Chapter 120 A Good Parting
Bai Zhenzhu changed out of her business attire and put on a very pure white pullover knitted cable sweater, light blue jeans, a high ponytail, and a pair of white loafers.
We went to the restaurant we had agreed upon.
Su Yi-jung was already waiting at the door.
Three years had passed, and Su Yizheng exuded a stronger businessman's aura, while the filter of those white moonlight feelings had become less thick.
But he's still handsome, and he's pleasing to the eye.
"Senior, I'm here!"
"Pearl, it's been a long time. You've become even more beautiful."
This isn't an exaggeration; Bai Zhenzhu's气质 (qi zhi, a combination of temperament, bearing, and inner beauty) blends girlish purity with womanly elegance, making her even more radiant than she was three years ago.
"Senior Su, your words are getting sweeter and sweeter. Have you dated a lot of girlfriends over the past three years and been trained to be like this?"
Su Yi-jung smiled but remained silent, as if admitting that his romantic experience was indeed quite extensive.
Bai Zhenzhu pretended to be unhappy, "Senior Su, I thought you were very innocent and devoted to me. It seems you're just an ordinary man."
Just as Su Yi was about to explain, Bai Zhenzhu waved her hand dismissively, "Oh, let's not talk about that anymore, senior, let's go inside quickly, I'm starving."
She naturally took Su Yizheng's arm, and the two entered the restaurant chatting and laughing.
Unfortunately, as soon as she entered the hall, she ran into Shi Jin, who was coming towards her. There were also some business friends with her, and Bai Zhenzhu even saw Qin Shen, who had not been seen for a long time.
Bai Zhenzhu deliberately moved even closer to Su Yizheng, laughing so hard she wanted to lie directly in his arms.
She glanced at Shi Jin out of the corner of her eye, only to find that Shi Jin not only didn't look at her, but instead pulled Qin Shen and quickly left the hall through another exit.
Shi Jin really kept his word; he would avoid her whenever he saw her.
"Pearl, who was that person just now...?"
Su Yizheng thought he saw Shi Jin, but he wasn't quite sure.
"Where is anyone? I only see dogs."
...
Bai Zhenzhu and Su Yizheng entered the private room.
The two chatted about the changes in everyone over the past three years.
"Senior, you've been in the US for the past three years. What are your plans for coming back this time? It's not... because of me, is it?"
Three years ago, after Bai Zhenzhu broke up with Su Yizheng, he quit his job in Kyoto and returned to the United States to continue working on Wall Street.
Bai Zhenzhu deliberately blinked her bright, innocent eyes, looking at him expectantly.
"Pearl, what do you think?"
Bai Zhenzhu suddenly stood up from her seat and sat down next to Su Yizheng, leaning close to his shoulder. She tilted her head back, her misty eyes staring intently at him, and said seductively, "I think that after all the twists and turns, Senior Su has finally realized that he still has feelings for me..."
She took a few breaths, her expression ambiguous, and continued, "Aren't you right, senior?"
Su Yi was staring at Bai Zhenzhu's crystal-clear lips, his mouth dry.
White Pearl was right.
In the past three years, he has also tried to get to know other girls and has had two relationships.
But as you get to know them better, you realize that those who have amazed you are unforgettable.
He would always see Bai Zhenzhu's shadow in a certain woman, and he would also miss the wonderful times he spent with Bai Zhenzhu.
"Pearl, I know you're single now. How about you reconsider me?"
Bai Zhenzhu replied with a charming laugh, "Do you love me?"
"like!"
"But I don't love you, can you accept that?"
"Just because you don't love me now doesn't mean you won't love me in the future. I believe our destiny has never ended..."
"I'd like to get married right away, is that okay?"
"Pearl, what... what did you say?"
Su Yizheng felt that Bai Zhenzhu's agreement to reunite with him was already a pleasant surprise, but he didn't expect them to talk about marriage so quickly.
Bai Zhenzhu repeated each word carefully and seriously: "I said I want to get married, do you agree?"
"Pearl, we've only just reunited. Isn't it too fast to get married? We should date first, settle down for a while, and then consider marriage."
Bai Zhenzhu pouted in disappointment, "If you don't agree, then forget it. There are plenty of men waiting to marry me..."
"I agree! I agree!"
Su Yizheng dared not hesitate any longer and agreed.
"Okay, my plan is to take wedding photos next week, hold the wedding next month, and make sure everything is finished before the end of the year..."
...
The next day, the news spread that Bai Zhenzhu was going to marry Su Yizheng.
Everyone was puzzled by this man who suddenly appeared, especially Li Zifeng, who could now be called Li Zifeng the Madman.
He stormed into Bai Zhenzhu's studio and caused a huge scene.
She questioned, "Pearl, I'm your boyfriend! Why are you marrying that brooding guy who looks like he's been constipated for half a month instead of me?!"
"Li Zifeng, we're over. My boyfriend now is Su Yizheng. Watch your mouth. If you say anything nasty again, I'll send you a lawyer's letter."
"Pearl, did you deliberately marry another man just to spite me?"
Bai Zhenzhu was so angry she almost laughed. "Li Zifeng, if I wanted to annoy you, I could do a hundred things. There's really no need to gamble your entire life's happiness. You're overthinking it."
"Pearl, can our three-year relationship really just end like this?"
“I have a relationship with my parents that has lasted for over 20 years, and they broke up just like that. Li Zifeng, I am very grateful for your companionship and dedication over the past three years, but we are really not suitable for each other. I have always treated you as a minor and have never had any feelings for you, so don’t waste your time on me. Let’s part amicably.”
This time, Li Zifeng wasn't kicked out again; instead, he obediently left on his own.
Although he was unwilling, he knew that his relationship with Bai Zhenzhu should come to an end.
In addition, his mother has been arranging blind dates for him lately, and he simply can't go against his parents' wishes.
Parting ways with Bai Zhenzhu was only a matter of time...
...
When the news reached Shi Jin's ears, it was already three days later.
Shi Jin is having a very important meeting with senior management at the company.
My WeChat app kept flashing.
He glanced at it and saw that it was sent by Qin Shen.
After graduating from university, Qin Shen went to study in country Y, where he met a foreign girlfriend. He just returned to China last week and is preparing to get married.
Shi Jin didn't have time to pay attention to him, and felt that Qin Shen didn't have anything important to do at all.
He ignored the WeChat message and continued the meeting.
Five minutes later, Qin Shen called directly.
He impatiently pressed the reject button.
I wanted to continue the meeting, but then I suddenly realized that Qin Shen had never seemed to be in such a hurry before.
So he paused the meeting and went back to his office to call Qin Shen.
"If you don't have anything important to say to me, I..."
Before he could finish his harsh words, Qin Shen blurted out, "Young Master Shi, Bai Zhenzhu is getting married!"
"Who...is getting married?" Shi Jin didn't realize that her voice was trembling slightly as she spoke.
"White Pearl! She's the one you couldn't have, the one who's your cinnabar mark, that vixen who's been manipulating us brothers!"
