The store manager and his staff understood the reason. They looked at Qin Xuming with sympathy, but the way they looked at Qiao Ruoxi changed.
In their eyes, Qiao Ruoxi was a materialistic woman who abandoned her boyfriend for wealth.
Their contemptuous gazes were like arrows shooting at her, making her feel at a loss.
Her instinct was to leave.
Just as she was about to retreat, the man beside her did not give her a chance to do so.
He put his arm around her shoulder and led her to the private dining room.
When she passed by Qin Xuming, Qiao Ruoxi never turned to look at him, but his eyes followed her.
Looking at Feng Yunan hugging her, Qin Xuming’s heart was filled with hatred. He was so angry that he almost crushed the wine glass in his hand.
There was too much unwillingness in his heart.
He told himself that he would never give up on Qiao Ruoxi. He wanted to take her back.
He had already begun to plan in secret. Once he succeeded, Feng Yunan and Qiao Ruoxi would definitely become enemies. When that time came, Qiao Ruoxi would naturally return to his side.
He was waiting for the right time.
Feng Yunan had booked the best room. The room was warm and the environment was elegant.
The candlelight flickered, the music was melodious, and exquisite dishes were served on the table.
Qiao Ruoxi looked at the flickering candlelight in front of her. She had a feeling that everything that had happened today was too unreal, like a dream.
It was like the image of a little girl selling matchsticks appearing in the light. Would everything disappear when the light went out?
She was staring at the candlelight. The man opposite her was staring at her.
The candlelight danced in her eyes, reflecting the sky full of stars. They were sparkling and resplendent, beautiful beyond words.
But there seemed to be a hint of sadness in her clear eyes. She seemed to be in low spirits. Why was she hurt?
Could it be because of Qin Xuming?
Feng Yunan frowned. He could not accept his woman thinking of another man in front of him, not even his ex.
“What are you thinking about?”
Feng Yunan pulled her back to reality.
She shook her head lightly. “Nothing.”
Feng Yunan looked as if he had already seen through her. He stared at her sharply and asked, “How dare you think of your ex in front of me?”
“No, I’m not thinking about him.”
She denied it.
Qiao Ruoxi did not think it was a good idea to talk about Qin Xuming. It would only remind her of the pain.
However, Feng Yunan wanted to open her wound and rub salt on it. “You lied to me. You just can’t forget him.”
Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.
Feng Yunan’s face darkened. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look up. “Look into my eyes and talk.”
Looking into his eyes, Qiao Ruoxi repeated, “I really don’t miss him.”
She was telling the truth.
When she saw Qin Xuming just now, she felt very awkward. But the reason why she was feeling down now was really not because of Qin Xuming, but because of Feng Yunan.
Because of Feng Yunan, her life had changed drastically. Her boyfriend turned into an ex overnight, and she was also mistaken for a materialistic woman.
They all thought that she had climbed up the social ladder, but who knew what kind of life she was living?
She knew from the beginning that Feng Yunan did not love her.
Therefore, ever since she signed an unfair agreement with Feng Yunan, her life had entered hell mode. Happiness had completely disappeared from her life.
