Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.
Chapter 1: On the Night of the Breakup, He Officially Announced His Engagement
"Xiaoying, let's break up. Stop bothering me."
"Seven years of feelings have long faded; I don't love you anymore."
An Ying sat alone in the huge waiting hall, staring blankly at the two breakup text messages, her eyes gradually becoming sore.
She was on a business trip in Nancheng for two months and was originally scheduled to stay for another week.
I'm working overtime every day, eager to fly back to Beicheng and back to Lu Qiyao's side.
She even secretly changed her flight ticket, wanting to fly back early to surprise him.
But he no longer needed her in his life.
Two months of emotional abuse led to a precipitous breakup.
An Ying and Lu Qiyao fell in love at first sight when they were eighteen years old.
She spent seven years loving him, accompanying him, and silently supporting him during his career slump. Now, Lu Qiyao has gained the family's approval and has been firmly established as the president of the Lu Group for less than a year.
He casually dismissed her seven years with just two text messages.
Airport announcements repeatedly urged them to hurry up, and even initiated a search for the missing person.
"Ms. An Ying, Ms. An Ying, your flight is about to take off..."
An Ying suddenly came to her senses and stood up with red eyes.
She tried to appear calm, but the words "I don't love you" ultimately stung her eyes.
Temperatures in the northern part of the city plummeted tonight.
After getting off the plane, An Ying wrapped her thin clothes tighter around herself.
She dragged her luggage, walking alone on the streets of the northern city.
In the past, whenever she went on a business trip, Lu Qiyao would drive to pick her up and take her home.
He will never appear again.
My phone rang; it was my best friend, Ye Rao, calling.
Ye Rao, holding her phone, winked and asked, "Baby, you've gotten off the plane? Is there something good you're hiding from me?"
Is it a good thing that her first love of seven years dumped her as soon as he became successful?
An Ying recalled the two breakup text messages and muttered, "Lu Qiyao brought it up..."
"Did you propose? I have a friend at the Marriott Hotel who said he saw Lu Qiyao setting up the proposal venue this morning!"
Ye Rao couldn't contain her excitement: "Tomorrow is your birthday. Lu Gou has been dragging this out for seven years, and he's finally had a change of heart and is going to propose to you! He's definitely secretly preparing a birthday surprise for you. Baby, you've finally made it!"
An Ying was taken aback.
The words "I don't love you" flashed through my mind again.
An Ying had been dating him for seven years and was already familiar with his temperament. Lu Qiyao was not the kind of person who would prepare surprises for his girlfriend.
He probably has a new love interest.
An Ying sighed: "Actually, Lu Qiyao broke up with me."
Ye Rao remained silent.
After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "You two used to break up, but you always made up in the end... Is he playing some kind of hard-to-get game?"
An Ying: "...What?"
Ye Rao: "That's how it's always portrayed in short dramas. Before the male lead unleashes his ultimate move, he deliberately acts like he's asking for a beating to upset the female lead. Then, there's a sudden surprise, and the two end up happily together again."
An Ying was speechless: "You should watch less of that stuff."
"Oh."
Ye Rao pondered for a moment: "Then I'll go to the Marriott Hotel and see what Lu Gou is up to."
On the other end of the phone, Ye Rao stretched in her leather seat.
"If he dares to fall in love with someone else, I'll tear his pig brains apart. If he tries to pull the 'white moonlight' act of a devoted lover returning, I'll tear his white moonlight out too, haha."
Ye Rao's words piqued An Ying's curiosity.
What kind of woman could make Lu Qiyao so quickly abandon his first love of seven years and start planning an engagement?
An Ying, who had been feeling annoyed for a long time, was finally amused by Ye Rao: "Okay, I'll tear it up with you."
An Ying hailed a taxi and told the driver in the front seat, "To the Marriott Hotel."
During these seven years, An Ying and Lu Qiyao also had their moments of deep affection.
That year, under the century-old locust tree on the university campus, Lu Qiyao held her hand and confessed his love.
"Xiao Ying, I, Lu Qiyao, will only have one wife in this lifetime, and that is you."
Unfortunately, not long after, the school suddenly built a new teaching building and dug up the old locust tree.
Later, Lu Qiyao focused on his career and became immersed in the glitz and glamour of the business world, where he was often surrounded by beautiful women.
At first, An Ying was jealous and angry, but the young master Lu would lower his head and coax her, saying, "It's all just for show. You and I are the ones who are serious."
Even An Ying gets tired of playing along too much.
In recent years, Lu Qiyao has been like a kite about to break free of its string, flying further and further away, and An Ying can't hold on to him no matter what she does.
The death of that locust tree seemed to be preordained.
The vows made in youth are destined to become fragile and laughable in the long run, no matter how touching they may sound at the time.
Lu Qiyao never mentioned marriage, always giving a perfunctory answer: "Don't worry, baby, you're the only one in my heart. Wait a few more years, until my career is stable, and I'll definitely marry you."
Year after year, An Ying only received the breakup notice.
