Leng Yue didn't take it to heart at all, and instead smiled even more calmly: "To be honest, the reason I asked you out is because Brother Qingzhou has been in a very bad state lately."
She sighed softly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
"I just hope that you can completely cut off contact; it would be better for both of you."
These words were piercing to the heart.
This completely ignited Chen Xiaoxi's anger and left her speechless. She gritted her teeth, thinking, 'Is this woman so ruthless? She actually wants me to cut off all contact with Lu Qingzhou.'
She stood up angrily, looked at Leng Yue with a stern face and said, "Miss Leng, thank you for your hospitality today. I have other matters to attend to. Please enjoy your meal."
Chen Xiaoxi suddenly stood up, grabbed her handbag, and was about to leave.

She slumped into a chair, grabbed a glass of red wine from the table, and downed it in one gulp.
The sour liquor slid down my throat, but it couldn't compare to the bitter ache churning in my heart. "Who is it?"
Her voice was hoarse, trembling without her even realizing it.
Seeing Chen Xiaoxi's distraught appearance, Leng Yue secretly felt smug.
'Sure enough, sometimes people need a little stimulation.'
As for the true identity of Lu Qingzhou's suitor, she decided to leave it at that for the time being—after all, the sharpest blade should be saved for the most crucial moment.
