Ning Shu was starting to get a little annoyed with Song Ning for always asking why she didn’t love her. Why the frick should she love her? She was a frickin’ woman!

  Couldn’t this girl just wait until Gong Luo came back to flirt with Gong Luo?

  Right now, all she wanted was to complete this task, then leave this world. 2333 was completely dead. No matter how she called, there was no response so she was very worried that she would remain stuck in this world.

  And she’d even have to be a man for an entire lifetime. She felt like dying just at the thought of it.

  When Song Ning saw that Ning Shu’s facial color wasn’t good, she shrugged and said with a pout, “Forget it, I won’t say anymore. If I say more, you’ll just be annoyed with me and feel like I’m pressuring you.”


  Song Ning left the office, but her silhouette looked very hurt.

  Ning Shu wiped at her face, then continued working.

  When it was time to get off work, An Nuan walked into Ning Shu’s office. She wasn’t wearing the loose-fitting sanitary uniform anymore and was now wearing a dress. This contrast made her seem actually stunningly pretty.

  Ning Shu lifted her brows as she looked at An Nuan. “What is it?”


  An Nuan looked a little hesitant, but in the end, she said, “Um, uh, to repay you, I wanted to treat you to dinner. Please give me a chance to express my thanks.”


  Ning Shu directly rejected the offer. “No need, just return the money to me soon.”


  “Say, is money the only thing that exists in the eyes of capitalists like you? Money is one thing, my gratitude is another. Please, alright? Let me just treat you to dinner as thanks.” An Nuan rubbed her hands together in a begging manner as she said this.

  Ning Shu still decisively refused. She didn’t want to be in the same frame as the female lead in case something else happened.

  Nope, it was way too dangerous.

  When An Nuan saw that Ning Shu had rejected her request without bothering to be the slightest bit polite, her eyes filled with confusion. “Why? You lent money to me and saved my younger brother, so I have to express my thanks. I’m also doing this to apologize.”


  “Apologize?” repeated Ning Shu in surprise.

  An Nuan nodded. “I used to think that you were a really bad person, but I realize now that you’re actually a pretty good person. In my time of need, you actually lent me money. I apologize for my past impression.”


  Ning Shu waved dismissively. “No need.”


  Song Ning walked over and wrapped her arms around Ning Shu’s elbow. After glancing briefly at An Nuan, she said, “Since the person’s sincere in wanting to thank you, why not go? You lent five hundred thousand to her at the drop of a hat, so it’s only natural for her to at the very least treat you to a meal.”


  Ning Shu: …


  The frick? Why was this woman trying to join in the liveliness?

  When An Nuan saw Song Ning wrap her arm around Ning Shu’s arm, she suddenly had a strange feeling like something of hers had been partially stolen.

  This feeling was too strange. An Nuan shook her head to suppress this feeling, then asked, “You’re agreeing?”


  “He agrees, but I’m going as well. You don’t mind, right?” Song Ning tilted her head as she leaned against Ning Shu’s arm.

  She minded, of course she minded! An Nuan didn’t know why, but she really didn’t like this. She was inviting the CEO to dinner, so why was Song Ning following? When she recalled their relationship, she felt very awkward.

  “I don’t mind. Miss Song, let’s go together,” said An Nuan.

  Ning Shu hadn’t expected An Nuan to actually take them to a high class restaurant. Did An Nuan have the money to be treating them at a place like this?

  She didn’t even have enough for the surgery, but now she wanted to treat them to dinner here?
