"He’s doing well. Master and his wife are very much in love. They’re getting ready for a trip to Europe, and they asked to send their regards to you," Zi Yunsui said, a hint of envy in his eyes when he ntioned Qi Lingfeng.
Perhaps Qi Lingfeng is the happiest of all! Zi Yunsui thought. And yet... there’s sothing else I want to tell her.
"By the way, the wife Master found looks a lot like you," Zi Yunsui told Hua Xiaomo.
Hua Xiaomo was taken aback, then broke into a smile.
"Are you talking about Yuan Youya?" Hua Xiaomo asked with a smile.
"Yuan Youya? The girl we t in Arica, at an Arican University? And now she’s married to Master, and they seem really happy together," Zi Yunsui said, looking at Hua Xiaomo, a glimr of light in his eyes.
For so reason, he sensed a profound emotion hidden deep within Hua Xiaomo, one not easily reached. He desperately wanted to get closer to her, to understand her true feelings. Yet, the closer he tried to get, the faster she seed to withdraw, preventing him from reaching the depths of her heart.
"Yuan Youya really is a good match for Qi Lingfeng. They both seem to genuinely care for each other; it’s a really good feeling," Hua Xiaomo said. A sudden thought struck her: I actually miss Qi Lingfeng quite a bit!
After all, I was with him for nine years, and Qi Lingfeng helped so much during that ti, teaching so many things.
"Yeah, as long as two people care for each other, they can definitely be happy – that’s really well said," Zi Yunsui smiled. He brushed his long hair back from his forehead, accentuating his handso features.
Hua Xiaomo looked at Zi Yunsui and was suddenly reminded of Ye Xiangxue.
"Speaking of which, Zi Yunsui, I’m thinking of bringing a good friend of mine back to the company," Hua Xiaomo said to him.
I didn’t expect Hua Xiaomo to discuss such a matter with , Zi Yunsui mused. After all, it’s trivial. She doesn’t really need to inform . The company is mine, and as chairman, I have the authority to decide on many things. "You can decide on that sort of thing yourself; you don’t need to tell ," he laughed.
"Well then, I’ll make the decision. The girl’s na is Ye Xiangxue. I hope you’ll get along well with her, Zi Yunsui," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile.
Zi Yunsui nodded without saying a word, glancing at the ti.
"It’s almost dinnerti. Would you care to join for a al?" Zi Yunsui asked Hua Xiaomo.
"Sure, where do you want to go?" Hua Xiaomo nodded, her eyes shining faintly.
"Let’s go wherever you like; I’m actually very easy to please," Zi Yunsui said with a smile, his eyes sparkling as he quickly draped a casual suit jacket over his shoulders.
He looked particularly dashing.
Hua Xiaomo watched him. He really is a tall, handso, and distinguished young man, and so young too – only twenty-three this year! And I’m three years older than him! In fact, I’ve only ever seen him as a younger brother.
But isn’t this the pri of his life? He should be dating more, instead of being cooped up at work, Hua Xiaomo thought. In the future, I must work harder for the company so he can have ti for his own life.
"360 Degree Perfect Restaurant," Hua Xiaomo suddenly recalled the restaurant’s na and said it aloud.
"No problem, let’s go now." Zi Yunsui nodded, then, with one hand in his trouser pocket, accompanied Hua Xiaomo to the 360 Degree Perfect Restaurant.
「360 Degree Perfect Restaurant.」
When Hua Xiaomo stepped into this place once again, she was suddenly filled with a flood of emotions.
I still rember the complex feelings I had when I ca here with Qi Longbing. Qi Longbing once told the minimum charge here was 20,000 yuan. Per person! At the ti, I thought it was so extravagant. Even though Qi Longbing could pay for and was very generous, using soone else’s money always felt sowhat embarrassing. Yes, I’m just not used to this kind of lifestyle. I prefer to live freely and easily.
"Have you been here with him before?" Zi Yunsui easily picked up on sothing. They must have many mories here, he surmised.
"I have been here before, but I don’t rember it anymore," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile, then found a seat and quickly ordered.
They chatted while eating but didn’t delve into any specific topics, mostly making small talk.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious. Yet, for so reason, it was in places like this that one often encountered people one would rather avoid.
Qi Longbing ca over with his girlfriend Pan Yutong.
"It’s a small world! Bumping into him again," Zi Yunsui said, his tone nonchalant, his gaze already drifting towards Qi Longbing.
However, he didn’t say anything else; he just looked at Hua Xiaomo across from him. A pang of heartache struck him as he saw the gloom in her eyes.
"Xiao Mo, are you full? How about we leave now?" Zi Yunsui suggested. She looks so uncomfortable seeing that man, he thought. We shouldn’t stay here any longer.
"Alright," Hua Xiaomo nodded and was about to signal for the bill.
Unexpectedly, Qi Longbing had already spoken first. "I’ll take care of the bill for their table."
Zi Yunsui looked slightly displeased, but he quickly said, "There’s no need for President Qi to trouble himself! We’ll pay our own bill."
"Business isn’t just about profit, but about courtesy too, right? You ca all the way from City B to our City A; it’s only right that I play host, isn’t it?" Qi Longbing said with a smile, then glanced at the silent Hua Xiaomo. I really want to see just how interesting her expression is right now.
Just monts ago in the bridal shop, she was so pliant beneath , and now she can laugh and chat with another man. Her composure is truly impressive! An unconscious wave of hatred surged in his heart.
Just as Zi Yunsui was about to say sothing more, Hua Xiaomo interjected, "Since President Qi insists, then we’ll trouble you to settle the bill. Zi Yunsui, let’s go." Hua Xiaomo said no more and quickly brushed past Qi Longbing.
Just encountering him again makes feel even more awkward. Yes, I won’t forget what he just did to . It makes hesitate, filling with such a resentful, heartbroken feeling. Why must they tornt each other like this when they’re no longer together, no longer in love?
