Qi couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay"Ning Shu shook her head and said, "Since we've broken up, then don't disturb each other's lives. Senior brother, I believe you're not a heartless person, and y...The company's speculations were immediately quelled.

But still, whispers spread privately: "What's the deal with Lin Qian I heard she's been seen with President Qi multiple times. Could he be into her Is it a Cinderella story From a regular employee to Mrs. Qi overnight"

Someone said sarcastically, “Mr. Qi has always been a gentleman. Who knows if Miss Lin is deliberately clinging to Mr. Qi There are so many coincidences.”

"Indeed, Qi is handsome and wealthy. Some people might have ulterior motives, but they should also consider their own status."

Another voice chimed in,

as if they had something else to add.

"Let's just drop this topic, shall we" The young man looked at them and said, "I know Lin Qian. She's not the kind of girl you think she is. As for Mr. Qi, I can vouch for him as well."

Everyone was a little surprised to see it was Ms. Ning's secretary.

They had always held Ms. Ning in high regard, and seeing him speak like this, they could only awkwardly retract their words. Besides, Ms. Ning was someone close to President Qi, and who knows what she might have said to him…

But when the young man left, one person couldn't help but say: "Why did Secretary Ning also speak up for this Lin Qian Does Lin Qian have that much charm I think she's just an ordinary girl."

"Well, you wouldn't know that, would you Ms. Ning works for Mr. Qi...Just think about it, who could get Ms. Ning to speak up..."

Zhu Zhu couldn't help but interrupt them: "Mr. Qi and Lin Qian have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Qi himself came forward to clarify. Don't you believe him"

Those people couldn't help but say, "But today someone saw General Qi with that Lin Qian..."

Zhu Zhu spoke eloquently, "Did you see any contact between Qi and her Any physical touch Was Qi ambiguous towards her Did he give her a ride to work or pick her up Did he go looking for her Nothing like that. Qi treated her just like anyone else."

Those people, after hearing this, also felt that it made sense.

Zhu Zhu seeing they still didn't fully believe her, couldn't help but say: "Even if Qi Zong has a lover, it couldn't possibly be this Lin Qian!"

Those people looked at her with suspicion, saying: "Zhu Zhu, why are you so angry Do you like President Qi too"

Zhu Zhu was just angry, she was afraid that Secretary Ning had heard those words and misunderstood President Qi. Secretary Ning didn't mind, helped Lin Qian speak, who knows how sad she might be inside.

What if these rumors break up Qi and Ning

These people were still talking coldly, and she got angry, saying: "Anyway, Qi always has a girlfriend! It's not this Lin Qian!"

Those people were all stunned: "Qi Zong has a lover How do you know!"

Zhu Zhu saw them all crowding around and instantly regretted her actions.

She had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "I saw it when I came back from work. Mr. Qi was standing with his lover. Mr. Qi even had his arms around her waist. But it was too dark, so I couldn't see what his lover looked like. She seemed very tall though, much taller than Lin Qian, who is only 1.6 meters tall. Mr. Qi's lover was probably about 1.7 meters tall, just a bit shorter than Mr. Qi."

....

The orange cat has lived at home for a while now. Besides when it sees Qi Jun, it still tends to avoid him, but it has gotten much more used to Liang Hao.

It's much rounder now than before, you can tell Liu Yi has taken very good care of it.

Ning Shu bent down and stroked its head.

If he is leaving, he will be taking the cat with him, after all, Mr. Qi doesn't like cats. He can probably tell, but he doesn't know if Little Orange can adapt to life outside of here

After all, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.

Mr. Ning, Xiaoju is ready to eat.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I've been looking for it all along. I never expected to find it with Mr. Ning."

Ning Shu pursed her lips and smiled, handing the orange cat over.

Aunt Liu carried him away.

Ning Shu suddenly thought of something and called out to her.

Aunt Liu asked, "Is there anything else, Mr. Ning"

Ning Shu paused for a moment and asked Aunt Liu what the orange cat usually eats.

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said: “Mr. Qi always lets the kitchen feed it the best, like imported canned food, goat milk... ”

Ning Shu felt a little embarrassed. This sounded quite expensive just from the description.

He subconsciously glanced at the orange cat, who was happily running over to eat.

Aunt Liu said again, "But Xiaoju is easy to take care of. It eats whatever you give it. It likes a particular brand of cat food the best; it won't even touch anything else."

Ning Shu then asked what brand of cat food it was, worried that Xiaoju might not be used to his old food if he went back with him. However, he figured he could probably buy some cat food.

Auntie Liu mentioned the name of that brand.

Ning Shu checked online and found that although it was a bit expensive, he didn't have much of an economic burden right now, so he could still afford to give Xiaoju these conditions.

He looked at the clothes in the wardrobe. Ning Shu had brought her own when she came.

