That's what she said, but that's not what she really thought.
Whether it was because he didn't want to discuss it or because he was afraid to bring up their past, only Yu Chiyan himself probably knew the answer.
...
afternoon.
When Huo Xiting came to pick up Su Yaoyao from get off work, he also told her the results of his investigation.
"Yaoyao, could the person who sent you the dead cat be the Sese you mentioned?"
Su Yaoyao paused for a moment; "Why do you say that?"
She was terrified when it happened, not knowing who had played the prank. But after calming down, Su Yaoyao realized what had happened.
If we're talking about who she offended, Sese should be number one, but she's already broken up with Yu Chiyan, so why is she still doing this?
Huo Xiting's eyes deepened; "I've investigated everyone you've ever had a conflict with, and there's nothing unusual, except for this Sese. I found out she investigated you not long ago."
Su Yaoyao tensed up; "She investigated me?"
Huo Xiting nodded; "Yes, I think the prankster is Sese, but we can't produce any evidence right now. Moreover, she has Yu Chiyan protecting her. Even if we have evidence to prove that Sese did it, Yu Chiyan will definitely protect her."
Su Yaoyao clenched her fists immediately; "I understand, Xiting. You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle the rest myself."
Huo Xiting nodded silently; "Okay, if there's anything I can help with, just tell me."
Su Yaoyao nodded; "Okay."
As they were talking, the two arrived at a jewelry store.
What are you doing here?
Huo Xiting smiled and said, "Tomorrow is Madam Yu's birthday banquet, so of course we should pick out a gift."
"By the way, Yaoyao, are you going?"
Su Yaoyao nodded; "Of course I'm going."
"That's perfect, shall we pick out a gift together?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao shook her head immediately; "No need, I've already decided what to give her."
"Okay then, you choose for me, I don't know anything about these things."
"good."
The two had just entered the jewelry store when they ran into two other people.
It was Yu Chiyan and Sese, who also seemed to be there to pick out gifts, but they had already made their selections and were about to leave, because Sese was carrying a bag in her arms.
Yu Chiyan pushed Sese's wheelchair without even glancing at her. Su Yaoyao pulled Huo Xiting forward with a stiff upper lip, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Just as the group was about to pass each other, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind.
"Oh? Isn't this Miss Su?"
Su Yaoyao thought to herself, "Oh no!" and sighed silently. Then she looked up.
"Miss Se Se, Mr. Yu."
Yu Chiyan stopped and glanced at her indifferently. He didn't say anything, but spoke on behalf of Se Se.
"Miss Su, is this your new boyfriend?"
Just as Su Yaoyao was about to speak, Yu Chiyan's mocking voice rang out first.
"Without me, their judgment has become increasingly poor."
Huo Xiting smiled and ignored his words: "President Yu, it's been a long time."
He extended a hand in a gentlemanly manner, but Yu Chiyan didn't even look at it.
Su Yaoyao was angered by his attitude, grabbed Huo Xiting's hand and pulled it behind her back, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Mr. Yu is joking. If I hadn't left you, I'm afraid I would have missed out on another person who truly liked me."
The veins on the back of Yu Chiyan's hand bulged instantly, but his face remained expressionless.
A glint of cunning flashed in Se Se's eyes; "Chi Yan, do you know Miss Su's new boyfriend?"
As she sized up Huo Xiting, Huo Xiting was also sizing her up. For some reason, Sese gave him a feeling of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Upon hearing Sese's words, Yu Chiyan immediately pushed her out.
"You're asking about other men in front of me? Do you even respect me anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao felt a pang of sadness welling up inside her.
"Brother Chi Yan, why are you so possessive? I was just asking."
Sese's ingratiating voice faded into the distance, but it still reached Su Yaoyao's ears, causing her heart to ache once more.
"Why did you do this?"
Huo Xiting looked at her with heartache, and Su Yaoyao's pale lips slowly curved into a smile.
"It's okay, let's go pick out a gift."
Huo Xiting nodded; "Let's go."
After saying this, he glanced at Yu Chiyan's back, or rather, Sese's back, before entering the jewelry store.
