Chapter 300 My judgment was so bad before
Qu Jianhang frowned: "What are you talking about? What I do is my freedom, and he won't interfere. You didn't drink alcohol, so were you drunk from tea?"
Seeing her like this, He Pengfei immediately dared not say anything more.
Qu Jianhang and Yan Chengyu held hands and said, "Then we'll be going now. Take your time to sober up."
After saying that, Qu Jianhang walked ahead and pulled Yan Chengyu outside.
Stepping out of the private room, Qu Jianhang paused for a moment: "Let's pay the bill first."
"I just got married," Yan Chengyu said. "Let's go."
Qu Jianhang hummed in agreement, and the two walked side by side.
Once in the car, Qu Jianhang's driver was behind the wheel.
With the rear seat partition lowered, they gained some privacy.
Yan Chengyu asked her, "I was fine before I went out, but what did he say that made you angry?"
“He’s different from before,” Qu Jianhang remarked. “People really do change a lot when they reach middle age.”
"If I don't like him, I won't associate with him anymore," Yan Chengyu said. "It'll save me some trouble."
"You really are..." Qu Jianhang glared at him: "Have I ever caused you any trouble?"
"No," Yan Chengyu said. "I'm relieved to have seen him today."
“He wasn’t like this before.” Qu Jianhang sighed. “I don’t know what he went through to become like this.”
"If he hasn't changed and has been the same before, then I have to question your judgment. Your judgment is so good now, how come it was so bad before?"
"What's with this talk of taste? I didn't even fancy him back then. I just thought he was a good match and wanted to give it a try. If I really got to know him and found things weren't right after we got to know each other, I wouldn't have continued with him."
"Yes, that's why I said I'm relieved."
"You're not jealous anymore?"
“What do you mean by being jealous for no reason?” Yan Chengyu said, “If he still wants to ask you out, shouldn’t I be jealous? It’s fine if you’re single, but now that you’re married, shouldn’t he have some sense of propriety?”
"Whether he knows his limits or not, I do," Qu Jianhang said. "Don't worry, I won't meet with him alone in the future."
"That's good." Yan Chengyu said, "I believe you, but I don't believe him."
"Just trust me." Qu Jianhang nestled against him. "Go back and rest early. You've had a long day."
"good."
Qu Jianhang hadn't expected that she had just told Yan Chengyu the day before that she wouldn't meet with him alone anymore.
The next day, He Pengfei found her company.
When he got to the company building, he called Qu Jianhang. Qu Jianhang said he was in a meeting, but he said he could wait.
Qu Jianhang was quite helpless, so he had no choice but to let him go upstairs to see what he was up to.
She wasn't lying when she said she had a meeting; twenty minutes later, she did indeed have a meeting.
He Pengfei sat down on the sofa and apologized to her, "Jian Hang, I'm really sorry. I came to see you without making an appointment in advance and caused you trouble."
Qu Jianhang didn't mince words with him and said directly, "You know you're embarrassed? Then don't do things like that again."
“I’m here today because I really have something to say.” He Pengfei looked at her and said, “Jian Hang, I was tricked back then, and she got pregnant. I had no choice but to marry her. If it weren’t for her, we would have been together long ago.”
Qu Jianhang said, "Don't talk nonsense, we have no relationship whatsoever."
“I know we weren’t officially a couple at the time, but if that hadn’t happened, we would have been lovers.”
"Not necessarily," Qu Jianhang said. "If I get to know you and find out that you are this kind of person, then I won't associate with you."
He Pengfei's eyes were filled with pain: "Jian Hang, how could you say such a thing? What kind of person am I? Have I disappointed you?"
“There’s no need to say these things; arguing about this is pointless,” Qu Jianhang said. “If you have nothing else to do, you can leave.”
He Pengfei said, "I haven't told you about my matter yet."
"Your business has nothing to do with me, right? I'll tell you again, I'm married, I have a husband."
“You can get a divorce even if you have a husband. Jian Hang, I’ve wanted to come find you for so many years. But you know how domineering my father is; he was the one who made me marry that woman. I haven’t loved her all these years, so after my father passed away, I couldn’t wait to return to China…”
Qu Jianhang understood. He meant that because his father was there before, he didn't dare to do anything.
His father passed away, so he got divorced and came looking for her again.
What, you want to rekindle your old flame with her?
No, the two of them don't really have any past connection.
"No matter what, your wife has been with you for so many years, don't you have any feelings for her at all?"
“No,” He Pengfei said firmly. “Over the years, she and my father have worked together, making it impossible for me to divorce her. Now that I’m finally free, the first thing I did was come back to find you. Jian Hang, I never expected you to get married…”
"What, should I wait for you?"
“That’s not what I meant,” He Pengfei said. “I just feel that I still want to pursue you, I still want to be with you. Over the years, I’ve never forgotten you…”
"Let me remind you again, I'm married." Qu Jianhang's voice was cold: "Don't do anything that will make me look down on you. It's shameful to ruin someone else's marriage."
"Then what am I supposed to do?" He Pengfei asked, his voice trembling with emotion. "Was I supposed to have been framed back then? Why should I bear all the consequences of those things?"
"What do these things have to do with me?"
“I know it has nothing to do with you, it’s all my fault, but, Jian Hang, so many years have passed… can’t you give me another chance? I’ve never forgotten you, you’re the only one in my heart…”
“He Pengfei.” Qu Jianhang frowned: “You’re already this old. How many times do I have to say the same thing before you understand? I hope you’ll watch your words and actions in the future and not ruin our friendship of so many years.”
"Jian Hang, I..."
Qu Jianhang said, "I have another meeting. You can leave now, and don't do this kind of thing again."
"I..." He Pengfei panicked immediately: "Jian Hang, I was wrong, please don't treat me like this. No matter what, we've been friends for so many years..."
“If you don’t come back, I’ll have completely forgotten about you as a friend,” Qu Jianhang said. “Besides, you’re just a friend. I have many friends, so one more or one less won’t make a difference. If you behave yourself, we can still be friends. If not… well, there’s nothing I can do.”
Realizing the implication in her words, He Pengfei quickly said, "Jian Hang, I... I misspoke, please don't hold it against me. We haven't seen each other for so many years, I was too impulsive..."
"No," Qu Jianhang said. "No matter how many years it's been, even if we see each other every day, if someone likes me, I will like them. If someone doesn't like me, I won't like them. I love my current husband very much. Like I said, if you want to be friends with me, you're welcome. But if it's anything else, then I'm sorry, the further away you are from me in the future, the better."
"Jian Hang, do you really love him? Can he understand you? Does he agree with your ideas? Are you two really compatible?"
