Chapter 1171: Holds Grudges, Not Gratitude

Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: Holds Grudges, Not Gratitude

Zhao Dingli pointed at his waist, he didn’t sit up completely, so he was completely relying on his core strength to support himself.

Li Xiaoyun could tell at a glance.

As a result, she heard Zhao Dingli say, "Look, my waist is really good."

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Truly unexpected!

You remember the morning’s discussion until now!

Li Xiaoyun herself had forgotten.

In the morning, Zhao Dingli had privately chatted with her, emphasizing that his waist was in great shape.

Li Xiaoyun thought he might say that, but how could he prove it?

Though at the time she had just murmured this in her heart.

Who would have thought Zhao Dingli really wanted to prove it to her?

She said Zhao Dingli was so energetic, despite spending a long day working, how did he still have energy to exercise?

Turns out this was his plan.

This man’s approach is really...

You never know why he says or does something until you see the result.

"Very good." Li Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched, already unsure of what to say.

Zhao Dingli was particularly satisfied.

He had already proven himself to Li Xiaoyun.

So, he got up, grabbed a towel, and while wiping sweat he walked over.

"Let’s go." Zhao Dingli said.

Li Xiaoyun stood up surprised: "You finished training?"

"Already done." Zhao Dingli said.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

It hasn’t been that long.

Zhao Dingli’s intention was just too obvious.

After proving his waist’s prowess to her, he stopped training.

Isn’t this purposefulness too strong!

The two walked toward the bedroom together.

At the entrance of Li Xiaoyun’s bedroom, Zhao Dingli stopped.

Suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Still so unexpected.

Leaving Li Xiaoyun no chance to be nervous at first, he suddenly kissed her.

But Zhao Dingli just gave a quick kiss before separating.

He was still sweating, worried the smell might not be pleasant, destroying his image in Li Xiaoyun’s mind.

Yet, unbeknownst to him, in Li Xiaoyun’s mind, he was the epitome of attraction.

Even his sweat smelled manly to Li Xiaoyun, not unpleasant at all.

"I’ll go shower, you should rest early too." Zhao Dingli said.

"Mm, goodnight." Li Xiaoyun nodded.

"Goodnight." Zhao Dingli said with a smile.

Watching Li Xiaoyun return to her room, he then returned to his own room.

Li Xiaoyun returned to her room, at last thoroughly blushing and her heart racing.

That kiss just now, although she hadn’t had time to be nervous.

Yet now her heart raced quickly.

Li Xiaoyun pressed her chest, trying to calm her heart.

But her palm could still feel the "thump thump" of her heartbeat.

Fast and strong.

Like it was trying to burst out of her chest, pounding steadily against her palm through flesh and bone.

Li Xiaoyun lay flat on the bed, both hands pressing against her chest.

Her mind was pondering, how could Zhao Dingli be so good?

He specifically mentioned he’d go to sleep after showering, not planning to find her again.

Even though the two lived together, separated only by a wall.

This man, really reassuring.

Li Xiaoyun genuinely felt she was extremely lucky, hitting the jackpot.

She rolled on the bed, burying her face in the quilt.

She’s really too lucky!

***

Zhao Guqing never spent the night with Ye Ning.

Always left after resting for a while.

He really didn’t treat her as a serious woman.

Almost like one kept at his beck and call, as if she was being maintained.

But, the reality was indeed like this.

Zhao Guqing gave her quite a few benefits, considered a kind of transaction.

Ye Ning tried to keep him every time, but was never successful.

But Ye Ning wasn’t discouraged, always tried to keep him, as usual.

Zhao Guqing at least used to coax a bit before.

Maybe because of tonight’s frank conversation, Zhao Guqing didn’t even bother to coax.

Just gave a dismissive smile and got dressed and left.

After Zhao Guqing left, Ye Ning angrily hit the bed.

She didn’t leave the hotel.

Zhao Guqing had already paid, so Ye Ning certainly stayed the night before leaving, otherwise she would lose out.

The next morning, she had breakfast at the hotel before returning home.

Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen were both at home.

Seeing her return, Xu Huizhen eagerly asked about her well-being, "Ning Ning, you’re back."

She assumed Ye Ning and Zhao Guqing were in a romantic relationship.

Xu Huizhen was quite pleased.

Both daughters found top-notch wealthy men.

In the future, she would have relations on par with the Zhao Family.

Even if Ye Fei didn’t care for her, it didn’t matter, there was still Ye Ning.

Ye Fei might think she was impressive for marrying Zhao Gushen.

But Ye Ning wasn’t lacking either!

Moreover, Xu Huizhen believed that eventually Ye Ning would surpass Ye Fei.

At that time, Ye Fei would end up crying!

Ye Fei would definitely regret it later, begging for forgiveness, and asking for a way out.

Regretting being unfeeling and uncaring toward them now.

"Mm." Ye Ning wasn’t in a good mood, seeing Xu Huizhen’s smile made her suddenly think of Ye Fei introducing Li Xiaoyun to Zhao Dingli.

"Have you had breakfast?" Xu Huizhen asked.

"I’ve had it." Ye Ning said.

"Mom, you know? Ye Fei truly never thinks of anything for us." Ye Ning said, "Not a single thing."

"Don’t bring her up, thinking about her makes me angry." As soon as Xu Huizhen heard Ye Fei’s name, her face changed immediately.

"Wait, what did she do this time?" Xu Huizhen asked Ye Ning.

Ye Ning just talked about what happened between Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli.

"She’d prefer to introduce Zhao Dingli to an outsider than to me." Ye Ning said angrily.

"Ning Ning, let it go." Ye Dezhang advised, "Aren’t you already with Zhao Guqing?"

Of course, Ye Ning couldn’t tell Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen the true nature of her relationship with Zhao Guqing.

Ye Ning then said, "I’m with Zhao Guqing, but that’s my own fate, it’s unrelated to Ye Fei. Ye Fei being my sister is one thing, me being with Zhao Guqing is unrelated."

"Besides, can Zhao Guqing compare with Zhao Dingli? Zhao Dingli’s power and voice in the Zhao Family are far greater than Zhao Guqing’s. Zhao Guqing still has to listen to his father, but Zhao Dingli is in charge himself."

"Is he that great?" Hearing there’s someone better than Zhao Guqing, Xu Huizhen was no longer content, "I know Ye Fei isn’t close to us, but she’s doing this deliberately to irritate us."

Xu Huizhen turned to speak to Ye Dezhang, "Even if Ye Fei isn’t close to us, we raised her from a young age, that nurturing bond cannot be erased. She’s only remembering grudges and not appreciation!"

"Just for that bit of resentment, she’s disregarding past nurturing bonds." Xu Huizhen lamented.

"But, Zhao Dingli is quite old. Ye Fei might feel the age gap doesn’t suit, so she didn’t mention it." Ye Dezhang added.

"Oh, she thinks Zhao Dingli isn’t age-appropriate for Ning Ning, but he’s appropriate for her friend?"
