Ningqi thought for a moment and realized that continuing the stalemate would not yield any results, so she nodded and reluctantly agreed.

The interlude ends.

Qi Nan shoved the bag into her hand. "Go inside and try it on to see if it fits. If the size is wrong, you'll have to go to the store to exchange it."

Xia Ningqi entered the room, closed the door, and then opened the bag containing the dress.

I discovered that the bag contained not only a dress but also a pair of high heels, which should be part of a set with the same design.

...

Qi Nan waited at the door.

He leaned against the slightly rusty railing and yawned lazily.

"Brother Nan, can Xiao Qing come to see your performance tonight too?"

"Of course you can, but you'll have to talk to your dad and ask him to arrange two bodyguards for you."

"Yay!"

Su Qing clapped her hands, her smile healing.

Just as the two were talking.

The door to the next room opened from the inside, and Xia Ningqi stood gracefully in a white dress. The perfectly draped haute couture white dress swayed gently in the wind, and the just-right length revealed her slender ankles. Further down, silver high heels outlined her beautiful lines while also revealing her bony insteps with blue veins.

Just look around.

Sunlight shone on the girl's profile, making her look pure and gentle, beautiful beyond compare.

Qi Nan was somewhat lost in thought.

Oh my god, this is so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous.

"Is there something dirty on me?"

Seeing that Qi Nan was staring at her blankly without saying a word, Xia Ningqi wondered if she had something on her.

Unexpectedly, Qi Nan coughed lightly, blushing as he explained, "No...nothing dirty...I'm just a lecherous person."

Lustful?

Xia Ningqi blushed and turned her face away upon hearing this, "So you think it looks good?"

"Yes, she's prettier than any girl I've ever seen in my life."

"Who...who told you to answer like that..." Xia Ningqi clenched her skirt tightly with one hand, her face so red it looked like it could be pinched dry.

"I'm telling the truth..."

The words were spoken.

Both of them looked away awkwardly, but Su Qing finally broke the silence.

"Sister Xia is so beautiful, she's practically an angel."

Then she took their hands, her eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter, "Indeed, Xiao Qing still feels you and Brother Nan are a better match. How about Xiao Qing gives Brother Nan to you? I'll be Brother Nan's sister, and Sister Xia will be Brother Nan's wife."

"Who...who wants to be his wife...We...we're sworn enemies..."

Qi Nan chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Xiao Qing, you can't just say things like that. How could your Xia-jie and I possibly be together?"

I'm a villain, how could I possibly have the right to compete with the male lead for the female lead...

"Well, you two are really weird."

Xia Ningqi put her hands behind her back, glanced at Qi Nan, and felt her mind was in a mess.

This guy says he's good-looking... is he really telling the truth...?

Logically speaking, shouldn't he prefer a sexy and fashionable girl like Lin Xiaoxiao?

While deep in thought.

Qi Nan's voice came from beside her ear, "Your neckline is pulled a little low, isn't it?"

Xia Ningqi looked down and saw the small slit peeking out from her chest, but she didn't care too much. "This dress is already low-cut and off-the-shoulder. If I pull it up any higher, it will be too tight and stuffy."

Qi Nan's gaze fell on her chest. "I didn't expect that you, who look so thin, would have such perfect curves. I underestimated you. I should have picked a bigger one."

"You filthy scoundrel!" Xia Ningqi clutched her chest. "You were looking so closely, so you really do like Xiong Da, huh?"
