Chapter 988: The distance between friends
Seeing that Xia Ning was hanging her head low and not saying a word, Qiao Yu frowned.”Does the wine taste good?”
“No, I didn ‘t!” Xia Ning looked at him and kept shaking her head.
“If you haven’t had enough, I’ll drink more with you when we get back.” Qiao Yu looked ahead and said lightly.
“That’s enough, that’s enough. I don’t want to drink anymore,”Xia Ning said hurriedly.
“Really?” Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows.
“I was wrong. I promise I won’t drink it again. I have no choice today.” Xia Ning promised.
Qiao Yu looked at her suspiciously.
Xia Ning had no choice but to explain,”you know that I’m not going to drink at a social event, so Jin Yan will have to drink. Even Zhao Chong thought that there was something going on between us. If I really let him take my place, I won’t be able to explain it to him.”
Hearing this, Qiao Yu’s dark eyes moved and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Seeing how surprised he was, Xia Ning chuckled and said,”I know what you’re upset about. I’ve been thinking about it recently. I think it’s probably because I’ve been too close to Jin Yan. Not only you, but everyone else also thinks that there’s something going on between us. I think this must have caused Jin Yan a lot of trouble. I even suspect that Li man’s breakup with him had something to do with this. Of course, if it’s because of this misunderstanding that they broke up, I think it’s a good thing.”
Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning’s delicate face. Her every frown and smile was so vivid, especially now.
It turned out that during the period of separation, it wasn’t just him. She had also been thinking about the problems between them and was working hard.
No one was perfect. It was okay to have flaws, but each other’s partners were the only one. Friends and lovers were different. She had already understood this.
Qiao Yu thought of another question and asked,””Have you told Jin Yan about this?”
“What?” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu in confusion.
“It’s nothing. I think Jin Yan will be very happy to hear you say this.” Qiao Yu held Xia Ning’s hand and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. It was good that he didn’t know.
At the mention of Jin Yan, Xia Ning couldn’t help but sigh.”I hope Jin Yan can get over Li man’s shadow soon. He almost tore up the contract because of Li Man today. If he were to breach the contract, he wouldn’t be able to afford the penalty given his current financial situation. President Zhao wants me to partic.i.p.ate in the reality show with him, but Jin Yan doesn’t want to implicate me, so he refused to agree no matter what. He’s under a lot of pressure now.”
A reality show on Apple TV? “Is it ‘in love, we have to be together’?” Qiao ran frowned and asked.
“You know?” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu in surprise.
“Yes.”
Qiao ran nodded.
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu in surprise and smiled,””You really know a lot about the entertainment industry.”
“If Jin Yan agrees,” Qiao Yu said in a low voice,”you’re going to attend the reality show with him?”
Xia Ning was speechless. She suddenly felt like slapping herself.
“Why would I? I rejected him!” Xia Ning immediately made her stand clear.
Qiao Yu looked ahead and said,””You don’t want to help Jin Yan?”
“I want to, but not like this.” Xia Ning looked at the side of Qiao Yu’s face and smiled,”there are many ways to help him. If he wants to breach the contract, I can lend him money. If he wants to partic.i.p.ate in this reality show, I can help him find a female guest that will be on good terms with him.”
The car suddenly stopped and Xia Ning asked,””What’s wrong? You’re out of gas?” Just as she tilted her head, a large hand suddenly clasped her head. A dark shadow attacked her from the side, and the next moment, she felt something warm on her lips.
