Chapter 656: Chapter 656 Are you avoiding me? _1
Inside, she felt lost and gloomy.
She wasn’t a fool; she could sense that Chai Xiyang didn’t like her very much, or at least, he didn’t love her.
In the past five years, the most he had done was hug her. Not even a single kiss.
He was like a pure-hearted man, talking about affection but without mentioning love. It made the innocent Lin Xinxin embarrassed to make any radical moves.
At first, she didn’t mind his behavior. But slowly, she began to feel that something was off…
Yet, they had established this pattern of interaction, and she couldn’t find an excuse to break it.
Moreover, she was not the type to take the initiative…
Initially, she thought that Chai Xiyang didn’t want to overstep any boundaries before marriage.
She also thought they were destined to get married.
But now, she felt everything was just her imagination.
Embracing such thoughts before had led to a crushing defeat. Dongfang Yu had zero interest in her, to the point where he wouldn’t even spare her a second glance.
Was it possible that she was mistaken again? Could Qiao Ning also become a threat to her relationship?
Thinking about all these, Lin Xinxin had lost her appetite.
Chai Xiyang also wasn’t in the mood, so the two of them quickly finished their meal and returned to their respective workplaces.
But Qiao Ning was busy, busy printing scripts and other materials.
She was so busy she didn’t even have time to eat lunch.
Only when a screenwriter brought her a piece of bread, did she take a few bites.
But even the bread, she didn’t have time to eat. She kept it in her mouth while she continued working on the materials.
Chai Xiyang, after having a meal, felt like visiting the film crew’s floor.
When he emerged from the elevator, he saw Qiao Ning in the adjacent printing room, bustling around with a piece of bread in her mouth.
Qiao Ning also saw him, but at the same time, she dropped the bread from her mouth onto the floor!
She was startled!
Quickly picking it up and brushing off the dust, Qiao Ning was about to continue eating when Chai Xiyang, striding to the door, said coldly, “Is the company abusing you? Making you so busy you don’t even have time to eat?”
This was their first conversation since that night.
Qiao Ning didn’t look at him, and replied nonchalantly, “It’s my own work, and I’m not hungry.”
“If you’re not hungry then why are you eating?” Chai Xiyang couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic remark the moment he opened his mouth.
Qiao Ning was growing more and more irritated with him. He always spoke with so much concealed hostility.
She picked up a stack of printed materials, turned around, and left without paying him any mind.
Just as she stepped outside, her arm was suddenly seized by Chai Xiyang—
Qiao Ning’s heart gave a leap, and she instinctively became defensive, “What are you doing?”
Chai Xiyang moved closer to her with half-closed eyes. His breath was shadowy, and somewhat warm.
“Are you avoiding me?” he asked in a low voice.
Qiao Ning wasn’t sure if it was her misunderstanding, but she felt as if his gaze was intentionally or unintentionally brushing past her lips!
She thought of his actions that night as well as his humiliation, and immediately became upset.
“Who is avoiding you? Let go, I need to work!” She broke free from his hand, turned around, and hastily left, only to bump into Chen Shuinan who had just arrived.
“Ah…” Qiao Ning staggered, almost about to fall.
“Careful!” Chen Shuinan quickly grabbed her wrist, stabilizing her body, but all the documents scattered onto the floor.
“Director Chen, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean it!” Qiao Ning was in such a hurry to apologize, she didn’t even bother about the scattered documents.
Chen Shuinan indifferently said, “It’s okay.”
After saying this, he squatted down to pick up the documents and Qiao Ning, flustered, followed suit, “Director Chen, I can do it, you don’t need to trouble yourself…”
