After getting rich through books, I step on and renovate Luochang

The hotel Xiang Xiaoling booked was the Yuhua Hotel where Shao Chenfeng had invited Que Ning to, and it was also the place where he and Wei Hongzhi spent the night when they met for the first time. To this day, Que Ning still clearly remembers what edible gold powder is smell.

The two entered the private room on the upper floor, the ambiguous orange lights were exactly the same, and the melodious violin tune made Que Ning couldn't help but hear Shao Chenfeng's confession-like words that night.

"I ordered the dishes in advance, they should all be your favorite." Xiang Xiaoling opened a bottle of red wine, he declined the waiter and poured the wine for Que Ning himself. The wine red liquid rolled into the goblet, exuding a fragrance of booze.

"Thank you." Que Ning picked up the goblet and took a sip. He also felt miraculous in his heart. Before meeting Wei Hongzhi, he always thought that this kind of high-class occasion had nothing to do with him. People are invited here.

Although he made an appointment in advance, he still needs to wait a while for the food to be served. Xiang Xiaoling chatted with Que Ning about the red cayenne he saw in front of Zerui's headquarters, which kept recurring in his mind. The smile on his face made him very uncomfortable.

Que Ning noticed Xiang Xiaoling's ecstasy and frowned. Facing his friend, he didn't have so many scruples, and asked directly: "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah, it's okay." Xiang Xiaoling suddenly came back to his senses, and smiled at Que Ning. After going through this journey, the original firmness under the rage was diluted by reason, and he still hesitated a little, wondering whether he should go to Xiang Ning Que Ning made it clear that he was very afraid that when the confession was made, the two of them would no longer be friends.

Seeing Xiang Xiaoling's abnormal performance, Que Ning suddenly had some ominous premonition in his heart. He couldn't tell why, but he just felt something was wrong.

Picking up the wine glass to Xiaoling, when he thought of the young man whom he had been thinking about for six years being doted on by the flirtatious rich second generation, his heart ached so hard that he could hardly breathe.

He stared at Que Ning, and directly drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp.And the alcohol finally gave him the last courage, Xiang Xiaoling's heart broke, he took a deep breath, and said to Que Ning: "Ning Ning, there is one thing I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I have never found a chance. We're finally back together, and I think it's time to tell you too."

Que Ning:?

Xiang Xiaoling's solemn tone made Que Ning's vague uneasiness reach its peak. He had never, never seen Xiang Xiaoling talking to him like this. It seems that there is still imperceptible expectation and shyness hidden.

Que Ning subconsciously wanted to break this weird atmosphere and cut off what might happen next, so he asked directly, "Are you terminally ill?"

Xiang Xiaoling: ……………………………

"No." The originally brewed emotions were punctured at once, and Xiang Xiaoling couldn't laugh or cry, but soon he adjusted his mood, stared into Que Ning's eyes, and said solemnly, "Qe Ning, I like you."

The ominous premonition turned into reality, and Que Ning's whole body petrified in place. He never thought that today, he would be confessed by his best friend. If possible, he would rather be deaf at that moment just now and listen to everything. less than.

……how so?

"I know that you may not be able to accept it for a while. After I realized my feelings for you, it took me a long time to pass the hurdle in my heart."

Even though he had expected it, Que Ning's shocked expression still pierced Xiang Xiaoling's heart like a small thorn, making him feel a dull pain.He showed a comforting smile, and said softly: "You don't need to give me an answer, I just want to tell you my heart, and tell you that I have the ability to protect you, you can stand behind me, don't No more worrying about other things, and no need to do things you don’t want because of other helplessness.”

Xiang Xiaoling's last words brought Que Ning back to his senses, and he suddenly realized the true intention behind Xiang Xiaoling's back, and asked, "Did you hear something?"

