The world is so big, and this city isn't small either. Why did I run into him again? Gu Cheng, you're really persistent. I can see your cold face everywhere.
He never drank tea before. Why was he in the mood to come to the teahouse today? Could it be that he was discussing business with a client? Regardless of whether he had something important to do or was here to have fun, my mood instantly became unpleasant.
Thinking of the last time Gu Cheng suddenly asked me to get out of the car with a dark face, my heart couldn't help but ache. I didn't want to appear in front of him again. In order not to let Gu Cheng notice me, I reached out and fiddled with a strand of hair to cover my smooth forehead. Then, I tiptoed and tried to walk behind him.
"Ye Qiu, are you alright?" Xiao Yang saw my messy hair and weak footsteps. He stood up nervously and said softly.
Xiao Yang's inopportune question startled Gu Cheng, who was sipping tea. He put down the ceramic teacup in his hand with a cold smile and looked back at me."Ye Qiu, what a coincidence. We're husband and wife, so why didn't you say anything when you saw me?”
I could have completely avoided Gu Cheng's eyes, but it was all Xiao Yang's fault for causing trouble. But now that I was completely exposed, I could only confront him head-on.
"There are so many people here, but I really didn't see you!”I glared at the self-righteous Gu Cheng and said unhappily.
Gu Cheng smiled wickedly and said in a low voice,"Didn't you say that only rich playboys would waste their time in wineries and teahouses? Why are you here today?”
"Time is different now, so our views have naturally changed.”I was about to turn around and leave when a middle-aged man sitting next to Gu Chengsheng suddenly smiled and said,"Gu Cheng, is she your ex-wife? Her words were quite interesting. Why don't you let her sit with you?”
Gu Cheng glanced at me and chuckled."Yes, she's my ex-wife, Ye Qiu. But whether she's willing to come with us depends on how much face you have.”
"Miss Ye, I've seen you a few times before. We'll meet again today. Come and sit with me.”The middle-aged man looked at me and smiled.
I don't want to sit and drink tea with Gu Cheng, this heartless thing. Besides, Xiao Yang is still waiting for me with a smile. I can't leave Xiao Yang alone just because of a sentence from someone I don't know.
"Sorry, my friend is still waiting for me!”In order not to let that middle-aged man think that I was stingy, I temporarily forgot about the harm Gu Cheng had done to me and squeezed out a gentle smile.
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yang and nodded,""Since Miss Ye has already made an appointment with someone else, then I won't force you.”
Before I could say anything to the middle-aged man, Gu Cheng glanced at Xiao Yang and asked me in a low voice,""Is he your new boyfriend? He's handsome and refined. He's quite compatible with you. I believe you'll definitely be very happy in the future!”
Hearing Gu Cheng's words, I couldn't help but be shocked. What's wrong with this guy today? He actually talks so much. He heartlessly abandoned me for that vixen Yao Rao and has long become a passerby with me. What does my happiness have to do with him? He and Yao Rao are about to give birth to a baby. If I say that Xiao Yang is just an ordinary friend, he will definitely think that I can't forget my old relationship and still can't let go of him. There are many men in the world. I, Ye Qiu, don't look shabby, so how can I not have a boyfriend? Doesn't Gu Cheng already know that I'm dating Lu Kai? Then I might as well use Xiao Yang as a cover today and let Gu Cheng, this bastard, know that after I, Ye Qiu, divorce a scumbag like him, there are a bunch of outstanding men waiting to marry me.
"You're right. He's my boyfriend. He treats me very well!”I smiled proudly.
"Then I wish you well. Remember to invite me to your wedding.”A smirk flashed across Gu Cheng's face as he said in a low voice.
However, I was confused by his evil laughter. Subconsciously, I felt that Gu Cheng seemed to know that I was lying. In order not to expose myself in front of Gu Cheng, I forced a smile and nodded before quickly escaping from his territory.
Xiao Yang saw me coming over and smiled as he invited me to sit down. He said gently,""Are the two gentlemen beside you your friends?”
"Yes, sir! The man in the black suit is called Gu Cheng. He's my ex-husband!”I think Xiao Yang must have heard my conversation with Gu Cheng clearly. The reason why he didn't directly say that Gu Cheng was my ex-husband was probably because he was afraid of bringing up my sad memories. Since I treat Xiao Yang as a friend, I shouldn't hide anything from him. Moreover, I want Xiao Yang to know clearly that I'm really a useless woman who was abandoned by my ex-husband. I don't deserve to be with him.
Xiao Yang saw that I was calmly introducing Gu Cheng to him, and the worry in his heart immediately disappeared. He smiled and said,"I'm really happy for you that you can look at that man calmly. Let the past disappear from your mind completely. You will definitely have a happy future.”
"I hope so! That guy said the same thing." I glanced at Gu Cheng's back and said faintly.
Xiao Yang smiled." Cheer up. With me around, you will definitely be very happy in the future."”He heard the conversation between Gu Cheng and me clearly. He knew that I had admitted that he was my new boyfriend in front of Gu Cheng, so he was naturally overjoyed.
