Chapter 654 Extra - Why Did We Separate?
During the meal, Chen Ci sat next to Fang Tong and naturally took good care of her. At the same time, she also witnessed Lin Feiyan's exceptionally gentle side.
However, the legendary domineering CEO was indeed only gentle towards Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning complained that the shrimp he peeled wasn't whole, but she still happily ate it.
The way the two got along made Fang Tong sigh, saying that beautiful love is truly intoxicating.
Chen Ci's care for her did indeed give her the illusion of love.
Yes, it can only be an illusion.
Because he completely treated her as if she were a different person.
All his tenderness and consideration were not for her.
After dinner, Aunt Qin brought out chicken soup. Chen Ci and Fang Tong didn't linger and said goodbye.
Before setting off, Qian Tong couldn't help but glance at the antique garden that was still under renovation. Fortunately, this time she didn't have a headache, and those inexplicable images didn't come to mind.
However, she still asked one more question: "Why did Mr. Lin decorate the garden in such an antique style? It's quite unique."
Chen Ci paused for a moment: "Because Qing Ning likes it."
"Oh." Fang Tong nodded: "I've discovered that Mr. Lin truly loves Miss Ye; the details of their interactions are very sweet."
Chen Ci said, "Yes... they went through a lot before finally getting together, so they cherish their relationship even more."
Fang Tong nodded: "Yes, love is never smooth sailing. You always have to go through some ups and downs before you realize how important each other is."
Chen Ci smiled, his tone a little bitter: "I prefer a smooth-sailing love, even if there's nothing dramatic, as long as two people who love each other can be together."
"Unfortunately, life is full of disappointments, but you should just relax," Fang Tong said, offering words of comfort.
Disappointing...
Chen Ci wanted to say that his current misfortunes were all related to Shu Tong.
He had given up hope of finding her, but then he ran into Fang Tong, who didn't have Shu Tong's memories, and yet she wrote that poem with a brush.
It seems as if fate has somehow brought him and her together again.
But if she weren't Shu Tong, why would he bother with her?
Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Fang Tong hesitated for a moment before asking a question that had been lingering in her mind: "What was your ex-girlfriend's name?"
Chen Ci paused slightly as he turned the steering wheel, making the turn a little wider. He quickly adjusted the speed and lane, and only proceeded when the car was moving smoothly.
Why do you want to know this?
"I'm curious," Fang Tong said. "Can you tell me?"
Chen Ci curled his lips, his smile somewhat bitter: "Okay, her name is Shu Tong, Shu as in comfortable, Tong as in parasol tree."
"Shu Tong?"
Fang Tong's expression changed slightly. Sure enough, it was the name that had appeared in her mind after she saw the portrait that day, and it was also the name that Chen Ci had called out when he hugged her during their first meeting.
"Hmm." Chen Ci repeated, enunciating each word clearly: "Shu Tong."
Adhering to the principle that only by clarifying things can one find peace, Fang Tong asked another question: "Then why did you break up?"
Why did they separate?
Chen Ci can only be summed up in four words: "Fate plays tricks on people."
"Fate plays tricks on us?" Fang Tong didn't understand: "If we truly love each other, what can't we overcome?"
"Time, space, even dimensions... there are just too many twists of fate," Chen Ci said slowly.
Fang Tong frowned slightly, and after considering for a while, asked, "So your story with her is related to the prince and princess story you told Fang Miao before?"
