Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Zhao Jingmiao felt it was necessary to make things clear with Qian Bao.

”Qian Bao, there’s no need for you to treat me like this.” Thinking of this, Zhao Jingmiao put down her chopsticks and said, ”I... we...”

”I’ve had enough, you go ahead and eat.” Qian Bao suddenly stood up from his seat, tidied up the plate in front of him, ”I’m going to wash up, you eat slowly.”

With that, he hurriedly took the plate to the kitchen.

Zhao Jingmiao, ”...”

Can she finish speaking first?

In the kitchen, Qian Bao stopped.

Over the past two years, he felt he had trained himself well. The ability to remain composed might not be perfect, but it wasn’t bad either.

But earlier, hearing Zhao Jingmiao wanting to clarify things made him inexplicably flustered. He suddenly feared hearing what Zhao Jingmiao would say next.

Without needing to guess, he knew those words would definitely be a rejection.

If she doesn’t say it clearly, perhaps he can still pretend not to hear, but once she makes it clear that she’s rejecting him, what will he do?

He can’t fight her, and he’s even afraid of scaring her when he gets angry.

What to do?

He can only avoid it.

In the living room, Zhao Jingmiao lowered her head, clenching her teeth.

She could clearly see Qian Bao fleeing in a panic.

But the more he acted like this, the sooner things should be resolved, after all, prolonged pain is worse than short-term pain. Rather than greater pain in the future, it’s better not to have hope from the start.

And she wasn’t sure if this hope was referring to herself or to Qian Bao.

”Qian Bao, I have something to tell you.” Standing at the kitchen door, Zhao Jingmiao looked at the big guy inside, and she clearly saw that he stiffened up when he heard this.

”Okay. Go ahead.” Qian Bao didn’t stop washing the dishes and said.

”You...” Zhao Jingmiao got annoyed with the way he handled things, ”I know your feelings, but please don’t waste your time on me; we can’t be together.”

”You’re no longer the little thug collecting fees in Zhabei, you deserve a better woman.”

Qian Bao’s current status is incomparable to the past, and many good families’ daughters would marry him.

”Then... if I turn back into the little thug in Zhabei, would you consider me?” Qian Bao stopped and looked at her seriously.

Zhao Jingmiao was sure that he wasn’t joking.

Apparently, if she dared to nod, this big guy would immediately throw away all those businesses in his hand and go back to Zhabei to be a little thug.

”You... how can you say that?”

Is that the point?

Please, it seems he’s missing the point!

”Qian Bao,” Zhao Jingmiao looked at him seriously and said, ”No matter what you become, whether it’s Zhabei’s little thug or Mr. Qian now, we can’t be together.”

”Is it because of that Lei guy? Even now, you still can’t forget him, right?” Qian Bao turned to look at Zhao Jingmiao and said.

Lei Xingjun?

Zhao Jingmiao smiled bitterly and shook her head.

She had long clarified things with Lei Xingjun.

”Then what is it?” Qian Bao said, ”If you can’t forget him, it’s okay. I can wait until you do forget him.”

As long as she’s willing to give him a chance, not rejecting him instantly like now.

”No, it’s not because of him. It’s because of me.” Zhao Jingmiao smiled lightly, ”I never planned to get married in this lifetime, so don’t waste your time. There are plenty of good women in this world.”

What’s more, Qian Bao is capable and not bad-looking.

”Why?” Qian Bao asked in surprise.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Jingmiao to have such plans.
