"no……"

Qi Ruo wanted to say that this was not what she meant.

She just wanted to remind Qi Ning that she didn't want the bouquet of flowers.

But Qi Ning didn't give her a chance to explain. She didn't even listen to her finish speaking before continuing upstairs.

The living room, which had been bustling just moments before, was now quiet.

Qi Ruo's gaze lingered on the bouquet of roses.

She couldn't help but think that only someone who has lived in love since childhood would be indifferent to such things.

This bouquet of flowers probably meant nothing to Qi Ning; she could easily discard it.

But for someone like her, it's different.

If she were the one receiving the flowers, she would definitely cherish them.

Thinking about this, Qi Ruo felt a little ridiculous.

She held the bouquet of flowers, unsure of what to do with them.

Shen Yunhui had no idea what Qi Ruo was thinking. Seeing Qi Ruo staring blankly at the bouquet of flowers, she pulled her over.

"What are you doing with these flowers? Didn't Fu Shiyi give them to Qi Ning?"

"Yes, but it seems like my sister doesn't want it anymore."

"What are you going to do with her if she doesn't want her anymore?"

Shen Yunhui was unaware of the affair between Qi Ruo and Fu Shiyi.

Several years ago, when Qi Ruo and Fu Shiyi were dating, she was still in college and kept it a secret from Shen Yunhui.

"Zhang Ma, you can take it and deal with it."

Shen Yunhui handed the bouquet of flowers to the maid.

"Okay, ma'am."

After the maid took the flowers away, only the mother and daughter remained in the living room.

Shen Yunhui said enviously, "Look, Fu Shiyi is indeed outstanding. He comes from a good family and is considerate and polite in his dealings with others. Not only that, he is also so good to your sister. Qi Ning is really lucky to have such a fiancé."

After a pause, Shen Yunhui suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't seen you and Song Wenze meet together lately. He hasn't come to the Qi family to see you or take you out to dinner. You're engaged, so why are you acting like strangers?"

“Song Wenze? He… he’s probably too busy,” Qi Ruo stammered.

At first, Song Wenze was quite attentive to Qi Ruo. He was gentle and considerate, often giving her gifts and inviting her out to dinner.

However, Qi Ruo always felt a little awkward around him and made excuses to refuse his invitations several times.

I don't know if it's for this reason, or because he's really too busy, but Song Wenze has hardly contacted her recently.

Since Song Wenze didn't contact her first, Qi Ruo felt a little more relaxed and didn't contact him either.

Based on this, the two have indeed grown increasingly distant over this period of time, and they don't seem like an engaged couple at all.

Shen Yunhui curled her lips: "No matter how busy you are, can you be busier than Fu Shiyi? It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others. It's one thing that Song Wenze's family background and career ability are not as good as Fu Shiyi's, but he also doesn't value you at all."

She couldn't help but say, "If only your father had chosen Fu Shiyi as your marriage partner..."

Shen Yunhui's words startled Qi Ruo.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense, or someone might overhear you!"

Qi Ruo interrupted Shen Yunhui and looked around nervously. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one else in the living room.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? There's no one else here. I was just saying it casually, and I was talking about someone like Fu Shiyi, not Fu Shiyi himself."

Qi Ruoxin was in a state of utter confusion: "Okay, Mom, stop talking."

"Fine, I won't say, but you and Song Wenze..."

Shen Yunhui was still muttering something, but Qi Ruo didn't really listen.

Qi Ruo and her daughter were talking downstairs, but Qi Ning didn't come downstairs for the entire afternoon.

She handled some work matters in her study upstairs, and didn't forget to send a message to Fu Jinnan.

They had just returned from a business trip, and to prevent Fu Jinnan from forgetting about her while he was busy, Qi Ning wanted to strike while the iron was hot and keep in touch with him.

Ideally, she would make him think of her all the time...

At that moment, Fu Jinnan was in a meeting at the company when his phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the phone screen and saw Qi Ning's name.

Qi Ning was picked up by Fu Shiyi, so why didn't she stay with him this afternoon? She even had time to send him messages.

Fu Jinnan immediately picked up his phone and opened the message.

It wasn't anything big, just a small matter concerning another collaborative project they were working on. Qi Ning messaged him to confirm.

After reading it, Fu Jinnan replied to her message.

When he put down his phone and looked up, he found that the meeting room had fallen silent, and his two partners, Qin Jiao and Cui He, were looking at him.

They had already had a large meeting that afternoon, and this was a small meeting between their partners, with only the three of them present.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Why don't you stop talking?"

Qin Jiao and Cui He exchanged a glance.

"You're asking? You actually replied to a message in the middle of the meeting, which has never happened before."

"Yeah, whose news is it? It's so important!"

The two asked, somewhat gossipy.

Fu Jinnan tapped the table expressionlessly: "Enough with the small talk, let's continue the meeting."

Even so, Fu Jinnan realized that something was wrong with him.

He frowned, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.

When Fu Jinnan returned to his residence that evening and took a shower, he saw the teeth mark on his shoulder.

After a day and a night, the tooth mark had turned bluish-purple.

Fu Jinnan stared at his own face in the mirror, looking at himself for a long time.
