C30 We're Going to Get Married Soon

In a fancy western restaurant, the elegant melody filled the atmosphere... Liang Chenyi just looked at the woman sitting opposite him, his eyes did not shift his gaze away. Perhaps it was because he had been stared at by the man for too long, or perhaps it was also because he felt that it was a little strange. Qiao Yining put down the menu in her hand and met his dark black pupils. It was the first time that there was such an unnatural tone in her words -

"Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Although she seemed to be wearing something formal today. Grandpa had specially prepared a dress for her to treat Liang Chenyi to a good meal. The edges of the long white dress were filled with tiny water diamonds, and the pearl necklace was especially eye-catching.

Liang Chenyi curled his lips wickedly, and said in a playful tone:

"You look good."

A man had been staring at a woman. It wasn't because she was too charming, but because this man was interested in her.

When Qiao Yining heard these words, she looked down and continued to look at the menu. It was really strange. Usually, she would not have this kind of feeling. Why was it so strange now? Her cheeks gradually turned red as she changed her mind. She asked. :

"What do you want to eat?"

"Do you really want to treat me to a meal?" The other party's tone seemed to be a little disbelieving. Qiao Yining lightly laughed. He was already sitting in the dining room, so how could he be fake? She said it as if she was very petty and was reluctant to treat him to a meal in the past.

"Of course it's true. Ever since I returned to the country, you have been by my side to help me so much, especially with regards to the matters of the Qiao's. I am really grateful to you. It's only right that I think of basic courtesy. "

Just politely thanking me? Liang Chenyi's smile did not stop. No matter what the reason was, he felt very happy in his heart. Because Qiao Yining had finally dressed up so meticulously for him once.

"If you want to thank me, that is not enough."

"Then what else do you need?" Qiao Yining did not understand. Maybe she should ask him what he needed. The doubt in her eyes was seen by the man. He smiled and serious words entered Qiao Yining's ears. It made her instantly stunned -

"You should marry me."

Everything around them seemed to have stopped. Qiao Yining was like a wooden puppet that could not move at all. Even the beautiful melody from before had turned blank at this moment.

Looking at her reaction, it seemed like she would eat her. Liang Chenyi faintly smiled, but the bitterness in his heart gradually spread. Ning, if possible, I really hope that you are mine.

"I am joking."

Qiao Yining took a deep breath and the smile on her face returned to normal. She snorted softly.

"You just love to joke with me. It was the same in the past."

But Ning, you know what? I really hope that you can listen to these jokes. Become reality. But I know that if I really love someone to the bone, it's really hard to forget, or even impossible. You treat Ling Haocheng the same way I treat you.

When the steak was served, Qiao Yining was just about to pick up the knife and fork. She saw the person bring the freshly cut steak to her. Qiao Yining had said before that if it was on a date, it would be great if her boyfriend could help her cut the steak. She only needed to be responsible for eating.

However, she didn't expect that some people would remember it for so many years.

Qiao Yining smiled, but there was also a lot of awkwardness mixed in. She did not know why, but when she came back, she realized that Liang Chenyi was different from before. No, it should be said that he treated her differently. Or perhaps he had never understood this man before. He thought that he was just a careless person, and his words made people speechless. However, in fact, he was more reliable than anyone else when it came to doing things. It made Qiao Yining feel safe at all times.

"Why? Are you touched?"

"Stop being so narcissistic." Qiao Yining gave him a supercilious look, but there was a faint sense of loss in her heart. Yes. She thought that what those boyfriend and girlfriend did when they were dating was something that made people happy. Ling Haocheng would do it. But now, that was not the case.

...

Ling Haocheng had just finished a business deal with a board member in the restaurant. Just as he was about to send the person away and was about to get into the car, he saw two people walking out of the restaurant.

The night fell and Qiao Yining stood beside the man in a small white dress. Because of the wind, Liang Chenyi took off his coat and put it on for her. Such an intimate action, from afar, looked like a pair of lovers.

Ling Haocheng narrowed his eyes. He did not feel that the pair was a good match, but it was very eye-piercing instead.

Qiao Yining felt warmth and smiled. However, when she saw the man standing in front of the car, the smile on her lips froze.

Ling Haocheng, he...

Liang Chenyi naturally noticed the existence of that man. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a voice behind him.

"Mister Liang."

"Director Li." Liang Chenyi shook hands with the man who walked over. This was the old man's partner from before, and it was a project he had personally discussed with Director Li.

"I didn't expect to meet you here..." Director Li smiled politely and saw Qiao Yining, who was beside the man. She recognized this woman in a second. She was Grandfather Tang's granddaughter. Recently, there had been a lot of rumors about her, especially about the Qiao's shareholders' meeting a few days ago.

