"Mm." Apart from replying with this, Ning Zihan didn’t know what else to say.
Actually, every ti An Baobei ntioned to ’One Person’ that she liked soone, he didn’t want her to bring it up, but couldn’t help feeling happy. Anyway, that feeling was very conflicted and complex.
"If I didn’t like Ning Zihan, maybe I would have liked you. Your personality fits my taste," An Baobei said with a giggle.
Ning Zihan started to worry. What if An Baobei stopped liking him and instead liked ’One Person’? He had to rember that ’One Person’ was actually himself!
Should he change the way he talks in the future?
Or should he act differently from his real-life self?
While Ning Zihan was pondering these questions, another voice ssage from An Baobei ca through: "I’m already in love with Ning Zihan, and I don’t know when I’ll stop liking him. You should try to find soone in real life instead of wasting your ti on , but we can definitely be good friends."
Ning Zihan imdiately typed back, "No need to be good friends, this is fine."
"I also think it’s nice to just be online friends, so let’s continue like this. But you should also try to find a girlfriend in real life. If I ever get over Ning Zihan, I should be able to find soone new, too."
The thought of An Baobei liking soone else made Ning Zihan feel choked, but it’s also what he wanted. He didn’t want An Baobei to still like him. He held a very pessimistic view towards marriage and love, but he also knew that there are lifelong, unbreakable loves and marriages in this world; he just didn’t believe they’d happen to him.
Besides, he had already mapped out the trajectory for his life and didn’t want to make any changes.
Yet he still hoped that An Baobei could have a happy and beautiful love and marriage.
So, as long as he’s not the main character, he can bless An Baobei.
Even if it makes him uncomfortable.
Suppressing the feeling of being choked up, Ning Zihan quickly sent back a single word: "Mm."
"Are you at work now?"
"Mm."
"Then go ahead and work, I won’t bother you."
"Mm."
Feeling calm, once he stopped chatting with An Baobei, Ning Zihan was able to focus on his work.
The morning passed just like that.
At noon, Ning Zihan didn’t go anywhere. He ate at the company, rested for half an hour in the office’s attached lounge, and then started the afternoon’s work.
At three in the afternoon, Ning Wenxian arrived.
"Brother, Dad wants you to co ho for dinner tonight," Ning Wenxian said imdiately upon entering the CEO’s office.
Ning Zihan was looking at the docunts in his hand and didn’t even glance at Ning Wenxian as he said calmly, "A phone call would have sufficed, there’s no need for you to co in person."
Ning Wenxian smiled and said, "Dad was worried you wouldn’t co back, so he sent to urge you personally."
Ning Zihan still didn’t look at Ning Wenxian; he just humd while working, "Trying to pressure into marriage again. I’ve told him so many tis, I won’t get married. You can tell him I’m not coming ho tonight."
Regarding whether their brother would get married or not, Ning Wenxian felt it was her brother’s choice and she didn’t want to intervene. She just smiled and said, "Whether you marry or not, Dad is still our dad. Go ho and have a al. Even if he pressures you, just pretend you didn’t hear."
Seeing her brother remain unresponsive, she pleaded, "Brother, please don’t make the middleperson between you and Dad. Co ho for dinner tonight."
