He frowned slightly, and his eyes, which were originally as cold as ice, stirred up ripples when he met her eyes.
"Like it?"
Mavis nodded and said that none of the feelings were false.
She had never asked for much, it was just that Ning Chengxu could see a little bit of good in her.
Give the contracted marriage at least a year and have more beautiful memories.
The two of them sat across from each other. Ning Chengxu's expression seemed relatively indifferent, showing no special emotion.
Mavis asked cautiously: "Are you... unhappy?"
"No, this is a replenishment date for you."
Ning Chengxu was talking and brought her a piece of steak.
Mavis was happy.
I also followed his example and cut him a piece of steak. "During this period, we have been filled with too much anger towards each other. We stabbed each other with the sharpest knives and forks. Speaking of which...recently...
I was also wrong about that."
"I know my identity well, and I know even more clearly that the one-year marriage agreement is just a deal for you to get what you need. I didn't control my feelings, and I shouldn't have too many extravagant demands."
"I've been quarreling with you a lot lately, and I want to say sorry for that."
Mavis stared at him and spoke seriously.
Ning Chengxu stopped cutting the steak, met her gaze, and quickly lowered his eyes, with a quiet look on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
He remained silent and did not speak.
Mavis continued: "I know you don't like me, and I am not your good match. I am the president of the Ning Group, the powerful person in the Ning family, and I am just a girl who came out of a small mountain village."
If it weren't for Ning Chengxu's marriage agreement, she would never have the chance to be with Ning Chengxu in her life.
I can have her for a short time, and she should be satisfied.
"But the day I picked you up in the fishing village, I saw another girl standing next to you, and she looked very similar to Sister Shengge.
She tightened her hands on the knife and fork and said honestly: "I'm sorry, I can't help but regard her as an imaginary enemy. I know this is wrong, but I..."
Ning Chengxu didn't raise his eyes, and his voice was calm: "You are very good. There is no need to belittle yourself, let alone treat her as an imaginary enemy. She never said she wanted to compete with you. She quite likes you."
Mavis was startled, her face gradually lost color and became bone-white.
Ning Chengxu's words were clear and gentle, but they were like a needle pricking her heart several times.
She bit her lip and couldn't help but ask: "You...have always been in contact?"
Just now, when Ning Chengxu mentioned that girl, she keenly noticed the tenderness in his eyes.
This kind of tenderness was never meant for her.
Looking at the exquisite food on the table and the bouquet of roses, Mavis suddenly felt a little ironic.
No wonder he suddenly changed his temper and suddenly noticed details from the past. I'm afraid the girl taught him these things.
Realizing something, she looked at Ning Chengxu in disbelief, her eyes filled with astonishment.
I see.
What made Ning Chengxu come up with such a comprehensive and complete compensation was another woman's suggestion.
Ning Chengxu didn't pay attention to her expression. He lowered his long eyelashes and raised his hands with dignity and elegance. He concentrated on chewing the exquisite steak and casually said "hmm".
"After all, she saved me. She just cares about me occasionally."
You're obviously already familiar with that girl to a certain extent. Is this called occasional concern?
Mavis held her breath, slowly put down her knife and fork, her face turned pale.
Gifts, flowers, and so-called dates all seemed extremely unfamiliar at the moment.
No matter how well prepared it is, if Ning Chengxu doesn't do it sincerely, what's the point?
She staggered to her feet, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.
"What's wrong?"
Ning Chengxu was confused and looked up at her without knowing why.
