[R18] Provoke (1V1H) – “Provocation (1V1H)” Chapter 133 Admiration [English]

The innocence on her face almost made Qin Qing feel that she was overthinking it. She smiled slightly and said, “So you want to tell me that you didn’t pay attention before, so it’s not surprising at all?”

Li Xiaonan saw that Qin Qing didn’t trust him, and his face sank slightly. He looked at Qin Qing with dissatisfaction and sadness about being suspected, and said disappointedly: “Qingqing, I didn’t expect you to doubt me! I thought we were already good friends.”

She paused and asked angrily: “Okay, even if I lie to you, what good will it do to me?”

Qin Qing silently praised Li Xiaonan’s acting skills, and then said with a half-smile: “Aren’t you trying to use my relationship to get close to Gu Shaoming?”

Li Xiaonan looked like he had heard something ridiculous and laughed loudly: “Qingqing, are you sick and stupid? Are you so open-minded? I know that the president is very good and there are many women who admire him. This also makes you very insecure, but you can’t doubt me because of this.”

She said with an understanding and tolerant smile on her face, as if she believed that Qin Qing just doubted the people around him because he felt insecure. If someone heard this, they might think that Qin Qing was suspicious of his friends, but Li Xiaonan was tolerant and did not care.

Qin Qing immediately understood this meaning and glanced around almost subconsciously, but saw no trace of anyone.

So did she really mean these words, or was she already used to pretending?

“Li Xiaonan, it doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it, but I still want to thank you.” Qin Qing said with a gentle face and a hint of sincere gratitude, “When I almost fell down the stairs a few days ago, if you hadn’t subconsciously grabbed me, I might not be able to talk to you here now.”

Li Xiaonan seemed a little helpless at Qin Qing’s stubbornness. She put her forehead on her forehead and sighed, waving her hand and saying: “I was right next to you, and I definitely wanted to catch you. It would have been the same for you, and you are my best friend. You don’t need to say thank you to me.”

“You’re right, but I still want to thank you.” Qin Qing paused, and his voice suddenly softened, “Even though you let me go in the end.”

Li Xiaonan’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly, her pupils shrank sharply, and panic flashed across her eyes for a moment.

Qin Qing found out!

This thought appeared in her mind, making her at a loss for a moment, and her brain was working hard to think of appropriate countermeasures.

She controlled the expression on her face, forced a smile and said, “Qingqing, what do you mean? Are you blaming me for not holding you back?”

“You know that’s not what I meant.” Qin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, “I’m just sincerely thanking you.”

She thanked Li Xiaonan for extending a helping hand to her without having time to think, but it was the seemingly powerless letting go that made her completely sure of her evil intentions.

Li Xiaonan tried his best to adjust his emotions and explained anxiously: “Qingqing, the reason why I couldn’t hold you back was because the incident happened suddenly. I had no time to react and had to subconsciously pull you. I desperately wanted to hold you, but I couldn’t. You don’t know how scared and nervous I was at that time.”

Qin Qing nodded to show that he had heard her explanation, but there was no emotion on his face, “Are you done? If I’m done, I’ll leave first. No matter what, I hope we can return to the same road in the future and don’t provoke each other.”

She believes in her own judgment, so when arguing about her explanations, she has the attitude that you can listen to her, but I won’t believe a word of it.

“Qingqing, why don’t you believe me!” Seeing that Qin Qing’s face did not waver at all, Li Xiaonan couldn’t help asking sadly and angrily, acting like an innocent person who was suspected by his friends.

Qin Qing originally didn’t plan to get entangled anymore, so as to save some face for each other, and it wouldn’t be too difficult to get along with each other when they meet in the future. After all, it seems that she will stay in the company for a long time, and Li Xiaonan is in the secretarial department, so it is easy to meet each other, so it is better to save some face.

This is the principle of keeping a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future.

But Li Xiaonan obviously didn’t want to end it like this. She stopped in front of Qin Qing and insisted that Qin Qing had wrongly blamed her and he had to make it clear to her before he could leave.

Qin Qing was stopped and looked at her with a calm expression, but felt a little unhappy.

She didn’t want to reveal too much, but Li Xiaonan was stubborn, and there was nothing she could do if she didn’t want to reveal it.

“Why do you think I should believe you?” Qin Qing said with a slight sarcasm on his face.

She continued, “Do you think I didn’t notice that you used various methods to slander me in front of other people? You used various means to make people in the company reject me and hate me. I guess you are still pretending to defend me in front of them, and this will only make them think that I am deeply scheming and that you were simply deceived.”

“I didn’t!” Li Xiaonan was shocked and quibbled with a sullen face.

“Do you know it well?” Qin Qing didn’t bother to explain whether there was a problem, and she continued, “Last time, the rich man deliberately seduced me and almost got me into trouble. In fact, I doubted that you were pretending to be drunk. If you were really pretending, then I admire your ability to drink.”

Li Xiaonan opened his mouth slightly to continue his quibbles, but was interrupted by the impatient Qin Qing with a wave of his hand, “Don’t deny it in a hurry. Come back after I finish speaking. But even if you deny it, I won’t believe a word of it, so I personally suggest not to waste your energy.”

Li Xiaonan could only close his mouth with a serious face, a hint of haze flashed across his usually clear eyes, and the hands hanging by his sides slowly clenched into fists.

Qin Qing glanced past her hand and sneered unceremoniously: “I should give you a mirror to see what you look like now. You will know that no matter how much you defend, it will be useless.”

In the face of words and deeds with solid evidence, no matter how eloquent you are, no matter how many explanations you give, they will pale in comparison.

“Also, you use me as an excuse to appear in front of Gu Shaoming from time to time, trying to hook up with you overtly or covertly. Just like when you were in Regal before, I could feel the burning look in your eyes when you looked at Gu Shaoming. No matter how carefully you conceal it, things like feelings will always be incompletely restrained.”

Qin Qing slowly recalled the situation at that time, and suddenly he didn’t know what he thought of. He said jokingly to Li Xiaonan, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: “By the way, you wanted to throw yourself into Gu Shaoming’s arms at that time. You wanted to throw yourself into the arms of a beauty, but it’s a pity…”
