Xia Ningqi frowned. "What makes you think I hired paparazzi?"

Qi Nan was a little angry. "I just happened to run into a friend and chatted with her for a while. How could this be photographed? If it weren't for the paparazzi, I would have eaten shit."

"Then you really are like a dog."

"Besides, so what if I'm close to her?" Qi Nan slapped Xia Ningqi's hand away. "Is it wrong for me to go shopping with a friend?"

He could tolerate most things.

The only thing that made Qi Nan physically disgusted was being photographed by paparazzi, which violated his privacy. After all, no one wants to be constantly watched by a hidden pair of eyes while they are doing their private business.

Xia Ningqi looked at the red mark on the back of her hand.

My mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

"Qi Nan, what do you mean?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just find your actions disgusting."

What I did was wrong.

Xia Ningqi's body began to tremble. She had just come out of the train station and rushed to the Qi family without even going home, only to receive this response. He was the one who broke the contract, so why was it so difficult for her to just ask for an apology?

Just now.

Jiang Qin appeared at an inopportune moment, carrying a plate of freshly made desserts. "Ningqi, Auntie has brought you some snacks."

The dog didn't eat any dog ​​food at all.

But then they saw Xia Ningqi pinching Qi Nan.

"Qi Nan, do you really dislike me? Do you find me annoying?"

The girl looked pitiful.

But if that would settle the matter, Qi Nan gritted his teeth and decided to harden his heart. He then nodded and said, "Yeah, I just find you annoying, so let's not associate with each other anymore. It's better for both of us."

This is the second time I've heard hurtful words from him.

Xia Ningqi finally couldn't hold back her tears, which fell one by one onto Qi Nan's lips. The taste was salty, with a bitter aftertaste.

"Okay, very good, Qi Nan, you are really good."

The girl's voice was almost squeezed out through clenched teeth. Realizing that she might have gone a bit too far, Qi Nan's hair began to stand on end.

Wait a minute...

She's the female lead; isn't he just asking for trouble?

Qi Nan was also angry just now and couldn't control his mouth for a moment.

Just as I was about to say something to ease the tension, Xia Ningqi completely ignored me, got up, grabbed her suitcase, and ran out the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin reached out to take her hand, but missed.

"Ningqi, don't go yet. Qi Nan is clumsy with words, don't take it too hard. I'll teach him a lesson."

No matter how Jiang Qin tried to persuade her to stay, Xia Ningqi never stopped.

Qi Nan got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and for some reason, felt inexplicably bad.

Jiang Qin stormed back, unleashing her fury, "You brat, are you really stupid? She's the daughter of the Xia family, after all. Do you think Xia Qinghe and Shen Wanping will let our Qi family off the hook if she goes back looking like this?"

Qi Nan remained silent.

It seems that every time he tries to get rid of Xia Ningqi, fate becomes a whirlpool, pulling him back into an even deeper entanglement.

If the soft approach didn't work before, Qi Nan decided to use a hard approach this time. In order to prevent the plot from going off track, he had to sever this wrong path decisively. Although he knew he would be punished sooner or later, it would be better to end it all quickly than to hurt each other.

If you're lucky, you can save your life and even escape the main storyline. If you're unlucky, you can just close your eyes and wait for the resurrection cooldown to end, and you'll still be a hero.

"Qi Nan, can't you have any emotional intelligence at all?"

Emotional intelligence? What is emotional intelligence? Sorry, my emotional intelligence was ruined ten years ago by diarrhea.

Most importantly, Qi Nan knew that his kindness towards Xia Ningqi was all calculated, and that there was no mutual affection between them. Moreover, he was not the original owner of this body and had his own white moonlight, even though she was not in this world and was not his partner. But that did not prevent him from being devoted to her.

This time, Jiang Qin didn't indulge him anymore. "You're really stubborn, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. It's time for you to suffer a bit, otherwise you'll never be able to see the difference between reality and fantasy."

Qi Nan understood what she meant. The so-called "bearing the consequences" was nothing more than letting him bear the Xia family's wrath alone.

In the living room of the Xia family, the young master Li Zhaonian held a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

He had come to propose and was chatting with Shen Wanping at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Zhao Nian, whether or not to accept your proposal depends on Ning Qi's own decision. After all, it's a matter of feelings that we parents can't decide on our own."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhaonian nodded in understanding. "It's alright, Aunt Shen. I'm here today just to express my feelings. Ever since I returned home from that party, I haven't been able to forget Ning Qi. Only today have I dared to make up my mind to pursue her."

"I see," Shen Wanping nodded politely. "Then good luck. If there's anything you need, you can ask me to pass on a message to Ningqi. Our families are similar in social standing, so it would be best if you two could get together."

"Well, since Ningqi isn't here today, could I ask you for her contact information?"

"Haha, of course."

Just as the two were having a good chat...

The door to the house was pushed open, and Xia Ningqi walked in from outside, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wanping rushed forward, her heart aching with concern. "Ningqi, what happened to you? Your eyes are all swollen from crying!"

"It's okay, Mom... I'll go upstairs now..."

"Is it because of that kid from the Qi family?"

Xia Ningqi's eyes reddened. "Mom, please don't mention him anymore."

Why?

"Because I absolutely hate him!"

Flirting and then running away—what's the difference between that and a scumbag? I don't want to like that kind of man!

It was that kid again!

Shen Wanping could no longer contain her anger. After wiping away Xia Ningqi's tears, she comforted her, "It's okay, my dear. Your mother will stand up for you."

"Mom, Aunt Jiang and the others are good people, only Qi Nan is a bad guy. I don't want you to involve other people."

"Don't worry, honey, I know what I'm doing."

Xia Ningqi was exhausted, both physically and mentally. "Then I'll be going now."

"Wait a minute, honey, Zhao Nian is looking for you and wants to have a chat."

Xia Ningqi looked at Li Zhaonian with teary eyes, and the next second, without thinking, she shook her head, "Mom, I'm not in the mood to chat right now..."

Li Zhaonian said considerately, "It's alright. Since Miss Xia is in a bad mood today, I can visit her again next time."

He didn't say much.

Xia Ningqi turned around and walked upstairs.

Li Zhaonian rested his chin on his hand.

Well, it seems I'll have to take better care of this Qi Nan from now on.

After seeing Li Zhaonian off, Shen Wanping dialed Xia Huai's number. "The notice has been sent out. Qi Nan is to sever all ties with the Qi family and leave with nothing. If there are any future financial dealings, all of the Qi family's businesses will be wiped out!"
