Chapter 1820: When did You Start Liking Me?

Although what happened back then was not Zhang Manhua’s intention, it had caused irreparable harm to Qu Xiujie. This hurt was probably hard to get rid of in Qu Xiujie’s heart. As long as she could do it, Zhang Manhua was willing to do everything she could.

Zhang Manhua was willing to do anything to make up for it.

“We must let this Qu Xiujie know that he should treat Mao Nana better. It’s not easy for this girl. She worked hard all the way until now and finally has some ambition. We can’t lose such a good marriage just because of such a small matter.”

Mother Ji’s eyes turned gentle. Qu Xiujie had finally made her see him in a different light.

“Yes, Xiujie can be considered to have been revived.”

Her mother’s voice was filled with satisfaction, and the smile in her eyes was sweet and contented.

“Mom, you guys can decide on Old master Qu’s gift. Ziming and I will prepare something else.”

Pei Ge did not say anything else when she saw the two mothers discussing about Qu Xiujie. Now that Qu Xiujie and Mao Nana were out playing, she would definitely be able to find them. Qu Xiujie had promised her that he would do it.

Pei Ge believed that Qu Xiujie was not someone who would break his promise.

At this moment, Qu Xiujie was bringing Mao Nana to a luxurious western restaurant with red wine, candles and western food. The atmosphere was romantic and there were two people sitting at the dining table.

One was young and beautiful, while the other was mature and steady. Although their age difference was obvious, they were exceptionally eye-catching.

Everyone else did not find anything inappropriate.

“Uncle, when did you start liking me?”

Mao Nana held a glass of red wine in one hand and supported her chin with the other. Her gaze was so gentle that it seemed as though water could flow from them. Her face was so delicate that one could not bear to look away. The fingers holding the glass of red wine were fair and tender. The red liquid swayed in the transparent glass as though it was rippling in Qu Xiujie’s heart.

It was just that the light dimples on Mao Nana’s face made it easier for him to get drunk.

In front of a beauty, all the delicacies were gone.

“You want to hear it?”

The corners of Qu Xiujie’s lips curled up. He could not help but feel a little reluctant when he saw that Mao Nana had not drunk much.

“Don’t drink so much. The food hasn’t even been served and you’re already drunk. We haven’t even gotten to the main topic yet. Aren’t you a little too fast?”

“How am I fast?”

Mao Nana, who was originally half lying on the table, sat up straight. “Did I ask the wrong question, or do you not want to answer my question at all?”

“Let me tell you; men don’t like aggressive women.”

The corners of Qu Xiujie’s lips curled and a sly look flashed past his eyes. “But I like.”

“Then quickly tell me. I can’t wait anymore.”

“Don’t worry, let’s eat first. If there’s anything you can’t wait for, I’ll tell you after we’ve eaten.”

Qu Xiujie’s gaze shifted from Mao Nana’s face to the steak in front of him. His voice was gentle yet authoritative. “We’ve played and eaten today. We’ll start working tomorrow.”

“Are you talking about your father’s matter?”

Mao Nana put down the wine glass and asked tentatively.

“Mhm, that’s right. I’m still hesitating on whether to tell him about this. Although I promised Ge Ge, I still feel a little weird inside. You don’t know what kind of person he is. He’s really willing to do anything to achieve his goal. It’s said that a family doesn’t enter the same house. It’s only now that I realize why I don’t feel at home in that house. It’s because we are two different people.”

“Uncle, don’t worry. You still have me. I’ll be by your side in the future.”

Mao Nana looked at Qu Xiujie with watery eyes. No matter what this man did in the future, at least he still had her by his side. As long as she was by his side, there would not be so many people hurting the man she loved.

As long as she was around, he would never hurt her again.

Love could really give a person strength. For the sake of the person they loved, no matter how small or weak they were in the past, they would become fearless when they realized that they loved him.

“Nana, you must remember that no matter where you are in the future, you must always be happy. You are a good girl, so you should have a good future.”

“My future is yours. Other than you, I don’t want anyone else.”

Mao Nana shook her head and looked at Qu Xiujie with determination.

“Alright. You’re not allowed to have anyone else but me.”

Qu Xiujie met Mao Nana’s eyes and their gazes met.

By the time Qu Xiujie and Mao Nana finished their lunch at the western restaurant and drove back to the house, Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua were already chatting on the sofa.

“Mom, do you think uncle and Nana will really get married?”

Pei Ge was a little unsure but she did not know if Mao Nana was considered an accident in Qu Xiujie’s heart. Even if it was an accident, she had to make it happen later.

“They will be together. If they’re not together, what can I do as an elder sister?”

Zhang Manhua poured a cup of tea for Pei Ge and continued, “Don’t worry about your uncle. Think about what to say about your relationship with Old master Qu. What do you mean by letting Madam Ji and I prepare the gifts ourselves? I know that you never think that way.”

Zhang Manhua sat down after pouring the tea. She was a little surprised by Pei Ge’s evasive gaze. This daughter of hers seemed to be hiding something. What exactly was it that made Pei Ge so unwilling to reveal it?

“Ge Ge, are you hiding something from me?”

Zhang Manhua looked into Pei Ge’s eyes and realized that the latter did not dare to look at her. As a mother, she had a feeling that this matter was related to her.

“Mom, what can I hide from you? You know everything that needs to be said and shouldn’t be said.”

Pei Ge drank a few mouthfuls of tea before continuing, “Also, Mom, you are Old master Qu’s daughter and you know about this.”

“That’s not all, right? Ge Ge, tell me the truth; what is it?”

“Mom, there’s really nothing else.”

She repeatedly shook her head and denied that she was hiding something from her mother.