"Just now I saw the Cayenne that took you home at the gate of Zerui. It is the car of Wei Hong, the second youngest of the Wei family." Xiang Xiaoling didn't continue talking. At this point, Que Ning finally understood, Instead, he stretched his frowning brows and let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that Xiang Xiaoling misunderstood that he had something to do with Wei Hong because of his difficulties. After all, the relationship between the two of them was regarded as nurturing in the eyes of outsiders, so it would be much easier. Xiang Xiaoling should have wanted him to get away from Wei Hong. Hong Cai said this on purpose, as long as he explained clearly to him, everything should be fine, right?

"Actually not." Que Ning shook his head, forcing his messy mind to wake up. Although only two people knew about the existence of the contract between him and Wei Hong, but now he encountered this situation, facing Xiang who had always been regarded as a friend and family Xiaoling, he really couldn't think of anything else to do except talk about it.

"The relationship between Wei Hong and me is not what you think." Que Ning pondered his words and explained, "He has encountered some troubles recently and asked me to help him be his contract lover. It's just acting, nothing else."

Xiang Xiaoling was stunned, he had never thought of the thing that tortured him all the way...it turned out to be like this.

"You must help me keep it a secret. You must never tell anyone. I promised Wei Hong that I would not tell it. I believe in you, and you must be worthy of my trust." Ning sighed softly in his heart, unavoidably feeling guilty towards Wei Hongzhi.

If it hadn't been for Xiang Xiaoling's intentional confession in order to "pull him out of the predicament", which made him really unable to cope, he would not have revealed this secret.

Quening paused, and then said: "So you don't have to say that you like me and you want to protect me. I'm fine, and I haven't been coerced by anyone."

The news that Que Ning and Wei Hong are fake lovers makes Xiang Xiaoling ecstatic, but then he realizes that Que Ning misunderstood his confession.Xiang Xiaoling settled down, and wanted to laugh a little: "Do you think I confessed to you on purpose?"

Que Ning frowned: "Isn't it?"

Xiang Xiaoling shook her head with a smile, tenderness appeared in her eyes: "I'm not joking, Que Ning, every word and every word before is true, I like you, I have liked you since I was young, and I have liked you until now , want to protect you."

Quining: …………………………

He even raised his hand and tapped the smart bracelet on his wrist to see the date: "Today is April Fool's Day?"

Que Ning knew that Xiang Xiaoling wasn't joking anymore, but after all, he needed to buffer the sudden loss. He and Xiang Xiaoling... aren't each other's best friends?How did it suddenly become like this?

Xiang Xiaoling didn't answer, just looked at him, from his expression, Que Ning read unprecedented seriousness.

Thanks to Shao Chenfeng's training of Que Ning's psychological acceptance ability, the panic only lasted for a few seconds before being forcibly suppressed by him. He took a deep breath and didn't know what to say for a while.

It's all messed up.

The best brother wants to change the relationship between them, but Que Ning really has no feelings for Xiang Xiaoling other than friendship, no, there is, his father just passed away when he was young, he had a period of time , regarded Xiang Xiaoling as his family.

...but now?

"I'm sorry, I can't give you a response." In the end, Que Ning said truthfully that he didn't want to see the results of his vacillating attitude. Since he didn't have that kind of thought about Xiang Xiaoling, he simply refused and didn't give The other party brings unnecessary hope.

This answer was expected by Xiang Xiaoling, but he was inevitably disappointed in the end. He said softly, "It's okay, I... didn't expect anything at all."

"I will still treat you like a friend, as if everything today never happened." Cherning paused, and said softly, "You don't have to spend too much time on me, it won't be fruitful."

In the ensuing silence, the waiter knocked on the door and brought out the prepared dishes.Xiang Xiaoling quickly adjusted and thanked the waiter politely. Whether it was because of her acting skills or because she had crossed a hurdle in her heart, she looked the same as usual, but her eyes were stained with disappointment and sadness.Que Ning couldn't ignore it, so he could only lower his eyes and sip the red wine.

Although he said that he would pretend that nothing had happened, but how could he not care?

