Even as she explained, receiving no response from Fu Siye, Nan Shiqing still nervously pinched her palm.
Nan Shiqing was in Country E and knew he was there.
At that time, they were both at the Elixir Banquet, but Nan Shiqing still had no intention of confessing to him. Now, he recalled the words Mu Yinyin had just spoken.
The second son of the Traffic Bureau, Lu Shan was her contact person, and behind her, there were people of even higher status.
"Shiqing, the design draft incident has affected your series. The people around you, and those you're in contact with, you still need to be more vigilant now."
Fu Siye pursed his lips and still reminded Nan Shiqing.
He didn't have to say these things, but Nan Shiqing was his savior, and she was easily influenced. He didn't want to see Nan Shiqing being harmed miserably.
When Nan Shiqing heard this, she was extremely shocked.
She didn't understand why Fu Siye would suddenly remind her of such things.
But then again, Fu Siye was likely giving her this reminder because of the impact of the livestream and the press conference.
She didn't overthink it. "Siye, don't worry. A fall teaches you to be wiser. I won't contact those with ulterior motives who want to use me again."
Her voice was so gentle.
But Fu Siye's mind kept replaying Mu Yinyin's words, as well as the surveillance footage he had seen and Lu Shan's information.
"Siye, when are you going back? You and Sister..."
Nan Shiqing asked tentatively, even more cautiously, not daring to be negligent.
"Does my returning or not have anything to do with what you're doing? Shiqing, are you hiding something from me?"
Fu Siye pursed his lips and asked directly, but not too directly, wanting to see if Nan Shiqing would confess to him.
This scared Nan Shiqing, who quickly explained, "No, how could I hide anything from you? I went out to meet a friend to discuss cooperation. After the cooperation was finalized, I returned. Siye, I asked when you were coming back because I missed you..."
As she spoke, Nan Shiqing's voice became hoarse, tinged with a hint of grievance.
She even took a breath. "Siye, when are we going to try on wedding dresses?"
She hadn't forgotten Fu Siye's words about marrying her. Originally, she couldn't rush it, or she would seem too eager.
But Fu Siye had been divorced from Mu Yinyin for some time, and during this period, Fu Siye had never mentioned trying on wedding dresses.
She was afraid, afraid something had changed.
"Grandmother still needs some time." Fu Siye pursed his lips. The moment he heard her say she was meeting a friend to discuss cooperation, his suspicion ceased.
But regarding the wedding dresses, Grandmother had explicitly stated several times that if Grandmother wasn't appeased, taking wedding photos would be in vain.
Moreover...
The matter of marrying her...
Fu Siye's gaze deepened, and he ceased his contemplation.
Nan Shiqing gritted her teeth, her heart filled with unwillingness.
Ever since Mu Yinyin changed, he had changed!
Now he was using these excuses!
How come Mu Yinyin didn't need to go through his grandmother to marry him?
Now it was her turn, one unwilling, the other unwilling.
So she was angry. How could such an old immortal not die yet?
But she could never reveal such resentment to Fu Siye.
She could only pretend to be gentle and lovely, "Siye, it doesn't matter if Grandmother and Grandfather don't like me. After all, I'm not made of money. But I will also slowly get better and make them like me."
She couldn't appear too eager in front of Fu Siye. However, Mu Yinyin's entanglement with him now made her very scared.
Look, Fu Siye was already with Mu Yinyin.
That phone call was a reminder to her.
Fu Siye's eyes deepened slightly, "Didn't you always want me to remarry your sister?"
Nan Shiqing's heart skipped a beat!
He...!
How could he ask such a thing!
In the past, when she said this, Fu Siye would frown and tell her that he would have nothing to do with that bitch Mu Yinyin. But today... she had just changed her approach slightly, and he asked her such a thing?
Did he think she was faking it all along?!
But she really couldn't pretend anymore, because the current Fu Siye was making her a little flustered. If she couldn't keep this man in her grasp, she would always feel like Fu Siye had no real connection with her, only the label of a savior.
She was unwilling.
She sighed softly before speaking, "Before, I thought you had a chance. But after you separated, Sister's love for you completely disappeared. She also explicitly told me many times not to meddle, not to stir up trouble for you, and even said you..."
At this point, Nan Shiqing suddenly took a timid breath, as if she dared not speak.
Fu Siye's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "What did she say."
"Nothing... she didn't say anything."
If Fu Siye were present, he would definitely see Nan Shiqing's eyes flickering, of course, this was all Nan Shiqing deliberately putting on a show. Even her voice was intermittent, clearly showing a guilty conscience.
"Say it." Fu Siye was losing patience.
Nan Shiqing quickly said, "Siye, no, it's not what you think. Sister, Sister didn't say anything. She meant she doesn't love you anymore and has no intention of remarrying. She meant she doesn't want to waste her time and energy on you... ah no, she doesn't want to waste it on romance."
Fu Siye's eyes seemed to darken even more, and his gaze fell into the distance, as if searching for her figure.
"Siye, you, please don't misunderstand Sister. I, I was only because of this, I felt you both didn't love each other, that's why I brought up the earlier, the earlier... Siye, will you blame me for being greedy?" Nan Shiqing's voice became weaker towards the end, but it was filled with panic and self-reproach.
Fu Siye's gaze moved, and he finally said faintly, "No."
Nan Shiqing then seemed relieved, "That's good... Thank you, Siye."
Although she said this, Nan Shiqing was extremely agitated internally. She clearly wanted to ask about the wedding schedule by asking when they would take wedding photos, but he not only didn't answer, but he also kept focusing on what Mu Yinyin had said. Even though she had tried to sow discord earlier, she still felt that her efforts were useless and might even have backfired, because she always felt that Fu Siye had developed an extra layer of attention towards Mu Yinyin!
Wouldn't letting Fu Siye know that Mu Yinyin no longer loved him instead ignite his competitive spirit?
Nan Shiqing's complexion visibly paled, but now she dared not mention Mu Yinyin again.
