Chapter 2133 - Young Master Tang’s Birthday Party (4)
“I really didn’t mean to. I ordered the ticket not knowing that it’ll be your birthday this weekend…” explained Qin Ning.
“Why don’t you reschedule or cancel? You’re not in that big of a rush, right?” Tang Chuan patiently tried to convince Qin Ning.
“I can’t do that, I already scheduled work at headquarters. I have a board meeting right when I get back. It’s already year-end, so there’s a pile of stuff that I have to take care of…”
“It’s more important than my birthday?” Tang Chuan had a sour feeling in his heart.
Qin Ning didn’t reply…
“Okay, if that’s the case, then I won’t force you. Do whatever…” After sending the message, Tang Chuan threw away his phone and didn’t send any more messages.
Everybody else didn’t dare to speak. Watching the pair’s awkward conversation was strange.
Huo Mian laid her phone down on the nightstand and softly sighed.
“Honey? What’s wrong?” Qin Chu saw her being a bit distressed and immediately approached her, hugging her shoulder.
He put down his notebook and retracted from his work.
“Sweetie, I feel like Mr. Tang is trying to court our Ning-Ning.”
“Mhm, and?” Qin Chu nudged her delicate face.
“Ning-Ning isn’t giving him a chance… I might be overthinking, but I think that she still has feelings for Su Yu…”
“You’re not overthinking. In the beginning, Ning-Ning was a little interested in Su Yu as a result of Pudding and Little Bean playing matchmaker… She’s over it now.”
“She told you about it?” Huo Mian looked at him curiously.
“We had a heart to heart, I guess? Objectively speaking, do you think Ning-Ning and Su Yu make a good couple?” Qin Chu asked Huo Mian.
Huo Mian hesitated for a few seconds and softly said, “I think they make an okay couple. They both have distinct personalities, they’re both successful and workaholics, and they both come from good backgrounds… Ning-Ning grew up in the States, she has an avant-garde mindset, and she wants to be strong and independent… No doubt, she’s charming, it’s just…”
When she said that, Huo Mian paused.
“Keep going…” Qin Chu encouraged.
“It’s just that I don’t think Su Yu can accept her… He’s stubborn. You might get a little jealous hearing this, but I don’t think Su Yu can let me go so easily… He can’t just put down his emotions, he needs time… Right now, the time isn’t right. Maybe in a few years, it would get better… Given the current situation, Su Yu might not agree…” Huo Mian analyzed.
Qin Chu nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I thought about that too, so I urged Ning-Ning to back down… The feelings Su Yu has towards you can’t be let go so easily. Even if it doesn’t seem like it on the surface, deep down, he’s still trapped behind an obstacle… He’s adamant, like me… If he can easily accept other women, he wouldn’t be Su Yu… Even if he can, Ning-Ning won’t be the one. He doesn’t even look at the local celebrities and the daughters of rich families… And most importantly, if he got with Ning-Ning, he has to face us very often… Do you think he’ll ever call you a sister-in-law?”
Huo Mian shook her head…
“So, in my opinion, rather than create opportunities for Su Yu and Ning-Ning, why don’t we let her try it out with Tang Chuan,” Qin Chu suggested.
“Mr. Tang isn’t a bad person, he’s actually a pretty capable person. He isn’t as careless as he looks… But… don’t you think he’s a bit too flirty?” Huo Mian questioned.
