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

Only Qi Nan himself knows how great his winter vacation was.

No need to struggle to get up and study every day, no need to worry about future employment. All he has to do is wake up in his "800-square-meter" bed every day, have a housekeeper prepare breakfast for him, which he can elegantly savor, and then go to the luxurious courtyard, set up a parasol and a beach chair, put on black sunglasses, and sunbathe for an hour, while also eating some cherries and watching some movies. His life is comparable to that of an emperor.

The only drawback is that Su Qing always puts pressure on him, passing by him every day like a ghost, looking at him with a look of utter disappointment, and constantly sighing as if he had some incurable terminal illness.

Nowadays.

Qi Nan lay on the beach chair as usual, photosynthesizing.

I heard hurried footsteps.

"Hey kid, wake up! I just got some good news."

Before you see him, you hear his voice.

Qi Nan pressed down his sunglasses and saw Jiang Qin with a big smile on her face.

"Ms. Jiang, what good fortune have you encountered? Did you win money at mahjong again today?"

"Go away, if that were really the case, would I be so happy to tell you?"

Qi Nan was a little confused.

"Then tell me, what good thing happened?"

Jiang Qin didn't explain immediately, but threw the banquet invitation into Qi Nan's arms.

"See for yourself."

Qi Nan slowly opened the invitation and read its contents.

"Xia Ningqi's official business banquet..."

"Yes, all the prominent entrepreneurs from Linhai and Beijing will attend."

Qi Nan was still a little confused. "Is our family really that big of a company?"

"And didn't they suppress our company not long ago..."

"I was also surprised, but since they invited us, we'll still go."

Qi Nan returned the invitation to Jiang Qin, "Then you two go ahead."

"What are you thinking? People specifically requested that we bring the younger generation to exchange ideas. This is a rare opportunity to make friends with outstanding second-generation peers and get along well with them. It can only benefit our family."

"Is it possible for me to refuse?"

"If you don't mind sleeping on the street afterward, you can give it a try."

Qi Nan swallowed hard.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

This time he did not refuse.

After all, it's just a banquet; you eat and drink and then it's over. As for what friends you make, that depends entirely on your own mood.

"You've been obedient today."

"Of course, I will do my best to fulfill any request from Mother."

"Hmph, you're just being cheeky. I know exactly what you're thinking."

Qi Nan was helpless.

"Mother, you're really hurting my feelings."

"Go to the clinic and get some medicine when you're sad."

Qi Nan: ....

...

"Ningqi, you'll definitely look good in this tomorrow."

Inside the Xia family mansion, Shen Wanping had been tirelessly selecting dresses for Xia Ningqi for a long time, and finally chose the one that best suited her from among many styles.

Looking at myself in the full-length mirror, dressed in a gorgeous outfit.

Xia Ningqi felt somewhat dazed.

A moment later, Shen Wanping's praise rang out again, "She's already this beautiful even without makeup, no wonder she's my own daughter."

Her praise was always so unreserved.

Xia Ningqi's cheeks flushed slightly. "Mom, you're making me feel embarrassed."

"Haha, Mom, I was just telling the truth."

Shen Wanping placed her hand on Xia Ningqi's shoulder, "My girl is so beautiful, she'll definitely attract a lot of boys tomorrow, and I bet a whole bunch of them will come to propose."

"Mom, I haven't thought about getting married yet."

"Don't worry, Mom. I respect your opinion the most. Unless it's someone you like, I will never agree to it, no matter how good their conditions are."

"Yes, thank you, Mom."

Xia Ningqi's anxiety subsided slightly.

However, Shen Wanping's words quickly startled her again: "But Xiaoqi, if you have a boy you like, you must tell your mother, okay? Your mother will help you."

"Okay... I understand..."

Knowing that she meant well, Xia Ningqi didn't say anything more and just quietly agreed.

She also picked out some accessories to wear tomorrow.

These are all Shen Wanping's own treasured items. Whether it's a diamond necklace or pearl earrings, each piece is stunning in appearance and quite expensive.

"Okay, that's enough for today. I'm going to go to my room and sleep now."

"Okay, goodnight."

Xia Ningqi smiled and waved to her.

It seems that since entering the Xia family, her words and actions have become more refined and elegant than before.

Shen Wanping left in her slippers.

Xia Ningqi was left all alone in the huge room.

It's been so long since I've seen that jerk...

Xia Ningqi counted on her fingers, and it seemed like only five days had passed, but it felt like a month had gone by.

I wonder what he does every day now...

In the few days since they separated, Xia Ningqi felt her heart becoming increasingly restless. She even had a strange dream last night, and when she woke up, she was drenched in sweat.

As for the diary.

She didn't know what to write anymore, because she had promised to only record happy things, but lately, nothing seemed to have happened that made her happy.

...

Shen Wanping left the room.

They happened to run into Xia Huai, who was returning from the company.

"Mom, why do you look so happy?"

"Tomorrow the whole capital will know that Ningqi is my daughter, and of course I'm very happy."

"Oh, I see..."

Xia Huai nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Shen Wanping in confusion, "By the way, Mom, why did we invite the Qi family to this banquet? That boy named Qi Nan clearly did so many things to hurt Ning Qi."

"His situation is rather special."

"What's so special about it? If you hadn't suddenly stopped my pressure last time, the entire Qi family would be bankrupt because of him now."

After listening to him finish speaking, Shen Wanping slowly said, "This was not my decision, but Ning Qi's own request."

"Did Ningqi request this herself?"

Xia Huai didn't understand, but since that was the case, he had nothing to complain about.

"She must have her reasons for doing this."

"After all, we missed so many years of her life, how could we possibly know what she was truly thinking?"

Back to the main topic.

Shen Wanting asked, "Is everything prepared for tomorrow?"

"Mom, you can rest assured about what I do. When have I ever let you down? I've already prepared all the celebrities to be invited, as well as the decorations and food for the hall."

"That's good."
