The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 655 - 623

"Ning Xiuyuan, get up! You’re a man, what do you look like?" Qiao Qiqi forcefully tried to pull him up, feeling uncomfortable seeing him like this.

"I won’t get up. If you refuse to be my girlfriend, why should I act like a man?" Ning Xiuyuan was utterly distraught.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

Jiang Yibo and Fu Xinjing, hiding nearby and peeking at the situation, were extremely anxious, wanting to rush over, but felt that their appearance now would only make things worse!

The boss being rejected in a confession was already embarrassing enough; if the two of them appeared at this moment, it would be even more humiliating for him.

Ning Xiuyuan also realized he was being inappropriate, so he raised his arm to wipe the tears from his face, and slowly let go of her hand, "I’m sorry."

"I’m fine, but you... try to understand. There are many girls in this world; it’s not just me. If I don’t accept you, you can find another one who likes you back."

As a straightforward girl, Qiao Qiqi believed she was making a valid point!

Moreover, her logic was this: if she confessed to someone and was rejected, she wouldn’t continue to like them.

"Qiao Qiqi, do you even have a heart? How can you just stop liking someone like that?" Ning Xiuyuan was so angry that his liver hurt.

Did this girl even know how heartless and hurtful her words were?

He would rather she lie to him than reject him so bluntly, leaving no room for hope.

But... this is who she is, the reason he’s deeply attracted to her, the girl he likes.

"I think if you know there’s no outcome, you shouldn’t waste time. You need to stop having illusions." Qiao Qiqi looked at him very seriously.

Better a short pain than a long one; she couldn’t give him any chance to fantasize!

Ning Xiuyuan, "..."

He still wanted to cry.

"You can’t guarantee you’ll end up with Gu Shili, marry him, and have kids, can you?"

"That’s true, I can’t guarantee." Qiao Qiqi shook her head honestly.

"So, I still have a chance! Moreover, even if you marry and have kids with him, so what? I don’t care; as long as I’m around, Gu Shili should watch out because I might steal your heart one day!"

"I’ve made it so clear, yet you’re still not giving up?" Qiao Qiqi frowned at him, feeling a bit irritated.

She only wanted to be friends with him, nothing more.

"Not giving up. I like you! I’ll like you for this lifetime!" Ning Xiuyuan looked at her firmly.

Qiao Qiqi, "..."

She actually didn’t quite understand.

Because, as far as now goes, she wasn’t even sure she liked Gu Shili.

Actually, she now loved her family and brothers more.

Chaotic footsteps were approaching, startling Jiang Yibo and Fu Xinjing, who were peeking, and they quickly turned to leave. As they turned, they saw Guan Ziyuan rushing up, looking particularly frantic.

"Where’s Qiqi?" Guan Ziyuan rushed over.

"I’m here, what’s wrong?" Upon hearing the voice, Qiao Qiqi ran over, recognizing it as Guan Ziyuan’s voice; it was rare to hear him so frantic.

Something must have happened.

"Qiqi, go quickly, Lin Tingyu and Yang Xiaoqing are missing!" Guan Ziyuan grabbed Qiao Qiqi’s wrist and pulled her inside.

But in the next second, he was thrown off, watching as Qiao Qiqi sprinted away so quickly that she vanished in the blink of an eye.
