Love You Till the End-Chapter 924 - 923: Because I Feel Like He Likes You

She suddenly remembered the discussions she overheard in the restroom today.

A girl like her, mixing drinks at a nightclub, unfazed while teasing drunken patrons, indeed wasn’t as simple as she appeared on the surface.

Shi Aoju’s fiancée. This title always seemed to clog Su Jiuyi’s heart whenever she thought about it, but she couldn’t explain why.

Pressing her lips together, she ultimately answered the phone: "Jingren."

"Jiuyi, why are you going home so early today?" It was quiet on the other end; she must not be at the nightclub.

"I don’t really like such occasions, so I came back." Su Jiuyi replied.

"Aha." Qi Jingren’s tone rose suddenly, "Young Master Jue must be feeling sorry for you."

Su Jiuyi tightened her grip on the phone, choosing silence.

"Did I hit the mark, right? Who would’ve thought someone as aloof as Shi Aoju could be so considerate."

"Jingren." Su Jiuyi interrupted her talk, taking a few steps to the stairs, leaning on the handrail, "You’re Young Master Jue’s fiancée, right?"

Qi Jingren paused for two seconds and then laughed: "Hmm... you found out?"

Actually, as a friend, Qi Jingren could help her this much, Su Jiuyi felt very grateful, as for hiding her background, there was nothing to blame Jingren for, just like how Song Zhike teased her at the time, who doesn’t have secrets.

Moreover, she hadn’t revealed her identity to Qi Jingren, so all things considered, they were even.

Besides, this matter itself wasn’t about right or wrong, she appeared later, inserted herself into the situation, how could she misunderstand Jingren this way?

Oh Su Jiuyi, you’re just too much!

Thinking this, she intended to apologize to Qi Jingren, but before the words left her mouth, Qi Jingren’s voice came through on the other side.

"Sorry, Jiuyi."

Waiting without a response for a long time, Qi Jingren thought she was angry, quickly said, "I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you’d have hard feelings. My parents are abroad, I’ve been living here with my brother for over a year, Shi Aoju and I hardly ever spoke, so there’s nothing between us, we’re just friends, and as things look now, the engagement will probably be canceled."

"I don’t blame you, Jingren, looking at it I’ve also kept things from you. I should be the one saying sorry." Su Jiuyi took a deep breath, "What’s the situation you mentioned, why cancel?"

Can engagements set by families be easily undone?

When she was with the Su Family, Su Jiuyi often heard Zhao Shuya complain to Su Manning that no noble family can escape an already set engagement, it’s like trust in business.

"Because I feel he likes you."

Qi Jingren’s words dropped lightly in Su Jiuyi’s heart, causing ripples.

In front of her appeared many faces of Shi Aoju: his scolding, his slight anger, his smile and his gentleness, the helpless expression facing her befuddlement, the mischievous smile when teasing her...

Scenes like old films replayed continuously before her.

Shi Aoju likes her?

How is that possible.

"Jingren, what are you talking about!?" Su Jiuyi’s face blushed, her tone urgent as if wanting to shake off dirt.

Qi Jingren was in high spirits, not forgetting to tease her: "I mean it, Qin Shaobai said he never brought a woman to banquets, let alone today’s more solemn occasion, a birthday banquet without needing a dance partner."
