Chapter 537: 537, The relationship is not ordinary
Feeling downhearted, Song Qinghuan stepped outside and looked at the table she had been sitting at, her gaze finally landing on Shi Yuhuan.
His eyes were on Zhan Jie. Zhan Jie must have said something fun, because he raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
To Song Qinghuan, this sight was a painful stab to the eyes. A phrase suddenly sprung to her mind, “The new love laughs, caring not about the tears of the old.”
Oh, men, so fickle in love and of such little faith! Falling in love with each woman they meet!
But maybe that’s incorrect. Zhan Jie was the old love, and she was the new one… a new love who had never really had her place.
This thought made Song Qinghuan feel pitiful and desolate. She can’t even begin to describe the mess of emotions in her heart!
She felt she should rush up, grab Shi Yuhuan by the collar, lift him to his feet, and demand to know what he meant by his actions.
The one who was whispering sweet nothings to her in her bed last night was today cozily flirting with another woman.
But, she realized, she was really useless.
She didn’t confront Shi Yuhuan. Instead, she left the restaurant outright.
Because deep down, she had the suspicion that Shi Yuhuan must have a reason for his actions. She didn’t know if it was her instincts coming to life, or love blinding her.
Luckily, she always carried her phone around. So she called Bi Yuntao and asked him to bring her coat and bag outside.
In the cold winter night, snowflakes danced in the dim sky. A thick layer of snow draped the roads. Song Qinghuan shivered, huddled within herself, and leaned unsteadily against the wall.
Thankfully, Bi Yuntao was timely. He brought her bag and coat outside; otherwise, with no money for a cab and without a coat, she might’ve frozen to death against the wall.
“Qinghuan, what’s wrong? What happened?” Bi Yuntao’s gentle voice sounded in her ear, full of concern.
Song Qinghuan looked up at him. Bi Yuntao was, in fact, quite a good man. Not outstandingly handsome nor the kind to stand out in a crowd, but he always gave off an upfront, gentlemen-like feel.
He said he wanted to pursue her, but his eyes hidden behind those glasses held only wisdom, devoid of any lust.
Because of this, his chasing her seemed more like a joke to her.
“Thank you, I’m fine,” Song Qinghuan forced a smile, her voice weak.
Bi Yuntao frowned, “Did you leave suddenly because of Director Shi?”
“Director Shi? What’s it got to do with him,” Song Qinghuan snapped, not liking it one bit when Shi Yuhuan was mentioned.
Bi Yuntao chuckled lightly, “No point in hiding it. I knew since the wedding. Anyone with eyes could see there was something between you two. The way you looked at him during today’s dinner gave it all away. You love Director Shi!”
Song Qinghuan was taken aback, but then she laughed. Suddenly, she gave a playful wink and asked him teasingly, “If that’s true, and there is something between Director Shi and me, would you still dare to pursue me?”
Without any hesitation, Bi Yuntao responded, “Yes!”
Song Qinghuan was confused, “Why?”
“Does one really need a reason to pursue the one they like?” Bi Yuntao naturally replied, albeit adding a questioning ‘right?’ at the end. Quite odd.
Song Qinghuan was flabbergasted, “Assistant Bi, you obviously don’t like me. So, why are you chasing me? I’m really curious.”
