She wanted Nan Xiaochen to know that Qing Shishi was only with him for his money.
However, she had underestimated Jiujiu and overestimated Nan Xiaochen.
As for men, they couldn't stand it when others said that a woman was with them only because of their money.
Even if that was the case, he would not be happy to hear it.
Besides, he had been with Qing Shishi for eight years. He knew very well whether she had true feelings for him.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Qing Shishi was really with him for money, he was unwilling to admit it. Because if he admitted it, would it not mean that in her eyes, he was not as good as RMB?
Therefore, even if Li Wanwan told him that Jiujiu had told her personally that she was with him for his money, he would not believe her.
Not only would the minister of South Winds not believe her, he would even think that Jiujiu had said those words purely out of spite.
Hence, Li Wanwan told Nan Xiaochen anxiously, "Qing Shishi told me all this herself. She said that she's with you for your money."
Li Wanwan's words did not convince Nan Xiaochen that Jiujiu was with him for money. Instead, it annoyed Nan Xiaochen.
He liked Li Wanwan because of her naivety and innocence.
However, her current behavior was no different from those women who liked to gossip behind others' backs.
This Li Wanwan was not someone he liked.
His face darkened as he glared at her and scolded loudly, "Don't say anymore. I don't want to hear this anymore. Don't say it again."
This was the first time Nan Xiaochen had spoken to her in such a manner. Furthermore, it was for the sake of the woman who had dumped him. Li Wanwan's eyes instantly reddened as she felt extremely wronged. She was clearly doing this for his own good, so why was he unwilling to listen to her?
In the end, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said softly, "I understand."
Seeing that Li Wanwan had calmed down and become the Li Wanwan he liked again, Nan Xiaochen's expression softened.
His finger gently brushed across Li Wanwan's cheek as he said softly, "I don't know what other people say, but she's not the kind of person you think she is. Besides, we've already broken up. The person I like now is you. My relationship with her is that of a boss and an employee. What are you worried about?"
His expression, tone, and body language were clearly gentle and intimate, but Li Wanwan felt very cold.
It was not a physical coldness but a coldness that came from the depths of her bones.
She knew that it was best for her not to say a word now, but she could not help saying, "I'm worried that I'll lose you."
"I'm your boyfriend now. Only life and death can separate us. No one can take me away from you. Don't worry."
Nan Xiaochen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Holding her hand, he said with a smile, "There's a new French restaurant nearby. It's not bad. I'll take you there to try it."
This was a classic example of giving a carrot after a stick.
Li Wanwan had just been scolded by Nan Xiaochen. Now that he was being gentle to her, she seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw. She immediately held his hand and followed him to dinner.
After dinner, Nan Xiaochen specially bought a bouquet of pink roses for her and sent her home.
This time, she invited him to her house for coffee again, but he excused himself with the excuse that he had some matters to attend to.
Looking at the back of his car, Li Wanwan's clear and bright eyes were covered with a layer of gloominess.
She had a feeling that today's incident had changed her relationship with Nan Xiaochen a little.
She had always thought that Nan Xiaochen truly cared for her, but now, her thoughts were shaken.
If Nan Xiao Chen truly cared for her, why was he so fierce to her?
Moreover, when he heard her mention Qing Shishi, he did not listen to her explanation and directly reprimanded her. He even ended it by saying, 'She's not the kind of person you think she is.'
She had previously thought that Qing Shishi was not the kind of person she thought she was, but did she really say that to her?
Nan Xiaochen, as her boyfriend, did not defend his current girlfriend when she had a disagreement with his ex-girlfriend. Instead, he defended his ex-girlfriend. It was clear who was more important in his heart between her and Qing Shishi.
Thinking of what Jiujiu had said to her about their eight-year relationship being incomparable to her one-month relationship, Li Wanwan knew that she had already lost before the battle had even started.
Eight years was a quarter of Nan Xiaochen's life. Such companionship was indeed incomparable to her one-month relationship.
Still, she was unwilling to give up.
This was the first time she had met someone as rich as Nan Xiaochen, and it was also the first time she liked someone so much. She did not want to let go.
Since she did not want to let go, she would do her best to hold onto him tightly.
She swore that she would snatch Nan Xiaochen's heart back from Qing Shishi's hands.
Actually, Nan Xiaochen did not have any work to do.
He also knew that after yesterday's incident, Li Wanwan understood what it meant to continue asking him to go upstairs for coffee.
However, he did not know why, but after she said that Jiujiu was with him for money, he instantly lost interest in being with her.
It was not that he did not like her anymore. He still had some feelings for her, but he felt that she was different from before. His interest in her was also not as strong as before.
Nan Xiaochen sat in the car and lit a cigarette. He took a deep puff and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. His vision instantly became hazy.
His mouth was filled with the bitter taste of tobacco, and he suddenly remembered that Qing Shishi did not like him to smoke.
When they first got together, Qing Shishi was willing to endure the humiliation. Although she did not like it, she only frowned slightly. When they became familiar with each other, she directly told him that she did not like him smoking and hoped that he would not smoke in front of her.
At that time, he was very interested in her, so he promised her that he would try his best not to smoke.
Later on, he would spit smoke in Qing Shishi's face. Whenever he thought of her exasperated yet helpless look, he inexplicably missed her.
If it were before, he would definitely call her to come over if he missed her.
However, now that they had broken up, their relationship as a kept woman had been dissolved. Even if he missed her, he could only forget about it.
In the next two days, Nan Xiao Chen went on a business trip. When he came back on Monday for a meeting, he suddenly found that the person taking the minutes was a secretary he was not familiar with and not Jiujiu. He instantly frowned.
