Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 157: Do You Like Me (2)

Everyone has their own lifestyle and choices, as long as they’re happy. So Mi Jing rarely asked Qin Huiyi about her love life. Today, she just felt that Qin Huiyi was acting a little unusual, so she brought it up.

"Jing, did you notice that they all look at you in a weird way?"

There were about ten people sitting around a table. When it came to sensitive topics, Qin Huiyi and Mi Jing wisely chose not to speak too clearly, or they lowered their voices and chatted softly.

"Who are they?" Mi Jing asked, puzzled. She never thought anyone would pay attention to her presence.

"Secretary Yan and Zhao Yufan," Qin Huiyi joked in Mi Jing’s ear, "It seems your charm is limitless, irresistible to all!"

"Are you delusional?" Mi Jing didn’t mind the occasion at all, rolled her eyes and gave Qin Huiyi a stern look.

Secretary Yan and Zhao Yufan, one with high authority and the other exceptionally talented. Even if Mi Jing had saved the world in her last life, it’s impossible to have such luck in this life. Besides, she already felt fortunate to have Shen Lingxing; having another person would be a waste, especially someone other than Shen Lingxing.

"Fine, I won’t say anymore. My intuition is pretty accurate, believe it or not." After she finished speaking, Qin Huiyi turned her attention to the food in front of her, eating swiftly yet elegantly.

She was just a nobody, who would notice her?

Mi Jing knew Qin Huiyi’s eyes were quite sharp, but she thoroughly doubted her own charm. So, half-believing, she raised her eyes and looked towards Zhao Yufan.

Maybe it was natural instinct or something special in the air, Zhao Yufan sensed someone was looking at him and suddenly raised his head, locking eyes with Mi Jing.

It’s quite awkward, isn’t it, to be caught spying on someone?

Mi Jing felt a bit flustered inside but kept a calm façade. She slightly pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile towards Zhao Yufan, then calmly lowered her head and continued eating slowly.

After the meal, Yang Di announced that there would be a charity auction after the New Year and hoped everyone could contribute. As a celebrity, most of today’s guests were her relatives and friends. Naturally, everyone enthusiastically responded to her plan, especially with Yan Yanwei as her strong supporter.

After the dining table was cleared, exquisite desserts and fruit-flavored champagne were served. Soon, someone started chatting with Qin Huiyi, while Mi Jing couldn’t join in, so she quietly walked away for some fresh air.

"Jiajia, don’t cry. I can’t leave for now. You should go home first."

"Uncle, did I just make a fool of myself?"

"No, everyone didn’t mind."

"Uncle, you go inside. I’ll wait for you here."

"Alright."

Mi Jing walked along the villa’s outer corridor and accidentally overheard a conversation. Taking a few steps forward, she confirmed it was Li Jia and Li Zhongren speaking, and Mi Jing stopped. Just as she was about to turn around, Li Zhongren suddenly stepped out from the corner.

"Hello, Principal." Since they met, Mi Jing greeted Li Zhongren gracefully.

"Hello." Li Zhongren responded perfunctorily and walked past Mi Jing.

Mi Jing came out for some peace and quiet, but with Li Jia around, peace was out of the question. After Li Zhongren walked two meters away, Mi Jing chose to return the way she came and planned to go around the other side.

"Mi Jing, are you running away because you know I’m here?"

Just as Mi Jing took a step, Li Jia’s voice came from behind. Mi Jing turned around laughing coldly. Seeing Li Jia leaning against the wall with red, puffy eyes, Mi Jing scoffed, "Meeting a madwoman, of course, I have to stay far away to ensure my own safety."

Madwoman?

Upon hearing those three words, Li Jia clenched her teeth tightly, almost breaking her jaw.

"Mi Jing, what are you so proud of? Watching me embarrass myself feels good? Ha, ridiculous. You probably don’t know, but I dumped Han Xiujie, that’s why he turned to you. Don’t think you’re anything special, self-delusional!" Having just embarrassed herself inside, Li Jia was full of anger. Seeing Mi Jing now, she didn’t think twice and took her anger out on Mi Jing.

"I do feel pretty good. They say, big breasts and no brains. But for someone like you, no breasts and no brains, seeing you lose control really boosts my confidence and puts me in a great mood." Mi Jing could be quite strong-minded sometimes. Facing Li Jia, her fighting spirit soared, and she laughed while retaliating.

Seeing Mi Jing not get angry and even smile brightly, Li Jia’s face twisted with rage. Pointing at Mi Jing, she yelled, "Mi Jing, I’m warning you, watch your language!"

"Why should I be polite to someone like you?" Mi Jing’s voice was cold, dripping with contempt.

Arguing with this woman was a waste of time and life. Without another word, Mi Jing turned and walked away, heading towards the villa’s back garden.

Mi Jing had been here several times before, so she knew her way around. It was winter now, and the weather had been quite cold. But inside the glass greenhouse, the roses were blooming enchantingly, in various colors, beautifully.

The glass door of the greenhouse was closed, but through the clear glass, the scenery inside could be seen. The last time Mi Jing was here, it was summer, and the roses inside were only red, white, yellow, and pink, the more common colors. But now, there were several new colors, including light green, purple, blue, and even black!

Such rare roses intrigued Mi Jing, so she took out her phone and snapped several pictures. Unfortunately, the glass made it difficult to get good angles, so the photos weren’t that great.

"Junior."

The sudden voice startled Mi Jing, but she remained fairly calm, showing no sign of being scared.

"Senior." Mi Jing turned around and saw the refined Zhao Yufan. She greeted him casually.

"Did I scare you?" Zhao Yufan asked with a hint of concern.

"Not really, I just didn’t expect you to appear suddenly." Mi Jing’s reaction was probably clear to Zhao Yufan, denying it would be insincere. So Mi Jing smiled to ease the awkwardness and asked, "Is the birthday banquet over?"

"Not yet." Zhao Yufan smiled lightly and said, "There are too many people inside; I don’t like the crowd."

"Oh." Mi Jing nodded in agreement, thinking Zhao Senior didn’t seem as quiet as the rumors suggested!