"This must be Grandfather Tang's granddaughter, right?" As he spoke, he looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman, as if he had understood something.

"Indeed a good match."

A good match? Qiao Yining's eyes withdrew from Ling Haocheng's body before she looked at Li Dong. He must have misunderstood something. Just as she wanted to deny it, Liang Chenyi, who was beside her, replied one step faster than her.

"Thank you."

Thank you? Thank you for what? Others said that he was a good match for her, but when he said thank, was it a form of acknowledgment? While he was stunned, he heard Li Dong Yan's cheerful voice again -

"Recently, I've heard a lot about the two of you. Are you getting married?"

Getting married! Qiao Yining quickly shook her head. What was this? Why did she not know anything? As for Liang Chenyi, he seemed to know everything. He held her waist with his big palm. His words were clear enough to let the surrounding people hear what he said. Especially to let Ling Haocheng hear it.

"Yeah, we are getting married soon."

Although he had known Liang Chenyi for so many years and was used to his playful personality, but not now, on this occasion, to say such misleading words. The big palm that he had placed on her waist carried a warm warmth. It made Qiao Yining's body slightly startled. It was a rare physical contact, but it was at this time.

Facing Liang Chenyi's charming smile, she began to not understand what he was thinking.

When Ling Haocheng, who was not far away, heard the words getting married, his dark eyes became even colder in the night.

He did not look at the smiles of the two men because he looked at them for one more minute. He couldn't help but want to go up and beat that man up, especially the hand that was placed on the woman's waist. When he got into the car and left, his dual-pupils were filled with coldness.

Qiao Yining noticed that Ling Haocheng's car had left, and she also saw the coldness in his eyes. He must have heard what Liang Chenyi said just now. But... Forget it, Qiao Yining. What else do you want from this man? Don't forget, he was also a man who was about to get married. Soon, he will have his own wife and a happy family. Even his children. Do you still think that this man will get angry because of your marriage?

Heh, you think too highly of yourself.

...

On the way back, Qiao Yining walked slowly. She kept her head down and did not look at Liang Chenyi.

"What's wrong?"

He was too clear about this girl's actions. It must be because of what happened just now that made it difficult for her.

"Could it be that she's angry with me?"

"No..." Qiao Yining shook her head. She was not angry. She just did not understand.

"Why do you admit that we are lovers?" Furthermore, she even said that we are getting married. This is simply something that doesn't exist.

"Then what do you want me to say just now?"

"I..." Under the faint moonlight, Qiao Yining looked at the man's handsome face. He smiled evilly and waited for her to say the following words. However, she was speechless.

In that situation just now, Ling Haocheng was at the side. It was probably because Chenyi wanted to provoke Ling Haocheng on purpose that he would say that. Actually, there was no need. Because that person wouldn't care about it at all.

"I don't deny it. That sentence was said for Ling Haocheng to hear, but the purpose wasn't to anger anyone, but to let him know that you are the girl I want to protect for my entire life. I won't let him hurt you again."

Qiao Yining understood these words very well, but when it was said out loud, she actually couldn't accept it.

For some reason, I thought that I could continue maintaining this relationship without being exposed.

"Ning..." Liang Chenyi's voice became more hoarse as he looked at the woman with lowered eyes. He knew that she actually did not want to accept his thoughts. He also knew that... Ling Haocheng was an existence that couldn't be erased from her mind. However, she still held a trace of hope.

"I want to be good to you. I don't want to see you cry. I..."

"Chenyi, the Qiao family is right in front of us. I can walk back by myself." After interrupting him, she took off her coat and returned it to him. Without waiting for him to say anything, she quickened her pace and walked towards the Qiao family.

She walked in a hurry and deliberately avoided him.

"Ning..." Liang Chenyi called from behind. Qiao Yining did not even have time to react before her wrist was grabbed by him from behind. He exerted force and her body flew into his arms.

That hard chest, when she hit it, even her forehead hurt.

"Ning, don't avoid me." Above his head was his low and hoarse voice. Qiao Yining did not move at all in his arms. Maybe she did not think that he would pull her. She opened her eyes wide and her lips slightly opened.

Liang Chenyi knew that if he did not pull her tonight, perhaps in the future, she would start avoiding him.

"I just want to protect you. I will not let you deliberately accept anything."

For example, accept his one-sided love, or make her not love Ling Haocheng. He, Liang Chenyi, didn't ask for anything. As long as she could allow him to stay with her and smile at her, it would be fine.

Qiao Yining lowered her eyes, and the shock in her eyes gradually faded away. Really, she did not ask for anything else?

But Chenyi, this is unfair to you.
