Hubby's Deep Love Will Never Change-Chapter 1047 Red Spider Lily Heather (71)

"Really... she isn’t as hard to get along with as I imagined. Then why does she always have that cold look, as if she doesn’t want anyone near her? Is it all just an act?"

"I did tell you, didn’t I? Wei Wei is so nice!" Su Jin enthusiastically endorsed her, "I was totally taken with her after going out with her just once, and the more you get to know her, you’ll find she’s really special. I can’t put my finger on what it is exactly."

"From this angle... her disfigurement is really quite pitiful... If she hadn’t been disfigured, she would definitely be beautiful."

...

Seeing that the visitor was Heather, Qu Leqi’s bodyguards had an expression as if they were looking at a car accident scene; they kept their distance and even seemed to want to stop her: "Sister Leqi said not to disturb her. Move along."

"Who is bigger in your mind, your Sister Leqi or the director? Whose words carry more weight?"

The man was at a loss for words: "Mr. Nian is still inside!"

Meaning, Mr. Nian holds more sway than the director.

Yi Yang raised a hand, stopping the man.

Unlike the others, Yi Yang actually held some respect for Heather, "Miss Hai, may I ask what you need?"

Yi Yang’s respectful treatment of her made others feel strange.

Could it be that Heather has some kind of relationship with Mr. Nian?

Why else...

In fact, Heather herself was also somewhat surprised; Yi Yang’s attitude towards her had been puzzling from the start.

"The director is looking for Miss Qu, could you please let her know."

"Please, Miss Hai," Yi Yang actually stepped aside and made a welcoming gesture, allowing her to go in herself.

"No need, I’ll be leaving right away. Just pass on the message." She refused, not wanting to see any unsettling scenes.

Yi Yang bowed, saying, "I’m sorry, Miss Hai, but I don’t dare disturb Mr. Nian. Please knock on the door and announce yourself."

So that’s how it is. She was overthinking it.

"Got it."

So she knocked on the door: "Mr. Nian, Miss Qu, sorry for the interruption. Miss Qu, the director is looking for you, please come out."

"Come in." The voice of Nian Shen.

Her hand hesitated on the doorknob for a moment, but ultimately she opened the door and went in.

Fortunately, she didn’t see anything she shouldn’t have; they were sitting face to face, drinking red wine. Qu Leqi’s expression was already not too pleasant, and when she saw it was Heather, her face grew even sourer.

She stood up, "Mr. Nian, I’ll step out for a moment, I’ll be back shortly."

As she walked by, Heather automatically stepped aside. Qu Leqi had intended to "accidentally" step on her, but Heather evaded it, causing Qu Leqi to miss her step and nearly fall.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Heather.

Heather shrugged slightly with an innocent look and kept silent.

She didn’t do anything after all.

Nian Shen quietly watched all of this unfold.

Angry, Qu Leqi left the resting room, and Yi Yang closed the door behind her.

Only then did Heather realize she was alone with Nian Shen in a room and took a step back: "Then I’ll also leave, Mr. Nian."

"Wait," he called out to her, "You sent Miss Qu away, now there’s no one to drink with me. Sit down."

"May I refuse?"

"No, sit down." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"..."

Dare to outright refuse him?

No, as if possessed, she sat down in the spot Qu Leqi had been sitting.

Nian Shen stood up, fetched a clean glass, and poured her a drink: "Do you drink?"

"Yes."

And she had a good tolerance for alcohol.

Their abilities to hold their liquor had been trained; each was quite good at it.

Hearing her say this, Nian Shen poured a little more.

At that moment, an idea flashed through Heather’s mind.

Could it be... he was just drinking with Qu Leqi here and nothing more?
