CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 515: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY?

He turned around and walked out, only then did Qiao Anlu react and quickly follow, but as soon as she turned, she twisted her foot and was about to fall, but Ning Zesheng held her firmly and said, "No schedule lately?"

He spoke in a calm, indifferent tone, as if discussing everyday matters, but Qiao Anlu felt a chill in her heart and replied softly while looking down, "Tongtong had an incident, that’s why Sister Ada and I came to see her."

"And how is she now?"

"No, she’s fine now!"

"Since she’s fine, then go catch up on your notices. YT doesn’t raise idlers; if you have too few engagements, I can add a bit more for you." Ning Zesheng spoke calmly.

"Add... add more?" Qiao Anlu looked up at him with wide eyes, met his gaze for a second, and then quickly lowered her head in defeat, "I’ll head to the event site right away, I’ll go right now."

Ning Zesheng didn’t say anything this time but still had one hand in his pocket and the other holding her arm. Qiao Anlu mechanically turned her head to look at his hand holding hers, those long fingers, soft and intimate but annoyingly frustrating. Could he let go a bit quicker?

As if hearing her silent call, Ning Zesheng finally let go, "Be careful walking!"

"Got it! Mr. Ning, I’ll go find Sister Ada now and head to the event site soon!" She bowed at a ninety-degree angle and quickly ran off; was she being careful?

Watching her run away, Gu Xiyao’s gaze settled on Ning Zesheng, a faint smile appeared on her lips, "The actress who was said to be attacked by haters at Little Uncle’s house, is that her?"

"Yes." Ning Zesheng responded indifferently and then quietly sat beside her, seeming unaffected by the world.

Gu Xiyao also responded "Yes," "She is very pretty, has a good figure, and her personality is lively."

After she finished speaking, Ning Zesheng said nothing, seeming like he didn’t hear her at all.

Gu Xiyao stayed silent for a few seconds and then said, "From our engagement until now, it’s been five years. I remember at the engagement banquet, you didn’t even dance a waltz with me. Occasionally when I touched you, you showed resistance; you seem to detest contact with anyone?"

Ning Zesheng glanced at her, "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing." Gu Xiyao curled her lips and gently closed her eyes.

Ning Zesheng looked at her, still calm and serene as usual, his brows slightly furrowed.

Qiao Anlu was almost running away, hurrying to Ji Niandong’s hospital room, coincidentally Ada was also looking for her, Qiao Anlu rushed over, grabbed Ada’s arm, and said, "Sister Ada, is Tongtong okay now?"

"Where have you run off to again? So many people at the hospital, you’re chasing after Zhu Yiming, aren’t you afraid of being seen?" Ada reprimanded.

Qiao Anlu awkwardly smiled, "I know I was wrong; I won’t run after him in the hospital anymore."

Changed your tune?!

Ada waved her hand carelessly, lazy to ask more, "Tongtong needs rest now, it’s not good with so many people around, everyone has gone back, we should leave too."

"Okay, okay, let’s hurry to the engagement, otherwise I’ll be too busy every day."

Ada rarely saw her being so obedient, while walking she asked, "What amazing thing did Zhu Yiming do to make you so obedient?"

"No, it’s not!" Qiao Anlu said with a long face, "We just met Mr. Ning, he thinks I’m too idle and said he wants to give me more engagements, Sister Ada, if I add more, it’d be no different than selling myself!"

Ada looked knowingly, "I don’t mind you adding more engagements!"

"Sister Ada, how can you be like this?! Haven’t I earned you enough money? At this time you should stand in front, shield me from Mr. Ning’s blade, protect me... "

Trailing behind, she began to behave spoiled and arrogant again; Ada pretended not to hear.
