680: Chapter 0680: Should I go find her and leave you behind?
Suppressing the heart-wrenching pain, Qiu Ruoxi walked out of the restaurant, joining i Hanqing in seeing off all the brand representatives to their cars, arranging for soone to take them to the hotel!
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t know how she had walked out of the restaurant, nor did she rember how she had sent these people off; she only knew that after they left, all the strength in her body seed to have been drained, making her whole body shake uncontrollably.
As if a breeze in the evening could have knocked her over to the ground!
Her delicate cheeks were filled with paleness, a single glance at her evoked heartache!
At this mont, she was like a fairy fallen to the mortal world!
i Hanqing, seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s pale face and the distress in her eyes, was overwheld with mixed emotions.
She knew about the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, and she was also Ye Xunhuan’s woman.
Seeing that scene, i Hanqing’s heart ached terribly, probably much like Qiu Ruoxi’s at this mont, right?
But the difference was, Qiu Ruoxi was the wife, out in the open, while she, i Hanqing, was the lover, fated to remain in the shadows!
For a ti, a complex and indescribable mix of emotions began to spread through her heart, and i Hanqing couldn’t help but wonder, what would it be like if she and Ye Xunhuan were caught by Qiu Ruoxi?
Although Ye Xunhuan had told i Hanqing that his marriage to Qiu Ruoxi was nothing but an arrangent by their parents, with no real feelings between them, now i Hanqing could clearly see that it wasn’t as Ye Xunhuan had said, that there were no feelings, only compromise.
Qiu Ruoxi cared about Ye Xunhuan, he was in her heart!
Taking a deep breath, i Hanqing approached Qiu Ruoxi: “Manager Qiu, are you all right?”
Qiu Ruoxi shook her head sowhat numbly, her entire being seed as if her soul had left her body, completely in a zombie-like state.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi like this, i Hanqing felt incredibly bitter; her heart was in turmoil, yet she couldn’t help but offer so comfort to Qiu Ruoxi.
Qiu Ruoxi was Ye Xunhuan’s wife, of this i Hanqing was aware, but Qiu Ruoxi didn’t know about her and Ye Xunhuan’s relationship.
i Hanqing only felt like the heavens were playing a huge joke on her.
From a woman’s perspective, although Qiu Ruoxi was her boss, she was also her rival in love, but now, she had to comfort her own boss and romantic rival, an irony too great to express!
“Manager Qiu, maybe things aren’t as you think, there’s nothing between the two of them…”
The more i Hanqing spoke, the more intense the bitterness on her face beca; even she didn’t believe her own words, how could the intelligent Qiu Ruoxi?
But what if she didn’t believe it?
What then?
Now i Hanqing could only comfort Qiu Ruoxi in this way, while deceiving herself by thinking that all she had seen was nothing but illusion.
“I’m fine,” Qiu Ruoxi shook her head, her voice low and hoarse: “It’s getting late, you’ve been busy all day, you should go back and rest early!”
“Manager Qiu, should I take you ho first?”
“No need!” Qiu Ruoxi shook her head again, her pale face showing no sign of emotional fluctuation: “I can go back by myself!”
“All right, I’ll be going now!”
With that, Qiu Ruoxi turned and walked towards a side, took out her car keys, unlocked the electronic lock, imdiately opened the car door and got in, then started the car, and with a press on the gas pedal, she left the place.
i Hanqing looked at the car getting farther away, her face filled with dejection, turned to look at the restaurant one more ti, then casually hailed a taxi and followed suit, leaving the area.
Qiu Ruoxi, the legitimate wife, hadn’t made a scene, and as his lover, she had even less right to make a fuss or say anything!
And at that mont, her heart was in turmoil, all she wanted was to leave the place.
Qiu Ruoxi hadn’t driven far before she stopped the car by the roadside, sitting in the vehicle in a daze, her eyes brimming with glistening tears.
But Qiu Ruoxi fought back the tears, not letting them fall from her eyes.
However, the calm didn’t last long, as tears uncontrollably started streaming down her face, and Qiu Ruoxi leaned on the steering wheel, shuddering.
anwhile, back in the restaurant!
Ye Xunhuan’s face was completely filled with bitterness, he hadn’t expected to be caught by Qiu Ruoxi, and to be seen with i Hanqing!
If it had only been i Hanqing, it might have been okay, but it was not just i Hanqing—it was the significant presence of Qiu Ruoxi.
His relationship with Qiu Ruoxi had been on the rise, but due to Su Guyan’s Empyrean Group moving to Jiangzhong City, their relationship had started to suffer a decline!
This was evident yesterday, and today’s incident with Qiu Ruoxi likely spelled an instantaneous drop to rock bottom for their relationship.
Every ti Ye Xunhuan thought about the resolute look in Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes as she left the restaurant, his heart ached!
Su Guyan, seeing the bitterness on Ye Xunhuan’s face, was full of remorse, “Xunhuan, I’m sorry, I…”
Before Su Guyan could finish, Ye Xunhuan interrupted her, “It’s nothing, she would have found out sooner or later!”
Su Guyan let out a wry smile, her previous encounters with Qiu Ruoxi had been rather pleasant, but now she probably despised her, didn’t she?
“You should go after her, check on her, explain things to her…”
“Let’s talk about it when I co back,” Ye Xunhuan sighed deeply and said, “Besides, this kind of thing can’t be clarified just like that, and I don’t even know how to explain!”
“But it’s still better to chase after her than not to!” Su Guyan said softly, “And your relationship with i Hanqing seems to be quite special, doesn’t it?”
Ye Xunhuan exhaled a heavy breath and without any concealnt said straightforwardly, “I’m sorry, she is also my woman!”
So things were bound to co out, it was just a matter of ti.
And in this world, there were no foolish won, only those who were willing to blindly play the fool for n.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Su Guyan’s face showed no surprise.
Although Su Guyan had been in a daze after seeing Qiu Ruoxi, once she ca to her senses, she noticed sothing off about i Hanqing, her eyes full of deep grievances, like those of a woman trapped in her chambers!
In that mont, Su Guyan’s heart had a premonition, and she vaguely guessed the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and i Hanqing.
Now, Ye Xunhuan’s frank admission had fully confird Su Guyan’s suspicions.
“It’s alright, I had guessed it!” Su Guyan whispered softly, “But Xunhuan, I think you should still go see Qiu Ruoxi, she must be very heartbroken right now…”
Ye Xunhuan looked at Su Guyan’s lightly made-up pretty face and said slowly, “If I go after her, do I leave you behind?”
Su Guyan had already given him so much, and the thought of leaving Su Guyan alone to chase after Qiu Ruoxi was sothing Ye Xunhuan felt reluctant to do, or perhaps he didn’t know how to let go.
