On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle
Chapter 131: Imperceptible Tremor
She said "I'm sorry" to Huo Hangfan, picked up her handbag, and followed Xu Yuanmo's steps to leave. Huo Hangfan's eyes were dim, and he unconsciously clenched the engagement ring that was about to be given to her.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was subtle and silent. Xu Yuanmo spoke, his tone was rare and gentle with a hint of disbelief: "Xixi, I need you to help me review a design plan tonight. I believe in your vision."
Chu Xixi couldn't figure out his intentions, but she could only temporarily suppress her doubts. She didn't realize that her actions that night would bring unpredictable changes to her fate - the future trajectory between her and Xu Yuanmo had been quietly rewritten at this moment.
The two cars were traveling at night, under the starlight. Chu Xixi's heart was mixed with fear and expectation. The neon lights outside the car windows were flowing, reflecting her complex and deep eyes.
Chu Xixi was wearing a simple but exquisite black dress today, standing in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Originally, this day should have been the happiest day of her life, because she and her fiancé Huo Hangfan were going to register their marriage here. However, the night before, she accidentally discovered evidence of Huo Hangfan's cheating, and her heart was instantly soaked by the cold reality.
In sharp contrast, Xu Yuanmo, a man who had only been a passing guest in her life, appeared at this critical moment. His figure stepped from the sunshine into the shadow of the Civil Affairs Bureau, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion.
"Xixi, are you really going to do this?" Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and magnetic, his eyes fixed on Chu Xixi's face.
Chu Xixi held the wedding ring that was supposed to be exchanged in her hand. Her fingertips turned slightly white, but her voice was unusually calm: "I can't marry someone who betrayed me."
At this moment, Huo Hangfan came running over breathlessly, and when he saw Xu Yuanmo, his face changed. He strode forward and tried to pull Chu Xixi's hand: "Xixi, I can explain, it's not what you think..."
Chu Xixi coldly shook off his hand and threw the ring to the ground. The crisp sound and her broken heart echoed in the air. She turned to Xu Yuanmo and said, "I no longer believe in him. I no longer believe in love."
Xu Yuanmo understood the feeling of being cold, as he had experienced similar betrayal in the distant country of M. He gently walked to Chu Xixi and handed her a brown envelope: "If you are willing, there is a plane ticket inside. Please accompany me on a long journey."
Chu Xixi took the envelope and hesitated, but her inner impulse made her decide to take a risk. Just as the two were about to leave, Qin Shiyu hurried over, grabbed Chu Xixi's arm, and said anxiously: "Xixi, this is your chance, try a different environment, maybe there will be a new beginning."
Chu Xixi took a deep breath and nodded to Xu Yuanmo. Today, she would cut off all ties with the future she had imagined yesterday, and she was ready to follow Xu Yuanmo into the unknown. The two figures gradually faded away, leaving Huo Hangfan standing alone, facing the broken wedding ring and the dream in the dust.
When Chu Xixi entered the banquet venue, the lights were bright, the clothes were beautiful, and the place was bustling. She looked for Xu Yuanmo in the crowd. Finally, she saw him at the exit of the banquet hall. He was wearing a well-cut dark blue suit, and the exquisite buttons on his shirt showed his extraordinary taste.
He saw Chu Xixi, and his eyes shone brighter than before. He nodded to her and pointed to the table next to him, which was filled with a variety of mouth-watering delicacies.
"Ms. Chu, you look radiant tonight." Xu Yuanmo came over and pulled out a chair for Chu Xixi in a gentlemanly manner.
Chu Xixi smiled and expressed her gratitude. After sitting down, she noticed that he slowly walked to the chair opposite and sat down, his manners elegant and slow.
The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, and Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo had a very pleasant conversation. They talked about the trends in the design industry and shared their understanding and feelings about different cultures. Chu Xixi felt the background and heritage of the man beside her through the excitement of the dinner.
When they were halfway through the meal, the lady at the next table suddenly invited Chu Xixi: "Hi, Miss Chu, I heard that the works designed by your studio are always unique and the prices are quite high. Do you mind giving priority to the entrepreneurs here?"
Chu Xixi maintained an elegant smile and replied slowly: "Thank you for your kindness, but the design prices of our studio are always reasonable. If you need a design plan, please feel free to contact my team."
At this time, Xu Yuanmo put one hand under the table and gently touched Chu Xixi's knee, which was a comforting gesture. Chu Xixi turned her head and smiled and nodded at him.
The dinner was over, and Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo walked out of the auditorium side by side. The night breeze was cool, and she gently gathered the shawl on her shoulders.
"It's still early," Chu Xixi turned her head to look at him, "Would you like to accompany me to a place?"
Chu Xixi stood in front of the silver-white studio door, holding a light blue card in her hand. She had received it from an anonymous sender this morning. There was only one line of words on the card: "Last chance to meet our surprise in tomorrow's design competition." The handwriting was sharp and carried an unquestionable threat.
