Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 118 Inappropriate

It took a lot of persuasion to dispel Tian Xiang's concerns and good intentions. After all, she knew that Yan Bin's group was doomed, and Tang Tian alone could not cause much trouble.
No sooner had Yan Bin gone in than someone else, even more eager than herself, was ready to take action against her.

It is said that Tang Tian, ​​who relies on the power of Yan Bin of the Yan family and is arrogant and do not know how to restrain herself, has offended many people.

Just the fact that Qin Jianjun was following her around with ulterior motives, wagging his tail, would probably give her a hard time.

After picking up Xiao Yuanquan from the courtyard, I chatted with Zhang's mother and Mao's mother, who had also been worried about me all night. I coaxed them into laughing heartily before returning to my own courtyard.

It was getting late, and without even having time to rest, I changed my clothes, took out Xiao Yuanquan's lunch from my spatial storage, and rushed off to work at the factory.

As expected, after a morning of fermentation, those with good connections all knew about the great upheaval that affected most of the ancient city, including upper-class families and high-ranking officials.

When one person can't help but confide in a close friend about it, it's as if everyone knows; the speed at which gossip spreads should never be underestimated.

After listening to the conversation all the way from the office to the cafeteria, Su Ning, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, suddenly perked up and, in a rare good mood, ordered an extra meat dish from her lunchbox.

Especially when he saw Tang Tian's expression change drastically and her rushing out of the cafeteria in a panic, his good mood immediately increased several times over.

The radiant smile on her face made everyone who was secretly watching her momentarily stunned and their hearts race.

"Officer Su!"

Before he could even take a couple of bites of his food, a familiar voice called out beside him. He looked up and, sure enough, it was Qiao Yuan.

Thinking back to his bravery last night, although it didn't seem like he offered any real help, he actually distracted the group so she could take them down.

Therefore, she could no longer be as indifferent as before, and her feelings towards Qiao Yuan changed significantly.

He may seem carefree, slick, and unreliable, but his willingness to stand up for what's right shows that he's not a bad person at heart.

"Comrade Qiao hasn't thanked you yet. Are you feeling alright?"

"Ah, no...it's nothing, the doctor said I'm very strong!"

Is she showing concern for herself?
Seeing that Su Ning's smile did not diminish because of him, and that he even spoke to him in a rare, gentle tone.

Qiao Yuan was as happy as a fool weighing over 100 pounds. He usually dared to openly contradict his father and speak loudly, but now he acted like a shy and bashful young wife meeting her in-laws for the first time.

Even Chen Baishi, who was standing next to him, almost couldn't bear to watch and had to clench his fist and cough forcefully, "Cough~"

"Um, Su, are you alright? Your face looks..."

"I accidentally scraped it when I got off the car; it'll be fine in a couple of days."

"Those people really need to be taught a lesson, Su Ning... Don't worry, Director Su, I won't let them or the person behind them get away with it!"

Did they think that once they were in there, they could relax and easily find someone to pull strings and get them released?
dream!

He spat inwardly in resentment, then looked at her confidently, "I guarantee they won't dare show their faces in front of you a second time."

He could only give an awkward but polite smile and then bury his head in his food. Deep down, Su Ning hadn't really been worried about this at all.

He carefully pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her. Qiao Yuan patiently waited for her to finish eating first, silently rehearsing what he was going to say later.

Chen Baishi was also very perceptive. He silently sat down at the next table, keeping a respectful distance, and subtly warned the restless people around him with his eyes.

This immediately caused all the male compatriots, whether they had any ulterior motives or not, to turn their heads away and inwardly curse.

It's really hard to find someone to surround Su Da Meiren with. She's surrounded by the stern-faced Zhang Ze, followed by the fly-swatting expert Fu Jiaming, and in between, the stubborn and domineering Qiao Yuan.

It's so difficult, so incredibly difficult!

Su Ning was oblivious to the sighs and lamentations of those around her. All she knew was that being stared at so intently with such burning gazes felt like it could scorch her at any moment.

