The three of them found a hot pot restaurant with the highest reviews nearby.
During the ordering process, the only sounds of conversation were between Gu Erya and Xu Yue, and Ye Mingqian on the side didn't know where her mind was going, her eyes were hazy.
Xu Yue quickly noticed Ye Mingqian's abnormality.
Ye Mingqian rarely gets distracted as long as she is out with herself. What happened today?
Xu Yue then wondered who was the initiator of all this.
Chi Yanchen.
Xu Yue bit her chopsticks tightly, raised her eyes and stared at Ye Mingqian, sighing.
"Go and add some dipping sauce for me." Xu Yue pushed Gu Erya next to her and said.
Gu Erya paused, his eyes flickering between Xu Yue and Ye Mingqian, and he suddenly realized.
Xu Yue watched Gu Erya leave until he was completely out of sight, tapping her fingers on the table with a crisp sound.
"Are you so unwilling to have a meal with me? You're absent-minded."
Xu Yue glanced at her mouth, pretending to be displeased.
Xu Yue's words forced Ye Mingqian to come back to her senses. She stared at Xu Yue blankly, speechless.
Xu Yue looked deeply at Ye Mingqian, sighed, and took her hand.
"You still can't let him go, right?"
One sentence illuminated the darkness in her heart like the sun.
Seeing that Ye Mingqian's face was finally a little moved, not like a marionette, Xu Yue's face showed a hint of joy.
"I can understand that it is not easy to completely let go of someone you once loved deeply." Xu Yue patted the back of Ye Mingqian's hand as if to comfort him.
Ye Mingqian raised his eyes, rarely seeing tenderness in Xu Yue's eyes, and knew that she was consoling him sincerely.
She couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness slowly rising in her heart.
She thought that after so many years, it would be easy to forget someone, so that when she was in country F, she thought she had already forgotten Chi Yanchen.
But when she saw Chi Yanchen for the first time after returning to China, and the moment their eyes collided, she knew that all her mental defenses over the past five years had failed.
"You have explained it to Chi Yanchen now, and there should be nothing to do with it in the future. There will be a long time to come, so you can slowly forget about him."
Xu Yue raised her head and took a sip of beer, waved her hand casually and said: "Are you afraid that there will be no men in this world? If you want to play, I will take you to play later!!"
"Don't let your guy overhear it." Ye Mingqian couldn't help but joke.
Hearing Ye Mingqian's words, Xu Yue's hand holding the wine bottle tightened, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
But soon that look was covered up by her, Xu Yue pretended not to care and said: "I'm not afraid of being heard by him."
"Gu Erya is here."
Xu Yue's face tensed up instantly.
Ye Mingqian burst into laughter and felt much better.
"Ye Mingqian, how dare you lie to me!!" Xu Yue, realizing that she had been deceived, glared angrily at Ye Mingqian and threw away Ben's hands that were holding her tightly.
Ye Ming smiled lightly, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
Xu Yue was right. She has now parted ways with Chi Yanchen, and they will definitely not see each other again.
Even if they meet, according to Chi Yanchen's temperament, he will never look back to him again, and their relationship will end here.
As long as Chi Yanchen appears less in her sight in the future, she believes that she will gradually forget about this person.
And all the memories associated with him.
Noon on the second day.
Shu Qiaoqiao stepped into Tengtian Building with a hand-held thermos bucket and high heels.
Every employee who passed by her nodded respectfully and said hello, "Hello, Mrs. Chi."
This made Shu Qiaoqiao feel happy both physically and mentally, and the smile on his face grew stronger.
Shu Qiaoqiao took the CEO's special elevator to Chi Yanchen's office. Zhong Xiaolan, who was sitting at the door, saw it and stood up immediately.
"Mrs. Chi, Mr. Chi is processing documents inside."
Shu Qiaoqiao glanced at Zhong Xiaolan, raised her hand and shook the thermos bucket in her hand, and said in a calm tone: "I'll deliver food to Achen."
Zhong Xiaolan knew that her argument with Shu Qiaoqiao was wrong, so she pursed her lips and watched her go.
Shu Qiaoqiao stood at the door and knocked lightly.
"Enter."
Shu Qiaoqiao opened the door gently, with a smile on her face: "Achen."
He thought it was Zhong Xiaolan who was here to deliver the documents, but unexpectedly he saw the face he least wanted to see at the moment.
Chi Yanchen paused, his eyes darkened a little, and his originally indifferent face added a little more gloom.
Shu Qiaoqiao felt that the temperature around her dropped a few degrees due to her arrival.
She knew that Chi Yanchen didn't want to see her because of that woman.
So much time has passed, and he still doesn't want to accept himself.
But it doesn't matter, since that woman is dead now, Achen can only focus on himself.
She believes that as long as she works hard, Achen will see her one day.
Such thoughts flashed through Shu Qiaoqiao's mind, and the smile on her face became even wider.
It seemed like victory was just around the corner.
"Achen, this is the lunch I prepared for you. I have been preparing it all morning!" Shu Qiaoqiao put the thermos bucket aside, but did not forget to feel sympathy for himself, "The oil pan almost splashed on me."
Unexpectedly, Chi Yanchen didn't even raise his head, still buried in the pile of documents, and even his tone was very cold.
"I have already eaten."
Actually no.
Chi Yanchen didn't want to have any contact with Shu Qiaoqiao, not even a conversation.
It was all because of Shu Qiaoqiao that there was a gap between him and Qianqian.
Chi Yanchen's words were obviously within Shu Qiaoqiao's expectation. Instead of being angry, she smiled and opened the lid of the thermos bucket.
What was placed in front of Chi Yanchen was a love lunch, which clearly showed the chef's care.
A pleased look flashed across Shu Qiaoqiao's face, and he couldn't help but pay attention to Chi Yanchen's reaction with his peripheral vision.
Chi Yanchen raised his head this time and glanced at the love lunch lightly, but then lowered his head again.
"If you don't have the talent, don't do it."
Chi Yanchen's denial directly made Shu Qiaoqiao cold-faced.
But because the relationship between the two is already very tense, if she falls out again now, she is afraid that the relationship between the two will fall into dire straits again.
Although the two of them look very loving in front of everyone.
But this kind of thing can't be hidden from the first grade of junior high school, but it can't be hidden from the fifteenth grade.
Shu Qiaoqiao was afraid that without the support of their relationship, this illusion would be shattered sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Shu Qiaoqiao twitched the corners of her mouth and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"You can eat some more after you've eaten. This is what I wanted all morning." Shu Qiaoqiao's words had an obvious hint of coquettishness.
But Chi Yanchen didn't accept this trick.
"If you don't eat it, don't do it next time."
After saying this, Chi Yanchen lowered his head and continued to process the documents, as if Shu Qiaoqiao was the air and he didn't care.
