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 love that was attracted by appearance was only superficial.

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

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

Because at that time he was already extremely sober, and when he peeled off the beautiful illusion that he had imagined, he realized that the reality was not like that at all.

He thought about it carefully and realized that they were not suitable for each other at all. Being together would only consume each other, and breaking up would be better for both of them.

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

"To be honest, you haven't looked for her all these years. I really thought..."

Do you think he did it 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 pure and clean love more, but if not, he would rather be alone.

"Then just treat 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 over to ask today, "It seems like there's 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 thread in his head that was tangled and couldn't be untangled.

He didn't know why he felt so strange. "Why do you say that?"

"People ignored you, so you came here to drink alone. Isn't that an explanation?"

"Explain what?"

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

…

Liao Qian returned home, took off her coat, and curled up on the sofa, covered with a fluffy 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 my phone.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down. She could see the night view of the city at a glance. Her absent-minded expression was reflected on the clean and transparent glass.

Tonight, she should have made her words very clear.

Even though it may sound unpleasant, it is the truth and he doesn't need her as a friend.

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

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 message from him.

The next day, when she woke up, she saw an unread message on her phone from Wu Cheng.

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

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

This was to ask for her opinion, and she replied with one word: "OK."

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

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

Assistants and agents accompanied me throughout the process.

After the photoshoot, Sister Qiao generously praised me, "Xixi, you're in great shape today."

"Not bad."

While removing her makeup, she glanced at the time on her phone and said, "You guys go home first. I have to go somewhere."

"Don't you want to have dinner together?"

"No, I have an appointment."

"Okay." Sister Qiao thought of something and couldn't help gossiping a little, "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 shot of prevention, "Xixi, if you have any problems, you must tell me in advance so that I can ask the public relations department to prepare in advance."

"No, just ordinary friends." Liao Qian gave her a look that showed she was relieved and that it was no big deal.

"Okay, 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 dropped her off at the destination. Liao Qian pressed down 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 in front of 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 blue veins on his arms. He had casually draped his jacket 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.

“I am here.”

"Um."

Wu Cheng sat down opposite her and glanced at her a few more times without leaving a trace. Her face was clean and makeup-free today, but her skin was very white and she looked very cool. Her long straight hair was casually draped behind her ears. She wore a blue shirt with the ends tied inside slim black trousers and long boots, giving her a neat and heroic feeling.

He calmly looked away and said, "Order whatever you want to eat."

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

Liao Qian thought that she was the one who treated him to dinner today, and it was 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 more. Just choose what you like."

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

"I was the one who paid for this meal."

"Since you've said that, shouldn't you just listen to me? You're treating me to a meal to repay a favor, so 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 lights during meals were turned on just right, not too bright, but bright enough to allow for a clear view of each other's expressions.

Liao Qian didn't know whether he would continue the topic he hadn't finished yesterday. All she was thinking was that after this meal, they would never 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 brother.

"You didn't call me that before."

"The main thing is, looking at your current appearance, I can't call you my brother."

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

"I am still me, I haven't had any plastic surgery."