Helplessly, he stopped what he was doing, swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked, "Comrade Qiao, is there anything else?"

"Hehe, Secretary Su, I'd like to say a few words to you."

"You said."

Putting down her chopsticks, Su Ning looked up at the person opposite her, her expression serious and without a trace of perfunctoriness.

Clearing his throat, Qiao Yuan nervously rubbed his trouser leg, wiping away the sticky sweat from his palms.

"My name is Qiao Yuan, Yuan as in tranquility and far-reaching vision. I am an only child and have an older sister named Qiao Jing."

I'm 21 years old, a high school graduate, and a level-three electrician in the first production workshop of a textile factory. My salary is 48 yuan a month. My dad is Joe…”

"Stop, wait a moment."

The more I listen, the more something seems off.

Forced to interrupt his long-winded speech, Su Ning looked at the man who was trying to sit up straight with a puzzled expression. "Comrade Qiao, why are you telling me all this?"

"Su Ning, I like you. I want to date you with marriage in mind. Will you agree?"

Finally, Qiao Yuan managed to say those words. He didn't dare to breathe, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush to his head, making his face hot and red, almost hot enough to cook an egg.

She had no shortage of admirers at school, but students are generally reserved, and the boldest of them would only secretly slip various cryptic letters into her bag.

This was the first time she had ever been so formally and directly expressed her desire to be in a relationship, leaving her momentarily stunned.

As the person opposite him grew increasingly uneasy, a fine layer of sweat appeared on their forehead, and Su Ning remained silent for several minutes before slowly speaking.

"First of all, thank you for your kind words, Comrade Qiao, but I'm sorry, we're not a good match."

The blush on his face faded quickly and visibly. Although he had expected her to refuse most of the time, Qiao Yuan still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when the time came.

After calming down, he rallied and pressed on with more questions.

"What do you think is wrong? Or what do you dislike or are dissatisfied with about me? I can change it!"

"It's not that problem, it's that I don't have those feelings for you. Shouldn't a relationship be based on mutual affection?"

People around him always say that men with good looks, a good salary, and a good family background have an easy time finding a partner. Is it true that everyone who says that about him is right?
Mutual affection is certainly better, but isn't it enough not to dislike or resent him? Feelings can be cultivated slowly after marriage, right?

"Su..."

"Excuse me, Comrade Qiao, I have to go now."

He stood up decisively and closed the lunchbox. Suning disliked dragging things out and didn't want to get entangled with him any further on this matter.

Ignoring the person who looked like they were about to cry, they simply turned and left.

She can't control what he thinks, but there's no reason for her to make things difficult for herself just to avoid upsetting others.

She hadn't experienced much about relationships and didn't really understand them, but she knew that liking someone meant liking them and disliking someone meant disliking them. She couldn't do something like that classmate who didn't like her but didn't reject her advances.

"Brother Qiao? Are you... are you alright?"

Having overheard their entire conversation, Chen Baishi watched their departing figures, then moved closer to him and cautiously asked, "Brother Qiao?"

I glanced at his reddened eyes, then turned to look at the people around me who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, afraid that I might accidentally offend him and have to clean up the mess again.

Chen Baishi had to carefully choose his words before offering words of comfort, saying, "Su Ning, she..."

"Alright, shut up."

Alright, he'd better not say anything.

He made a shushing gesture with his hand, and Chen Baishi reluctantly swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Time passed minute by minute, and the person who had maintained that listless expression for so long finally recovered, stood up, and slammed his fist on the table.

Qiao Yuan stared at the cafeteria entrance, where she was no longer there, but the flame that had reignited in his eyes was more intense than ever before, carrying a hint of imperceptible madness.

"So what if they refuse? Ha, I refuse to believe it!"

He'll just be prepared to be rejected a hundred times; even a strong woman isn't afraid of a persistent suitor!

Maybe she'll be moved by her sincerity in less than a hundred tries? Didn't that's how the old man won her heart? He could do it too!

Right, that is it!

"Come on, what are you standing there for?"

"Where are we going, Brother Qiao?"

"..."
