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

The next day.

The sun shone on him, and Qi Nan opened his eyes, his mind still in a daze.

"here it is?"

He caught a faint floral scent emanating from the pillow, but it wasn't a familiar smell.

With his loose collar drooping, he looked around, his mind filled only with memories of his drunken state.

Just now.

Xia Ningqi came out of the bathroom.

She was wearing a headband, so she must have just washed her face.

Startled, Qi Nan shrank back under the covers, peeking out with his head and asking in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

"This is my home, where else could I be?"

"Your home?"

Qi Nan blinked and saw the lined dog decorations on the wall, confirming that this was Xia Ningqi's apartment.

"Did you bring me back last night?"

Xia Ningqi took off her headband, and her fluffy bangs fell down, covering half of her face. She said sarcastically, "Hmph, you'd better grow wings and fly back when you're drunk."

She looked quite charming at home, but Qi Nan wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.

Did you keep your promise to me?

"Um."

Xia Ningqi's answer was only one simple word.

Knowing that she wasn't lying, Qi Nan felt a little relieved. After all, the longer this matter dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for the company.

While pondering.

Xia Ningqi had already arrived at the bedside.

"Did you sleep well?"

"It's alright, I just had a dream where a strange woman was forcing me to take medicine."

Xia Ningqi's eyelids twitched. "What I meant was for you to get up right away."

"oh..."

Qi Nan actually wanted to sleep a little longer, but this wasn't his own room, and it wasn't appropriate to keep sleeping in someone else's bed.

As he got up, straightening his disheveled clothes, he seemed to remember something and asked Xia Ningqi, "By the way, you let me sleep in your bed yesterday, so where did you sleep?"

"Sleep...of course, I'll sleep face down on the table..."

Before Qi Nan could even question her, Xia Ningqi immediately denied it, "Don't get the wrong idea, I... I would never sleep in the same bed as you..."

Qi Nan scratched his head.

"I didn't think about it either..."

"It's best not to think about it, but even if you did, it's impossible."

Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the apartment.

Qi Nan looked at Xia Ningqi, "Do you offer door-to-door delivery?"

"No, I have never ordered a courier service to deliver to my door."

"Who could it be?"

With a bad feeling in her heart, Xia Ningqi went to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Ningqi, Mom has come to see you."

Shen Wanping?

The two looked at each other, their faces showing panic.

If she finds out that he and Xia Ningqi are in the same room, he won't be able to clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Xia Ningqi frowned.

Pointing to the wardrobe, she lowered her voice and said anxiously, "Go hide there first."

"Okay."

Qi Nan did as instructed, opened the wardrobe, and climbed inside without a second thought.

Some of them look like mistresses caught cheating.

Once I regained my balance, I heard the sound of the door opening.

"Honey, what happened just now? Why did it take you so long to open the door?"

"No, it's nothing. I don't usually like to wear clothes at home, so I just put on a shirt."

"Oh, I see. You should be careful then. It's been cold lately, so don't catch a cold."

"Okay, Mom, I'll be more careful in the future."

...

Qi Nan didn't listen to what happened next because the wardrobe was so narrow that he felt like he was having trouble even breathing.

What made him feel most embarrassed was that although there were so many clothes hanging in the closet, his position was directly in front of Xia Ningqi's underwear, the flesh-colored fabric pressed against his eyes, as if he were wearing an eye mask.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

Qi Nan silently repented, realizing he truly hadn't meant to...

The sofa at this moment.

Shen Wanping held Xia Ningqi's hand, "Daughter, do you have enough living expenses?"

"Yes, that's enough."

Since she was found, Qi Qinghe gave her a card with a full five million in it, and it was only a one-month credit limit. It would be a miracle if she could spend it all.

The two then chatted briefly about everyday matters.

Whether unintentionally or intentionally, Shen Wanping gradually steered the conversation toward the apartment.

"By the way, honey, I remember there's a male resident in the apartment next door, right? Do you know his name?"

With her methods, investigating would be a piece of cake, so Xia Ningqi honestly replied, "It's Qi Nan."

Feigning surprise, Shen Wanping covered her mouth, "Isn't that the boy who bullied you? He lives next door to you, could he have ulterior motives?"

Any other plans?

Is it for their own money, or for their own lust...?

"Don't worry, he hasn't done anything outrageous yet, and although he used to be bad, he's more normal now..."

"Oh? It seems you two interact quite a bit."

Xia Ningqi didn't know how to answer, so she just nodded shyly.

"I watched your performance with him at the party; he's actually quite good-looking."

"That's its only advantage."

"Is that your type?"

"No, he's the one I hate the most."

Noticing the hint of shyness in Xia Ningqi's eyes, Shen Wanping had already achieved her goal. After all, they had both grown up together, and Xia Ningqi's little schemes couldn't escape Shen Wanping's notice.

Then, just as Xia Ningqi was in a daze, Shen Wanping leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Have you ever had that kind of experience?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?"

"It's x"

Xia Ningqi's face instantly turned as red as a dragon fruit, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, I've never..."

"I see."

Shen Wanping smiled knowingly. "Our Ningqi hasn't been in a relationship at all since she was little, has she?"

"No...no..."

Xia Ningqi gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

She used to struggle to make ends meet, so how could she have time to think about romance...

"Since that's the case, let me, your mother, share some of my experience with you. Let's start with how your father and I met..."

Shen Wanping spoke at length with great emotion.

Xia Wanning listened attentively with interest, completely forgetting that Qi Nan was still in the closet.

Until the sound of an elbow accidentally hitting the wardrobe door came from inside.

Shen Wanping turned to look at the wardrobe. "I think I heard something make a sound from there."

"Huh? You must have misheard, right? Or maybe the facilities here aren't very good, so it's normal for there to be some noise occasionally."

"All right..."

"Oh right, Mom, I just remembered I made plans to go out with some friends this morning, and it's almost time, so I need to get ready a bit..."

"Shall I drive you there?"

"No need, no need, you can go and do your own thing."
