"You should know I don't like people investigating me," Fu Jingshu's voice was icy.
"I'm sorry..."
Ning Su's eyes reddened, and she obediently admitted her mistake.
Shen Qingqing frowned slightly at this scene, and Ning Xin was also surprised.
She had always known her sister was deeply in love with Fu Jingshu, but she never knew she was so well-behaved in front of him!
Where was the arrogant and overbearing sister she knew?
If she had been more sensible back then and hadn't offended so many people, she wouldn't have ended up...
Pain flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head, suppressing her thoughts. With a smile, she said, "Master Fu, although you don't like this, I think your wife might be interested. And it's a bit stuffy for us to talk here. If you don't like this, we can go sit at the golf course."
Ning Su looked at her sister with gratitude.
She knew she was helping her out of a difficult situation.
Fu Jingshu refused outright, "No, I don't like others arranging things for me."
Ning Xin frowned slightly and sighed again. This man was truly stubborn to the bone, never allowing anyone to disrupt his rhythm.
"Forget it, since they invited us, let's go."
A woman's sweet voice came from her ear.
Ning Xin looked up and saw Shen Qingqing holding Fu Jingshu's arm, her alluring eyes gazing at him like water.
Given Fu Jingshu's personality, would he listen?
As soon as this doubt flashed, she heard Fu Jingshu utter a single word, "Okay."
He changed his mind so quickly!
Ning Xin was shocked.
Shen Qingqing smiled, looking charming and beautiful. "Alright, let's go take a look. I haven't played golf in a long time, so I can give it a try."
"Let's go then."
Fu Jingshu had no principles whatsoever; he did whatever his wife said.
Ning Xin glanced at her sister. Ning Su bit her lip, clearly displeased by Fu Jingshu's subservience. Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Ning Xin quickly held her hand.
The group walked out and headed towards the back garden on the first floor of the clubhouse.
The setting of this back garden was very interesting. On the left was a vast sea of flowers, with extremely beautiful scenery, and the fragrance of flowers could be smelled from afar.
On the right was a very large golf course.
As soon as the group entered, a server immediately came forward, bringing all the necessary equipment. They also arranged for various drinks and pastries to be served.
There were even lounge chairs, sofas, and parasols.
It was a complete setup.
Shen Qingqing was wearing loungewear today, so she didn't need to change. She simply put on a sun hat, picked up a golf club, and prepared to tee off.
Ning Xin also felt playful and grabbed a club, following her. "Miss Shen, how about a match?"
"What's the stake?" Shen Qingqing wiped her club.
The club wasn't dirty, but this was a habitual action of hers. She always wiped her club before she felt it had the right feel for playing.
It was a small quirk.
Ning Xin hummed and watched her actions. "What do you want?"
Shen Qingqing chuckled, "Let's play first. We can defer the stake. If either of us loses, they have to agree to one condition from the other, how about that?"
"No problem."
Shen Qingqing took the first shot.
Both women were tall, and their stances in golf perfectly showcased their feminine figures.
However, their temperaments were completely different.
One was charming and alluring, her every move exuding charm. The other was heroic and spirited, her demeanor competent.
They were truly a perfect scenic view.
Fu Jingshu sat under the parasol, his gaze fixed on the charming figure. The beauty of the surrounding scenery could not capture his attention.
Suddenly, a figure sat down beside him.
He looked up.
Ning Su smiled slightly at him. "Jingshu, I didn't get a chance to talk to you properly before. We... haven't seen each other for a long time."
Fu Jingshu remained silent.
Ning Su was already accustomed to his cold and taciturn nature. She sat beside him, her gaze fixed on his stern profile.
"Jingshu, I was full of joy when I returned this time, but... I didn't expect you to be married."
Fu Jingshu still did not speak.
"I've been thinking about one question," Ning Su continued as if talking to herself. "If I had returned earlier, or if I hadn't left back then, would the person who became your wife now be me?"
The thought of that scene filled her with contentment and happiness.
But in the blink of an eye, Shen Qingqing appeared.
Her gaze suddenly turned resentful. "But why are you married? Why didn't you wait for me? I clearly called you and sent you messages back then!"
She had left Fu Jingshu with a promise: to wait for her, and she would return, she would definitely return!
Fu Jingshu finally slowly turned his head to look at her, his gaze three points colder than the most biting snow. "Why should I wait for you?"
Ning Su froze.
Fu Jingshu withdrew his gaze and stood up to leave.
Watching his retreating back, Ning Su's heart ached as if being torn apart. If she had known this would happen, she would never have left, even if it meant death!
On the other side, the two women had finished their game. The final result was that Shen Qingqing won, and Ning Xin accepted her defeat wholeheartedly.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
Shen Qingqing paused. "Why does that sound like a domineering CEO?"
Ning Xin recalled and chuckled, "It really does."
"I don't want anything right now," Shen Qingqing put down her club and turned to walk towards the person waiting for her in the distance under the sun.
"Shen Qingqing," Ning Xin suddenly called out to her.
She stopped as well.
Ning Xin took a deep breath and said, "I know this request is unfair to you, but... I truly hope you can fulfill Ning Su's wish."
Shen Qingqing narrowed her eyes and turned around. "Say that again."
Ning Xin's face flushed subtly, and she clenched her fists tightly. "I'm begging you."
"Since you know this request is unfair, why are you still making it?" Shen Qingqing asked with great interest. She couldn't understand what reason made Ning Xin's face turn red yet still say it.
Ning Xin's strength seemed to drain away instantly, her shoulders slumping. "I have reasons for having to do this. You and Ning Su are different. I can see that you are a very strong and decisive woman. You can live without him."
"So?"
A faint cold smile played on Shen Qingqing's lips.
"But Ning Su can't." Ning Xin was truly at her wit's end. "Please, just fulfill her wish. As long as you are willing to fulfill it, I will give you whatever you want, as long as I can do it."
Her eyes were incredibly resolute.
But Shen Qingqing's admiration for her vanished at this moment. She sighed softly. "Ning Xin, if it were you, would you agree?"
Ning Xin fell silent.
Shen Qingqing's smile turned into mockery. "So, why bother trying to persuade me? You should go and tell your sister to give up early, and not covet things that don't belong to her."
Ning Xin's lips moved, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.
"Different paths, different ambitions."
Shen Qingqing said coldly and turned to leave.
Fu Jingshu gazed at her. "What did she say to you?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head, not intending to tell him her excessive words. Otherwise, with his protectiveness towards her, he would surely turn his back and leave instantly.
