Chapter 1084: It makes me look petty and brainless

Qiu Qiu Keying nodded very honestly.

"Am I very stupid?"

Shen Ci was a bit helpless, but she said bluntly: "Yes."

"However, this can't be blamed entirely on you. Based on my understanding of Li Xiao, I can understand anyone being deceived by him. Because he is good at disguising and performing; it would be a pity if he didn't go into acting."

Shen Ci clearly had the right to speak on this, and she had no qualifications to mock Qiu Qiu Keying, after all, she had suffered the same loss.

If it came to being miserable, she felt she was more miserable than Qiu Qiu Keying, because Li Xiao's betrayal and hurt left her with a shadow that never faded for a lifetime.

Qiu Qiu Keying lowered her head and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Since you knew what kind of person he was, you didn't remind me."

Shen Ci widened her eyes in disbelief at her.

After a long while.

"Beauty, you used to treat me like a thorn in your side as if you had lost your mind. Every time you saw me, you wished you could crush me. Would you really have believed me if I reminded you?"

Shen Ci laughed angrily: "You would only say that I was bad-mouthing him because I couldn't get Li Xiao, and then scold me even more fiercely, right?"

Qiu Qiu Keying's guilt was visible to the naked eye, and her head buried lower and lower.

Because she had been full of only Li Xiao before, and only Li Xiao's good, she couldn't tolerate anyone saying a bad word about him.

Seeing her looking so pitiful, Shen Ci sighed with pity.

"Let's go, come upstairs with me."

"Huh?" Qiu Qiu Keying raised her face, blinking her walnut eyes in confusion: "What for?"

Shen Ci looked at her and said seriously: "To be honest, the impression you gave me was always that of a delicate porcelain doll. I thought yesterday's incident would make you depressed, at least crying for ten days or half a month before stopping, but I didn't expect you to make an appointment to see me the next day."

"You making this appointment also surprised me quite a bit. I underestimated you before."

Qiu Qiu Keying didn't feel happy because of Shen Ci's words, but instead pouted and muttered: "I don't have that many tears to shed."

Shen Ci smiled: "The spa has a new batch of equipment. I'll take you up to do a facial and eye treatment to reduce the swelling. We can chat while doing the project if you have anything to say."

Hearing this, Qiu Qiu Keying's eyes clearly had some light: "New equipment?"

Sure enough, girls had no resistance to this kind of thing. Shen Ci also thought that when doing a spa, people's body and mind were the most relaxed, which could reduce some of Qiu Qiu Keying's spiritual pain.

"Yes, let's go. I haven't experienced it either."

Qiu Qiu Keying didn't refuse, stood up, and followed Shen Ci with her small bag.

At the "spa," as soon as Shen Ci appeared, the supervisor hurriedly stepped forward to welcome her.

"Miss Shen, are you doing a facial today?"

"Shuiyun Shuiyun Jian" had now changed from a joint venture to Shen Ci's alone. The management in the club knew about this, so their attitude toward Shen Ci became more and more respectful.

"My friend and I decided on it temporarily. Didn't you get new equipment?"

"Yes, the equipment arrived half a month ago, and the feedback so far has been very good." Having said that, the supervisor also reminded her proactively: "But Miss Shen, the VIP rooms are all booked for the afternoon. Why don't you take a rest, and I'll check with the reserved guests to see if any aren't coming."

Shen Ci certainly wouldn't lower the customer experience because of her temporary decision.

The VIP customers who could get membership cards here were all big spenders.

"No need to bother. Just arrange a regular room, but the spa therapist should have good techniques."

"Okay, no problem."

The supervisor agreed. When turning around, she subconsciously glanced at Qiu Qiu Keying beside Shen Ci. Although she was crying with swollen eyes, the supervisor still recognized her.

"Miss Qiu? It's you, long time no see."

Qiu Qiu Keying pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty: "Long time no see."

She had originally been a diamond card member here, but because she offended Shen Ci, her membership status was stripped on the spot.

Since then, Qiu Qiu Keying had never stepped into "Shuiyun Shuiyun Jian" again.

Although there was no VIP room to enjoy, the regular rooms here were also very elegant. While Shen Ci and Qiu Qiu Keying were changing clothes, the service staff brought high-end fruits, juice, and red wine one after another.

The bathrobe was also silk, very skin-friendly and comfortable to wear.

Qiu Qiu Keying couldn't help but sigh: "It's still better here. The beauty salons I found later were all lacking."

Shen Ci smiled without a word. After preparing, she lay on the bed first.

The beautician pushed the cart in, and the products on it were all high-end line products of the beauty salon. If one wanted to enjoy such a luxurious spa here, it would cost nearly a thousand yuan even after the member discount.

The healing fragrance lingered in the breath, accompanied by the beautician's gentle and professional techniques, and neither of them spoke voluntarily at first.

"Actually, this is also good," after a long while, Shen Ci suddenly said softly: "At least everything is still in time, which is better than you getting married and having children before knowing these things."

Thinking about things from another angle could always provide some comfort.

Qiu Qiu Keying replied: "I've been telling myself that too. If yesterday was a wedding banquet instead of an engagement banquet, the situation would only be worse."

"There is also a piece of good news," Shen Ci suddenly said.

Qiu Qiu Keying lay on her back and looked at her sideways: "Hmm?"

"Li Xiao's dad was so angry he fainted."

Qiu Qiu Keying's beautiful brows tightened, and she cleverly grasped the point: "How do you know?"

Shen Ci didn't need to hide it anymore: "Because the Gui Li Hotel is also mine. I was at the scene when things happened yesterday."

Qiu Qiu Keying: "..."

"If yesterday's incident hadn't happened, your engagement banquet would have been very perfect. You planned it very well; I felt it at the scene," Shen Ci said softly: "I knew early on that you were going to hold the engagement banquet at my hotel. I never thought about ruining your engagement banquet, because I don't hate you, and I don't even dislike you."

"That just makes me look even more petty and brainless," Qiu Qiu Keying said in a low voice.

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't mean that. I just think it's quite magical that we two are having a spa together. This also just shows that my judgment was right—you are a simple person at heart, just a simple 'love-brain'."

Qiu Qiu Keying didn't refute the three words "love-brain," and she couldn't refute them either.

It was just that her next sentence surprised Shen Ci a bit.

"Actually, I don't think Li Xiao really likes me."

Her voice was very low, wrapped in a trace of grievance, as if it took a lot of effort to say this sentence.

Or rather, it took a lot of courage to face this matter head-on, to face the fact that Li Xiao didn't like her.

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Qiu Qiu Keying to have such a clear realization. ===== CHAPTER 1085 =====
