Red Rose Café
Xinyou Qiao rested her chin with both hands, stirring the strong coffee carelessly until someone came. When she raised her head, she saw handsome Hao Nangong.
“What does Miss Qiao want from me?” The smile on Hao’s face was lazy, and his voice was husky.
Xinyou put down the spoon, smiling, and said gently, “Hao, do you remember the last time it was at this café, the two of us chatting?”
Hao held his chin with both hands and made a thoughtful appearance, then he shook his head and said, “Sorry, I don’t remember anything.”
Xinyou wasn’t annoyed and said, “Then let me help you recall. You mentioned that design and told me that Mr. Ye was looking for the owner. Don’t you remember?”
Hao made a look of sudden enlightenment and asked in a gentle tone, “Why do you mention this?”
Xinyou elegantly took a sip of her coffee and said slowly, “At the time, I thought you didn’t mean to mention it, but after something happened, I think you did it on purpose!”
“Oh?”
“When I saw you anxiously carried Venus away yesterday after she fainted, it made me wonder if you... liked Venus.” Xinyou directly cut to the chase and said with certainty.
Hao didn’t answer immediately.
Xinyou was anxious, but she had to pretend to be calm and continued, “You deliberately told me about that because you wanted me to learn that Kerry was looking for me, then let me take the initiative to approach Kerry, and when we’re together, you’ll be able to get Venus. Am I right?”
Nangong snorted and finally said, “Miss Qiao is indeed a smart person. Since you know this, I will be honest. I do think so.”
Xinyou couldn’t help but feel relieved, and continued to ask, “How do you know that I will definitely approach Kerry?”
Hao raised his chin slightly, his tone a bit lazy, “Because I can see ambitions in your eyes.”
Ambition?
She thought she had been hiding it well, but she didn’t expect to be seen by him, but it seemed he wasn’t just a dude who just played with women like the rumors said.
Xinyou nodded and said, “OK.”
Hao looked at her, asking with his husky voice, “In order to put my partner at ease, I need to confess something to you.”
Xinyou frowned and said, “What is it?”
“I know that the owner of the design is actually Venus.”
Xinyou froze and the hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly, asking incredulously, “How do you know that?”
“You don’t have to know. I just want to make a request.”
“What request?”
