Chapter 73 Arrangement
Chapter 73 Arrangement
Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was extremely solemn, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on people, making it hard to breathe.
Xu Chen gripped the steering wheel tightly, his face tense, the veins on his forehead bulging slightly, revealing his inner tension and anxiety.
Qin Nuo sat quietly in the passenger seat, staring at the scenery passing by outside the window, his eyes revealing an unspeakable sadness.
Bai Nini sat in the back seat, her eyes constantly falling on Qin Nuo, filled with guilt and helplessness. She knew she had hurt Qin Nuo's heart, but she was powerless to change it. She stared out the window silently, praying in her heart that time could turn back and she would never have to cross paths with Qin Nuo.
When the car finally pulled into the Moxiang Company parking lot, Qin Nuo got out without a word and walked straight to the office. Bai Nini followed closely behind him, her heart heavy as she followed Qin Nuo into the office. The silence between them was suffocating, as if the whole world had stopped.
In the end, Bai Nini submitted her resignation. Although she was only working as a summer intern, she still had to complete the resignation procedures according to regulations.
Qin Nuo held the resignation letter tightly in his hand and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he pursed his lips and signed his name.
He stared at Bai Nini's expressionless face and couldn't help but ask, "Nini! Are we still friends?"
"Yes!" Bai Nini responded softly.
"I'm going abroad next month! Can you... please not have a boyfriend for the time being! Wait until I come back!" Qin Nuo felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He knew that if only his parents had intervened, he might have had a chance. However, now that his grandfather had personally intervened, if he continued to insist, Bai Nini would suffer even more pain and distress.
More importantly, Bai Nini had already clearly rejected him, which made Qin Nuo feel extremely lost and helpless.
The corners of Bai Nini's eyes trembled slightly: "Qin Nuo, your request is really too much!"
Qin Nuo slowly lowered his eyes, his voice low and hoarse: "Nini, I always thought you still have some feelings for me. Isn't that right?"
Bai Nini felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but she managed to force a smile: "Qin Nuo, please take care of yourself in the future!"
After saying this, she turned and left resolutely, her steps firm and without the slightest hesitation. She was afraid that if she stayed a moment longer, she would soften her heart and fall into this inseparable emotional entanglement again.
Last night, when Qin Nuo went to look for trouble with Sun Jian, his father Qin Haitian called and pleaded with her in a fatherly tone to leave Qin Nuo, saying that she could name the price.
Although Bai Nini is poor, she will not use money to measure and trade love!
Tears quietly slid down her cheeks, Bai Nini lowered her eyes, silently enduring the pain and helplessness in her heart...
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains onto the bed. Liu Dandan was awakened by the crisp ringing of her cell phone. She picked up the phone, sleepily, and saw Qin Nuo's name on the screen. She felt a little confused, but she answered the call anyway: "Hello, Qin Nuo, what's going on?"
Qin Nuo's low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Future aunt, let's meet."
Liu Dandan agreed, then quickly washed up and headed out. She'd been feeling quite down lately because things hadn't progressed between her and Luo Shujun. She'd begun to doubt her ability to win him over, sometimes even wanting to give up. But when she thought about all the sacrifices she'd made, she felt reluctant.
The two met in a cafe at the entrance of the Normal University. The cafe was elegant and the aroma of coffee filled the air. Qin Nuo sat quietly in a corner, his eyes tired and his face decadent. Liu Dandan walked over to him and sat down, asking with concern: "Qin Nuo, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Nuo took a deep breath and said slowly: "Future aunt, I know you are very distressed now and don't know how to win my uncle. If you are willing to help me take care of Nini, I can give you some advice."
Liu Dandan looked at Qin Nuo and understood his intention. She sighed and said softly, "Then tell me. In exchange, how about letting me help you take care of Nini?"
Qin Nuo nodded and continued, "I bought this cafe. I hope to use your name to invite Bai Nini to work here. This way, she won't have to run around for tuition and living expenses and can concentrate on her studies. Besides, this place is close to school, so it won't affect her studies."
Liu Dandan gracefully extended her slender white fingers and gently stroked the coffee cup. Then she raised her head slightly and parted her rosy lips. "What about you? With you here, does she still need to work so hard here?"
Qin Nuo's eyes gradually became misty, and his voice choked slightly. "She rejected me! Grandpa wants to send me abroad to study. If I don't go, he will personally help me... I even suspect that my father has also looked for Nini. Future aunt, you must help us! When I take charge of Shenghai, I will definitely come back to marry Nini!"
Liu Dandan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Frowning, she asked, "Have you been planning on this from the beginning, wanting me to help you take care of your future wife? Qin Nuo, there are many beautiful women out there. Are you really sure you only want her? She's the only one you want?"
Qin Nuo nodded solemnly, his tone firm and serious: "It has to be her! Just like you did to my uncle, it has to be him!"
Liu Dandan suddenly felt a sense of sympathy. She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Okay! I'll help you!"
Qin Nuo sat by the window, quietly gazing at the bustling crowds and busy streets outside. An inexplicable sadness welled up in his heart, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
He wondered if things would be different when he returned from abroad. He had racked his brains to come up with all possible solutions, but in the end, he could only leave the outcome to fate.
Liu Dandan seemed a little anxious and couldn't help asking, "I've already agreed to help you, so tell me quickly, what should I do? Your uncle is simply a stubborn stone. How can I get into his heart?"
Qin Nuo looked at her, shook his head helplessly and said, "You can't do that! My uncle likes women who are cool, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. And look at you now... Sigh! I heard that you majored in music abroad. Do you have any experience with our country's traditional instruments?"
Liu Dandan hummed softly and answered confidently: "Guzheng, pipa, suona and other instruments are all easy for me to play."
Qin Nuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of smile: "It's a pity that although you are proficient in various musical instruments, you don't have the slightest classical temperament. Why don't you go to a normal university to teach?"
