But at their second meeting at a banquet, he was suddenly captivated by her charm.
Seeing her being wronged and scolded made him feel terrible, as if those people were scolding him.
He then went abroad on business. When he returned, he intended to ask her out, but he never expected to run into her again in that kind of setting.
But her joy was short-lived; her friend died. She wanted to comfort her, but instead, she saw her kissing another man. She felt heartbroken at that moment.
If he were an ordinary man, it wouldn't matter; with his outstanding appearance and family background, I believe he would definitely be able to beat others.
But that man was clearly no ordinary person. The aura of superiority he exuded, like that of a king, was something that ordinary people couldn't imitate. It must be because he had been in a high position for many years and had become accustomed to looking down on others.
"Didn't your boyfriend come?" Zou Shijie asked hopefully.
Mo Jing was stunned for a moment. Boyfriend. Clearly, someone wasn't used to this title, and didn't even realize that they were already labeled as someone's girlfriend.
"Yes, he's been busy these past few days." Ling Moyuan came over yesterday to tell her that he was going abroad, and he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.
Zou Shijie felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his heart, as if he were suffocating. He had still clung to a sliver of hope, even though he had seen them kiss, but Mo Jing's emotions had clearly been unstable at the time, and there might be more to the story. His dark, deep pupils narrowed for a moment; at that instant, Zou Shijie wished he hadn't asked.
It's the season for gardenias to bloom, and a faint fragrance of gardenias wafts in from somewhere.
After chatting for a few minutes, Zou Shijie made an excuse to leave, fearing that he would lose his composure if he stayed any longer.
Just as I stood up, a waiter approached from the opposite direction, carrying a tray filled with piping hot coffee. The aisle was originally quite wide; not only could two people walk side-by-side, but three could easily walk side-by-side without any problem.
But just as the two were about to meet, an old lady suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood up, seemingly with a purpose, and bumped into the waiter. As a result, tragedy struck.
The scalding hot black coffee was spilled all over Zou Shijie's black suit.
Coffee dripped slowly down his expensive suit, landing on the polished floor. Some coffee splattered onto Zou Shijie's face, making him look quite disheveled.
Fortunately, Zou Shijie was wearing a suit, so his skin wasn't directly burned.
Mo Jing was also taken aback, not expecting such a dramatic scene to unfold.
The waiter was clearly frightened; working in the store, he was most afraid of such a situation.
The customer's clothes look expensive; she definitely can't afford to pay for them. But it really wasn't her fault; someone bumped into her from behind.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" The waiter immediately grabbed a few tissues from the side to wipe the coffee stains off his clothes, and then said nervously, "I didn't mean to, someone bumped into me from behind."
Zou Shijie felt that this was the first time in his life he had been so embarrassed, but seeing the waitress's nervous and frightened expression, he gently took the tissue from her hand and said, "No need, I can do it myself."
