Chapter 217 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Chapter 5

When he said this, Wu Cheng's face was calm.

He used to think that love could conquer everything, but after being together, he realized that he was naive and that the love he had for someone because of appearance was only superficial.

The key to getting along well lies in the inner compatibility, including whether the two people have the same attitude, concepts and direction towards career and life, which is the key to maintaining the relationship.

He talked to Meng Qianqian and they broke up in their senior year, and he was very calm at the time.

Because at that time he was already extremely clear-headed, and he peeled off the beautiful illusion created by his imagination. The reality was not like that at all.

He thought about it carefully and felt that they were not suitable for each other at all. Being together would only drain each other, and breaking up would be better for everyone.

Two people who are truly compatible should feel relaxed and happy when they are together, rather than dull and depressed.

"Honestly, you haven't looked for me all these years, I really thought..."

Do you think he's doing this because of Meng Qianqian? Wu Cheng laughed, "I'm not you."

He Fei has been thinking about his ex-girlfriend Fang Yutong all these years, but he is not.

The reason he didn't look for one was simply because as he grew older and accumulated wealth, he longed for a pure and clean relationship more, but if not, he would rather be alone.

"Just consider it as a question from a brother. What would you do if Meng Qianqian came back to find you?"

"Not very good."

Wu Cheng seemed to have no interest in his hypothesis at all.

He Fei understood what he meant, and then he remembered the question he had come here to ask today, "So it seems that there is someone else you care about?"

Otherwise, why would he be called out for no reason and asked such a question?

Do you care? Wu Cheng felt like there was a tangled thread in his head that couldn't be untangled.

He didn't know why he felt such an inexplicable emotion in his heart, "Why do you say that?"

"People are ignoring you, and you come here to drink alone. Doesn't that mean anything?"

"What does it mean?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, He Fei said unhappily, "At least it shows that she is different in your heart."

…

Liao Qian returned home, took off her coat, and curled up on the sofa, covered with a thin furry blanket. She picked up the script beside her and glanced at it for a few seconds, but the words seemed to be jumping around and she couldn't read them into her brain. Then she forgot to turn the page for a long time.

He sighed and finally put the script down.

I opened my phone and looked at tomorrow's schedule, then opened my friend list, but there was no message from him.

After watching for a while, I turned off the phone.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down. The night view of the city was in full view. Her absent-minded expression was reflected on the clean and transparent glass.

She should have made her words very clear tonight.

Although it may be unpleasant to hear, it is the truth. He does not need her as a friend.

That's it, she thinks it's fine.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, she has a regular daily routine. Because she wants to protect her skin, she rarely stays up late.

I checked my phone before going to bed and didn't receive any messages from him.

The next day, when she woke up, she saw an unread message on her phone, which was sent by Wu Cheng.

This is also the first time their chat box has been updated after five years.

He sent the address of a restaurant and added, "8pm, is that okay?"

This was asking for her opinion, and she replied with a single word, "OK."

I have a photo shoot during the day today and no other plans for the evening.

I arrived at the studio, changed clothes, put on makeup, and completed the photo shoot with the client's products.

The assistant and agent accompanied me throughout the whole process.

After the photoshoot, Sister Qiao generously praised her, "Xixi, you look great today."

"good."

While removing her makeup, she glanced at the time on her phone and said, "I'll be back in a minute. I need to go somewhere."

"Don't you want to eat together?"

"No, I have an appointment."

"Okay." Sister Qiao thought of something and couldn't help but gossip, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

Liao Qian didn't hide it, "A man."

When Sister Qiao heard this, she immediately gave her a heads-up, "Xixi, if you have any questions, you must tell me in advance so I can have the PR department prepare."

"No, just ordinary friends." Liao Qian gave her a look of reassurance that there was no big problem.

"That's fine, but be careful not to get photographed."

"Yeah, I know."

After removing her makeup and changing into casual clothes, she put on a hat and a mask and left.

The driver took her to the destination. Liao Qian adjusted the brim of her hat and walked inside.

Wu Cheng booked a private room. She looked at the number plate on the door, followed the instructions, and pushed the door open when she arrived.

Wu Cheng had already arrived. He stood by the window with his back to her, talking on the phone.

He was wearing a dark blue shirt and dark suit pants. From behind, he had broad shoulders and long legs. With his sleeves rolled up, one could see the bulging veins on his arms. His coat was casually draped over a chair.

She came in, closed the door, took off her coat and hung it on the rack beside her, took off her hat and mask, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Hearing the noise, Wu Cheng turned around to look at her, then quickly ended the call.

"Here I come."

"Um."

Wu Cheng sat down opposite her and glanced at her a few more times without leaving any trace. Her face was clean today, without any makeup, but her skin was very white and she had a very cool feeling. Her long straight hair was casually draped behind her ears. She was wearing a blue shirt with the end tied into slim black pants and long boots, giving her a neat and heroic feeling.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and said, "Order whatever you want to eat."

As he said that, he pushed the menu in front of her.

Liao Qian thought that today's meal was hers, and it was ultimately to thank him for his help yesterday. "I'm fine with anything. You know I can't eat too much, and it would be a waste if I ordered too much. Just choose what you like."

Wu Cheng raised an eyebrow when she heard this, and couldn't help but think of her poor appetite when they ate hot pot. "It's okay, I'll eat what you can't finish."

"This meal was originally my treat."

"Since you've said that, shouldn't you just listen to me? If you're treating me to a meal and want to repay a favor, then naturally I'll make the decision."

Seeing that he insisted, Liao Qian could only take the menu, order a few dishes, and tell the waiter.

After the waiter left, the box became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The lighting for dining was just right, not too bright, but bright enough to see the other person's expression.

Liao Qian didn't know whether he would continue the topic that he hadn't finished yesterday. All she was thinking was that after this meal, they would not meet again.

"Qianqian, you have really changed a lot."

He suddenly spoke, interrupting Liao Qian's thoughts. The most important thing was that it was the first time he called her that.

In the past, he always called Qian Brother and treated her as a buddy.

"You didn't call me that before."

"The main thing is, looking at the way you are now, I can't call you my brother, right?"

Wu Cheng casually rested his arms on the table and looked at her with a smile, as if he was just chatting with an ordinary friend.

"I'm still me, no plastic surgery."
