Cheng Qicai took the flowers home. Looking at the ash-pink cappuccino roses in her hand, she sighed.

She misses Gu Rongqi when he doesn't appear, but now that he's here, she feels annoyed.

She always had these conflicting thoughts.

She couldn't understand how Gu Rongqi and Yun Suni got in touch; in her memory, the two had no connection whatsoever.

She thought about it for a long time, but she was still very curious, so she decided to go and ask.

With only two options, Yun Su Ni's side is clearly much better than asking Gu Rong Qi.

Seeing that it was still early, Cheng Qicai went to Yun Suni's house.

She walked into the living room.

When Yun Suni saw her appear, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. She smiled and asked, "Why are you here, Qicai?"

"Sister, don't you know why I'm here?" Cheng Qicai looked at her and sneered, "You and Gu Rongqi conspired to lie to me, and you're asking me."

Of course, Lu Qi wasn't present at the moment, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to use this attitude.

Yun Su Ni sincerely apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I knew this would make you angry, but I still did it. But actually, I started this on my own initiative. I didn't discuss it with Gu Rongqi at the time."

Cheng Qicai was taken aback. "Didn't you two plan this together?"

"Yes, when I heard that my aunt was going to introduce you to someone, I blurted out those words in a panic."

Cheng Qicai asked, puzzled, "Why?"

She didn't understand why Yun Su Ni was so worried about Gu Rongqi.

“A long time ago, I did have a really nice colleague in my project team whom I wanted to introduce to you, but Lu Qi said that Gu Rongqi liked you. I didn’t believe it at the time, thinking that you two were completely unrelated and how could you be connected.”

To be honest, Cheng Qicai also found it very strange. She and Gu Rongqi had no contact, but they always seemed to run into each other for some inexplicable reason.

Although most of it was because of Guliji.

“But after Lu Qi analyzed it for me, I realized that you and Gu Rongqi did have very frequent contact,” Yun Suni said with an embarrassed smile. “But I thought Lu Qi was overthinking it. I still think that he and you are just friends.”

"So how did you confirm it later?"

"When your store opened later, didn't I meet with Gu Rongqi? You were busy at the time, so we chatted with him for a bit."

Cheng Qicai was surprised by this unexpected turn of events and asked in astonishment, "What did you talk about?"

“At first, it was just everyday stuff, but then Lu Qi suddenly asked him how his pursuit of you was going, and he said it was having some difficulties, and that you didn’t agree to be with him…”

"..." Cheng Qicai thought, "As expected of my sister, I only believe you after you explained it clearly." "So how exactly did you two meet?"

"When I got married, he called to wish me a happy birthday, and also when I was pregnant and gave birth. He also sent me gifts and things for the baby. We got to know each other over time."

Cheng Qicai remained silent. She had no idea that Gu Rongqi had done so much behind the scenes! He had even secretly tried to curry favor with Yun Su Ni and the others.

Cheng Qicai was even more puzzled: "So you were just bought off by him like that?"

She thought that Yun Suni wasn't like her, valuing that little bit of money.

“No, not exactly.” Yun Suni paused for a long time this time, looking at Cheng Qicai with hesitation on her face.

Cheng Qicai felt uneasy under her gaze. "What's wrong? Are you going to say something to hurt me?"

Yun Su Ni slowly shook her head: "No, I'm just hesitating whether or not I should tell you anything else."

Cheng Qicai became even more curious after hearing Yun Su Ni's veiled words. She sat down next to Yun Su Ni and said, "Sister, just tell me. You've already thrown down the fishing hook, aren't you just trying to catch me? You're making me even more curious."

Yun Su Ni sighed, as if she had made up her mind, before looking seriously at Cheng Qi Cai and saying, "You know that the Lu family and the Gu family are in the same circle, right?"

Cheng Qicai nodded. Of course she knew that, but she didn't know why Yun Su Ni was bringing it up.

She suddenly felt uneasy, as if she had a premonition that Yun Su Ni was about to say something that would shock her.

Yun Suni took a sip of water and continued, "I've heard some of the reasons why Gu Rongqi and the Gu family fell out, plus Lu Qi came back and talked to me about it."

Cheng Qicai never expected that Lu Qi would go home and gossip with Yun Suni; this was indeed a bit hard for her to imagine.

She swallowed hard, already knowing what Yun Suni wanted to say.

"The reason for the falling out was a girl, but nobody knows that girl is you." Looking at Cheng Qicai's complicated expression, Yun Su Ni comforted her, "Don't worry, Gu Rongqi has suppressed it very well. Apart from us close friends and family, no one can find out that it was you."

Cheng Qicai remained silent. When she heard the answer was herself, her mind was not filled with doubt, but rather with the realization that it was indeed true.

Next, Cheng Qicai heard Yun Suni recount how he dealt with his family and what his situation was like during the past six months in G country...

Hearing this, she frowned deeply. She had never imagined that Gu Rongqi would do so much behind the scenes.

Or did she really not think about it? Or was she afraid to think about it?

After listening to Yun Suni's story, Cheng Qicai felt her heart was numb with pain.

She didn't know what she had that made Gu Rongqi want to do this. What made him calmly approach her, even when everyone, including her, was against his wishes?

Undoubtedly, Cheng Qicai was filled with confusion at this moment, unsure how to respond to Gu Rongqi's profound feelings.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Yun Su Ni said, "I'm not saying this to put pressure on you. I know your concerns, but I also feel that Gu Rongqi's feelings should be seen by you, which is why I chose to help him."

"Of course, this is all I can do to help him. The rest is up to you. Whatever your choice, I will support you."

Cheng Qicai couldn't help but groan, "That's too difficult..."

“You know, Lu Qi’s parents didn’t approve of me being with him either. When I didn’t believe that Lu Qi and I would end up together, you firmly told me that I would be with Lu Qi.”

Cheng Qicai thought of what she had said back then, but wasn't that based on her knowing their fate? That's why she was so resolute at the time.

“I know that…” Cheng Qicai couldn’t help but mutter.

Yun Su Ni patted her shoulder and replied with her old words: "Some people care about the process, some people care about the result. No matter which you choose, you are the one who decides, aren't you?"

Cheng Qicai's mind was in complete turmoil; she couldn't figure out which one she wanted at all.
