Beijing Colors Lingering

Upon hearing Qiao Yunshu's words, He Sinian immediately stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you home. I have nothing to talk to her about."

It was only then that Lu Youwei noticed that there was a woman standing next to He Sinian. She couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman. She had a delicate and gentle appearance, a shapely figure, and a fresh and refined temperament.

No wonder He Sinian didn't want to get back together with her; it turns out he already had another woman.

When did they get together?

If I had known this would happen, I should have gone back to China to find him sooner.

Qiao Yunshu smiled calmly upon hearing this, withdrew her hand, and said very understandingly, "It's okay, I'll go home by myself. You don't need to worry about me. Just talk things out."

“I have nothing to say to her anymore,” He Sinian replied without hesitation, then naturally put his arm around Qiao Yunshu’s shoulder and leaned close to her.

Faced with this sudden action, Qiao Yunshu was stunned and felt extremely uncomfortable.

He Sinian quickly noticed her reaction, moved slightly to the side, and gently stroked her shoulder with his fingers.

Qiao Yunshu pursed her lips, secretly exhaled, and then gradually relaxed.

When Lu Youwei saw the two of them standing intimately together, she froze, as if she had fallen into a deep abyss.

Lu Youwei looked up at He Sinian, and moved her lips, "She is..."

He Sinian interrupted Lu Youwei and introduced her directly: "She is my girlfriend, Qiao Yunshu. We will be getting engaged soon."

He paused for a second, a flash of disgust crossing his brow, and then said coldly, "Please stop bothering me like you used to. It's pointless."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in Lu Youwei's eyes, and she murmured, "We were so happy together back then, why did you have to break up with me?"

Upon hearing her words, He Sinian's face flashed with impatience again, and he retorted mercilessly, "When we were dating, what happiness was there?"

“Si Nian, I…” Lu Youwei bit her lip tightly.

He Sinian's patience ran out, and he ignored her, took Qiao Yunshu's hand, turned around and left, and walked into the elevator.

Lu Youwei stared intently at the two departing figures, and crystal-clear tears slid down her cheeks again, a bittersweet feeling rising in her heart.

He Sinian's words were like a sharp knife, ruthlessly stabbing at her.

A few minutes later, Lu Youwei's friend walked up to her and saw her with tears streaming down her face. She asked anxiously, "Weiwei, what's wrong?"

Lu Youwei sniffed and whispered, "I just ran into Si Nian, he already has a girlfriend..."

Her friend patted her on the back and sighed softly, "You only returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, so you don't know what happened. I forgot to tell you, the He family and the Qiao family announced their marriage alliance not long ago."

Lu Youwei was stunned upon hearing this, a sudden glimmer of hope appearing in her heart. She looked up at her friend, "An arranged marriage? Then they definitely don't have any feelings for each other..."

Her friend calmly advised her, "Weiwei, no matter what the situation is between them, there is no possibility of you and He Sinian getting back together. He has no feelings for you anymore, and you should let him go."

"If I hadn't been so annoying before, would I still be able to stay with him?"

After Lu Youwei finished speaking, she covered her cheeks, and hot tears fell through her fingers as she sobbed silently.

Her friend shook her head and sighed helplessly, then patted her back again and continued to comfort her: "You can't stay stuck in the past forever; you have to look forward."

-

Meanwhile, a dark-colored Cullinan was driving on a wide road.

In the quiet and spacious carriage, He Sinian leaned back in his seat.

The neon lights outside the car window flickered, casting dazzling light and shadow on his profile.

On that handsome and refined face was a rather displeased expression; his originally pleasant and comfortable mood had been ruined by the sudden appearance of Lu Youwei.

Qiao Yunshu glanced at He Sinian discreetly and saw that his face was still very sour. This was the first time she had seen him with such an expression since they met.

Qiao Yunshu couldn't help but recall the scene from earlier. There must be some story between He Sinian and his ex-girlfriend, and it might even be quite dramatic.

He Sinian quickly noticed Qiao Yunshu's thoughtful expression out of the corner of his eye, then turned to look at her and suddenly asked, "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

Qiao Yunshu paused for a second, her thoughts gradually returning. After considering her options carefully, she asked, "Didn't you say last time that you had no contact with your ex-girlfriend?"

"I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, and it was purely by chance that I ran into her today."

He Sinian felt wronged and helpless. He told Qiao Yunshu the truth, and he really had no contact with his two exes.

His attitude towards relationships has always been decisive and clean; he even deleted the contact information.

He never expected to meet Lu Youwei tonight.

Qiao Yunshu nodded slightly upon hearing this. Judging from He Sinian's reaction, he naturally believed what he said.

Qiao Yunshu recalled the conversation between He Sinian and his ex-girlfriend, and a burning desire for gossip ignited within her. She tentatively asked, "So what's going on between you two? Your ex-girlfriend probably still likes you, right? I just heard her say she wants to get back together with you."

He Sinian raised his hand to press his temples, a hint of helplessness and frustration flashing in his eyes. After a moment of contemplation, he explained slowly:

"She was the one who pursued me first, and I developed feelings for her too, which is why we started dating. But after a few months, I felt that we weren't a good match, so I broke up with her."

"However, she was unwilling to break up and only gave up after pestering me for a while. Then she disappeared from my life. I really didn't expect to run into her at the restaurant tonight, and I didn't expect her to be as annoying as before."

He Sinian did not reveal the specific reasons for their separation.

When He Sinian and Lu Youwei were together, there were no conflicts at first, and the two got along very well.

However, it wasn't long before Lu Youwei gradually revealed her insane possessiveness.

She demanded that He Sinian reply to her messages instantly at all times. She would become suspicious whenever she saw a woman around He Sinian and would always try to check his phone to make him delete the contact information of his female friends.

Later on, she did nothing at all. Every morning, she would arrive at He Sinian's house on time and then go to work at his company with him.

And just like that, He Sinian's remaining affection for her vanished completely, and he decisively broke up with her.

However, Lu Youwei disagreed, and her reaction was very strong at the time. Afterwards, she often went to He Sinian and begged him to get back together in a humble manner.

He Sinian was extremely annoyed by this and used some extreme measures to get the Lu family to send Lu Youwei abroad, which finally made her give up on him.

After listening, Qiao Yunshu remained silent for a long time, not knowing what to say. He Sinian's expression when he looked at his ex-girlfriend was one of extreme disgust.

If a man is heartless, nothing a woman can do will make a difference.

Seeing that Qiao Yunshu remained silent, He Sinian pondered for a while and then said, "Don't worry, I will handle Lu Youwei's matter. She will not bother us anymore."

Qiao Yunshu blinked, feeling that what He Sinian said sounded strange.

But in the end, she simply nodded and replied softly, "Okay."

After sending Qiao Yunshu home, He Sinian immediately dialed his assistant's number and ordered in a deep voice, "Go and warn the Lu family that if Lu Youwei appears in front of me or goes to see Qiao Yunshu again, they should be prepared to bear all the consequences."

"Yes, Mr. He," the assistant on the other end of the phone replied immediately.
