My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 153 Who is Qing Ning?

Gloria had to limp because her sprained foot were in great pain.

And she could feel Kenny’s gaze which is sharp like a knife stabbing her back. But biting her lips, she made it to the elevator and did not halt a single second.

The door was closing, but no one tried to catch up.

As the door closed, sorrow came up on her mind.

Down the elevator went, so did her heart.

...

Leon was waiting outside of the elevator.

And he happened to see Gloria walking out of the elevator with red eyes and bare feet.

“Gloria.” He went to help her in a hurry.

“Leon?” The sprained foot can barely touch the ground, so she had to lean her body on him.

“Si Chengyu...He...He didn’t mean to... ” Leon was almost whispering and as he was saying, he checked on her expression carefully.

“I got it.” She did not react little.

Whether Si Chengyu was taking advantage of her did not matter to Gloria.

What mattered to her was the attitude of Kenny.

It was Kenny that talked her into that banquet and she came, but still he lost temper at her.

And even if Si Chengyu had taken advantage of her, it was unacceptable for Gloria that Kenny was mad at her for that.

Leon noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he just held her arm to walk carefully without speaking.

He had been here before Kenny and seen Gloria dragged out of the banquet hall and getting in the elevator alone after a quarrel.

Comparing pushing Kenny to go after Gloria at that moment, it had been easier for Leon to run down stairs and wait for Gloria.

“Who’s Qing Ning?” Gloria interrupted his thought.

“Who?” He fiercely turned his head with astonished eyes.

“Qing Ning.” She stopped, stood up straight, looked into his eyes and repeated.

“How did you know that name?” After he heard that name, even the immature face of him appeared sadness.

Though Leon was at the age of changing voice, the trembling of his sound was not hard to notice.

It might explain a lot.

Si Chengyu knew Qing Ning, and Leon did, too. And, They both had good relations with her.

Maybe Kenny also knew this character.

Gloria recalled that last time when she had gone to Si Chengyu’s house to discuss business, he had looked at her at the way that she had been someone else.

“I look like her. Right?” Gloria said.

Leon nodded at first, but then he thought about some thing and said.

“No...” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Be honest with me Leon.” Gloria looked into his eyes.

“Yes...You do.” He turned down his head to avoid her.

“Thank you...I’m fine now.” She stated to limp again, to the hotel door.

According to the reaction of Si Chengyu and Leon, she knew that Qing Ning was supposed to be someone important to them.

And it changed everything. She got along well with them because she was a thief. A thief that steal it from Qing Ning.

Si Chengyu was a famous movie star. Besides, the wealth of his family was beyond imagination. Ordinary people could never make contact with a guy like this. Yet, he was so gentle and nice to her.

As for Leon, he sure was kind and smart, but he was just an immature kid, and not to mention the fact he was like a prince back at home. Yet, he got along well with her, too.

Not because she was Gloria but because of Qing Ning.

What about Kenny?

She had a feeling that Kenny knew that Qing Ning as well.

So, even Kenny...

Gloria laughed, mirthlessly, and she laughed at herself. She turned around and said to Leon.

“Do not follow me.” She stopped in front of the hotel door.

Leon looked at her. That warm face now turned cold and indifferent, and it was so pale.

Seeing her like this, he was also upset. He wanted to comfort her but was afraid of annoying her more.

“Will you go back to my cousin?” Finally, he decided to speak, and it was like he thought a long time to choose a sentence that was most unlikely to rise her anger again.

“Maybe.” Gloria could see his care, because even his curls now turned blue.

A waiter came and brought her a pair of shoes.

She did not do anything wrong and should not torture herself.

“Thank you.” She put them on.

The shoes reminded of her the pair she had thrown at Kenny, and she regretted doing it. For it could not hurt him at all.

“Shit. Should have just punched him in the face. ” She thought.

What a shame.

Cold breeze of winter stirred her red thin dress and shook her body.

But Gloria had to keep moving with a sprained foot because there was no cab at all.

Finally a cab stopped by. She got in and put her phone on the seat. Before she could think of any place she could go. It rang.

Would it be Kenny?

She bit her lips and picked her phone up.

It was Edith.

She could not tell how she felt. She was relieved indeed, but also disappointed.

“Hey, Edith.”

“Hey! Did you attend to the banquet? I’ve seen your photo on Facebook! Damn, you queen! ” Edith was as excited as usual.

Gloria smiled but still said weakly.

“Oh,thank you. But I guess I was just average level.”

“The hell! You are queen level! ” Edith noticed her bad mood and said.

“Something wrong? You sound upset.”

“Are you at home?” Gloria did not respond directly.

“Yeah.”

“Okay, I’m coming.” She hung up and told the address to driver.

“Is your friend a celebrity?” Driver asked her and started the cab.

Edith lived in a famous hood where a lot of celebrities lived. It was not a secret in Huyang city.

“Yeah, kind of.” Gloria nodded.

The cab pulled over after about twenty minutes.

“Here. You can put it on and wait for you friend. It’s cold outside. Your dress is pretty but it isn’t warm enough, eh?” Driver took off his coat and gave to Gloria.
