Chapter 561: Chapter 465: The Porcelain Mushroom

Qi Xingzhou looked like a small animal that had just become aware, with a bashful gaze resting upon Jiang Ning.

His thoughts were far from difficult to guess.

When Jiang Ning heard his words, there was a moment of silence, and then she precisely pinpointed a blind spot that had previously been overlooked by her, "Do you also think that we are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"

Qi Xingzhou nodded without hesitation, his movement earnest and serious.

He and Jiang Jiang were indeed boyfriend and girlfriend.

They had been for quite some time.

Jiang Ning had taken his hand to go out for fun and had even bought him tasty treats; the care she provided him, if not meticulous to every detail, was with wholehearted devotion.

He had looked at the stack of books his elder brother had given him before, and the characters within acted just like Jiang Ning when facing someone they liked!

Although the genders seemed to have swapped around, that wasn’t a problem.

Why was Jiang Ning good to him? Wasn’t it all because she liked him!

Qi Xingzhou had no doubt about that.

The way he nodded his head was filled with righteous vigor, carrying a sort of confidence that seemed to come out of nowhere.

His unabashed assurance actually made Jiang Ning unsure, "...When did this happen?"

She had a boyfriend?

She had no idea.

Qi Xingzhou wasn’t foolish anymore; he could now infer the implicit meanings behind others’ tones when they spoke.

As soon as Jiang Ning opened her mouth.

He understood her meaning.

Jiang Ning didn’t acknowledge their relationship!

She didn’t want to take responsibility for him anymore!

For Qi Xingzhou, this was akin to a bolt from the blue.

In his mind, he and Jiang Ning were supposed to be together always, forever able to stick close and be happy.

He had never considered that one day Jiang Ning would deny their relationship.

His eyes reddened.

After all, he was a young master from the Qi Family, carefully nurtured from childhood. Even though he never cared for his outward appearance, from childhood a high-class fashion designer would pay visits every season to create the most fitting apparel for the young masters of the Qi Family.

Qi Xingzhou’s attire was no different.

When the two had participated in a variety show before, many netizens had mentioned that they had no idea which brand was sponsoring Qi Xingzhou’s clothes, finding each outfit especially attractive. At a glance, they seemed casual and unassuming, but a closer examination would reveal that the young man’s attire was not only soft and comfortable to wear but also appeared very classy and glossy to onlookers.

He just stood there quietly in front of Jiang Ning, his hair drooping dispiritedly.

That height of over one meter eighty didn’t bring about any sense of threat; instead, it made him seem like a big, clumsy goose, naive about the world and easy for anyone to bully.

No matter the pain and injury in his heart, he didn’t blame Jiang Ning in the slightest.

He just stood there, shrugging his shoulders, with his downcast eyes looking pitiful, creating an image as if they were about to shatter, inadvertently casting Jiang Ning as a heartless seducer who leads on and then abandons others.

This rapid transformation left Jiang Ning speechless.

Jiang Ning quickly pondered, where had things gone wrong?

Had she... done something inappropriate to Qi Xingzhou without realizing it before?

Qi Xingzhou’s confidence was so overwhelming, and combined with the sudden incident, it made Jiang Ning start to doubt herself.

From the beginning to the end, she would rather question herself than doubt Qi Xingzhou even once.
