Ning Keqing was not qualified to be Ming Shu's enemy, so she was beaten thoroughly by Ming Shu.

If it wasn't for the staff coming in time, probably things would have gotten worse. Ning Keqing was shouting and yelling in a hysterical voice, her clothes a mess and temperament unstable. She totally looked like a psychopath.

Even if Ming Shu hit her, it could probably be a justifiable defense, so no one questioned her.

Ning Keqing was forcibly removed from the restaurant. At first she resisted with loud yelling and shouting, but when she was almost out of Ming Shu's line of sight, she suddenly became quiet.

Her eyes filling with hatred, she stared at Ming Shu like an evil, poisonous snake.

Ming Shu curved her lips, waving her hands excitedly at Ning Keqing.

"Ah—" Ning Keqing couldn't stand the provocation anymore and screamed recklessly.

[Hatred Points are maxed out, task completed.] The Harmony System notified after Ning Keqing disappeared from this world.[You can choose to stay in this world until the body you are living in expires. Or you can choose to return to the system space and move on to your next task.]

Return?

For what?

I haven't eaten enough!

I'm not going back!

Ming Shu refused to return, and the Harmony System didn't say anything to interfere.

After looking for Jiang Xun all around the restroom, Ming Shu didn't find him, so she had to return to her family's room alone.

"Where's your brother?" Mother Jiang asked when she saw Ming Shu coming in by herself.

"I don't know. I didn't find him." Ming Shu shrugged, sitting down to continue eating.

Mother Jiang shook her head. She was going to look for Jiang Xun herself when the door was pushed open suddenly. Jiang Xun entered, one hand in his pocket, and looked straight at Mother Jiang.

"Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you."

Mother and Father Jiang looked at each other over and over again, and finally Father Jiang nodded. "What is it?"

Turning to Ming Shu, who was still absorbed in her food and didn't look up, Jiang Xun said, "Niannian."

Ming Shu raised her head with a bit of confusion in her eyes. Why do you call my name when talking to our parents?

Jiang Xun's cold face showed a kind of soft color. He looked deep into Ming Shu's eyes. "Niannian, I like you."

Hearing this, Ming Shu wasn't surprised at all, but Mother and Father Jiang were frightened. They were shocked, wearing the same disbelieving looks on their faces.

"Xun'er..."

"Mom, Dad, I know you are not my biological parents, so it doesn't matter if I like Niannian." Jiang Xun continued, "Niannian and I grew up together, it'll be better for me to look after her rather than others, won't it?"

Under the gazes of Mother and Father Jiang, Jiang Xun walked toward Ming Shu. Pulling his hand from his pocket, he held out a small and exquisite box to Ming Shu. The box was open; a ring sat quietly inside.

Jiang Xun was determined to do this and got down on one knee, stern eyes filled with eager affection. "Niannian, would you like to be my girlfriend?"
