Chapter 685: Chapter 0685: If He Goes, I Let Go
Su Guyan invited Qiu Ruoxi to dinner, but Ye Xunhuan dared not follow them to join the meal. Who knew what those two women were really up to?
Moreover, given Su Guyan’s personality, having just been caught by Qiu Ruoxi being together with her yesterday, she should have been avoiding Qiu Ruoxi, yet why was she seeking her out at this time?
What was she really intending?
Qiu Ruoxi agreed without any hesitation, giving off a sense of impending smoke from gunpowder.
After leaving Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan had made a call to Su Guyan, wanting to ask what Su Guyan was up to.
However, Su Guyan’s phone was unreachable, always answered by that cold, mechanical voice.
When it was time for lunch, Qiu Ruoxi left the company to keep her appointment with Su Guyan!
Although Ye Xunhuan had said in Qiu Ruoxi’s office that he would not go, by midday, he secretly followed her.
He just couldn’t feel at ease letting these two women sit together for a meal.
Who knew what kind of trouble could arise? It was better to follow them.
Only, if they ended up fighting, what should he do, hide and watch or break it up?
But then, who should he pull away?
Just thinking about it gave Ye Xunhuan a headache.
All the way there, Ye Xunhuan stealthily followed Qiu Ruoxi, and after about forty minutes, Qiu Ruoxi drove to Dengying Tower Restaurant!
Dengying Tower Restaurant was located near the beach in Jiangzhong City and was a rather upscale restaurant.
Moreover, Dengying Tower was constructed in an ancient style, standing like a pagoda on the ground, appearing very majestic and atmospheric. With a total of eighteen floors, it looked quite solemn from a distance, almost like a scenic spot!
Sitting on the top floor of Dengying Tower, one could see the scenery for miles around, and many wealthy people who came to the beach would choose to dine at Dengying Tower!
After Qiu Ruoxi drove to Dengying Tower, she went straight inside.
Since Qiu Ruoxi and Su Guyan had made a reservation earlier, upon entering and announcing Su Guyan’s name, the waiter led Qiu Ruoxi to the top floor.
Having followed Qiu Ruoxi to Dengying Tower, Ye Xunhuan showed a hesitant expression on his face, wondering whether to follow her upstairs or wait below?
While Ye Xunhuan was undecided, led by the waiter, Qiu Ruoxi had already entered the private room where Su Guyan was.
Today, Su Guyan was dressed in a tailored women’s suit, looking very stately and elegant!
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi, Su Guyan’s delicately made-up face immediately lit up with a beautiful smile, and she said softly, "Miss Qiu, please sit!"
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t stand on ceremony with Su Guyan and straightforwardly took a seat.
After Qiu Ruoxi had sat down, Su Guyan immediately asked the waiter to start serving the dishes.
The dishes had already been ordered by Su Guyan beforehand.
Inside the private room, Qiu Ruoxi did not speak, just calmly and gracefully looking at Su Guyan.
"Miss Qiu, honestly, I was surprised that you could come!" Su Guyan said softly.
"You inviting me was surprising too!"
In Qiu Ruoxi’s view, having been caught together with Ye Xunhuan by her, Su Guyan should have been avoiding her, but she was surprised that Su Guyan had instead invited her.
Su Guyan chuckled lightly, "Actually, before I invited you, I was very nervous and scared inside!"
"So you’re saying now you’re calm and collected?"
Qiu Ruoxi’s words were somewhat sharp.
Shaking her head, Su Guyan said, "No, I’m still uneasy and frightened, you know, no one is unafraid of their creditor, and right now, you are like my creditor!"
"Really?"
"Of course," Su Guyan said indifferently, "Regarding yesterday’s incident, I know you won’t believe me even if I explain, and I can’t explain it either."
Upon hearing Su Guyan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi gracefully picked up the teacup in front of her and softly sipped her tea, speaking softly, "So, you came to me to declare war?"
"No!" Su Guyan hurriedly said, "I merely wanted to explain things for Ye Xunhuan!"
A look of surprise appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s face!
"Hard to understand, isn’t it?" Su Guyan said with a bitter smile, "I don’t know what he’s like now, but I know he wasn’t good at soothing girls in the past."
"With what happened yesterday, he must be even more clueless," Su Guyan said lightly, "If I am not mistaken, he didn’t go back yesterday, did he?"
Qiu Ruoxi was slightly stunned—what did Su Guyan mean by that?
Could it be that Ye Xunhuan wasn’t with her last night?
"Last night, I told him to chase after you, to go back," Su Guyan said softly, as if seeing the thoughts inside Qiu Ruoxi’s mind, "But I think given his temperament, he definitely didn’t go back!"
"Instead, he went to find you this morning, right?"
"You know him well!"
"What I know is how he was in the past," Su Guyan said softly, "As for the present, I don’t know him, and I even know less than you do!"
"Is that so?"
"Believe it or not," Su Guyan looked at Qiu Ruoxi with a serious face and said, "Honestly, I am very envious of you!"
"You met him during the most beautiful years of your life, whereas I met him earlier, during a naive time, which is quite different from the most beautiful years!"
"You married him, are his wife, whereas I have already married Mu Tiange, and though our marriage has been declared a failure, I have to admit, I am a divorced woman who has been married, while you are his first wife!"
"Even if our past was beautiful, it is, after all, a thing of the past!"
Saying this, Su Guyan sighed softly.
"He is yours, in your presence, no matter what kind of woman, they are all merely vixens, none dare to flaunt themselves in front of you, because you hold their fate in your hands!"
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t speak, just quietly listening to Su Guyan’s words.
"He also cares a lot about you now, do you believe that?"
"I believe," Qiu Ruoxi said without a moment’s hesitation, "but he also cares a lot about you!"
Su Guyan smiled bitterly, "I know, Ruoxi, if his heart were a balance, you and I would definitely be equals in his heart!"
"Perhaps!"
"Miss Qiu, I came here today not to declare war on you nor to show off, I merely wanted to tell you, in the fleeting years, if one does not know how to grasp and cherish, it will pass hastily!" Su Guyan said indifferently, "Rest assured, I won’t affect your relationship, I will place myself in the right position..."
"Su Guyan, you’ve said so much, you merely want to tell me that if you choose to fight, I will definitely lose!" Qiu Ruoxi interrupted Su Guyan bluntly, "Even though I don’t know what exactly is going on between you two!"
"But I, Qiu Ruoxi, have not lost to you!" Qiu Ruoxi said emphatically, "What I lost to was merely a past that ended before I could be a part of it!"
"If you and I were from the same era, you would definitely lose!"
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s resolute demeanor, Su Guyan revealed a smile on her face, "Miss Qiu, you are too confident!"
"How about we make a bet?"
"Bet?" Qiu Ruoxi said expressionlessly, "I won’t bet with you, not because I’m afraid of you, but because I won’t gamble with my man as the stake against someone else!"
"If he chooses to leave, I, Qiu Ruoxi, will surely let go; if he stays, your attempt to snatch him will be futile!"