Still something is different.

Under the careful maintenance of both parties, the meal was finally finished, and they still joked with each other as usual, but when the two went to get things at the same time, Que Ning withdrew his hands and dodged, taking the initiative to avoid physical contact with Xiang Xiaoling .

Since Xiang Xiaoling has thoughts about him, he should try to avoid any ambiguous situation now, so as not to send wrong information to the other party.

With such a big thought, how could it be possible for Que Ning to eat well, even worse than Shao Chenfeng's time, and the sky was already dark after the end, so the nanny car took Que Ning home first.

"I will make a lot of announcements next month, and I have to go everywhere, and I may not see you again." Xiang Xiaoling stood downstairs at Que Ning's house and asked him, "Before I leave, can I come to you again?" ?”

The obvious begging in Xiang Xiaoling's words made Que Ning speechless, and agreed: "Of course, you don't have to think about it, we are still good friends."

"Okay." Xiang Xiaoling reluctantly calmed down. He watched Que Ning's figure disappear into the corridor of the unit. When he returned to the car, the manager had already left, and there were only him and the driver in the nanny's car.

On the way home, he couldn't hold back and sent a message to his agent: "Sister Li, what should I do if I have someone I like?"

The agent quickly replied: "????????"

Then came two more messages: "Hold on, if you are in a relationship now, if you get caught out, you will be courting death."

"Unless you want to leave work early, don't hurt yourself and others, and keep your head clear."

Looking at these few words, Xiang Xiaoling put down her phone, leaned against the back of the chair, closed her eyes, and sighed deeply.

How could he not understand what the agent said?But... but how can things like feelings be so easy to control?

Que Ning, who came back home, was equally disturbed. Que Yu went to play at a classmate's house after dinner, while Wang Shumei was washing clothes in the bathroom, and the living room was empty.

The words of Xiang Xiaoling's confession are still in his ears, every sentence is clear, Que Ning really can't figure out what he can do to make Shao Chenfeng obsessed to the point of morbidity, even Xiang Xiaoling who is the most defenseless Confess to him, is he money!

There will be an important interview tomorrow, and this situation will definitely affect his mentality, and there is no news from Shao Chenfeng, and he still doesn't know what happened to those paintings.Thinking of this, Que Ning was terribly annoyed, his face was cold, the emotions in his heart were surging and he had nowhere to vent, so he could only kick over the trash can.

The empty trash can was overturned on the ground, Gululu took a few rounds, Quening sighed, knelt down to help it up, lost his temper.

Maybe this is life.

Just when he was feeling sad, the phone vibrated, Que Ning took it out and looked at the message Wei Hongzhi had sent him.

Que Ning regained his energy in an instant, he didn't even bother to stand up, and clicked on the chat box.

Wei Hongzhi: "Do you have time tomorrow? Let's have dinner tonight. I have heard a little about Shao Chenfeng."

Que Ning: "I'm going to interview in the morning, can I do it in the evening?"

Wei Hongzhi: "OK, I'll pick you up at 05:30 and go to Yuhua Hotel."

Yuhua Hotel? ? ?

This place really left too much shadow on Que Ning, Shao Chenfeng confessed in a disguised form with ambiguous words, and expressed his feelings to Xiaoling who thought he was being coerced, why even Wei Hong—

Quining: ……………

The thought in his head was suppressed by him in less than a second. Que Ning shook his head and typed and asked, "Yu Hua?"

"Yes, it's the one we ate for the first time. What's the matter, don't you like it?"

"No, just over there."

After the plan was finalized, Que Ning stood up, the previous gloom was swept away, and her mood improved surprisingly a lot.

Maybe it was because of the news about Shao Chenfeng?

He didn't think about it, or he didn't dare to think about it.Que Ning returned to the room, saw the bedside table, and suddenly found that his VOSS mineral water bottle seemed to have fallen into Xiang Xiaoling's nanny's car.

Quining: ………………

His mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden.
