Chapter 679: Chapter 0679: The Heart-Wrenching Pain of Qiu Ruoxi
In this world, there are few women who don’t enjoy a shopping spree, and Su Guyan was overjoyed when she heard that Ye Xunhuan was taking her out to shop.
Since it was during work hours, even in the afternoon, there weren’t many people in the mall, and Ye Xunhuan took Su Guyan to the most renowned Wanhe Sheng Mall in Jiangzhou City.
Mostly home to mid-to-high end international brands, it wasn’t a place where average citizens would shop for clothes, but it was perfect for a quiet date for the couple.
Although Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan had known each other for a long time, in the era they had met, there were hardly any large malls, and even if there were, they didn’t have the money to shop there!
If they ever went out, it was usually to food streets or shops with low-priced goods, so they had never been to a mall together before. This was their first time.
Su Guyan hooked her arm around Ye Xunhuan’s, looking like the picture of a woman deeply in love.
Perhaps because neither of them was short on money, they bought any clothes they liked on sight, and Su Guyan also bought two outfits for Ye Xunhuan.
Even though Ye Xunhuan couldn’t take them back with him, she, Su Guyan, could bring them to her place. She could keep them at home for Ye Xunhuan to wear whenever he visited; it would be exactly the same!
Su Guyan was just like Mei Hanqing and didn’t drag her boyfriend or husband around the shops tirelessly like other women might.
After shopping for around three hours, Su Guyan suggested they head back.
To say "head back" wasn’t quite right—it was more fitting to say they were going for afternoon tea.
And so, the afternoon passed quickly for Su Guyan and Ye Xunhuan.
When evening arrived, Ye Xunhuan made a call to Mother Wang to let her know he wouldn’t be home for dinner and then took Su Guyan out to a Western restaurant!
Inside the restaurant, the elegant piano music played gently and melodiously, slowly flowing by their ears.
Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan sat by a window, sipping red wine and eating their Western meal, their faces brimming with sweet and happy smiles.
In that moment, it was as if Su Guyan had once again returned to her student days.
Ye Xunhuan felt the same, as if time had flown backward, and they had returned to that naive and ignorant time.
The two, like most young couples or newlyweds, chatted softly and ate their meal with elegance!
The dinner was full of sweet affection.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was preparing to wipe his mouth with a napkin and leave with Su Guyan, she had already taken a napkin to wipe his mouth with proficient movements, as if she had practiced it a thousand times!
Ye Xunhuan neither dodged nor felt embarrassed, simply letting Su Guyan wipe his mouth.
While Su Guyan was wiping Ye Xunhuan’s mouth, at the corner of the restaurant, two professionally dressed women walked in, accompanied by several foreign men and women!
One of them, wearing a sleek black suit with her hair tied in a high bun, exuding a pure and elegant aura, walked ahead, while the other woman walked beside her, softly talking with the group of foreigners.
As soon as Su Guyan caught sight of this woman, her hand stilled, and Ye Xunhuan’s face was filled with astonishment at that moment.
Qiu Ruoxi, Mei Hanqing!
Su Guyan knew both women, especially Qiu Ruoxi, whom she could not possibly fail to recognize.
One reason was that they were now business partners, and secondly, because Qiu Ruoxi was now Ye Xunhuan’s wife.
However, Su Guyan never dreamed that she would run into Qiu Ruoxi here.
Wasn’t Ye Xunhuan just the same?
Well, great, not only did Qiu Ruoxi catch him red-handed, but Mei Hanqing did too.
As the saying goes, ’Three women make a drama,’ and now it’s literally a drama!
Qiu Ruoxi and Mei Hanqing both saw Su Guyan and Ye Xunhuan, and at the same time, they also saw Su Guyan wiping Ye Xunhuan’s mouth!
The action seemed very intimate and ambiguous.
Mei Hanqing was completely stunned. After the news conference, she went to look for Ye Xunhuan, but he wasn’t there. She had thought about calling him to ask, but she was afraid that he might be busy with something, not wanting to bother him.
So she didn’t call, but she never expected to run into Ye Xunhuan here, and even more so, to see him having dinner with Su Guyan.
Upon seeing the intimate actions between Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan, Qiu Ruoxi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Although her face remained unchanged, her cold eyes were filled with a bone-chilling coldness!
Although she had guessed yesterday that Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan might have rekindled their old flame, the sight before her was so impactful that she felt her heart tearing apart at that very moment. A soul-deep exhaustion and powerlessness quickly spread throughout Qiu Ruoxi’s entire being!
So much so that Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate body started to shake uncontrollably. If it weren’t for the fact that she was in a public place, if it weren’t for her gritting her teeth to hold on, if it weren’t for that last bit of pride in her heart, she may very well have fainted on the spot.
Qiu Ruoxi was inwardly uncomfortable, but wasn’t Mei Hanqing feeling the same?
People are selfish; no woman in the world wants to share a man with others.
Now, as Mei Hanqing has become a lover, she had thought that Ye Xunhuan would certainly have other women, but while thinking is one thing, seeing it is another matter entirely.
Watching Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan right in front of her, Qiu Ruoxi felt as if her most cherished toy was about to be snatched away, her heart filled with excruciating pain.
If not for the last shred of rationality left within her, she would have wanted to rush forward and stage a dramatic scene of confronting the other woman, just like any woman who sees her husband with another woman would.
Qiu Ruoxi endured, she did not step forward, nor did she make a scene; she just clenched her teeth!
Meanwhile, Mei Hanqing’s eyes were filled with complexity. She could imagine that if she felt bad herself, Qiu Ruoxi, the legitimate wife, must feel far worse upon seeing her husband with another woman!
Qiu Ruoxi’s heart must be in agony, right?
At that moment, Mei Hanqing was filled with bitterness. Perhaps she shouldn’t have let Qiu Ruoxi come to join these brand representatives for dinner today?
After the press conference, as the host, she naturally had to take care of the brand representatives.
So they came here for dinner, but they didn’t expect to run into Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan.
Is it fate?
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi took her gaze back, forcibly enduring the heart-wrenching pain, pretending not to see Ye Xunhuan and Su Guyan, and walked step by step towards the outside.
With each step, Qiu Ruoxi seemed to exhaust all her strength, her complexion grew paler by the minute.
Yet she had to put on a façade of indifference, feigning a smile and conversing with the brand representatives! 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
