Chapter 115, second update, seeking monthly tickets I found out you walk without looking back.

  Ning Qing couldn't help but admire Ning Hai's pragmatism, who could change his attitude at will.

  Being around him, you really have to be useful, otherwise life will be very difficult.

  He's so good at investing, never raises useless people. If you're useless, you don't deserve dignity and respect. To live freely, the premise is to first help him do things that benefit him.

  "Your contract." Nian Qing took out the contract from the file bag and handed it over to Nian Haiqin.

  He asked her about the cold with concern, but she felt a chill in her heart as she listened.

  Nian Hai took the contract and flipped through it page by page, his smile growing deeper as he read. He looked up and praised Nian Qing: "Well done! I've always known you're capable. You've been smart since you were a kid. But I'm curious, what method did you use to get Gu Qingheng to give you this project?"

  Now, Nian Qing can no longer sever ties with Gu Qingheng.

  She handed over the project of Jintai Bay to Nian Hai, undoubtedly defaulting that she and Gu Qingheng could not be clear and innocent.

  They have an ambiguous relationship that cannot be washed clean.

  Nian Hai must understand. Nian Qing knew him and wanted to get some information out of her mouth, he still wanted to catch Gu Qing Heng's handle.

  "Hey, Dad. No matter what method I use to get this project, it's my own ability. You initially pointed out a bright path for me to follow, and now that I've followed your advice and succeeded, shouldn't you fulfill some promises?"

  Nian Hai's expression remained unchanged: "Speak."

  "I want to cancel my engagement with Guan Shao. And I want freedom. From now on, the right to decide my marriage, my life, and everything about me belongs to me."

  No need to hide it, she has been enduring the life of being a chess piece for Nian Jia, and Nian Hai has been counting on this in his heart. In the past, she was still young and didn't have the ability to stand up for herself, but now that she's grown into an adult, she can no longer bear it, being a chess piece for Nian Hai.

  Nian Hai narrowed his eyes and sized up Nian Qing.

  "Firstly, regarding your engagement with Guan Shao, I will go and discuss it. However, you must be clear that in the short term, it is impossible to dissolve. Initially, your engagement was agreed upon by both parties. Now, if we unilaterally propose to dissolve the engagement, it also requires a process."

  "It's freedom of speech." Nian Hai pressed his face, roughly tapping the table with his finger: "I think you're already free enough now. What's going on between you and Gu Qingheng is tacitly understood, I won't blame you. Who you hang out with outside, I don't interfere either. Qingqing, one must not be too greedy."

  The matter of breaking off the engagement can be told to Nian Qing by Nian Hai.

  But she is still the adopted daughter of the Nian family.

  She furrowed her brow in thought, and Hai said that she didn't need to say it out loud. If she didn't refute him, then it was tacit agreement.

  Although she and Gu Qingheng are now inseparable, she cannot fully admit it either.

  Nian Hai has always been Nian Zi's father, and now she has a use for him, trying to gain benefits. Nian Hai turns a blind eye to her ambiguous relationship with Gu Qing Heng.

  It's hard to say whether it can be done later.

  "Dad, I don't understand what you're saying. If Mom and Sis heard this, they'd misunderstand me. There's nothing going on between me and Gu Qingheng - he's my sister's fiancé, my future brother-in-law, and also my superior. That's all there is to it. Don't think too much into it, Dad."

  Nian Hai furrowed his brow, his eyes gloomily scrutinizing Nian Qing.

  Ning Qing's lips curved up slightly as she continued, "I obtained this project through proper channels. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Qingheng."

  Even if it's forced, just say it.

  Anyway, she would never admit it out of her own mouth, the illicit relationship between her and Gu Qingheng.

  Nian Hai was taken aback and didn't expect Nian Qing to say something like this.

  She and Gu Qingheng had done something wrong, but she insisted on making a fuss about it.

  But he temporarily has no evidence on hand to prove that Nian Qing and Gu Qingheng had a sexual relationship.

  He has been looking for a handle on Gu Qingheng, but the other party is too cautious and he can't find any clues. Nianqing's mouth is very tight, and it's hard to pry it open.

  "Contract, when to sign, did Gu Qingheng tell you?" Nian Hai asked heavily. For now, the most important thing is to finalize the project of Jintai Bay first, and put other things on hold.