But later he didn't wear it much because Qi Jun had new clothes made for him.

Ning Shu's old clothes were all placed at the back of the closet.

He hesitated for a moment, but still took it out, planning to clean it up first.

Ning Shu was tidying up in her room when she heard a knock on the door.

Aunt Liu said outside, "Mr. Ning, may I come in"

Ning Shu turned around, put the things aside first, and then walked over and opened the door. Aunt Liu stood at the door, holding that brand of cat food and said: "Mr. Ning, this is the one, you see, there's a label on it that looks very similar to it. I almost bought the wrong one before."

Ning Shu took a look and said thank you.

Aunt Liu, however, noticed something amiss in the room. Her sharp eyes spotted that the clothes on the bed were all neatly folded together. She expressed her surprise and said, "Mr. Ning is tidying up the room You could have just called me."

Ning Shu was startled, and quickly said, "I just tidied up some old clothes."

"No help needed."

Aunt Liu nodded: "Then I'll go down first, Mr. Ning."

Ning Shu closed the door and continued to tidy his own clothes. After thinking for a moment, he decided to put them aside first. If things ended with Mr. Qi, he would put them back in later.

Qi Jun went back home for a visit.

His older sister also came back to have a meal.

Sister probed, "Ajun, I heard you've been dating recently Is that true"

Qi Jun slowly put down his cutlery. A calm expression settled on his refined and handsome face. He hummed softly, then said in a low voice, "Sister should have heard too, I'm indeed dating someone."

Qi Mu and the others showed expressions of surprise, but quickly asked, "Which noble daughter"

Qi Jun raised his hand and took a napkin.

"I'm just an ordinary person, nothing special. We agreed before that my marriage doesn't need to be a family alliance."

Qi Fu said, "When are you planning to let us meet"

Sister suddenly changed her expression slightly, and interjected: "We've only been dating for a short time, there's no need to be so hasty, right"

Qi Jun glanced at her but didn't speak.

Only when the dinner was over, Qi Jun's sister came over and said: "He is a man, and he is still your secretary, Ah Jun. Even if our family doesn't need you to get married, this is too out of line."

Qi Jun said: "Just like you insisted on marrying my brother-in-law, I feel the same way about Secretary Ning."

He said calmly, "Sister, you just need to stand on my side. I heard you've taken a liking to a small island recently. How about I auction it off in your name"

Sister's face immediately changed: "Fine, anyway I think you'll probably never like anyone, men or women are the same to you."

Qi Jun let out a low chuckle and continued, "When I've stabilized the person, I'll bring him to meet you. Don't scare him off."

The sister became increasingly curious about this man. She was eager to see what kind of person could captivate her brother, who had always been so emotionally guarded that people shied away from him.

....

When Qi Jun came back, Ning Shu was also in the hall.

He came back to have dinner with the young man.

After seeing Mr. Ning go upstairs first, Auntie Liu looked at Qi Jun.

"Mr. Qi, I have something I want to tell you."

She felt that Mr. Ning seemed a little strange today, unlike his usual self. Aunt Liu pondered for a while, but still felt that these things should be told to Mr. Qi.

In Mr. Qi's opinion, Mr. Ning seemed to have gone too far in his pursuit of Miss Ning.

In the past, Mr. Qi would always eat dinner at his home before returning. However, ever since Mr. Ning moved in, they always save a meal for him to eat when he comes back.

Qi Jun's eyes narrowed slightly.

He said, “What happened today”

Aunt Liu said, "It's not a big deal, really. I just thought it was necessary to let Mr. Qi know. Today, when Mr. Ning was at home, he suddenly asked me what Xiao Ju usually eats and even asked about the brand of cat food."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the man opposite her.

Mr. Qi did not appear to have much of a change in expression, he just said solemnly, "What else"

Aunt Liu continued, " ...Then when I went to Mr. Ning's room, I just happened to see Mr. Ning packing his clothes. Those clothes I looked at were all the ones Mr. Ning had brought originally..."

After she finished speaking, she wasn't sure if she had said too much and added: "I thought Mr. Ning was going to leave, but Mr. Ning has been here all along. I guess Mr. Ning just thinks those are old clothes, so he took them out to organize."

Qi Jun stood opposite, without saying a word.

But Aunt Liu noticed that the atmosphere around Mr. Qi had changed. Although Mr. Qi wasn't exactly unapproachable, after all, he was a young master from a prominent family. Even if he was courteous and well-mannered, there was always a layer of distance that made people feel unable to get close to him.

And at this time, Mr. Qi didn't even have the former, and when Aunt Liu saw this, she was terrified.his jaw was set, ever so slightly tense.His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.Ning Shu quickly got the tools for picking snails. He always felt like it wasn't quite right to leave Han Xi alone in the field...