The Marriott Hotel is a well-known seven-star hotel in the northern part of the city, frequented by celebrities and the wealthy. Its outdoor garden offers panoramic views of the city's bustling nightscape and is a popular venue for couples to hold their weddings.
In a crowded garden, a spotlight shines on a couple in the center of the stage.
An Ying followed the light and looked over.
Lu Qiyao was dressed in an exquisite bespoke black suit, and the spotlight shone on his handsome profile, making him appear deeply affectionate.
He held a sparkling diamond ring in his hand.
The style of the diamond ring is the one An Ying likes; she had mentioned it to Lu Qiyao before.
The man who promised to marry her is getting married. He's holding the diamond ring she loves, but the bride isn't her.
An Ying felt as if her heart was bleeding.
No wonder the breakup was so hasty and decisive; it turns out he found true love.
Lu Qiyao smiled, took the hand of the girl in the white dress, and put a diamond ring on her finger: "Xiaoxiao, marry me!"
Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao?!
An Ying's heart sank, and she suddenly remembered something.
She struggled to push through the crowd and walked towards the front of the stage.
Over the sea of heads, An Ying finally saw the woman Lu Qiyao was going to marry.
The woman in the white wedding dress... was none other than An Xiaoxiao!
Her half-sister?
My first love of seven years ended up being my brother-in-law?!
When did they get together?!
An Ying froze in front of the stage.
The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally died, completely and utterly.
She is not reconciled!
She stood by Lu Qiyao through all the difficulties of his previous entrepreneurial ventures, and now he has finally established himself in the business world and become a highly sought-after elite CEO.
An Ying's seven years of perseverance and dedication ultimately benefited An Xiaoxiao and her daughter Xu Mei!
Even everyone kept it from her!
An Xiaoxiao shyly accepted the diamond ring, blushing as she said, "I do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding relatives and friends cheered, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Behind them, an LED screen displays intimate photos of the two.
When the host asked about their love story, An Xiaoxiao picked up the microphone, nestled against Lu Qiyao's shoulder, and looked blissfully happy.
“I’ve had a crush on him for many years. My older sister stole him away for seven years, and I was heartbroken for a long time. Fortunately, my brother Qiyao was still waiting for me. Now I can finally find my own happiness.”
"It's such a pity that my sister isn't here. She won't be able to witness the mutual love between me and Qi Yao. I hope she won't make trouble for my fiancé, because we are truly in love."
The guests below the stage joined in the chant: "Kiss! Kiss!"
People kept whispering among themselves.
"Her sister is that kind of person? How scary."
"He must be jealous that his sister married well."
"How could she steal her sister's sweetheart? This older sister is shameless!"
An Ying stood firmly amidst the jubilant crowd, her expression as cold as ice, like an outcast.
Her hands were clenched into fists and trembling.
She wanted to shove the microphone into An Xiaoxiao's rambling mouth and make her swallow it.
How could she dare to lie so openly in front of everyone!
It was clearly An Xiaoxiao and Lu Qiyao who took advantage of An Ying's absence to have an affair!
An Ying and Lu Qiyao have been in a relationship for seven years. They have always kept a low profile, and only a few family members and friends know about it. But the truth is the truth, and An Xiaoxiao has no right to distort the facts!
An Xiaoxiao made up a whole story, and to unsuspecting outsiders, An Ying looked like a villain who ruined someone else's beautiful love!
An Ying felt a chill run down her spine.
Fortunately, she changed her flight at the last minute and returned to Beicheng ahead of time to witness the engagement banquet in person.
If she really comes back next week as planned, by then the matter will be settled, and no matter how much she makes a fuss, others will just think that she still has feelings for Lu Qiyao.
How dare they join forces and scheme against her like this!
An Weiping, already quite drunk, turned around and saw An Ying. He rubbed his eyes, feeling dizzy, thinking he was seeing things: "Uh, An, An Ying? What are you doing here?! Aren't you supposed to be back next week? What are you doing here!"
An Ying picked up the glass of red wine beside her and swirled it gently.
"Why did you two get engaged so secretly without telling me? Is this perfect couple trying to hide their relationship?"
An Weiping rarely saw An Ying with such a cold expression. The last time he saw it was on the day her mother passed away when she was a child.
Lu Qiyao put his arm around An Xiaoxiao, and the two greeted the people around them with smiles, looking just like a sweet newlywed couple.
Lu Qiyao raised his wine glass and looked around, his gaze sweeping across the room.
An Ying's angry face stood out in the crowd.
He froze, his face darkened, and he looked away as if An Ying were invisible. He frowned and said to the staff member beside him:
"Uninvited guests are not allowed to enter this engagement party. Why were unauthorized personnel allowed in?"
An Ying sneered: "Unrelated personnel?"
These two have become so shameless.
Let's start tearing each other apart then.
If you dare make me a laughing stock, I'll make you an even bigger laughing stock.
She tilted her head back and finished her glass of red wine, her expression cold and resolute.
“Lu Gou, on the day of your funeral, I will not only sit at the main table, but also set off firecrackers to celebrate with the whole world. How can we be irrelevant?”
