After seeing the true nature of the woman he had been pursuing, the CEO's wife cried and begged

Chapter Twenty-Three: Scenes of You Everywhere

Seeing that Xu Zirui had agreed.

He Yuqing was delighted.

However, in Xu Zirui's mind, He Yuqing only used him as an excuse to fool her parents.

Just like Xu Zirui's opinion of He Yuqing.

Jiang Xin angrily returned to the villa.

Looking at Jiang Xin's condition, Butler Wu immediately knew it was related to Dr. Xu.

"Mr. Jiang, would you like some food prepared?"

Butler Wu asked curiously, and Jiang Xin just glanced at him and nodded slightly.

At that moment, Butler Wu sighed.

"If Dr. Xu were here, the food he makes would definitely suit your taste."

Butler Wu looked regretful.

Jiang Xin frowned slightly, but her mind drifted back to the lunch she had eaten that day.

Memories gradually surfaced in my mind.

When Jiang Xin first tasted the medicinal cuisine prepared by Xu Zirui, her face was filled with surprise and delight.

That flavor was also the first time Jiang Xin had ever tasted it.

However, since the divorce, Jiang Xin has never had the chance to taste it again.

Thinking of this, a hint of helplessness appeared in Jiang Xin's eyes.

This flavor is probably something I'll never taste again.

Thinking back to what just happened...

Jiang Xin frowned; Xu Zirui was actually showing such favoritism towards that woman.

With a soft chuckle, Jiang Xin felt she had misjudged the person.

Just as I was thinking this, a sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Meng Chengze rushed in, his eyes still carrying a hint of reproach.

"Xinxin, why did you leave all by yourself?"

After saying that, Meng Chengze quickly stepped forward and placed the packed food on the table.

"You seem to be in such a hurry; you'll definitely be hungry later."

"I specially packed some local specialties for you."

Meng Chengze smiled and took out the food one by one.

Looking at the food on the table, Jiang Xin instantly lost her appetite.

Meng Chengze packed up some bright red, spicy stir-fries.

The only thing that wouldn't irritate my stomach was a cold dish.

Jiang Xin did not touch her chopsticks.

Just then, Butler Wu walked over and shook his head repeatedly after seeing the dishes on the table.

"How could we give these to President Jiang?"

After saying that, Butler Wu immediately ordered someone to bring the food that had been prepared in advance.

Meng Chengze frowned slightly and glanced at Jiang Xin again.

"Xinxin, I forgot you can't eat spicy food right now."

Meng Chengze's expression changed rapidly as he looked at Jiang Xin with reddened eyes.

Jiang Xin's heart softened, and she shook her head.

"It's okay, you're just doing this for my own good."

"You can eat these dishes yourself. I'll just eat something light."

Jiang Xin smiled and didn't pursue the matter further.

However, this scene displeased Butler Wu.

Of these four spicy dishes, one was a cold dish. Does Meng Chengze really care about President Jiang as he claims?

Was it intentional or unintentional?

The next morning, Xu Zirui was woken up by Chen Huifang.

When Xu Zirui returned yesterday, he told Chen Huifang that he was going out today.

"Since you've already made plans with Qingqing, why don't you hurry up?"

Chen Huifang considered this a major event in her life.

Naturally, constant monitoring is necessary.

Xu Zirui said helplessly, "Mom, we're just going to an art exhibition, we're not doing anything."

"You don't need to wake me up so early."

Xu Zirui had barely finished speaking when Chen Huifang became displeased.

"Isn't that a date?"

"If you go earlier, Qingqing will definitely be happy."

After saying these words, Xu Zirui was speechless.

Urged by Chen Huifang, Xu Zirui finally left the house.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon coffee shop, Xu Zirui glanced at his phone.

Aside from Zhang Feier's well wishes, there was no other news.

He gave a helpless, bitter smile; the events of yesterday were still fresh in his mind.

"Brother Zirui, have you been waiting for a long time? I just got here."

He Yuqing walked over, a smile still in her eyes.

Xu Zirui looked up.

Today, He Yuqing wore a low-key Chanel-style suit, which made her look more mature.

"After all, it's an art exhibition, so we need to be a bit more formal."

"Brother Zirui, do I look good dressed like this?"

After saying that, Xu Zirui simply smiled slightly.

That's a form of recognition.

He Yuqing smiled when she saw Xu Zirui nod.

"Brother Zirui, let's get ready to go. I heard that there's a masterpiece by a master on display today."

"We can't miss this."

As she spoke, He Yuqing took Xu Zirui's hand and walked out of the coffee shop.

Unlike He Yuqing's excitement, Xu Zirui was more curious.

Xu Zirui was momentarily surprised as he looked at the display boards outside the exhibition hall.

"Brother Zirui, what's wrong? Let's go inside quickly."

He Yuqing smiled, completely unaware that Xu Zirui's expression had changed.

"The paintings on display today are by Master Qi. I heard that this master is already seventy years old."

"Many entrepreneurs want to request a painting."

He Yuqing spoke as she gave a vivid and engaging explanation.

Xu Zirui simply smiled upon hearing this and did not say anything more.

Jiang Xin has one of Master Qi's paintings.

It took a lot of effort to get them to come to us in the first place.

That was the only time Jiang Xin smiled during the three years Xu Zirui took care of her.

Looking back now, Jiang Xin was exceptionally gentle that day.

Xu Zirui couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Zirui, what are you thinking about?"

He Yuqing's voice came, instantly shattering Xu Zirui's fantasy.

Xu Zirui was taken aback, then shook his head.

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past."

"If that's the case, then isn't this Master Qi incredibly powerful?"

Xu Zirui changed the subject.

I can't very well tell He Yuqing that I'm thinking about Jiang Xin.

"That's certainly impressive. Most of the entrepreneurs in Jinghai are lining up to see the paintings by masters."

After He Yuqing finished speaking, Xu Zirui simply nodded.

"Found it, this is my favorite painting."

He Yuqing pointed to the painting on the wall, her face filled with regret.

"I heard that someone offered an exorbitant price to buy it before, but was rejected."

"Master Qi seems to have a special affection for this painting."

He Yuqing then shook her head, "I was just thinking about it, I don't even have a fraction of that."

Xu Zirui didn't speak, but just watched silently from the side, his mind once again lost in thought.

"It's this painting."

Xu Zirui said softly, his eyes filled with helplessness.

The one who offered the exorbitant price was Jiang Xin.

That period was also the most painful time for Jiang Xin.

When Xu Zirui entered the villa, Jiang Xin was at her most irritable.

For a painting, they would spare no expense.

Fortunately, the company's board of directors persuaded her, which prevented Jiang Xin from making a mistake.

For the next period of time, Jiang Xin was taken good care of by Xu Zirui.

He gradually became more rational from his initial irritability.

Without realizing it, Xu Zirui smiled again.

This time, He Yuqing did not speak, but watched silently from the side.

Yet, a bitter feeling lingered in my heart.
