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

Chapter Four: Fiancé

Xu Zirui finally couldn't resist his mother's insistence and decided to meet the girl next door that she had mentioned.

I remember He Yuqing was a chubby little girl who used to follow me around calling me "Brother Zirui" when she was a child. It's been a long time since I've seen her. I wonder what she's doing now?

The next second, a gentle voice suddenly rang out above his head.

"Hi, long time no see."

Although he didn't have high expectations, when he subconsciously looked up, he was amazed by her beautiful and delicate appearance.

"...Yuqing?"

The girl in front of me had a delicate, small oval face, with a pair of clear, bright eyes beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows. When she smiled, it was like a clear spring flowing into my heart, nourishing everything.

Her lips were delicate pink, her skin was fair, and her long, slightly wavy chestnut hair was casually draped behind her, adding a touch of languid charm.

She sat down confidently opposite Xu Zirui and winked playfully.

"It's me. What? Don't you recognize me?"

Xu Zirui realized he had been somewhat rude and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, you have indeed changed a lot, you've become more beautiful."

A suspicious blush flashed across He Yuqing's cheeks. "Thank you."

"What would you like to drink? It's on me."

After ordering two drinks, the two talked for a long time.

After chatting for a long time, Xu Zirui was even a little dazed for a moment.

He never expected that he and she would have so many things in common; He Yuqing was interested in almost everything he liked.

Xu Zirui took a sip of the tea in front of him and lowered his eyes.

He has been in relationships before, and he knows that finding someone with the same interests and values ​​is like finding a needle in a haystack. Generally, the one who is more attracted to someone will deliberately make concessions.

He didn't know if He Yuqing was truly compatible with him or was just accommodating him, but he hadn't yet obtained a divorce certificate with Jiang Xin, nor had he completely let go of his previous failed relationship.

It would be irresponsible of the girl to develop a relationship in such a muddled way.

“Yuqing, I…”

"Brother Zirui, you don't need to be so formal. Just call me Qingqing, like when we were kids."

Xu Zirui pondered for a moment, then bowed slightly. "I understand. My mother organized this meeting so that we could get to know each other better, but I'm not ready to start over yet. I'm sorry."

"do you understand?"

He put it quite bluntly.

If He Yuqing has feelings for him, it might be hurtful, but it's better than keeping her hanging on and on.

Sure enough, the smile on He Yuqing's face froze after he finished speaking.

I thought the conversation was going to fall flat, but she just tilted her head, as if she didn't care at all.

"Of course, I'm just dealing with the pressure to get married, I know, I know~ Besides, we've been best friends since we were little."

Xu Zirui finally felt relieved, and his whole body relaxed.

"Thank you."

"Hey! Don't thank me yet. Now that we're on the same page, as my good friend, could you come with me to the mall next door to buy a gift? My dad's birthday is next week, and I don't know what to get him."

This was hardly a request, and Xu Zirui immediately agreed.

The two went to a shopping mall not far from the coffee shop.

As Xu Zirui entered the mall, he was completely unaware that two burning gazes were fixed on him from a short distance behind him.

Jiang Xin had just promised Meng Chengze that she would give him a proper status, but unexpectedly, he dragged her to the mall to buy a diamond ring.

Just as I was getting a little annoyed, I looked up and saw Xu Zirui shopping with another young and pretty girl.

That must be the blind date Liu Zhenzhen was talking about, right?

She's quite good-looking... but her figure isn't as good as mine.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xin was startled by her own reaction. She had actually subconsciously compared herself to the people around Xu Zirui.

No, that's not right.

Just as he was getting annoyed, Meng Chengze also saw them. "Is that Xu Zirui? And the one next to him... how come you've already got a new girlfriend so quickly? Could it be that you couldn't hold back after receiving your compensation?"

Meng Chengze's tone was somewhat surprised and uncertain, which made Jiang Xin feel annoyed again.

“We’ve already signed the divorce papers. It’s his freedom to be with whomever he wants.”

After saying that, she prepared to turn and leave, but Meng Chengze did not move.

"To be honest, we've done him a bit wrong by being together. Why don't we go and say hello? Now that you've given him the money, you don't owe him anything."

"Leaving like this makes it seem like we're the ones with a guilty conscience..."

Jiang Xin paused.

After thinking for a moment, she walked over with Meng Chengze.

Xu Zirui had just finished shopping at the watch store with He Yuqing when he spotted Jiang Xin walking towards him arm in arm with Meng Chengze. His heart suddenly ached, and the pain made his chest tremble.

Meng Chengze was the first to speak.

"What a coincidence! How have you been these past few days?"

Xu Zirui didn't speak, but continued to look at He Yuqing. His eyes lit up for a moment, and his tone softened considerably.

"You're still the most popular, Xu Zirui. And who is this lady...?"

He Yuqing sensed that something was wrong and slowly moved closer to Xu Zirui.

Xu Zirui and Jiang Xin exchanged a glance, then introduced He Yuqing to them with a normal expression, "He Yuqing is my good friend."

Then she looked at He Yuqing beside her, "This is Jiang Xin, the current president of the Jiang Group, and this is Meng Chengze..."

Xu Zirui paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then continued, "He is Jiang Xin's fiancé."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Chengze's eyes were full of smugness, while Jiang Xin immediately retorted.

"no!"

Her tone was somewhat urgent, and all three of them were taken aback, looking at her with different expressions.

Realizing her unusual behavior, Jiang Xin quickly averted her gaze.

“We’re not divorced yet, so saying this won’t be good for Cheng Ze.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Chengze's expression softened, and he even showed a hint of excitement, his gaze towards Xu Zirui revealing undisguised smugness.

Xu Zirui stood there, stunned.

He had already seen how Jiang Xin treated Meng Chengze differently, and he had also seen how she protected him, but he didn't expect that when he saw her again, he would still feel a sense of loss.

He suddenly felt discouraged and also felt it was a waste of his own efforts.

He Yuqing's expression gradually became complicated.

"Miss Jiang...you are so good to your fiancé."