She looked at the doorplate with cold eyes. There was a golden sign on it - Huo Hangfan Design Studio. Yesterday, President Xu Yuanmo had just revealed this location to her, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions.
Chu Xixi was already furious, as this was exactly where her ex-boyfriend Huo Hangfan and his new partner Cheng Yaoyao openly challenged her. A few months ago, Huo Hangfan's betrayal almost broke Chu Xixi's heart, and his affair with Zhao Xueer caused an uproar throughout Jincheng.
When she opened the door, her design team was already waiting inside with determined eyes. Qin Shiyu came over and patted her on the shoulder, smiling with the excitement of battle: "Xixi, this time, we have to let them know who is the real king of design."
Chu Xixi nodded, her cold eyes like a sharp sword: "This time, we must not only win, but also make Huo Hangfan climb down from the peak he thinks he is on."
During the strategic discussion, Song Yian's arrival brought a touch of relaxation. As soon as he entered the room, he said with his signature frivolous laugh: "I heard that we are going to fight a good battle today? Miss Chu, do you need my help?"
Chu Xixi glanced at him and said, "Yes, tonight, I want Huo Hangfan's new product launch to become his nightmare."
At the dinner, Chu Xixi wore a silver-gray evening dress with simple and elegant lines, which made her temperament more cool and refined. When she stepped into the venue, all eyes turned to her instantly. Huo Hangfan's face changed, and he obviously didn't expect her to appear here.
Chu Xixi raised her head, her eyes as cold as ice, and met Huo Hangfan's eyes standing on the stage. The air seemed to freeze, and everyone's breathing seemed to stop at this moment. However, in this lightning moment, Chu Xixi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smug smile - the plan has just begun, and the show is far from over.
In the most high-end restaurant in Jincheng, Chu Xixi sat by the window, the glass in front of her reflected the city lights at night. She was wearing a simple little black dress, holding a scribbled note in her hand, gently stroking the handwriting. The note was from Huo Hangfan, and the content was an invitation to their annual anniversary dinner. Chu Xixi had no intention of going there, and her thoughts naturally drifted to the new project materials left in the design studio and her few remaining trusted partners.
The face of Xu Yuanmo suddenly appeared in her mind, the mysterious man who saved her in an accidental car accident. His cold expression and warm glances from time to time made Chu Xixi feel a tremor in her heart that she had never felt before. The business card he left behind was like an unknown invitation, challenging her curiosity. She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to meet this man, Xu Yuanmo, who seemed ruthless but secretly had feelings for her.
In the evening, Chu Xixi pushed open the door of the CR Group President's office. Xu Yuanmo stood in front of the window with his back to the door. His figure was cut like a sculpture, against the starry sky outside the window, looking lonely and unreachable. Chu Xixi's footsteps made him turn around, and their eyes met hesitantly in the air. At that moment, a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Xu Yuanmo's eyes, as if he was surprised by her appearance.
"Thank you for saving my life that day." Chu Xixi spoke, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice.
Xu Yuanmo nodded, with an imperceptible smile on his face, "I just showed up at the right time."
"Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked, her voice trying to remain calm but her eyes searching.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly approached her and said, "You can go somewhere with me."
"Where are we going?" Chu Xixi's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.
"A dinner party, a place that may be closely connected to your future." The deep meaning in Xu Yuanmo's words made Chu Xixi more curious.
After leaving CR Group, Chu Xixi returned to her apartment, but her thoughts could not calm down for a long time. What kind of scene will she see at the dinner tomorrow night, and how will it affect her future? She opened the window, and the night breeze blew, taking away the expectation and anxiety under the stars.
In the evening, Chu Xixi attended the dinner as scheduled, but she did not expect that there would be more than one familiar face at the dinner...
Chu Xixi walked on the red carpet in a beautiful custom-made evening gown, wearing a phoenix crown and a gorgeous bridal gown. She was as dazzling as a star. Facing everyone's gaze, she came to the banquet hall and walked to the center of the crowd in full view of everyone, like a fine piece of jewelry, radiant with brilliance.
Under the gaze of the crowd, she elegantly raised her glass and socialized with those she knew or had only heard of, with a proper smile on her face. Everyone she met at this dinner was so important, and perhaps a simple social interaction could open up many possibilities for the future.
That night, she was surrounded by celebrities, talking about various design trends and recent controversial projects. Xu Yuanmo made himself into an elegant celebrity with personality, calm in his tone and confident in his demeanor. He talked to her about design concepts and brought her a different perspective.
When the dinner reached its climax, he proposed to invite her to discuss some design topics in depth. Chu Xixi agreed without hesitation, because communication and learning were what she had always loved, and she didn't want to be left with only an empty result after the luxurious dinner.
When she nodded her head, Xu Yuanmo seemed to be grateful for a moment. After the dinner, Xu Yuanmo kept his word and sent someone to pick her up.
