Who Made Him an Antagonist

63: Chapter 63 Ning Ke’er’s Blushing FaceQin Ge walked into the coffee shop with a troubled expression, looked around, and sat down opposite Ning Ke’er.

After ordering a cup of coffee, he turned his head to look out the window, gazing at the diverse passersby, his eyes filled with a sense of loss.

Of course, his gaze was merely blank; Qin Ge’s heart was not confused at all.

Even the timing of his late arrival, right after Bai Feng left, had been calculated perfectly.

You must know, Ning Ke’er wasn’t always this kind of goody-two-shoes with an inarticulate personality.

On the contrary, the former Ning Ke’er had quite the temperament of a chivalrous heroine, always speaking out for justice.

However, back then, after Ning Ke’er spoke up for Bai Feng, she attracted retaliation and suppression from Bai Feng’s enemies.

This caused the entire commercial territory of the Ning Family to suffer a devastating blow.

From then on, Ning Ke’er’s status within the Family plummeted.

Whenever her parents encountered any annoyance, they would vent their anger on Ning Ke’er.

At first, Ning Ke’er would still defend herself.

But as time passed, and her defenses failed time and again, Ning Ke’er fell into endless self-doubt.

She gradually wrapped her true self in heavy layers.

No longer revealing her true feelings.

Simple pick-up attempts were already ineffective on Ning Ke’er; after all, she no longer revealed her true feelings.

How would she care about pick-up attempts from the outside world?

To truly enter Ning Ke’er’s heart, one must ruthlessly tear apart the protective color she wore.

The one who tied the knot must be the one to untie it!

Bai Feng was the perfect target to expose Ning Ke’er’s inner trauma!

Glancing at the slightly agitated Ning Ke’er from the corner of his eye, Qin Ge wore a smile on his lips.

He was very satisfied with this result.

It was worth it that he had indirectly leaked the news of Ning Ke’er’s presence here to Bai Feng!

At least, after being stimulated by Bai Feng, the ’stay away’ aura Ning Ke’er carried had faded significantly!

Night gradually fell, and the dim streetlights lit up.

Qin Ge stacked a buff and equipped the slightly cool night badge.

In an instant, a strong magnetic field of loneliness, desolation, and melancholy seemed to form around him.

It had a fatal attraction for women.

He stared out the window, looking at the hurried passersby, murmuring to himself, ”A busy life, it’s really good!”

Ning Ke’er, holding her coffee, didn’t know what was happening; her gaze inexplicably fell on Qin Ge, and she found she couldn’t look away.

Looking at Qin Ge’s profile, she felt a dazed sense of awe.

More importantly, Qin Ge’s melancholy expression made her feel it was very familiar and gave her a sense of intimacy.

She held the coffee with both hands, staring at Qin Ge’s profile, and for the first time ever, she took the initiative to ask, ”I see you’re in a bad mood; did you encounter any difficulties?”

Qin Ge turned his head, his expression melancholy and bitter as he said, ”It’s not really a difficulty, I just feel it’s not worth it. I helped someone, but in the end, I got covered in trouble. Now, whenever there’s any problem in the company, those directors point their fingers at me, blaming me for being meddlesome and causing trouble.”

He shook his head and waved his hand, saying, ”Forget it, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand!”

”I...”

Ning Ke’er opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes trembling as she nodded heavily, ”I understand!”

She could understand! She understood too well!

Back then, she had only said a couple of words for Bai Feng, and it attracted crazy suppression from a giant among the aristocratic families.

It caused their Ning Family’s group company to suffer heavy damage.

She had also been scolded by her parents day after day for over a decade.

No matter what request she made or what she wanted to do, her parents would sternly refuse.

Wasn’t her situation exactly like Qin Ge’s right now?

Especially since she had seen Bai Feng today.

It made her emotions even more agitated.

She could no longer stay calm!

Looking at Qin Ge opposite her, Ning Ke’er helplessly lowered her head and whispered softly, ”It’s just a pity that I can’t help you.”

Yes. Her Ning Family could be considered a first-class Family in the Magic City.

Even after being suppressed, they still ranked at the tail end of the first-class families.

However, she had no say within the Family.

Even if she wanted to help Qin Ge solve some troubles.

Her words carried little weight, and she couldn’t mobilize the resources of the Ning Family.

”Ding! Daughter of Destiny Ning Ke’er has developed feelings of guilt toward the Host. Rewarding the Host with 1000 villain points!”

Hearing the notification of the reward, Qin Ge was stunned.

Ah, this? We just met! It’s our first time talking.

What the heck are you feeling guilty for?

No wonder Ning Ke’er spoke up for Bai Feng back then, causing the Ning Family to be suppressed.

You really take an interest in way too many things.

Learn from your mistakes.

Ning Ke’er is the type who falls into the pit but never learns!

”I think what you should do now is take the initiative to admit your mistake, apologize to those directors, and then promptly recover the losses. Otherwise, your say in the company will become lower and lower, until you are pushed aside.”

Ning Ke’er looked at Qin Ge, offering a kind reminder.

Perhaps it was because they were in the same boat, or perhaps Qin Ge made her feel a sense of closeness.

Ning Ke’er did not want Qin Ge to follow in her footsteps.

”Apologize? Why should I apologize?”

Qin Ge was displeased and retorted, ”Things have already happened; what’s the use of apologizing? They can blame me all they want, but does that mean I must do whatever they want me to do?”

”I am a living person, not their puppet; why should I listen to their orders?”

The ’rebellious’ Qin Ge took a large gulp of coffee and said excitedly, ”They want to make me uncomfortable, but I insist on living even more comfortably!”

After saying this, Qin Ge stood up as if he had figured it all out and turned to leave.

Ning Ke’er looked at the Qin Ge before her in astonishment, watching a Qin Ge who made a completely different choice than she did, her gentle eyes filled with surprise.

She had thought about rebelling, but all she got was increasingly intense suppression from her parents.

In the end, she chose to submit silently, but in the end, she was treated like a punching bag, getting yelled at for no reason, whether there was an issue or not.

But now, it seemed Qin Ge had chosen a third solution?

Ning Ke’er asked curiously, ”Where are you going?”

Qin Ge turned back and said with a smile, ”To relax!”

Ning Ke’er stammered, feeling curious, reserved, and more than anything, expectant, ”Can I go with you?”

”Of course you can!”

Qin Ge beckoned to Ning Ke’er, and they left the coffee shop together, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the amusement park.

A quarter of an hour later, the entrance to the amusement park was crowded with people.

Ning Ke’er looked at Qin Ge, who was holding her hand, and struggled slightly.

Qin Ge glanced back and feigned ignorance, saying, ”There are too many people here; I’m afraid of getting separated from you.”

He saw that Ning Ke’er, upon arriving at the amusement park, had started to calm down again; she seemed to be hesitating and thinking about leaving.

He deliberately used this simple and direct method to continue stimulating her brain, keeping her in a high-spirited, impulsive state.

Impulse is the opposite of reason.

Only by maintaining this ’impulsive’ state could he approach Ning Ke’er without any reservations.

On the contrary, the moment Ning Ke’er regained her reason, she would put on her protective color again and become unapproachable to strangers!
