GTGV Chapter 55.6

Ning Chuchu glanced at the dark sky outside and chuckled, “It’s too late today. I’ll treat you to dinner another day.”

After a while, Xie Jinqiu’s calm and gentle voice came from the phone, “Fortunately, I just got off work.”

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She twitched her mouth and asked speechlessly. “Then… eat together now?”

“Well, I’ll be there soon.”

Ning Chuchu: “…”

Haha, that’s right. The restaurant had been booked by him, so he didn’t even need to ask where to eat. Maybe Xie Jinqiu could get there before her.

Ning Chuchu sighed faintly. Xie Jinqiu suddenly put down his high and noble attitude, which really made her a little overwhelmed, especially at the critical moment when she was struggling with this marriage.

Things have come to this point, so Ning Chuchu can only bite the bullet and deal with it. After all, she has to shoot “Hunter” and deal with Yun Shu’s affairs at the same time, so she really has no time to think about anything else.

Once Xie Jinqiu cares about certain people and things, his thoughtfulness and consideration are reflected in every aspect.

The restaurant he booked was very close to the place where Ning Chuchu and Hongwu met, less than ten minutes’ drive away. He obviously took Ning Chuchu’s health into consideration.

Soon, Ning Chuchu met Xie Jinqiu in this restaurant.

Xie Jinqiu was neither overly enthusiastic nor attentive, but no longer as cold as before. He stood up and helped Ning Chuchu pull out the chair, behaving in a gentlemanly and polite manner.

This time, Ning Chuchu’s attitude naturally changed subtly.

Xie Jinqiu observed his fiancée in front of him calmly, and suddenly, he couldn’t remember what she looked like before.

The calm, outgoing, and radiant Ning Chuchu now is the real her.

Ning Chuchu was no longer as warm and enthusiastic toward Xie Jinqiu as before, and although Xie Jinqiu wanted to get along well with her, he really didn’t know how to communicate with his fiancée.

Without Ning Chuchu’s initiative to talk, the two of them were very quiet when they were eating.

Fortunately, Ning Chuchu’s attitude was casual and unrestrained, so it didn’t seem awkward. Instead, there was a sense of quiet warmth.

As the meal was almost over, Xie Jinqiu felt torn between his conscience and his desires. He had never been so conflicted when handling official business.

For him, his fiancée has become the most difficult problem that needs to be treated with the most care.

This feeling is very unfamiliar to him, but unexpectedly not bad.

Xie Jinqiu sorted out his words in his mind and asked calmly, “Do you need me to accompany you to Yun Shu’s birthday party later?”

Even if he didn’t deliberately inquire about anything, he could guess that Ning Chuchu was planning to expose her directly at Yun Shu’s birthday party.

Ning Chuchu was slightly startled when she heard this. Then she almost didn’t hesitate and said directly, “No, I can handle it myself.”

Xie Jinqiu’s expression did not change. He nodded lightly, “Okay.”

Ning Chuchu didn’t care and continued to eat with her head down. She was really hungry.

But at this moment, the system suddenly popped up: [Host, you have grown up again!]

Ning Chuchu’s hand that was scooping the soup paused imperceptibly. She lowered her head and drank the soup as if nothing had happened.

She responded in her heart: “What growth?”

The mechanical voice of the system actually revealed a sense of vicissitudes of life.

[Don’t you remember? Last time, when you took the evidence of Yun Shu’s transfer of assets to hammer her in person, you especially called Xie Jinqiu! This time, you can hammer Yun Shu independently, which is obvious progress!]

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She lowered her head to cover the corners of her mouth that twitched slightly.

She said speechlessly, “It’s just because this incident involved my mother and some very dirty things more than ten years ago. I don’t want to expose the family scandal in front of Xie Jinqiu.”

However…

After habitually scolding the system, Ning Chuchu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

In a sense, she has indeed grown up.
