Xia Shangzhou did not look back from the beginning until the noise behind him disappeared. The door was pulled open and closed. The entire room was completely silent. The bowl in his hand fell into the dishwasher with a thud.

Then, he turned around and ran to the balcony. He stared downstairs for a while and saw her come out of the building and get into the car that was already waiting downstairs.

The car started up very quickly. As the car drove further and further away, Xia Shangzhou suddenly felt that his small house had become deserted.

..

Lin Jiayi immediately got her assistant to send her home. She spent a long time in the changing room before calling her assistant over. After which, she packed all of her things into a bag and carried them downstairs to the trunk.

After which, Lin Jiayi made a trip to the office and held a meeting. By the time she returned to the office, it was already three in the afternoon.

She instructed her assistant to prepare the car before heading back to the office to put on her coat. Just as she was about to head downstairs in her high heels, a thought suddenly struck her. She walked back to her desk and opened the drawer, from within, she took out the brocade box containing the diamond ring and placed it into her carry-on bag.

Lin Jiayi didn’t go straight to Beijing Grand Hotel. Instead, she went to a nearby shopping mall and enjoyed a relaxing SPA upstairs. Then, she made her hair, which she used to straighten whenever she met Qin Qin Qin, into her favorite big curls, she even put on a gentle peach-colored eye shadow and a bright red lip gloss. Then, she turned to the floor-to-ceiling mirror twice and looked at her beautiful and domineering self before stepping on her thin and tall shoes, she hurriedly brought her assistant downstairs, got into the car, and headed straight for the Beijing Hotel.

Even though she had an appointment with Qin Ting at six, it was already half past six when Lin Jiayi arrived.

When the manager of the Beijing Hotel greeted her, he told her that Mr. Qin had already arrived before half past five and had been waiting in the private room for more than an hour.

Lin Jiayi nodded slightly. Her shoes made a crisp and melodious tapping sound as they stepped on the bright marble floor.

The manager personally escorted Lin Jiayi to the entrance of the private room. Pushing the door open, Lin Jiayi immediately saw Qin Ting anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.

Hearing the commotion, Qin Ting immediately turned around. Without waiting for the manager to tell him that Miss Lin had arrived, he immediately rushed to Lin Jiayi’s side and exclaimed, “Jiayi, you’re finally here.”

Lin Jiayi glanced at Qin Ting and gave him an awkward yet polite smile. After which, she walked over to the dining table and sat down gracefully after the manager helped her pull out the main seat.

Qin Ting followed closely behind her and said, “Jiayi, I bought you a present. Do You Like It?”

With that, he took out a box from his pocket.

Lin Jiayi didn’t look at the present. Instead, she turned to the manager and said, “Serve the dishes.”

“Yes, Miss Lin.”

After the manager left, Lin Jiayi glanced at her assistant and asked, “Sit down. Why are you standing there?”

“Yes, CEO Lin.”

Hearing Lin Jiayi’s words, the assistant immediately ran over and pulled out a chair to sit beside Lin Jiayi.

Qin Ting, who had been ignored by Lin Jiayi, spoke up once more, “Jiayi, did I do something wrong? Did I make you unhappy? Why haven’t you been talking to me recently? If so, I’ll apologize to you…”