When I heard Xiao Yang's words, my face suddenly turned red. It wasn't because I was embarrassed by his bold confession, but because I felt that I shouldn't have used him as a shield just to compete with Gu Cheng. My heart had long been filled with Lu Kai's shadow. How could there be room for Xiao Yang? I really regretted letting my emotions affect me just now and letting Xiao Yang think that I had accepted him.
Xiao Yang saw that I was blushing and didn't say anything. He was even more certain of my attitude towards him. His eyes sparkled as he looked at me in a daze."I knew that you would accept me one day if I was late.”
In order to prevent Xiao Yang from falling deeper into my lie, I looked at him seriously and said,"Xiao Yang, I've always treated you as a friend. I only said that to deceive Gu Cheng.”
The smile on Xiao Yang's face froze as he widened his eyes.""Why? I don't want to be just friends with you. I want to protect you for the rest of my life.”
"I'm sorry, Xiao Yang. We can only be friends in this life. If you insist on going against my wishes, then we can only become strangers in the future.”In order to prevent Xiao Yang from continuing to fantasize about me and to prevent Gu Cheng from hearing my argument with Xiao Yang and seeing through my lie, I pretended to be angry and said with a straight face.
Xiao Yang saw that I was very angry. Zhu let out a long sigh and whispered,"Alright, let's not talk about these unpleasant things first. We agreed that you would accompany me for tea today.”
"Got it. What do you want to drink? Quickly call the waiter to serve tea.”Seeing that Xiao Yang was no longer entangled with me over love matters, I smiled slightly.
Xiao Yang looked at the tea menu on the table and smiled."I usually drink Longjing tea. How about I give you a pot of rose tea?”
"Sure. Roses are good for blood circulation and beauty.”In order to ease the tense atmosphere, I looked at Xiao Yang with a cute smile.
After a while, the waiter brought the two pots of tea we asked for to the table. Xiao Yang smiled and poured me tea. From the corner of my eye, I saw Gu Cheng and his friend preparing to leave. I hurriedly lowered my head, afraid that Gu Cheng would smile and greet me again, making me feel at a loss.
"Ye Qiu, your friend left." Xiao Yang said to me with a smile as he watched Gu Cheng and the others leave.
Only then did I slowly raise my head and smile as I picked up my teacup. The fragrance of the rose assailed my nose, and I couldn't help but take a sip. Immediately, a sweet taste went straight into my heart and spleen, making my entire person feel much more energetic. Thinking of what Gu Cheng said just now, I believe that all the suffering is over and my future will be very happy.
Xiao Yang looked at my intoxicated expression and smiled,"How does it taste?"
"Great. I won't drink coffee when I'm sleepy at work anymore.”I continued to sip my tea and chuckled.
Xiao Yang nodded." That's right. Drinking too much coffee affects the absorption of calcium. It's not suitable for girls to drink at all."”
Looking at Xiao Yang's charming smile, I actually felt warm all over. If it wasn't for the fact that the first person to enter my heart was Lu Kai, I think Xiao Yang would definitely be my best partner in the future. However, once a relationship is committed, there is no way out. I knew that Lu Kai was already married to Yun Shu, but I still chose to turn a blind eye to Xiao Yang's thoughtfulness because I was sure that God would not arrange for me to meet Lu Kai again for no reason. We were destined to have a story, and the love from seven years ago was very likely to bear fruit.
Xiao Yang looked at me thoughtfully and gently asked,""What are you thinking about? Why are you so serious?"
"It's nothing. I thought of my old classmate's wedding today and felt that they were very happy.”I casually replied when I heard Xiao Yang's question. Even though Yun Shu was terminally ill and her marriage with Lu Kai was a tragedy, she was still a blessed woman in the world to be able to hold hands with the person she loved and walk down the aisle of marriage today, even if the cancer pain would make her wish she was dead.
Xiao Yang took a sip of tea and said,""Don't envy others. Give yourself more opportunities and you will also get a happy love.”
I knew what Xiao Yang meant. I shook my head sadly and said,"No, I'm afraid that good luck will never befall me again.”Lu Kai has already married Yun Shu. Whether she lives or dies, she will forever be in Lu Kai's heart, and my love can only wither in the darkness.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Only by opening your heart can you welcome the sun.”Xiao Yang looked at me seriously.
I also want to be as happy as other women, but in this life, I've already decided on Lu Kai, so how can I easily accept the love of others? There's no right or wrong in love, and there's no charity. I won't give Xiao Yang love just because I feel that I owe him. The road of life is long. Meeting him is fate. I will cherish this colleague's friendship, but I will never waste his true feelings because of a moment of loneliness and emptiness.
I held the teacup and looked out the window. The streets were crowded with people. Everyone wanted their own happiness, but how many people could truly be happy forever? The beautiful past between Gu Cheng and me is still vivid in my mind, but now he is someone else's husband, so I don't expect to be happy. I only care about the fact that I really loved him.
