Xia Qiqi simply washed up, changed into a set of home clothes, and went downstairs.
Downstairs, the servant saw her appear and quickly came up enthusiastically, "Miss, you are up, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I was hungover last night, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable, just make me some porridge."
"Of course," the servant replied immediately, "Young Master got up early this morning and had me make some hangover porridge, he only ate a little, left a lot, and I've been keeping it warm. I'll serve it to you right away."
"Mm," Xia Qiqi murmured in acknowledgment.
At that moment she couldn't help feeling a bit ironic.
She didn't expect Xiao Nanchen to be quite adept at health preservation.
No wonder he was so delicate and pretty like a little white face.
Xia Qiqi sat at the dining table and slowly ate the hangover porridge. Although it was called hangover porridge, it was actually a mixture of vegetables and fruits. The porridge was quite thick, and the fruits and vegetables were aromatic and left a sweet aftertaste. Eating it made her stomach feel warm and full.
Xia Qiqi ended up having another bowl.
When she was halfway through the second bowl, she suddenly saw Nie Ziming come in.
The moment she saw Nie Ziming, a sense of "guilt" surged up in Xia Qiqi's heart.
It was because of what had happened between her and Xiao Nanchen last night that gave her an enormous sense of guilt toward Nie Ziming.
She even felt like she couldn't meet his eyes at that moment.
"Qiqi, how are you?" Not only did Nie Ziming not notice anything wrong with her, at that moment he was clearly full of concern.
"I'm fine, I got drunk last night and I'm just getting up to eat something now," Xia Qiqi answered as calmly as she could.
Of course she couldn't tell Nie Ziming about what had happened last night.
Although she really didn't know it was Xiao Nanchen last night, rationally Nie Ziming might accept it, but emotionally, he definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.
She considered this a well-meaning lie.
"You really scared me last night," Nie Ziming said with relief. "Don't drink so much next time, you hear?"
"Mm," Xia Qiqi nodded. She seemed to really not want to bring up last night again, and she immediately changed the subject and asked, "How come you came over here today, and so early? Isn't work always busy?"
"I was worried about you," Nie Ziming said indulgently with a smile. "I was going to come first thing this morning, but some urgent things came up at work today that I had to deal with. I was afraid that if I came I'd have to keep working and wouldn't be able to spend time with you properly, so after thinking about it, I went to the company first to get everything done so I could come keep you company at ease. But I didn't expect it to take me this long."
He seemed a bit guilty about it.
Xia Qiqi really felt like she must be stupid sometimes.
Nie Ziming treated her so well, he was just trying to use his own ability to make her happy, yet what was she still dissatisfied about?!
Complaining about him from time to time, she didn't know how hurtful that must be to Nie Ziming.
"Ziming, from now on I won't pressure you anymore. We're both still young after all, it doesn't matter if we get married and have kids a few years later." Xia Qiqi said very sincerely.
Nie Ziming smiled gently, he rubbed Xia Qiqi's head, "I'll do my best."
Meaning he would do his best to meet his own standards as soon as possible.
And then marry her as soon as possible.
"Oh, have you eaten lunch?" Xia Qiqi suddenly thought to ask.
Knowing Nie Ziming's tireless work ethic, in order to make time to accompany her, he probably hadn't eaten.
Sure enough, Nie Ziming shook his head.
Xia Qiqi really couldn't stand it.
She hurriedly had the servant bring porridge for Nie Ziming too.
Before the servant could bring it over, Nie Ziming suddenly requested, "I'm too hungry, why don't you feed me a spoonful first."
Without any hesitation, Xia Qiqi picked up her own spoon and fed Nie Ziming a spoonful.
It looked clearly intimate.
"Is it delicious..." She hadn't even finished asking.
Xia Qiqi suddenly saw Xiao Nanchen walk past the living room and go straight upstairs.
Nie Ziming glanced over out of the corner of his eye, the corners of his lips curving up into a cold smile.
Just then, the servant brought over a bowl of porridge.
Xia Qiqi drew her gaze back.
She gave Nie Ziming a little smile, "Eat up."
She was completely undisturbed by Xiao Nanchen's appearance, as if it hadn't disrupted her "sweet date" at all.
After the two finished eating the porridge, Xia Qiqi couldn't sit still at home.
And since Nie Ziming could finally relax for half a day, without thinking twice about it she wanted to go out and have fun with Nie Ziming.
Nie Ziming basically indulged Xia Qiqi in anything she wanted.
Nie Ziming waited outside Xia Qiqi's room for her to change clothes.
From afar he seemed to hear a man's familiar voice speaking.
Nie Ziming looked in that direction, hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over.
Walking over, it was a rooftop garden on the 2nd floor. A man was on the phone with his back turned.
"I came back this time wanting to pursue Xia Qiqi again," Nie Ziming didn't know who Xiao Nanchen was talking to.
But this one sentence was enough to instantly change Nie Ziming's expression.
He gritted his teeth to himself, took out his phone, and shot a video of Xiao Nanchen's back.
"Yes, I still can't forget about Xia Qiqi after all these years, so I want to try again to win her back."
"I know she and Nie Ziming have a great relationship now, but as long as they aren't married, anything's possible."
"Okay, thank you for your blessing."
Xiao Nanchen hung up the phone.
At the same time, Nie Ziming had also put away his phone and left.
The moment he left, Xiao Nanchen glanced over out of the corner of his eye.
Then he continued looking out at the blue sky over the city.
Looking down from the sky at a couple getting into a carriage affectionately and leaving.
...
10pm at night.
An Nuan moved her neck.
At that moment her whole body felt stiff.
She glanced at Hu Feng and saw him sitting on the sofa, truly motionless, back ramrod straight, showing no signs of tiredness at all.
"Are you always this stern?" An Nuan asked as she stretched.
Hu Feng turned his head to look at her. "Habit."
"What about your family?" She wondered if Hu Feng's coldness was something his family could stand.
"I'm an orphan."
"Sorry." An Nuan felt a little bad about it.
"It's nothing," Hu Feng shook his head. "I'm used to it."
"How did you meet Ye Jinghuai?" An Nuan changed the subject to avoid awkwardness.
"At a boxing match." Hu Feng answered.
"He went to watch you box?"
"No."
"Hm?" An Nuan was surprised. "Don't tell me he boxes too?"
Hu Feng didn't reply.
"Ye Jinghuai won't let you talk about it?" An Nuan immediately guessed.
"Yes."
An Nuan was a little speechless.
Did Ye Jinghuai need to be so mysterious?!
"You actually have better options, boxing champion, judo, you're so good at fighting, you could do anything. Being a bodyguard is a waste of your talent." An Nuan couldn't help saying.
"Mr. Ye is very generous to me, he gives me a lot of money every year."
"How much?" An Nuan was curious.
"1 million."
"Nevermind." An Nuan shut up immediately.
Her current annual salary wasn't even 100 thousand yet!
