Ning Qing was stunned. After she understood what he meant, her face turned cold.

No matter how hard it is, I have to protect my own life.

Shen Yao asked,why? Because you're pregnant?

Ning Qing's whole body stiffened. She straightened her back and said with confidence, yes and no. With or without this child, I will try my best to live my life well.

Shen Yao couldn't help but mock her. your life is to stay by that man's side and be unknown for the rest of your life? he asked:

Ning Qing was not willing to be defeated. Her eyes were firm. yes.

Shen Yao gritted his teeth. everything you have now is an illusion. It will fall apart one day. When the truth comes, aren't you afraid that you will get used to this kind of peace and then you won't be able to accept it? Or are you willing to continue deceiving yourself?

Ning Qing adjusted her breathing. I don't think everything is an illusion. The people and things around me are real. I'm real too. How can I be an illusion?

Shen Yao wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back.

You'll regret it! He said, not wanting to look into her pure and clear eyes.

Ning Qing's expression grew even colder.

Shen Yao, ever since the day I saved you, I have never regretted anything. Even if I didn't know you, even if I guessed that you had other motives, I would still save you on that day. I thought that we were friends.

The man's back trembled, his face tensed up, and his fists clenched even tighter.

but today, putting aside your ulterior motives, I'm disgusted by you for saying these things to me with such certainty and defining my life in such a way.

Whether your words are a reminder, a curse, or you and the people behind you are going to challenge me, I'm not afraid. I'll use my own way to defend everything that belongs to me.

She picked up the cup and took a sip.

The gaze of the person opposite her fell on her. Ning Qing frowned subconsciously, feeling that the water was a little strange.

She told herself not to think too much and straightened her posture.

But from now on, when we meet again, we'll pretend we've never known each other.

There was a flash of ice in Shen Yao's eyes, and it was fast and anxious.

She stood up and said, I'm done. Goodbye.

Shen Yao suddenly got up and grabbed her wrist.

Ning Qing turned around, her eyes cold.

this is a public place. Look carefully. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If you lay a hand on me, you won't be able to escape.

As she had said, the two of them would pretend that they had never known each other in the future.

She had already played her role well and no longer trusted him. She treated him like a stranger.

Shen Yao's back stiffened, and he slowly let go of his palm.

Let's go, he said.

Ning Qing looked at him warily for a while. After he said this, she turned around and walked toward the stairs.

The man followed behind her.

Just as she reached the stairs, her phone rang.

Ning Qing stopped in her tracks and took out her phone. It was Nian lie.

She felt a little guilty, but thinking of the person behind her, she still picked up the call.

Hey-

Where are you?

From the sound of it, a storm was coming.

Ning Qing put on a slightly flattering smile. I just came out of the mall for a while and took a break. I'm ready to go home. How about you? are you done with your work?

She cleverly skipped the matter of meeting Shen Yao alone and patiently waited for the response of the person opposite her.

Nian lie didn't say a word for a whole five seconds.

Ning Qing's heart was in her mouth. Nian lie?
