Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 925: Chapter 919: Nangong Beiying and Xiao Qi_1

“It’s not like that happened on a whim. My subordinates came to find me, what reason did I have to stay here and bother you?” Nangong Beiying’s voice is soft. She wanted to say that she felt helpless and scared when she arrived here, not knowing the reason she came or who the so-called destined person was. So, when Feng and his men showed up, she left with them.

But now seeing Xiao Qi, she knew she had been suppressing herself. In reality, she did want to see him, didn’t she?

So when he took her hand to leave, she obediently followed without any resistance or hesitation.

“I didn’t mention being bothered, so what’s this bother about?” Xiao Qi really wanted to grab this woman and scold her.

“Xiao Qi, can you let me go first?” Nangong Beiying pushes Xiao Qi away, she feels very uncomfortable at the moment.

“No.” Xiao Qi thought about it for a long time, he finally found her after all this trouble, how could he possibly let her go? He needed to hold her tightly to prevent her from slipping away again.

...
“Don’t you think this is strange?” Nangong Beiying was unsure where to place her own hands, feeling awkward whether she hugged him back or just left them stiff.

“Don’t you miss me at all?” Xiao Qi choked upon hearing this, he had put aside his dignity, can’t this woman understand what he means?

“Do you want the truth or a lie?” Nangong Beiying’s heart skips a beat, she’s not a fool.

“Definitely the truth.” Xiao Qi grits his teeth in frustration, is this woman doing it on purpose? Is she trying to piss him off to death?

“I don’t,” Nangong Beiying gave a straightforward answer. She occasionally recalled the events of that day but didn’t really miss him or feel much for him.

“You.” Xiao Qi was stiff, he never expected such an answer. Was this all wishful thinking on his part? He had dropped all his pride, wasn’t his intention clear?

“Did I say something wrong?” Nangong Beiying gazed at his wounded expression, feeling a twinge of pain at heart. What could she say, that she missed him?

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong, it’s my fault.” Xiao Qi never imagined that the first time he fell for a woman, it would end up like this. He now knew what it felt like to be rejected, it was truly bitter.

“How is it your fault?” Nangong Beiying was taken aback; how had his mind suddenly made him at fault?

“Nothing, where have you been these days, are you well?” Xiao Qi released her and gestured for her to sit on the steps with him, not caring about cleanliness, he just suddenly wanted to be like this.

“Well, my days have been generally as usual, dealing with a pile of things every day and kept busy until I don’t want to move.” Nangong Beiying sat down as well, she wasn’t picky about cleanliness, and had sat in far dirtier places. This was just a stone pavement, hardly dirty at all.

“Are you really named Chu Beiying?” Xiao Qi thought about why he couldn’t find any information on such a name.

“Yep, I was originally named Chu Beiying, now it’s Nangong Beiying.” Nangong Beiying nodded. Chu Beiying was her name and also the one she used overseas. Therefore, Feng and others didn’t find it unusual when Qin Xue referred to her as Chu Beiying. She had been Chu Beiying for twenty years and they had heard this name for twenty years, why would they find it odd? They just thought she told Qin Xue the name.

“No wonder I couldn’t find it, you changed your surname.” Xiao Qi mumbled quietly.

“What did you say?” Nangong Beiying didn’t hear him clearly and asked for clarification.

“Nothing, I just didn’t expect I would bump into the mysterious Miss Nangong by coincidence.” Xiao Qi hadn’t expected such a turn of events.
