"Yu Qiao!" Xie Heng's expression changed drastically. She immediately slammed her hand on the table, a mocking and disdainful look on her lips: "Don't go too far with your words!"
Yu Qiao clicked her tongue, mimicking his tone, and replied cheekily, "Xie Heng, use your brain when you speak~"
"You!" Xie Heng choked on her words, unable to look up or down, staring intently at Yu Qiao, feeling as if her heart was about to shatter into pieces.
Everyone's expression changed, and they all looked at each other asking if they knew what was going on, but no one understood what Xie Heng was thinking.
Back in high school, everyone knew that Wen Ya was pursuing Xie Heng. Later, Xie Heng also fell in love, and the two were together for more than half a year before getting into the same university.
Not long after, news came that Wen Ya had gone abroad and broken up with Xie Heng.
Following closely behind, Yu Qiao, who had a crush on Xie Heng, chased after him for three years, causing quite a stir. However, not long after their engagement, Wen Ya returned to China, and Xie Heng immediately broke off the engagement with Yu Qiao and reconciled with Wen Ya.
The intricacies of this situation are probably only known to those directly involved.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to mediate.
Wen Ya was restless and pretended to be understanding, taking Xie Heng's arm and saying softly, "Alright, alright, stop arguing."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come back to China. Now the situation is so bad. I...I..."
As she spoke, Wenya actually shed two lines of tears.
Immediately, everyone's gaze towards Yu Qiao began to turn strange.
Several girls who were close to Wenya even tried to persuade her.
"Yu Qiao, you should apologize to Wen Ya right away, she's crying."
"Yeah, maybe she didn't mean any harm, she was just really curious?"
“That’s right. After all, Wenya is not as good as you in any way, but Xie Heng only loves her. It’s understandable that she’s upset.”
"..."
The last sentence was spoken by Ling Xiaoxiao.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya's expression changed repeatedly, and finally, she became so angry that her eyes reddened.
In what way is she inferior to Yu Qiao?!
Yu Qiao was just better off being born into a better family!
Yu Qiao also smiled, her slender fingers swirling the wine in her glass, and said with a contented smile, "That's true."
The class monitor was at his wit's end. Seeing that the game was over, he gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, the food is almost ready. Let's eat."
Everyone sat down at the large round table, and coincidentally, Xie Heng sat next to Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao rolled her eyes silently, moved her stool to the left, wishing she could be a hundred and eight thousand meters away from Xie Heng.
Xie Heng's gaze darkened, her lips tightened, and out of the corner of her eye she saw that Yu Qiao wasn't even looking at her, which made her so angry that she gritted her teeth.
What exactly is the deal with Yu Qiao?
Normally, she would have already brought gifts to apologize, but this time it's been almost half a month, why hasn't she come to apologize to him yet!
Xie Heng lowered her gaze, her eyelashes trembled, and a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.
"Aheng, this is your favorite fish." Wenya picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and gave it to Xie Heng.
Xie Heng frowned slightly, and her gaze toward Wen Ya began to turn strange.
Yu Qiao chuckled and said sarcastically, "You don't know that Xie Heng is allergic to fish, do you?"
Wen Ya's face turned ashen. Upon hearing this, she quickly looked up at Xie Heng and saw that Xie Heng's expression was also rather unpleasant. A layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, and she argued, "Is...is that so? Then I must have remembered it wrong."
“You got it wrong~” Yu Qiao added insult to injury.
Xie Heng's expression turned even uglier.
Suddenly, Xie Heng saw Yu Qiao press the turntable and pick up a lion's head meatball. Her gaze turned slightly cold.
A sense of anticipation and pride rose within me.
Did Yu Qiao put this on his plate?
This is his favorite dish.
Sure enough, Yu Qiao was throwing a tantrum at him!
Xie Heng's lips curved slightly. Since Yu Qiao was willing to show weakness to him, he would be magnanimous this time and forgive her.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qiao opened her mouth and ate more than half of the lion's head meatball, nodding and exaggerating as she did so:
"Mmm, delicious!"
Xie Heng's smile froze.
…………
…………
As the dinner party drew to a close, Yu Qiao had drunk quite a bit and her head was starting to spin. She said a few words to the class monitor and then left with her bag.
Xie Heng, who had been watching Yu Qiao closely, narrowed his eyes, picked up the wine glass beside him, drank it all in one gulp, and followed her out.
After Yu Qiao finished using the restroom, she washed her face with cold water a few times before leaving.
It's getting late, and she's had enough to drink. She's already said goodbye and left.
So Yu Qiao walked to the other side. As she passed a private room, a hand with distinct bones suddenly reached out from inside, grabbed Yu Qiao's wrist, and pulled her inside.
With a "bang," the door to the private room was slammed shut.
The surroundings were dark, and Yu Qiao was pressed against the door frame by Xie Heng.
Upon smelling the familiar scent, Yu Qiao's tense nerves relaxed, and she said with a cold laugh, "Xie Heng, are you sick?"
Xie Heng stared intently at her: "Yu Qiao, are you serious?"
"What?" Yu Qiao was a little confused.
Xie Heng pursed her lips, her dark eyes filled with rage, as if in disbelief and struggle: "You really let me go?"
"Otherwise what?" Yu Qiao saw him approaching and quickly pushed him away: "I was blind before, I poured my heart out to you, but you never took me seriously."
Xie Heng's tall body trembled violently, his eyes turning bloodshot and sinister.
Yu Qiao's expression was indifferent: "Isn't this the result you wanted? There's no one around now, who are you pretending for?"
Xie Heng pressed his tongue against his back teeth. Damn it, he didn't know what he was doing. He clearly loved Wen Ya, not Yu Qiao.
Why did I have to be so foolish as to drag her in and say those things?
Xie Heng angrily tried to argue, but when he looked up, he saw the coldness in Yu Qiao's eyes, and he instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
He finally realized that this time, Yu Qiao truly didn't love him and wanted to sever ties with him.
The love, shyness, or sweetness in her eyes were gone; instead, there was only alienation, disgust, revulsion, and a desire to avoid him.
Xie Heng stared at her for a long time, desperately trying to see through her disguise, but he couldn't! She really wasn't pretending! She truly didn't love him anymore!
"Yu Qiao, have you fallen for someone else?!"
Faced with Xie Heng's matter-of-fact questioning, Yu Qiao was genuinely amused and exasperated: "Second Young Master Xie, what does this have to do with you?"
"Your current fiancée is Wen Ya. Aren't you afraid she'll be heartbroken if she finds out?"
Xie Heng's lips lost all color. She stepped forward and tightly gripped Yu Qiao's wrist, saying, "Yu Qiao, I, I..."
"What? Are you trying to have your cake and eat it too? Or have you realized you've fallen in love with me?"
"I...I..." Xie Heng was speechless.
Looking at the woman in front of him, so calm and nonchalant, his heart ached as if it had been crushed.
Yu Qiao looked at him calmly: "Let go."
Her wrist was already red, but Xie Heng was still exerting force.
Xie Heng frowned, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to explain. Finally, her gaze lingered on Yu Qiao's red lips.
They've been together for so long, but it seems like they've never kissed.
Xie Heng's breath hitched, a murky light flashing in his eyes. He reached out and pressed down on the back of Yu Qiao's head, moving closer to that splash of red.
