Chapter 172 My Dead Husband Came Back to Cling To Me 23
The next morning, Ni Qing rushed to the head office. Sure enough, she saw A Yue, who was an intern assistant. A Yue smiled slightly at her, but her expression was somewhat indifferent.
If they were to meet at the company, especially someone like him who tattles on others, it would be best for both sides to pretend they didn't know each other. Ni Qing understood this concept as well, and coldly walked away to her private office on the top floor.
The vice president and his colleagues hurriedly stepped forward, saying awkwardly, "What brings you to the company today?"
She glanced at them, increasingly suspicious: "What? So what if you're here? Why are you in such a panic?"
The president belatedly emerged from the inner room, and the expressions on the faces of the several executives were rather unnatural.
Ni Qing, wearing bright red lipstick, sat casually on the guest sofa.
"Give me the account books for the past few months, and bring all the signed contracts and orders as well," she said.
The higher-ups exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding why she suddenly wanted to check the accounts. She was a lazybones who avoided coming to the company whenever possible, so why was she suddenly so proactive today?
Fortunately, they were prepared.
The group nodded calmly and instructed the people outside to bring in the documents. Soon, the account books for the past few months appeared on the desk.
Ni Qing frowned as she flipped through a few pages. The documents all seemed normal, as were the monthly incomes. Even the breaches of contracts were attributed to problems on the other end. Was A-Yue lying to her?
But what's the point? After all, they don't even know each other.
The male protagonist also failed to appear for a long time, which made her waiting to die very slow.
Ni Qing pretended to flip through a few pages, knowing full well that she wouldn't find anything today, so she gave up. Not long after, she impatiently closed the ledger, looking a bit annoyed: "Alright, I'm not looking anymore. Are there any documents that need to be signed? I can sign them and then leave."
The higher-ups were secretly delighted and quickly brought over all the recent documents. Half an hour had passed since she signed them with a blank expression.
"Alright, get back to work. I have to go now." She stood up, hurried out of the office, and took the private elevator downstairs.
A-Yue sat at his desk and glanced at her slightly. Ni Qing rolled her eyes at him, clearly indicating that her efforts had been in vain, as if blaming him for spreading false information.
The boy paused slightly, lowered his head in disappointment, and remained silent. In the other person's eyes, this was probably a sign of guilt. However, although A-Yue kept his head down, a mad smile was suppressed and restrained on his lips hidden in the darkness.
So stupid.
Ni Qing was unaware that she had been labeled, but if he wanted to play this game, then so be it.
The fox's tail will always be revealed.
She turned her back to A-Yue and walked towards the door, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.
She thought Ah Yue would disappear for several days, but that night, she saw the uninvited boy again. Ni Qing feigned anger: "You actually dared to come again? Why did you lie to me?"
The boy didn't smile; he looked pitiful. "I didn't lie to you. They must have been prepared. You should go again next time..."
Before he could even speak, he was ruthlessly interrupted: "I went there today as a surprise attack, how come you were prepared beforehand? Ah Yue, you're not playing me for a fool, are you?"
Yes, I want to play with you.
The darkness within the boy grew wildly like weeds, and his mind kept repeating the same answer: "I really, really want to." But now is not the time.
He could only look away with little interest.
Ni Qing looked at him coldly: "Go back and tell your grandfather that you don't need to come here anymore." The initial politeness had now turned into a confrontation.
She was like a chess piece, every move she made was part of the opponent's carefully calculated plan.
Ah Yue, with his rebellious nature, refused to leave, which infuriated her once again. She decided to ignore him, grabbed her bathrobe, and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
There was no sound outside the room; the other person seemed to have left. Ni Qing listened for a while before lazily lying down on the bed.
The hour hand of the old-fashioned clock ticked slowly and rhythmically, unusually quietly.
Ni Qing, who had just been in a deep sleep, silently opened her eyes. She was still wearing a bathrobe and stiffly and woodenly slippers as she walked step by step down the stairs to the top floor.
She was being controlled again, Ni Qing clearly sensed. This time, was it some kind of sleepwalking method?
Her skin was as white as snow, her black hair hung loosely to her waist, and her lips were red and her teeth were white, making her look exceptionally refined.
Ni Qing walked step by step to the top floor, opened the balcony door, mechanically climbed over the railing, and stood on the suspended outer edge.
Just then, she regained control of her body.
"Was it the male lead who did it? If so, then I accidentally fell from the building," Ni Qing asked excitedly.
System 103: "You really understand the word 'accident' perfectly. To be honest, it was indeed the male lead who did it, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of killing you."
Ni Qing looked down in panic, gripping the railing tightly with both hands. Because she was wearing slippers, she couldn't find a foothold to climb over.
The cold wind kept blowing into her clothes, making her shiver.
She had already pushed herself to the limit by rolling over; now her whole body was limp and she had no strength left. After a long stalemate, she finally decided to let go.
Her hands slipped off the railing, and she began to fall uncontrollably. Just then, a pale hand grabbed her wrist.
They left her on the outside.
She looked up and saw A-Yue, who had appeared there at some point.
The other person seemed panicked and confused, not understanding why she wanted to jump. Ni Qing silently cursed repeatedly in her heart, "You can't pull me away, you can't pull me away..."
The young man easily pulled her up.
She seemed terrified, her body shrinking back, her eyes darting around, kneeling stiffly on the ground. Ah Yue tilted his head: "Madam, why do you want to jump? Are you missing your husband?"
The other person was pale and dazed as he looked at him slowly and said, "Was I going to jump off the building? I don't know, I was sleeping the whole time... and when I opened my eyes I was already here."
The boy pursed his lips and suddenly took it upon himself to hug her, his chin casually resting on her shoulder. Even though he was in the prime of his youth, his height and build were far inferior to Ni Qing's.
She looked exceptionally petite.
Ni Qing: "?"
Why resort to violence when we can just talk things out?
