Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1147 - 1125: I Want to Know Where I’m Inferior to Miss Qiao
She knew, given his status now in Beijing as a young general, finding out who attacked Qiao Yongyong would be too easy. Even if he were lazy to investigate, there would be plenty of people eager to curry favor and do it for him.
It was only this afternoon that she learned about Gan Jinhong hiring someone to scare Qiao Yongyong, and she became anxious, fearing that Nie Yixiao might misunderstand her involvement, so she hurried over to clarify.
Nie Yixiao fixed his sharp and clear gaze on Gan Ying, understanding she was unaware of this matter, he calmly said, "This has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to apologize."
Gan Ying exhaled and cautiously asked, "Miss Qiao is all right?"
"She’s fine. It’s late, and this place is in the suburbs, making it inconvenient to get back and forth. I’ll have Xiaozhang take you back." He subtly issued a gentle eviction.
She twisted her fingers at the hem of her clothes, her main purpose for coming was twofold: to explain she had no knowledge of the Qiao Yongyong incident, avoiding his misunderstanding, and secondly, to have more time to be with him.
Since she was discharged from the hospital, she hadn’t had the chance to see him; it’s been several months since they last met...
She even wished the wound wouldn’t heal so fast... so this man would come to see her a few more times...
She paused, bit her lip slightly, and lifted a bitter smile: "We almost got engaged after all, do you really not want to talk to me for a while? Since being discharged, we haven’t met again. Sometimes I think if only I had slit my wrist a little deeper that day, a longer hospital stay would have been better."
His eyes flickered, glancing at Gan Ying’s left wrist, a faint scar remained there. He paused and spoke, "I’m sorry about what happened with us. But since it’s in the past, let it be."
Let it be... How can it just be?
Gan Ying’s heart shattered, her eyes reddened: "I want to know, in what way am I less than Miss Qiao."
"You are great, not less than anyone else."
Gan Ying summoned her courage, rushed over to embrace the man’s waist: "If I’m so great, then why don’t you want me? Anything Miss Qiao can do, I can do a hundred times better..."
This was the first time she had made such a gesture towards Nie Yixiao.
She was a reserved and elegant lady from a good family, always waiting for a man to pursue her. Even during their relationship, they were apt to end things with restraint, never even holding hands. She always thought to maintain a perfect image as a noble lady before him, looking back now, she truly regretted it!
If only she had known, she should have crossed the final line with him long ago.
Perhaps then he wouldn’t discard her so easily! Nor would he let another woman take the lead!
What could that Qiao Yongyong possibly have?
Like brother said, she’s not a lady of familial status from Beijing, what could Yixiao like about her?
Upon thinking it over, it must be that Qiao Yongyong used her beauty to seduce Yixiao! Men are all like this! They always lose their senses when faced with someone like a vixen.
In her haste, regretting, Gan Ying tightened her arms, held the man’s waist firmly, dared on tiptoe, feverishly and disorderly attempting to kiss his attractive thin lips and gracious neck, saying deliriously: "Yixiao, anything she can do, I also can... Just try me..."
Nie Yixiao smelled the faint scent of alcohol from Gan Ying’s mouth, his expression changed, realizing she had been drinking.
He held her wrist tightly and pulled away: "Xiaozhang! Escort Miss Gan back!"
Gan Ying indeed drank a little wine to bolster her courage before coming to Tanghu Villa.
Hearing Boss’s reprimand, Xiaozhang pushed the door open, saw Gan Ying holding Boss, surprised. Before he could step up to support Miss Gan, Gan Ying suddenly weakened, her body slackened and fell onto the carpet.
Xiaozhang was startled, promptly helped her up, pinching her philtrum: "Miss Gan? Miss Gan! Boss, Miss Gan has fainted..."
Nie Yixiao walked over, squatted on the carpet, seeing her face pale, presumed it was an acute fainting from excitement and alcohol, he performed a few cardiac massages, Gan Ying breathed easier, her complexion improved considerably, she opened a small slit of her eyes, awakened, still looking weak and powerless.
Xiaozhang carried Gan Ying to the bed, seeing her breath steadied more, reassured, he turned around to ask: "Boss, shall we take Miss Gan home?"
Gan Ying showing up late at night at Tanghu Villa, in this half-dead, wine-soaked state, sending her back to the Gan family, if Gan Laocommander saw this, he would assume he had somehow bullied Gan Ying again, the recently eased relations between the Gan family and the Ning family could easily face trouble once more.
Nie Yixiao knitted his brows: "Let her recuperate a bit first."
Xiaozhang glanced at the frail and powerless Miss Gan on the bed, understood his concerns, nodded: "Alright, I’ll get some hangover tea for Miss Gan."
The door closed.
On the bed, Gan Ying’s low sobbing sounded: "Yixiao... Don’t make me leave, I don’t want to go back now. My whole family thinks I’m fine, that I’ve moved on long ago. Seeing me like this would make Dad feel distressed and upset... Don’t worry, I won’t repeat what I did just now... I won’t bother you any further..."
He slightly furrowed his brows: "Rest well."
With that, he turned around, his tall, noble back heading toward the door.
*********
Ning Family.
Brother Yixiao hasn’t been back for days.
Qiao Yongyong heard Aunt Xia say he seems to be at Tanghu Villa.
When she first came to the Ning family, he ran off to Tanghu Villa to stay, at least there was an excuse, saying he had to entertain clients from Yunling.
This time, he didn’t even bother giving her any reason!
Just left like that!
She couldn’t understand, that day they were clearly getting along well, why did he leave as soon as he dropped her off, without a goodbye, was it really her "lack of skill" that made him uncomfortable and displeased?
Anyway, when he left hurriedly, it was as if he was avoiding something, almost like she truly was a vixen trying to ensnare him and extract his essence...
Texts left unanswered.
Calls forever busy.
She initially thought to proactively visit him at Tanghu Villa, but feared it would annoy him. Besides, being too clinging might nauseate him?
Le Wen once said, women should keep a bit of a distant and hazy allure with men, being too proactive or enthusiastic only lowers your value!
However, these days Qiao Yongyong has been fairly calm, likely because he revealed Ning Duoduo’s ill intentions towards herself in front of the Ning family, Ning Duoduo is now always like a resentful and restrained figure whenever encountering her, whether at school or at the Ning family, turning away bitterly and hastily, giving her much relief!
With exams over, there were fewer classes, just waiting to get grades and go on break.
After school this day, Qiao Yongyong and Le Wen walked out of the school, as they stepped out, a flashy red sports car stopped across the street.
