Chapter 331: Chapter 193: Qin Qin vs Jing Zhiyue_7

Jiang Qingtian forced a bitter smile, masking the longing in his eyes, "Can we talk for a bit?"

He had wanted to ask her out to eat, but fearing rejection, Jiang Qingtian settled for asking for a talk, hoping Qin Qin wouldn’t turn him down.

"What do you want to talk about?" Qin Qin stood still, facing Jiang Qingtian and said.

"Have you been well recently?" Jiang Qingtian looked deeply into Qin Qin’s eyes, his voice hoarse as he asked. He didn’t know what else to say; it seemed as though the happiness they once shared had been distilled into this one question, a single line marking their estrangement.

"Very well!"

Jiang Qingtian nodded with difficulty, "That’s good, Qin Qin... can we still be friends?"

Qin Qin fell silent, lifting her gaze to Jiang Qingtian, "Jiang Qingtian, I do consider you a friend, but we can only be normal friends. I don’t want to be warned by your parents for getting too close to you, nor do I want anyone to misunderstand."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingtian took a step back, his expression filled with pain and sorrow, "I’m sorry!"

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now!" Qin Qin said, unwilling to look at the agony in Jiang Qingtian’s eyes.

She passed by Jiang Qingtian, preparing to leave.

"Tomorrow is Mu Che’s engagement party, could you be my date, just as a normal friend?"

Jiang Qingtian’s voice came from behind her, carrying a hint of hope.

"Sorry." Qin Qin spoke and quickly walked away.

Behind her, Jiang Qingtian stood as if petrified, looking up at the sky. He knew this would be her answer, yet he couldn’t help but ask. He had so wished to hear her say yes.

Qin Qin took a taxi to the airport, ready to surprise Mo Yunchen upon his arrival.

However, Mo Yunchen’s plane wouldn’t land for another hour, so she had no choice but to wait in the departure hall. She had already called, asking Mo Yunchen to contact her as soon as he disembarked, so there was no fear of missing him.

She took out her phone and browsed through some news, where one headline about Jing Zhimei caught her attention.

The news, aside from text, included several pictures. They were not very clear. There was Jing Zhimei being scolded, another showing Jing Zhimei standing with a difficult expression, and one with Jing Zhimei and Qin Qin looking at each other, but Qin Qin’s back was to the camera, revealing only Jing Zhimei’s face.

"Who is this Jing Zhimei? A miracle healer?"

"You’re not from Jingdu City, are you? How can you not know Jing Zhimei? She’s the daughter of Jing Family, one of the Four Top-tier Aristocratic Families in Jingdu City. She’s known as the miracle healer, the foremost maiden of Jingdu City."

"No way, a miracle healer? She doesn’t seem better than an ordinary girl. I think this ’miracle healer’ reputation is just because others flatter and please her. Her looks are alright, but she doesn’t look so good when angry."

"Everyone says Jing Zhimei has a good temper, and she’s noble and elegant. But these photos suggest otherwise—that Jing Zhimei does not have the good temper they all talk about. Her eyes look like she could devour the girl opposite her."

"I’m more interested in this girl who’s even more impressive than Jing Zhimei, but the photo doesn’t show her face, only a silhouette. However, the figure looks graceful and the posture gives off such a dignified air, surely a girl not inferior to Jing Zhimei."

"Yeah, I noticed that too. I think this girl has such a presence; she feels even more refined than Jing Zhimei."

A group of young people waiting for the plane chatted softly near Qin Qin, who lifted her head to look over, a smile playing on her lips.

If they only knew the person they were discussing was right in front of them, who knows what their reaction would be?

Qin Qin stood up and walked toward the not too distant boarding area; the plane was nearly there, and it was about time for her to pick someone up.
