However, when he received Cheng Moda's call asking if he had broken up with Qing Shishi so that he could pursue her, the string in Nan Xiaochen's head instantly snapped.
A man's pride made him say emotionlessly, "We've already broken up. If you want to pursue her, then pursue her. What are you talking to me about?"
Although his words were tough, Nan Xiaochen knew very well that he did not want Cheng Moda to pursue Jiujiu.
Whether or not Cheng Moda managed to pursue Jiujiu, he would still be very unhappy.
After receiving Nan Xiaochen's silent approval, Cheng Moda was ecstatic. He immediately called Jiujiu and asked her out for a meal, preparing to pursue Jiujiu.
When Jiujiu received Cheng Moda's call, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "There's no need for a meal. I have no interest in Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng, please find another girl."
Cheng Moda was not angry at Jiujiu's rejection. He only smiled and said, "To be honest, I've liked Shishi for a long time. Other than you, it's hard for me to be moved by anyone else. I know that Nan Xiaochen's matter has made you lose confidence in relationships, but I still hope that you can give me a chance. I really want to marry you."
"Sorry."
After saying that, Jiujiu hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Jiujiu continued to cook and chuckled.
Having lived for so long, she was able to discern the sincerity in Cheng Moda's words.
Cheng Moda really wanted to be with her.
If it was as Cheng Moda had said, that he had liked her for a long time, then it was obvious that he had always liked Qing Shishi. It was just that she had left too quickly. If she had left a few days later, she might have received a call from Cheng Moda, and the two of them might have been together.
When she thought of Nan Xiaochen's expression if Qing Shishi really got together with Cheng Moda, Jiujiu laughed out loud.
Jiujiu placed the cake in the preheated oven and sat in the living room to play games while waiting for the cake to come out of the oven.
After Cheng Moda was rejected by Jiujiu once, he called several times to ask Jiujiu to meet up, but he got the same answer every time.
After being rejected so many times, Cheng Moda's desire for Jiujiu grew. But because of this, he became more and more depressed.
Why could Nan Xiao Chen do it, and why couldn't he?
Cheng Moda was depressed, so he invited Nan Xiao Chen to drink with him.
Firstly, he wanted to vent his frustrations. Secondly, he wanted to find out how to pursue Jiujiu from Nan Xiao Chen.
If even Nan Xiao Chen's method was useless, then he would really have to give up.
When Nan Xiao Chen learned that Cheng Moda had not managed to catch up with Jiujiu after such a long time, he was secretly delighted. Then, he gladly accepted the appointment.
As the saying goes, getting drunk solves a thousand worries.
Cheng Moda immediately called Nan Xiao Chen to a bar for a drink.
The two of them found a table and sat down. They ordered drinks and drank in big mouthfuls.
Cheng Moda picked up the bottle of beer and downed it because he could not get his sweetheart.
After drinking three bottles of beer, the alcohol got to his head. Cheng Moda patted Nan Xiao Chen's arm and said with a depressed expression, "Nan Xiao Chen, I really envy you. How did you manage to get Shishi? Unlike me, it's been half a month, but no matter what I say, Shishi is not willing to come out and meet me."
Cheng Moda raised his hand and gestured one.
"I didn't even say that I wanted to date her. I just said that I wanted to meet her, but Shishi was not willing. Nan Xiao Chen, if you really have a way for me to pursue Shishi, you can ask me to do anything for you."
After Cheng Moda finished speaking, he looked at Nan Xiao Chen with hopeful eyes.
It was as if he had seen his last life-saving straw.
Cheng Moda's words made Nan Xiao Chen extremely frustrated.
What made him the most upset was that he could not fall out with Cheng Moda because he was working with his family business.
Nan Xiao Chen already could not let go of Jiujiu. Now that Cheng Moda asked him this, he said directly, "She's just a withered flower. Why do you care so much about her?"
Hearing Nan Xiao Chen call Jiujiu a withered flower, Cheng Moda instantly sat up straight and looked at Nan Xiao Chen in shock. "Nan Xiao Chen, how can you say that about Shishi? Shishi is a good girl. If she's willing, I can marry her right now. She's been by your side for eight years. How can you say that about her?"
The more Cheng Moda praised Jiujiu, the more upset Nan Xiao Chen was and the harsher his mouth became. "I'm not wrong. She's been by my side for eight years. I've long since gotten sick of her. If she's not a withered flower, what is she?"
"She's been by your side for eight years. How can you say that about her? Are you still human?"
Nan Xiao Chen retorted. "It's because she's been by my side for eight years that I know what kind of person she is."
"Ha." Jiujiu stood up and looked at Nan Xiao Chen. "This is the first time I've realized that this is what President Nan thinks of me."
Jiujiu's sudden appearance made Cheng Moda's eyes light up. It also made Nan Xiao Chen's heart beat faster and then he panicked.
The way Jiujiu looked at him was too cold. It was as if she was looking at a complete stranger.
Nan Xiao Chen's lips moved, but in the end, he remained silent.
Jiujiu ignored Cheng Moda. Jiujiu gave Nan Xiao Chen a deep look and then turned to leave.
Jiujiu's gaze was like ice in the dead of winter. It pierced the depths of Nan Xiao Chen's heart and made him shiver from the bottom of his heart.
Nan Xiao Chen clearly felt that he was about to lose Jiujiu.
Even though he felt that way, Nan Xiao Chen chose not to chase after Jiujiu for the sake of his pride. Instead, he stood where he was and watched as Jiujiu left.
Jiujiu had only come out for a drink, but she did not expect to meet Nan Xiao Chen so coincidentally. She even heard Nan Xiao Chen say that about her. It really gave her a good reason to leave.
Jiujiu called Li Xiang that night and told her that she might be away for a while. She booked the earliest flight to England the next day.
After Ross returned to the country, he called Jiujiu several times to invite Jiujiu to England.
Jiujiu hadn't made up her mind before. This time, she could go to England and completely leave Nan Xiao Chen.
Ross expressed his warmest welcome to Jiujiu's visit to England. He even brought his parents to see Jiujiu.
Ross's parents had heard about Jiujiu from Ross many times. This time, they were especially enthusiastic.
When Ross's parents heard Jiujiu's authentic English accent, they asked in surprise, "Jiujiu, did you grow up in England?"
Jiujiu smiled and said, "I used to stay here for a while."
Hearing Jiujiu say that she had stayed here for a period of time, Roth's parents were instantly enlightened.
In the next few days, Ross took Jiujiu around to have fun. When he heard that Jiujiu was going to settle down in England, he asked a friend to help Jiujiu buy a house near his home.
Jiujiu had money, so the procedures were quickly completed.
