Chapter 8: I should have seen it earlier, you're quite skilled at handling men.

  Gu Qingheng took a glance at Nian Qing and then turned around to leave, socializing with others as if nothing had happened, elegant and refined.

  When ideas are clear, then fall into a dilemma.

  Nian Zi looked at her with a faint smile, but didn't say anything, and followed closely behind Gu Qingheng.

  Guan Shaoyan pulled her aside, his large hand with bulging veins tightly pinched her waist, and his face was arrogant and annoyed.

  "Is the evening dress a gift from him?" Officer Shao Yan asked in a low voice, to outsiders, he was just whispering and entwining with Nian Qing.

  Ning Qing shook her head, she was also perplexed.

  "I should have seen it earlier, you're quite skilled with men." Guan Shao's anger turned to laughter, and tonight, Ning Qing's innocent and elegant demeanor had undoubtedly become his shame.

  She is actually Officer Cao's wife, but she's wearing Gu Qingheng's clothes!

  She turned a blind eye, and Officer Xiao no longer looked at her, walking away on his own. Soon after, he hooked up with a wealthy young lady he had a past relationship with.

  A lonely soul, with no one to claim him.

  However, this was exactly what she wanted. She didn't want to follow Guan Shao around and socialize either. He could hug whoever he liked, just not her.

  Ning Qing felt a bit hungry, turned around and walked to the self-service area to get some food. However, she saw Guan Yi walking towards her, and couldn't help but furrow her brow, knowing that trouble was coming again.

  Guān yī yī dǎng zài niàn qīng miàn qián, míng xiǎn shì chèn guān shǎo zhēn bù zài, zhǎo chāi lái de: "Nǐ sǐ xīn ba, nǐ kòu bù zhù wǒ de gē de, tā bù kě néng qǔ nǐ guò mén."

  English Translation:

  Officer One blocked her way in front of Qing's face, obviously taking advantage of Guan Shao Zhen not being around to find fault: "Give up, you can't tie down my brother, he won't marry you."

  Ning Qing wanted to retort: Thanks for your concern. However, she couldn't show it too obviously, otherwise, if Ning Hai and Jiang Rong heard about it, she would be in trouble.

  "Hmm." Nian Qing's calm and collected attitude made Guan Yi even more dissatisfied.

  "You won't be able to show off for much longer, my brother will eventually dump you, isn't it just a set of formal wear?" Officer Yi's eyebrows were raised high, her high heels stepped on Nian Qing's dress hem, and she smiled as she brushed past her.

  In other people's eyes, Guan Yi and Nian Qing were just happily chatting together.

  But little did he know, after Officer One left, there were several dirty footprints on Nian Qing's ceremonial robe.

  Fortunately, the footprint was not very conspicuous, but being seen by others would also be a loss of face, and our family is one that values face.

  Qing sighed and mentally gave the official the middle finger. She lowered her body to see if she could erase the footprints.

  Suddenly, the colorful lights on the dinner party scene all went out, and on the stage, there was a host who was hosting some kind of entertainment activity...

  Ning Qing hadn't noticed, she looked at the footprints on her skirt hem, couldn't brush them off, so she went to the bathroom, planning to wet a bit of water and wash it clean.

  After much effort, Nian Qing came out of the restroom and returned to the dinner party, but a white spotlight shone solely on her, and in an instant, she became the focus of everyone's attention.

  Ning Qing thought she had walked into someone important's position by mistake, so she retreated a few steps and avoided him - the white light followed her like a shadow.

  She stood there in a daze, at a loss for what to do, as a tall and handsome man walked straight towards her.

  "Give me your hand."

  His voice was low and slow, as if it surrounded his heart.
