"I was just worried that fans might recognize you, so I planned to send you to the car. What temper are you throwing now?" Ning Yichen furrowed his brows, his tone and look slightly impatient, all of which pushed Lu Qixi’s anger to its peak.
"Ning Yichen..." Her voice trembled, "Can’t you understand human speech? I’m not throwing a fit, I just simply want to set clear boundaries with you! Because... your presence is hindering me!"
"Lu Qixi!" Ning Yichen’s expression turned terrifyingly gloomy, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Your existence is hindering me." Lu Qixi repeated the phrase once again, suddenly smiling. "That’s right, it’s just like that. Because of your existence, I’ve lost a lot... so I hope you can stay away from me."
Ning Yichen pursed his lips tightly, watching her coldly.
"Don’t forget, to me, you’re just a... rapist." Lu Qixi suddenly spoke the words gently yet utterly icy, "Every time I see you, I’m reminded of this disgusting fact... so why can’t you be aware and disappear from my sight."
Ning Yichen’s complexion instantly turned as pale as paper!
His body tensed up, his teeth chattering as if he was trying hard to control something.
"Lu Qixi, it’s been four whole years... Is this how you see me?" He suddenly laughed hoarsely, "Very well, you did well."
"I never told you because I still had to use you." Lu Qixi laughed malevolently, not knowing why, seeing this man lose his composure over these words, she felt an indescribable pleasure in her heart, "Without you, how could I have achieved what I have today, how could I become the Heavenly Queen... But now I am successful and famous, so I don’t feel like humoring you anymore."
But Ning Yichen grew strangely calm.
He stared at her intently, a hoarse chuckle squeezing out of his throat after a long silence.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll grant your wish." He swallowed adamantly, "Lu Qixi, I hope you won’t regret this."
Under the moonlight, she laughed lightly, "Good, we’ve finally made things clear."
Leaving behind this remark, she turned and strode toward the car, her steps radiating a resolute determination.
Yes, it should have been made clear a long time ago, this ambiguous relationship... it should end already...
In the restaurant, Zhixi finished her main course, and Ning Yichen finally returned.
He sat down across from her, forcing a smile, "Sorry."
Zhixi looked at his exceedingly pale complexion, shaking her head, "It’s alright... I just didn’t expect that you knew Lu Qixi. The friend you mentioned earlier, that was her, right? She likes this restaurant, so she recommended it to you."
Ning Yichen paused for a moment, "It seems so."
"Yet you are here in this restaurant on a date with another woman." Zhixi glanced at him, "It would be strange if she wasn’t angry."
"It has nothing to do with that, she had the intention to break things off with me a long time ago." Ning Yichen took a deep breath, picking up the red wine to take a sip.
At that moment, the dessert arrived.
Ning Yichen pushed the dessert towards her, "I remember you used to love desserts."
"Hmm..." Zhixi eyed the dessert, her appetite suddenly gone, "But lately just looking at sweets makes me want to throw up, you have it instead."
With those words, she pushed it back in front of Ning Yichen.
