This sudden change made Zhou Ning very happy.

She thanked him and nodded, then walked out of the office without looking back.

Huo Qingzhou sat at his desk, looking at Zhou Ning excitedly leaving in confusion, his brows slightly furrowed.

its not right.

Why should this time be different?

Obviously the lines and situation are basically the same as last time.

In order to make it consistent, he even imitated the tone of voice from last time and said the same words.

Normally, Zhou Ning would run over and hug his neck and kiss his handsome face when she was excited, but now she left without looking back, leaving only her back getting farther and farther away.

Which step was wrong?

He was puzzled.

snort!

This kiss wasn't easy to get.

Zhou Ning naturally didn't think about these things. After going out, he came to the green plant area and saw those vibrant plants, which made him feel happy.

Humans are creatures that require energy.

Being in nature and getting along with flowers, plants and trees can help you accumulate energy.

She estimated that the time was about right. If she didn't go back for a long time, she was really worried that Huo Qingzhou would come out to look for her.

Passing by the tea room, he prepared to make a cup of coffee for Huo Qingzhou.

He has been very busy during this period. Although she can't help him with his work, she also wants to do something for him.

However, before I could even go in, I heard gossiping voices coming from inside.

She is quite interested in gossip, especially knowing that places like companies are the hotbeds of gossip.

She held her breath and tried to listen, but she soon realized that even if they were gossiping, she didn't know who it was because she was not an employee here.

Suddenly, I heard the words "CEO" and "sponsor".

She listened again.

Soon, the corner of her mouth twitched, as if someone was talking about her.

Oops.

Listening to gossip, she heard it over her own head.

"She doesn't look like a poor relative of the president. She even shamelessly accompanies the president on business trips. What a nuisance! It's speechless."

"Yes, it refreshed my worldview and also increased Secretary He's workload."

"I think she is probably being kept by the CEO and wants to become a phoenix. How ridiculous! A toad wants to eat swan meat. Sooner or later, he will be kicked away."

Zhou Ning stood there, listening to their unpleasant discussions in private, feeling very disappointed.

If she hadn't heard it with her own ears today, she wouldn't have known that some people could say such harsh things behind people's backs.

Not wanting to hear them continue talking, Zhou Ning was about to open the door and walk in, when He Mei's gentle voice suddenly came from behind him: "Are you okay?"

When she turned around, she saw He Mei staring at her with complicated eyes.

He Mei stepped forward and said, "I also heard their conversation inside just now. You must be feeling bad."

Zhou Ning said nothing, just taking it as his agreement.

He Mei said earnestly: "Don't worry about it. They may think that your relationship with Brother Qingzhou is unclear, so they will inevitably discuss it."

Unclear...

These four simple words, like a needle, pierced Zhou Ning's heart.

He Mei stared at her carefully: "Although I don't know how you and Brother Qingzhou know each other, we are both girls, I think it is necessary to remind you that you still have to recognize your identity and protect yourself.

Brother Qingzhou will not marry you. For a wealthy family like us, the most important thing is to marry someone of equal status."

Zhou Ning felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to retort, but he couldn't find a reason.

Originally, Huo Qingzhou had no plans to marry her.

He Mei suddenly smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm doing this for your own good. I don't want to see you get hurt, so I told you so much. I hope you can think it over carefully."

After he finished speaking, it seemed that the effect was almost there, at least the expression on Zhou Ning's face had changed.

She pretended to have something to do and left.

I just hope that her education can make Zhou Ning realize the reality and know the huge gap between her and Huo Qingzhou, so that she won't cling to Huo Qingzhou anymore and should just get as far away from him as possible.

When he returned to the office, Zhou Ning had tried his best to calm down.

She still felt a little depressed.

The private discussions of the employees kept echoing in my ears.

Although she knows that these are external matters and should not affect her mood, and that she just needs to live her life well, it is really difficult to do so.

Just like the saying goes, I understand the truth, but it is still difficult to live a good life.

I wanted to check my phone and accidentally saw a picture that He Mei had posted previously on my Moments. It was accompanied by a text that was roughly sharing work fragments.

Between the lines, there is confidence in work and expectations for the future.

Among them, one picture caught her attention.

That was He Mei's selfie. In the photo, besides her, there was another person sitting behind her. Her face could not be seen, only a bony hand that stole the spotlight.

Zhou Ning zoomed in and took a closer look out of curiosity, and was very sure that it was Huo Qingzhou's hand.

The Buddhist beads on the wrist are very conspicuous.

She couldn't help but think of what He Mei had just said to her. Although they were the truth, she still smelled something wrong. Could it be that He Mei liked Huo Qingzhou?

She subconsciously glanced in the man's direction, her head drooping.

Huo Qingzhou had no idea about all this. When he met the girl's gaze, he only thought about why he didn't get a kiss from Zhou Ning just now.

It's obviously the same situation.

The results are different.

After finishing his work, Huo Qingzhou took Zhou Ning out of the company directly.

Zhang Cai followed, driving the car.

In the car, Huo Qingzhou glanced at Zhou Ning several times and always felt that something was wrong with her. She looked a little listless since she came back from the office.

Could it be that he remembered that he forgot to give him a kiss and was now regretting it?

Thinking of this, he moved a little closer, and more importantly, he moved his face closer.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ning pushed him away: "Stay away."

Huo Qingzhou's face fell and his face dropped to the ground.

He wanted to say a few words, but seeing Zhou Ning's unhappy expression, he threw all his pride aside and asked, "Unhappy?"

"No."

Zhou Ning denied it.

Huo Qingzhou naturally didn't believe it. Seeing her pouting, he couldn't help but pinch the corner of her mouth, forcing her to turn her head.

"You're not unhappy, why don't you look at me and answer."

Suddenly she bumped into the man's dark eyes, and Zhou Ning's heart was rippled.

When she saw Huo Qingzhou's hand, she pursed her lips.

Huo Qingzhou was confused.

He first learned from his mother that women were unpredictable and unpredictable, but his mother was always made happy by his father.

Now seeing Zhou Ning like this, he understood it even more deeply.

In the past, he absolutely felt that whether Zhou Ning was happy or not had nothing to do with him, but now, as long as he saw that there was anything wrong with Zhou Ning's emotions, his mood would be greatly affected.

He was so anxious that he hugged Zhou Ning in his arms.

At the same time, Zhang Cai consciously raised the baffle inside the car.

Being close to him, Zhou Ning's heart was in disarray, and his overbearing voice of comfort came to her ears: "Don't be unhappy."
