Nodding, Yin Liting also greeted her:

"You came here alone?"

He changed to another glass of wine and was just about to ask her if she was feeling better when his nose suddenly started to itch. Thinking he was going to sneeze, he instinctively turned his back and raised his hand to his nose.

However, the uncomfortable sour feeling soon passed, and after waiting for a while and rubbing his nose, he turned back.

This normal action looked like a lack of energy and an attempted yawn to Zhu Nianqing, so her originally happy expression on her face instantly became much more restrained:

"Brother Ting, have you not had enough rest recently? I see that you look very tired, and you even have dark circles under your eyes."

"Fortunately."

Yin Liting shook the wine glass in his hand and took another sip, but changed the subject:

"What do you want that brings you here so late at night?"

Her body needs to be taken care of, and Mr. Wen also suggested that she should maintain a regular work and rest schedule. Work in the entertainment industry is not actually very suitable for her. Fortunately, she does not rely entirely on this for a living, so she is relatively free to take on jobs.

Only those who have achieved a certain transaction amount are eligible to enter this private reception.

Yin Liting was actually quite surprised that she would come to this auction and attend this tight cocktail party.

It's called a cocktail party, but in fact it's just a place for people who are waiting to go through formalities to take a break. Most of the people who appear here are similar to him, or they come here with a purpose, like Mr. Yu, who really has a special liking for a certain collection.

There were actually only a handful of women in the entire venue.

As for Zhu Nianqing's physical condition, no matter what she is interested in, there is actually no need for her to appear here.

Sometimes, he thought she was ambitious and good; sometimes, he thought she didn't take good care of herself, like at this moment, it was really troublesome.

Such a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and Yin Liting was frightened by his own thoughts.

Being sensitive and used to observing people's expressions, Zhu Nianqing gave up all her original intention to get close to him and said calmly:

"No, I just happened to meet an investor and was dragged here. He said he wanted to introduce a friend to me. I was already late, and when I got to the door, I was stopped by a strange man and harassed for a long time."

"It's funny to say, it was similar to the first time we met, he grabbed my arm and called me by my nickname as soon as he saw me, my name is really ordinary~"

"In the end, by the time I got in, the auction was already over."

"Fortunately, the guy is pretty handsome, so I don't think it's a big loss to leave him contact information."

"I just got in by chance, and I saw you when I met two bosses."

……

Zhu Nianqing spoke casually, looking like he was reminiscing and having a headache.

In fact, she knew that the man was Zhou Yulang, a relative of the Yin family. He had a good relationship with their family and they had met in the hospital last time.

It's just that there were a lot of people in the hospital. She is a public figure after all. When she went there that day, she was wearing a half mask. She didn't wear any makeup, and her complexion must not have been much better. She was in a messy state, so it's estimated that if she wasn't someone she knew or close to, they wouldn't necessarily recognize her.

Naturally, every sentence and every word she said had deep meaning.

Upon hearing this, Yin Liting guessed roughly:

"Nianqing——"

"Ok?"

After opening his lips several times, Yin Liting suddenly didn't know where to start. Looking at the familiar yet different face in front of him, thinking that today was different from the past, he finally shook his head gently:

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you've been to acupuncture recently? That Chinese medicine doctor seems pretty good."

Without saying a single extra word or asking any extra questions, is he really not worried or upset at all?

Even if you are just an ordinary friend with whom you have a good relationship, you would feel disappointed if the relationship suddenly turns cold!

Deep disappointment piled up in his heart, but Zhu Nianqing forced a smile on his face:

"I'm much better lately but I'm a little busy. I'll go check it out when I have time. By the way, I have a pet cat. I may have to go out for some location shooting tomorrow. Would it be convenient for you to take care of it for a few days?"

"cat?"

When he raised his eyelids, Yin Liting was obviously stunned:

"How can you raise something like this?"

Most pets carry germs, and epileptic patients need a clean environment. They need to pay attention to things like perfume and pollen, not to mention pets like cats and dogs that shed easily?

This is simply playing with your own life!

"It's not that I want to keep one. I just heard Aunt Wang say that she had a pet cat that died accidentally and she was very sorry. She often dreamed about it. A few days ago, I saw that she was not in a good mood, so I wanted to buy one for her."

"As a result, I just picked it out, but unfortunately, Wang Ma had to go back to her hometown to deal with something."

"It happened to be New Year's Day, so I told her not to worry and to stay home for a few more days to spend time with her family."

"I've been raising it for more than a week now, and it's OK. Potato is very cute, and I like it. Every day I ask the housekeeper to clean the house, and I just feed it, play with it, and occasionally hold and touch it for a while, and it's very happy."

"If I start working tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it would be inconvenient to take it out. I'm afraid it will run away. It's also hard to take care of it at home. Aunt Wang hasn't come back yet. I don't know what to do."

"I used to think that Wang's mother was hypocritical for breaking up with her best friend over a cat, missing her previous cat for years, and having dreams. But after I got my own cat, I realized that I could really treat it like a child. Just looking at it makes me happy, and I don't feel tired doing anything for it."

"Especially someone like me, who is alone now..."

"Actually, I can also hire someone to take care of it. Wang Ma's previous cat was left in the care of her best friend, but it was accidentally killed by her best friend's family. I'm afraid the same will happen to Tudou."

"I spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy them. If I wasn't really not suitable for raising them, I would like to grow potatoes myself."

"But it's OK to give it to Aunt Wang. She likes cats and will definitely take good care of Potato. Besides, as long as she's around, I can still look at it occasionally. I should be able to look at it for a long, long time, which is also good."

"It's so cute. It barks when it sees me, just like a little kid..."

Seeing her moved, her words inadvertently revealed envy. Thinking of her physical condition and whether she could have her own children in this lifetime, Yin Liting softened his heart:

"Why don't you send me home?"

With so many people in the Zhu family, can’t they take care of a cat?

"..."

Zhu Nianqing lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, and Yin Liting knew that she had not yet reconciled with her family:

"A family still holds grudges? Do you want me to call Qinghao?"

"do not want!"

Yin Liting just said it casually, but Zhu Nianqing's suddenly high voice startled him:

"Nianqing?"

What caused her to react so strongly?

"You don't need to take care of the cat anymore."

After saying this, Zhu Nianqing turned around with a sullen face and was about to leave. Seeing this, Yin Liting couldn't refuse and reached out to hold her:

"That's not what I meant. Leave it to me. I promise I won't let you take care of me to death."
