Song Nian took a step back and said, “I’m just here to watch.”
The man beside her reached out and took over the skewer, “Sure, I’ll make one for you.”
Song Nian turned to look at him, “Oh, I haven’t gotten your name yet.”
The man smiled, “Shen Cong, my name is Shen Cong. Sorry about what I said before. I hope you don’t mind.”
Song Nian knew that he was talking about how he claimed to be her boyfriend. She shook her head, “It’s okay.” No one would believe that anyway.
Zheng Chengyang sat in his seat and kept his eyes on Song Nian and Shen Cong. After a while, he moved closer to Qi Yu, “Boss, look at Madam…”
Qi Yu looked at him expressionlessly, and Zheng Chengyang immediately corrected himself, “Look at Song Nian, she’s flirting around!”
Song Nian, who Zheng Chengyang said was flirting around, was now quietly standing beside Shen Cong and watching him barbecue. Her eyes did not move as if she was in a daze.
Qi Yu glanced toward the bonfire, and Zheng Chengyang’s rueful words rang in his ears, “But Song Nian is really pretty. Just by standing there, she outclassed the people around her.”
Qi Yu unhurriedly touched his wine glass. Everyone acknowledged that Song Nian was good-looking. Back then, when the old man forced him to marry Song Nian, his mother persuaded him by saying, “At least this girl is pretty. The children you’ll have with her wouldn’t be too bad either.”
At that time, it seemed that the only good thing about Song Nian was her good looks. Now, Song Nian was wearing a black floral dress. Her fishbone braids were obediently hanging on her collarbone. She stood there, and the people around her instantly faded into the background.
The way she looked right now was as if she was still an unmarried young lady.
Zheng Chengyang stared at her for a while and sighed from the bottom of his heart, “Boss, why don’t you like such a pretty young lady?”
Qi Yu looked at Song Nian, then retracted his gaze and said in a straight voice, “It’s nothing but appearance.”
Zheng Chengyang was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head awkwardly. Well, Song Nian really didn’t have anything else besides her good looks. Her family background wasn’t good, and she didn’t graduate from a famous university. Before she married Qi Yu, she didn’t even have a decent job.
Therefore, when the news of her marrying Qi Yu spread, many people didn’t believe it. Any one of the girls going after Qi Yu was better than Song Nian. Who would have thought that someone like Song Nian eventually married Qi Yu?
Zheng Chengyang lowered his head and looked at the sand under his feet, not knowing what to say.
The woman beside Qi Yu didn’t hear their conversation. She looked around and then moved closer to Qi Yu, “Mr. Qi, it’s quite boring sitting here. Do you want to take a look around?”
Qi Yu thought for a moment and nodded, “Okay.”
Qi Yu’s business partners sent this woman, so it seemed like she had other intentions. However, Qi Yu did not really care. He only came to Hainan this time to talk about business.
The woman stood up happily and followed Qi Yu along the beach. Zheng Chengyang followed closely behind. It was apparent that this woman had covert intentions toward Qi Yu. Her eyes were so fiery that they were about to tear off his boss’s clothes.
He did not like this woman. At least up until now, Song Nian was the only person he could identify as the lady boss.
As they walked along the beach, Qi Yu talked about the business. The woman covered her mouth and teased, “I’ve always heard that Mr. Qi is a workaholic. I didn’t really believe it. But now that I’ve finally seen it, Mr. Qi doesn’t forget to talk about work even though it’s such a good opportunity to unwind.”
Qi Yu smiled, “I wouldn’t have been here if it wasn’t for work.”
The woman’s expression froze, then she laughed again. She personally invited Qi Yu out at night. At that time, Qi Yu agreed very readily. She thought that the two of them had an unspoken understanding to have some fun tonight, but she didn’t expect that all that was in this man’s mind was actually work.
However, her intention wasn’t to talk about work.
The more the two of them walked forward, the fewer people there were. Zheng Chengyang gritted his teeth and followed behind them. At the same time, he took out his phone and nagged Song Nian on Wechat, saying that she didn’t seize the opportunity. It wasn’t easy to meet Qi Yu in such a romantic place. How could she be so easily fooled by another man!
After Song Nian finished reading the message, she deleted it. Coincidentally, Shen Cong had also finished roasting the skewers. Song Nian smiled and took it, “Thank you.”
Shen Cong took some refreshing juice and handed it to Song Nian. He asked, “Do you know those people?”
Song Nian was stunned, “Why do you say that?”
Shen Cong scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, “It’s just a strange feeling. The way they looked at you was odd.”
Song Nian held the juice in his hand and said after a while, “No, I don’t know them.. How would I know those people?”
