Chi Ruoyi was so engrossed in watching that she didn't hear what Shen Ye said.
"Shall we go back?" Shen Ye's tone was pleading.
"Okay." Chi Ruoyi came back to her senses and smiled faintly.
"Ayi." Ji Ying had arrived unnoticed, looking at Chi Ruoyi with some surprise, and asked, "What are you doing here...?"
He had only said three words when he seemed to remember something and stopped talking.
Chi Ruoyi put on a polite smile, perfectly concealing the sadness in an instant: "What a coincidence, you're here too."
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she continued, "He's so good to you, and you two are a perfect match."
Ji Ying looked at Chi Ruoyi without answering, as if she was trying to find something through his eyes.
Chi Ruoyi is a movie star, and his greatest skill is disguise and acting. He will not reveal his emotions in front of outsiders, so he hides his sadness perfectly.
Seeing no emotion in Chi Ruoyi's eyes that Ji Ying felt a pang of pain, her eyes filled with disappointment. "Ayi, you've changed."
"People always change, and between us, you were the one who changed first, not me."
"I have my reasons, I'm sorry." Ji Ying looked at Chi Ruoyi with sadness in her eyes. She liked Chi Ruoyi, and Shen Ye couldn't understand why she would hurt Chi Ruoyi.
Shen Ye didn't want Chi Ruoyi to face Ji Ying anymore, so he stood up and interrupted, "Let's go back. I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to take care of."
"Ayi, who is he?" Ji Ying's doubts deepened.
"he....."
“I am his friend,” Shen Ye answered before Chi Ruoyi could.
Upon hearing this, Chi Ruoyi glanced at Shen Ye, her gaze carrying the air of a husband looking at his wife.
Ji Ying happened to capture this scene. She and Chi Ruoyi had known each other since they were teenagers. She knew him better than anyone else. He would never look at anyone else like that except for her.
"Hello." Ji Ying smiled faintly, her eyes revealing undisguised hostility.
She liked Chi Ruoyi from the first moment she saw him. He was her first love. They were together for ten years. If she hadn't gone abroad to study five years ago, they would probably be married by now.
During the years they were abroad, they maintained a long-distance relationship. She thought that after enduring these years, they could finally get married. However, the Ji family faced a financial crisis, and only a marriage alliance with the Li Group could resolve the crisis. With the greater good in mind, she gave up her first love, whom she had been in love with for several years. She thought that after the Li Group helped the Ji family overcome the financial crisis, she would divorce Li Si and get back together with Chi Ruoyi, because he was her first love and her king.
But reality slapped her hard in the face. Although Chi Ruoyi did not directly state their relationship, her woman's sixth sense told her that this man would be a stumbling block between her and Chi Ruoyi.
She longed to tell Chi Ruoyi that she loved him, but with Li Si behind her and for the sake of the Ji family, she dared not. So when Li Si asked her what her relationship with Chi Ruoyi was, she could only tearfully introduce him as an old friend of hers.
Chi Ruoyi smiled wryly. Yes, her old friend with whom she had been in love for many years.
"Miss Ji, Mr. Li, please excuse us." Shen Ye took Chi Ruoyi's hand and walked out. He wouldn't allow Ji Ying, that wicked woman, to hurt Chi Ruoyi anymore. He felt sorry for Chi Ruoyi in this state.
Seeing Shen Ye holding Chi Ruoyi's hand, Ji Ying's eyes were cold, but she still smiled politely on her face.
