Chapter 40

At the door of the restaurant, a man wearing a white brocade top and trousers walked in.

Nan Lingxi stared at the face of the visitor and suddenly said, "Ning, I take back what I just said."

"Huh?" Qiao Ning turned her head in confusion and looked at Nan Lingxi.

Nan Lingxi explained righteously, "Ugly is called pretending to be ugly. This person is obviously low-key and high-profile. He must also be very distressed."

Qiao Ning: "..."

Really can talk.

Qiao Ning looked at the person. Inadvertently, their eyes met, and an alarm bell rang in Qiao Ning's mind.

Isn't this the young master?

The money she owes the young master has not been paid yet!

Will this person... remember her?

Qiao Ning was very distressed. Sure enough, people shouldn't watch the fun all the time, as it would get them into trouble.

Shang Buyu's eyebrows are clear and picturesque, his posture is calm and elegant, and he looks like an immortal when he moves around.

Shang Buyi looked around the crowd and his eyes collided with Qiao Ning's. Qiao Ning's obsidian eyes were extremely eye-catching. His heart suddenly stopped. He had seen her many times, but he was far less shocked than this time.

Her clothes are simple and incompatible with the luxurious crowd, but her temperament is far more noble than the clothes.

Her eyebrows were calm and seemingly well-behaved, but he could see a hint of arrogance in her eyebrows.

The feeling of falling in love at first sight was like an arrow shot into his heart.

Shang Buyi's throat felt sore, and when he was about to smile at Qiao Ning, Qiao Ning avoided his eyes with an expression of extreme disgust.

Shang Buyu: "..."

Chu Ci and others walked towards Shang Buyu. Chu Ci stepped forward and gave Shang Buyu a big hug.

"Finally I'm looking forward to you."

Chu Ci led Shang Buyu to the sofa, and everyone gathered around him.

Qiao Ning stood up, glanced at Shang Buyi, who was surrounded by people, leaned against the wall, and quietly slipped out.

As Qiao Ning got closer to the door, her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

Sudden.

"Miss Qiao, please take a seat." The bodyguard in black stretched out his arm like an iron arm, firmly blocking Qiao Ning from leaving.

Qiao Ning looked expressionless and pointed to the corridor, "I want to go out to the bathroom."

The bodyguard in black looked cold and said, "Ms. Qiao, the bathroom is in the restaurant."

Qiao Ning said stubbornly: "I'm not used to going to this toilet. I want to get out."

"No."

Qiao Ning was silent, "Brother, how many years have you been killing fish at RT-Mart?"

My heart is as cold as a knife!
Qiao Ning had no choice but to return to the sofa in the corner, leaning against the wall.

Nan Lingxi smiled as if she was watching the fun, "Ning Ning, what are you doing? Have you fallen in love with that bodyguard guy?"

Qiao Ning: "...No."

The crowd dispersed and took their seats.

Shang Buyi spoke out and looked at Qiao Ning with a vague look, "I am late today due to personal reasons, so I have prepared some gifts for everyone to express my apology."

Next to Shang Buyu, the handsome man in black suit and more than a dozen bodyguards were lined up in a row, each of them holding a large tray in his hand.

"Mr. Shang's gift must be of great value." Nan Lingxi whispered to Qiao Ning, "I heard Chu Ci mention his cousin. It is said that he is a great person, but he is very mysterious and does not show up often. Chu Ci Ci also mentioned that he was very generous."

Qiao Ning glanced sideways at Nan Lingxi, "How far have you and Chu Ci developed?"

Nan Lingxi shut up.

Qiao Ning asked Nan Lingxi, gently shaking Nan Lingxi's arm, "Have you kissed me before?"

Nan Lingxi blinked.

Qiao Ning understood and asked again, "Have you ever...slept?"

Nan Lingxi coughed twice, without squinting, and remained silent.

Qiao Ning nodded, "You guys are developing very fast."

Nan Lingxi shook her head as if she had some troubles, "It's all caused by the wine."

Qiao Ning's eyes were like bright lights, burning brightly. When she wanted to ask more questions, a bodyguard placed a tray in front of the two of them. "Miss Nan, this is a gift from the young master."

Qiao Ning and Nan Lingxi looked over and saw an exquisite red brocade box placed on the wooden tray.

Nan Lingxi was confused and looked up at the others. Each person had a red brocade box. She looked at the bodyguard, "Only one? There are two of us."

Bodyguard: "Yes. Mr. Qiao will give it to you personally."

Hearing this, Nan Lingxi decisively took the red brocade box and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Shang."

Qiao Ning had a bad feeling in her heart.

After the bodyguard left, Nan Lingxi opened the brocade box. Inside was an exquisite jade pendant with very beautiful water and color.

The smile on Nan Lingxi's face couldn't stop, "Hey, the gift Mr. Shang will give you will be more expensive later. Does he like you?"

Qiao Ning took a deep breath and said, "The car I hit was his."

Nan Lingxi became even more excited and resisted the urge to scream. The smile on her face became more and more exaggerated, "Hold him, he's an immortal!"

Qiao Ning: "..."

She doesn't like this, she likes boys who feel broken.

It can make her feel protective!

A tough girl like her should be matched with a boy who is soft, stubborn and protective.

Nan Lingxi was shocked when she saw Qiao Ning's unhappy expression, "Bao'er, you don't like this?"

Just as Qiao Ning was about to speak, a pair of large, slender jade-like hands appeared in front of her, holding a red wooden box with beautiful texture and complicated carvings.

Qiao Ning's eyes followed the hands, and Shang Buyu's delicate and elegant face suddenly crashed into her eyes.

"Miss Qiao, this is a gift I personally chose."

Qiao Ning stared at Shang Buyi, thinking about what Shang Buyi meant. There was a debt relationship between them, and the reason why he made such a big show of her towards her was that he wanted to secretly urge her to repay the debt!
Seeing that Qiao Ning didn't move, Nan Lingxi quickly reminded her, "Catch it!"

Qiao Ning looked at Shang Buyu, who smiled at her. Qiao Ning blinked, ignoring the weirdness in her heart, and reached out to take the wooden box from Shang Buyu's hand.

"open to take a look!"

Nan Lingxi urged.

Everyone's eyes met, they whispered, and moved closer to Qiao Ning, paying attention to the movement of the wooden box.

"What do you say is inside?"

"Shh, how do I know? Mr. Shang is so good to this Qiao Ning, isn't he just attracted to him?"

"Impossible. Mr. Shang is famous for not being close to women. Didn't he say it before? He doesn't want to delay girls. I guess Qiao Ning has just found her. Mr. Shang is kind-hearted, so please take more care of her."

"possible……"

Under the gaze of everyone, Qiao Ning slowly opened the wooden box.

"what?"

Qiao Ning was stunned.

Nan Lingxi was also stunned.

Everyone stopped discussing, all looking confused.

Shang Buyu quietly observed Qiao Ning's expression and saw that she was too surprised to react, thinking that she had given the right gift this time.

"Like it?"

The room was silent.

Qiao Ning pulled out the booklet from the wooden box, which said 'Sketch Pen Control Set'.

She looked at Shang Buyu in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Shang Buyi smiled intoxicatingly, and the red tear mole at the corner of his eye was lively and charming, "I have watched your show, it is very good. I think you will like it."

Qiao Ning was silent.

He said it so sincerely, but are you sure he's not a sinister person?
Who gives you the most basic pen control set as a gift?

The atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Everyone suspected that Mr. Shang was trying to intimidate Qiao Ning.

The reason - maybe Qiao Ning is not dressed appropriately?After all, Mr. Shang attaches great importance to etiquette.
