“I didn’t know what you liked, so I just randomly ordered some dishes.”

Shen Qing Huai said casually.

However, the dishes on the table didn’t look random at all. Ning Sheng looked at the array of delicious dishes and couldn’t help but laugh, “Isn’t this too much? There’s no way the two of us can finish all of this!”

Did he order everything on the menu? Has he gone mad?

Shen Qing Huai still appeared a bit embarrassed. “I just wanted to treat you to dinner.”

Ning Sheng looked at him and asked, “Do you have something else to tell me?”

Something else…

Was his intention so obvious?

However, he did not know if he dared to say it or if he should say it at all.

“Actually…”

Shen Qing Huai hesitated, unsure of what he should say and what was the best way to say it.

“Actually, what?” Ning Sheng asked.

Shen Qing Huai didn’t look like the confident man on stage at all. He looked like a shy and love-struck young boy, but for some reason, he was too embarrassed to tell Ning Sheng his true feelings.

Shen Qing Huai glanced at Ning Sheng, as if he had finally made up his mind.

Whether he spoke up or not, he would be hurt.

Since that was the case, he might as well speak up directly.

“Ning Sheng, actually, I’ve liked you for a long time.” Shen Qing Huai finally mustered up the courage to say it, and surprisingly, he didn’t stutter. After uttering the words, he looked at Ning Sheng’s eyes with determination, as if awaiting judgment.

Ning Sheng was stunned.

Was this a confession???

“Well, Shen Qing Huai, actually… I’m married.” Ning Sheng said.

Boom…

It felt like something in his mind had collapsed. She has a boyfriend???

No! Ning Sheng is married?!!

“When did you… when did you get married?” Shen Qing Huai was a bit incredulous.

She was actually married, it was really unbelievable.

Ning Sheng replied, “…About half a year ago, I guess?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qing Huai didn’t know what to say. He regretted not acting sooner, but because the Shen family had strict rules, and he couldn’t provide Ning Sheng with a definite future back then, he missed his chance.

“Ning Sheng, 1 really like you. If you don’t like that person, I…” Shen Qing Huai didn’t know what he was saying. What a joke, how could the man Ning Sheng married be bad?!

Ning Sheng smiled, “We were just elementary school classmates, and you may not really understand me, Shen Qing Huai. Can’t we just be ordinary friends?” She didn’t have many friends growing up.

But she had a good impression of Shen Qing Huai, mainly because he always looked innocent and was easily shy. However, she never expected that he had feelings for her.

“In my heart, 1 see you as a woman,” Shen Qing Huai said.

Hearing this, Ning Sheng replied, “Then we should stop contacting each other from now on.”

She was decisive, “1 really like my husband, and I can’t let him have any doubts or give anyone else a chance.”

Regarding her relationship with Lu Chu Yao, she was very serious.

“So, I’ve been… rejected,” Shen Qing Huai said.

Actually, he had investigated Ning Sheng’s situation before. He knew she had gone to college and had a boyfriend, so he gave up. But when she came to the capital alone, he thought he could try again.

In the end, he was just too indecisive.

“You’re a big star, and you have a lot of fans. You don’t necessarily have to like me.” Ning Sheng smiled and said, “Besides, there must be a lot of girls chasing you, you deserve better..”
