"Ningxi, what's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"
Xu Ningxi shook her head.
"No, I'm fine."
She then asked Du Zhizhou, "Cousin, why are you here?"
Du Zhizhou said, "I have a collaboration with the Gu family, and it was their people who invited me over. I didn't expect to bump into you here; I thought you didn't like this sort of occasion and wouldn't come today. That's why I didn't contact you when I received the invitation. If I had known earlier that you wanted to come, I would have asked you to be my female companion."
Listening to his words, Xu Ningxi thought...
Yes, if Du Zhizhou had known in advance and invited her to be his female companion, that would have been great.
Then, she would definitely have refused to be Du Zhizhou's female companion, and she wouldn't have come.
That way, she wouldn't have run into Fu Hanzheng again and been hurt because of him.
She couldn't help but murmur, "Yes, it would have been nice if you had invited me."
