Chapter 119: You’ve Been Drugged.
This wasn’t the first time Shen Zhiyi had rejected him; Meng Qiming had been mentally prepared for it. He tried to steer the conversation elsewhere with a smile, but Shen Zhiyi didn’t give him a chance to beat around the bush.
"Sorry, I really don’t have any feelings for you, I don’t want this relationship to become a bother."
The smile on Meng Qiming’s face gradually faded, turning bitter, "Do I really not have even a slight chance?"
He too was once a favored son of heaven, never before rejected so repeatedly by someone.
Shen Zhiyi gently shook her head.
After a long while, Meng Qiming stood up, "Alright, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you anymore."
His smile was forced, "But we can still be friends, and it’s an honor to have you as a spokesperson for CN. Today is my birthday, so hang around for a while before you leave."
He needed time to process his emotions and walked toward the bar on his own.
Before long, a friend who noticed his unusual demeanor came over—it was the long-haired man they jokingly called "the painter."
"What’s with that look on your face?" the painter asked as he ordered a drink, guessing the reason, "Was it her who rejected you?"
Previously at a small gathering, Meng Qiming had mentioned to him that he was pursuing a woman who did not like him and had rejected him several times.
