After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning's words were quite disrespectful to Mo Shiyi.

The young master next to him immediately spoke up: "How can you be so ungrateful? Miss Mo personally asked you to give her face, and you actually dare to refuse?"

"You want to be a simp? Do you think everyone else is like you?"

The young master instantly flew into a rage: "Who the hell do you think you are? You really think you can become a phoenix by sleeping with Young Master Ji a few times? Miss Mo is the one who is engaged to Young Master Ji. You're nothing but a mistress!"

"Shut up!"

Ji Chiqian threw a punch, the movement both fierce and heavy.

His eyes were cold: "I'll say it again formally, I have never had any marriage agreement with the Mo family. If anyone stirs up trouble again, don't blame me for being impolite."

The private room was deathly silent.

Mo Shiyi could barely hold the cup. She had thought that Ji Chiqian would protect her pride, after all, they had grown up together since childhood.

But to everyone's surprise, Ji Chiqian publicly clarified that there was no engagement. Wouldn't she become a laughing stock in the industry?

Why did he do this?

Mo Shiyi looked at Ji Chiqian with red eyes: "Aqian."

Ji Chiqian said expressionlessly, "I warned you a long time ago to clarify this matter yourself in order to avoid my girlfriend misunderstanding."

Lu Ning stood beside him, hearing his deep, cold voice.

She looked up and saw Mo Shiyi with red eyes, a stark contrast to her demeanor in the coffee shop that day, where she acted like a wife dealing with a mistress.

When it comes to acting skills, the eldest daughter of the Mo family is definitely superior.

Mo Shiyi noticed Lu Ning's gaze and said somewhat awkwardly, "Are you satisfied now?"

"That's ridiculous. You and Ji Chiqian never had a marriage agreement. I neither spread this rumor nor clarified it. What does it have to do with me?"

"But if you hadn't shown up, nothing would have happened between him and me."

Perhaps the engagement can turn from a rumor into reality.

But now that Lu Ning has appeared, all of Mo Shiyi's hopes and fantasies have been shattered.

Lu Ning didn't want to be accused for no reason: "What does it have to do with me that Ji Chiqian doesn't like you? You should be questioning him, not me. Are you out of your mind?"

The young master immediately rushed over: "How dare you speak like that?"

Ji Chiqian stood directly in front of her, his eyes filled with warning: "What she said is right. Even without her, I would not have gotten engaged to Mo Shiyi."

Mo Shiyi dropped the cup in her hand to the ground, her usually refined and elegant expression revealing her utter disarray.

Lu Ning noticed that the expressions of the people in the private room were also quite interesting.

It seems quite shocking and unbelievable?

But all she knew was that her heart raced instantly after hearing those words.

Ji Chiqian stood in front of her, blocking everyone's curious gazes.

Lu Ning lowered her eyelids slightly, unable to hear the voices of others, her mind filled only with what he had just said.

Mo Shiyi's voice trembled with tears: "Ah Qian~"

Ji Chiqian's gaze was deep: "I have a name."

"Just because of Lu Ning, are you going to cut ties with me now?"

Mo Shiyi had a smooth and successful life.

“When my grandma was hospitalized a while ago, she accidentally lost her phone, and you helped me find it. But you shouldn’t have answered that call for me, which caused my girlfriend to misunderstand and have a fight with me.”

Ji Chiqian had been keeping an eye on Lu Ning all this time and had no interest in confronting Mo Shiyi about this matter.

Since we've met today, let's make things clear from the start.

Lu Ning looked up in surprise. She noticed the gossipy eyes around her and really didn't want to be stared at like this.

She said in a low voice, "Alright, there are so many people here."

Mo Shiyi broke down and shouted, "Lu Ning, it's none of your business to pity me!"

Lu Ning looked over and saw that Mo Shiyi was already in tears, and there was no trace of the arrogant attitude she had shown when they met at the coffee shop that day.

She pursed her lips: "Since you knew it would be embarrassing to be exposed, why did you lie in the first place?"

"What lie did I tell? Ask everyone, are you good enough for Ji Chiqian?"

At this moment, Mo Shiyi lost her usual rationality, and her voice became much sharper.

Ji Chiqian's expression was tense: "Mo Shiyi, I was the one who pursued her."

At this moment, Mo Shiyi was like a chicken with its neck being choked, unable to utter a single word.

Did he say that he was the one who pursued Lu Ning?

But what gives Lu Ning the right?

When Lu Ning saw Mo Shiyi's disheveled appearance, she suddenly remembered the scene in the coffee shop that day. Perhaps she herself looked similar to Mo Shiyi that day.

Because of the same man, he became like this.

She stood up to leave; now that things had escalated like this, there was no point in discussing work.

Ji Chiqian noticed her movement immediately and blocked her way.

Lu Ning's face tightened: "What are you doing?"

There is broken glass on the ground.

Ji Chiqian picked up Lu Ning and spun her around before putting her down. He pursed his thin lips and said coldly, "Regarding the project, come to the company for a meeting tomorrow if you're free."

"I see."

Lu Ning glanced at the broken glass on the ground, her face inexplicably burning. She turned and hurriedly left the private room.

Mo Shiyi watched this scene, her voice hoarse: "Ji Chiqian, do you have to embarrass me in front of so many people?"

"I remember telling you a long time ago that I clarified the rumors about the engagement. If it were someone else, do you think she would still be able to stand in front of me and speak like this?"

Ji Chiqian's expression was serious, leaving no room for negotiation.

Mo Shiyi's mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't say a word. Watching Ji Chiqian's departing figure, she felt as if her world had collapsed.

Outside, Lu Ning returned to the private room where the team had their dinner, and everyone had almost finished eating.

When she was about to pay the bill, the waiter told her, "Someone has already paid the bill."

Lu Ning didn't need to think to guess who paid the bill.

She left the private room and went downstairs with everyone, and just then she saw Ji Chiqian standing at the entrance of the lobby, his back tall and slender.

He turned around and looked at her.

Lu Ning's classmates whispered among themselves, "Isn't that the team leader's boyfriend? He waited for her all night at the school gate last time."

"Wow, so handsome! I only saw the photos before, but he's much more handsome in person than in the pictures."

Lu Ning's ears felt hot. She turned to look at her teammates and said, "I've called a car. Let's all go back to school together."

She followed everyone toward the door, and as she passed Ji Chiqian, her heartbeat inexplicably became erratic.

Lu Ning pretended not to see Ji Chiqian, but she could feel the man's gaze following her.

Upon reaching the door, everyone formed groups and boarded the bus.

Wang Yang came to Lu Ning's side: "Let's go, get in the car."

Lu Ning nodded and sat in the back of the taxi with Chen Guoguo. When Wang Yang was sitting in the passenger seat, he turned his head and glanced at the man standing at the door.

But the man kept looking at Lu Ning, not even glancing at him, completely ignoring him.

Wang Yang felt a little uncomfortable, so he turned around and deliberately spoke to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning answered absentmindedly, but the moment the car drove away, she couldn't help but look out the window.

She saw Ji Chiqian looking down at his phone, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Mo Shiyi chasing after him, her eyes red-rimmed.

Lu Ning hurriedly looked away and anxiously took out her phone to distract herself.

She received a message from Ji Chiqian.

Upon seeing that sentence, she was instantly thrown into turmoil.