  In terms of signing a contract, Nian Qing has communicated with Gu Qingheng privately and hopes to slow down the process, without rushing.

  "Dad, before signing the contract, I want a definite answer from you. How long will it take for me to dissolve my engagement with Guan Shao? After dissolving the engagement, can I decide my own marriage? In the future, do you still need me to socialize with men?" Ning Qing spoke clearly and didn't allow Ning Hai to deceive her.

  She has only one trump card and she must grasp it well in order to have a stable life afterwards.

  Nian Hai put down the contract, with a tone of doing business:

  "Within a month, I'll try to get you and Officer Wang to break off the engagement. As I said, if you help me get this project, I'll interfere less with your life in the future. But now that the project isn't fully confirmed yet, I can only satisfy one of your requests. For the others, give me a definite signing date and I'll agree to them."

  He had a clear mind and was cautious in his words, he wouldn't easily agree with her.

  But she didn't mind that Nian Hai would regret it later. The person in charge of the Jin Tai Bay project was her. After signing the contract, Nian Hai had to go through her multiple times.

  It was Gu Qingheng who deliberately arranged it.

  Nian Qingding lowered his head and smiled at Nian Hai, saying "Alright."

  The negotiations have basically reached an agreement.

  Afterwards, Nian Qing wanted to leave, but Nian Hai kept her company, chatting with her warmly and kindly.

  Nian Qing recited every sentence with great care and caution. Nian Hai wanted to find fault in her words.

  Nian Qing suggested leaving again.

  "Don't go yet, let's go eat together." said Nian Hai.

  Ning Qing frowned tightly, her father asked her to go eat, it was a matter of course, she couldn't refuse.

  But...

  The internal call in the office rang at this time.

  Nian Hai narrowed his eyes and picked up the phone - earlier, he had instructed his female secretary not to answer any calls, as he had important matters to discuss.

  "Hello." Nian Hai's attitude is generally neutral.

  “……”

  "Qingheng, how did you end up calling me?"

  “……”

  "A Zi is fine, she's still in the hospital, her mom is with her." Nian Hai's attitude had clearly changed. Gu Qing Heng rarely took the initiative to call him.

  Knit your brows in surprise.

  This phone call is from Gu Qingheng.

  She couldn't think much, grasped the time and said: "Dad, I won't disturb you anymore, I'll leave first."

  After finishing speaking, Nian Qing picked up her bag and walked out. She was sure that Nian Hai valued Gu Qingheng's call very much, so she left now, he wouldn't stop her.

  In her mind, there was a scale of benefits, and she and Gu Qingheng were weighed against each other. Who was heavier and who was lighter was clear at a glance.

  Leave the office and enter the elevator.

  Nian Qing pressed the button on the first floor, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Wiping his forehead with his hand, it was all sweaty.

  Actually, she was a bit afraid of Nian Hai. From young to old, she had always been treated strictly by him and could not help but suppress her nature...

  Nian Qing had a piece of candy in her pocket, took it out and ate it, only then did she feel a bit better.

  ……

  Leave Nian Hai's company.

  Her mind is clear and relaxed, a big stone in her heart has fallen off by half, and the other half will also fall off eventually. She believes that things will get better sooner or later, and her future life will be even better.

  She smiled again and swallowed another candy, her eyebrows seemed to hold a hint of sweetness, gentle and beautiful.

  Actually, what she wants is really simple, stability is fine.

  As she passed by the mall, Qing glanced at her watch and raised an eyebrow. It was only 12 o'clock, no need to rush home. Yuanzi wasn't there, she was alone at home, it was quite boring too.

  After some thought, Qing entered the mall, she needed to buy a bra.

  Picked a light-colored suitable bra, paid for it, strolled around the mall for a while before leaving.

  The mobile phone rang.

  Nian Qing took out her phone and glanced at it, again it was Gu Qing Heng.

  He just helped her out of trouble, now he wants to keep talking to her?

  Ning Qing stood up and hadn't spoken yet when Gu Qingheng suddenly said: "Take a look behind you."

  "What's behind me?" Nian Qing turned around in confusion, suddenly stunned, her heart racing.

  Behind her, a handsome man in dark casual attire held his phone and gazed intently at her with good-looking thin lips smiling elegantly.

  "I found out you walk with your eyes always on the road ahead, never looking back." Gu Qingheng walked step by step towards Nianqing, his voice transmitted through her phone.
