The next day.
Su Luo arrived at the restaurant where Ye Xiaoman and he had arranged to meet on time.
We entered the private room.
Ye Xiaoman was sitting at the table looking at the menu when she heard the noise. She looked up at Su Luo with a very serious expression.
Su Luo's heart tightened, but she forced a smile and greeted her.
"Sister Xiaoman, I've come to apologize to you."
Ye Xiaoman said calmly, "Please sit down."
Su Luo sat down opposite her somewhat awkwardly.
Ye Xiaoman handed him the menu, "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat."
Su Luo waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no need, I'm fine with anything."
He's here to apologize, not just to have a meal, so let's not be picky.
Ye Xiaoman didn't stand on ceremony any longer and casually ordered a few dishes and drinks from the waiter.
She wasn't there simply to have dinner with Su Luo; she had another purpose.
A silence fell over the room.
Neither of them spoke.
It was Ye Xiaoman who took the initiative to break the deadlock and casually asked a question.
Where is your girlfriend?
"She's busy today, so it's not convenient for her. Oh, by the way..."
As Su Luo spoke, she took out an exquisite light blue jewelry box from her pocket and handed it to Ye Xiaoman.
"This is a gift she asked me to give you, saying it's to thank you for taking care of me."
"?!?!"
Ye Xiaoman looked bewildered.
What exactly does this woman mean?
They dare not come to see me, yet they sent me a gift?
Is this a way of putting pressure on them?
Using this tactful approach?
But since they've already given her a gift, if she doesn't accept it, Su Luo might suspect something's wrong.
Reluctantly, I took it, opened the lid, and saw that it was a diamond necklace. The purity and cut of the diamonds were impeccable.
It looks very valuable.
Good heavens!
Su Luo's girlfriend is indeed a rich woman, and she has good taste.
I'm getting a little annoyed. This woman is no simpleton!
Ye Xiaoman suppressed her displeasure, forced a smile, and said.
"Then please thank her for me. I really like this necklace."
Su Luo, unaware of the emotions beneath Ye Xiaoman's smile, smiled back.
"I'm glad you like it."
Ye Xiaoman put away the necklace, her words carrying a hidden meaning.
"It seems you and your girlfriend are getting along well."
Su Luo nodded. "It's fine."
"!!!"
The flame in Ye Xiaoman's heart was rekindled.
Damn, she can't ask any more questions.
Asking any more questions will cause an explosion.
At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes and drinks to the table.
Ye Xiaoman was finally able to catch her breath and vent her frustrations with the alcohol. She poured herself a full glass of red wine, picked up the glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"?!!"
Su Luo was stunned. Even though he had drunk with Ye Xiaoman several times, he was still shocked by her unrestrained drinking style.
Is this how you drink red wine?
Is it okay to fill the cup to the brim?
Something's not right.
It wouldn't be right for me to just stand here and watch without having a drink with her.
So, Su Luo poured himself a small glass of red wine, tilted his head back, and drank it down.
The moment Ye Xiaoman put down her wine glass, she caught a glimpse of Su Luo's hand holding the glass, where a sparkling diamond ring was on the ring finger.
My heart skipped a beat!
Engagement ring?
Are Su Luo and her girlfriend already engaged?
No way, they've only been together for a short time, is it that fast?
Are you not going to prepare anything for her?
That's not fair!
Ye Xiaoman raised her hand to wipe the wine stains from the corner of her mouth, staring intently at the diamond ring on his hand, her tone filled with undisguised heartache and bitterness.
Are you engaged?
Su Luo answered honestly, "Yes."
Ye Xiaoman tried hard to suppress the surging emotions in her heart and continued to ask.
"Are you serious? Really planning to get married? You, how old are you? Isn't it a bit too early?"
Su Luo noticed the disappointment and frustration in Ye Xiaoman's eyes, and her heart tightened slightly.
Ye Xiaoman liked him, and you can imagine how she felt when she heard the news of his engagement.
But there was no other way. If he gave her hope now and wasn't firm in his stance, it would be irresponsible to Ye Xiaoman, Ozawa Nami, and himself.
He said in a deep voice.
"I'm not young anymore, and my girlfriend is a few years older than me, so we plan to get married next month."
As soon as he finished speaking...
Ye Xiaoman felt as if her heart had been struck a heavy blow, and she repeated the sentence absentmindedly.
"Getting married next month?"
She came to find flaws in Su Luo's relationship with his girlfriend, intending to stay in the capital for a while and win Su Luo back.
How can we even steal it now?
They're getting married next month!
Su Luo avoided her hurt eyes and lowered her head.
"right."
Ye Xiaoman's chest heaved violently as she tried to regulate her breathing and remain calm. She couldn't let Su Luo see her feelings for him, otherwise it would be awkward to remain friends.
Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he smiled and said.
"That's great news! Where will the wedding be held? I'll definitely come and give you a big red envelope."
Su Luo still didn't dare to look up. He was afraid to meet her gaze again, afraid of her pathetic appearance of pretending to be happy and wishing him well when she was clearly very sad. He whispered.
"In Tokyo."
Ye Xiaoman rubbed her sore nose and chuckled softly.
"Tokyo? Why go to Tokyo? Isn't the capital city good enough?"
If Su Luo's wedding really is held in Tokyo, she really won't go. She hates Japan, and it's not just because of ethnic hatred.
Also, because her company has several Japanese colleagues who are too gloomy and she can't get along with them at all.
Su Luo didn't want Ye Xiaoman to attend the wedding at all; he was afraid that something unexpected might happen again.
It was somewhat cruel of her to directly increase the intensity of the treatment.
