Heh, he shook his head and laughed, blaming his overactive imagination. She was going to meet not another man, but his most respected elder brother, and she had never belonged to him. How could he think such ridiculous thoughts?
Shaking off these silly ideas, he parked the car and followed her from a distance…
When Qiu Yuting entered the banquet hall, she immediately saw the person she had been longing for.
He was still as handsome and stern as ever, his tall, imposing body clad in a dark suit, with sculptural, flawless features forming a serious face, exuding a royal-like dignity.
He was drinking. While sipping his drink and listening to his subordinates’ reports, people would occasionally approach to greet him enthusiastically. He would respond with a slight smile and a nod.
Qiu Yuting felt her heart racing, moving slowly towards him.
How would he react when he saw her?
Would it be the joy of a long-awaited reunion, or a concealed silence? Uncontrollable excitement, or a face full of guilt and apology?
Qiu Yuting felt her limbs trembling, almost fainting, like a prisoner hearing a judge’s verdict.
She stood still, just three feet away from him. Quietly, quietly waiting for his judgment.
But one minute, two minutes… time passed silently, and he remained unresponsive.
He didn’t look at her, didn’t say a word to her, and even when his gaze occasionally lifted, it merely swept past her.
How could this be?
She found it incredible. She was wearing the maple red dress he loved most, her brilliant appearance drawing the attention of all the men present, yet he didn’t even glance at her?
If he showed joy and excitement, it would mean he still loved her; if he showed guilt and apology, it would mean he didn’t want to rekindle their old love, and she could give up; if he concealed his feelings with silence, she could advance step by step until he revealed his true feelings… but this situation left her at a loss.
He treated her like a stranger, as if he had completely forgotten her, or had never known her at all.
She had dressed up and come with full expectations, only to find herself invisible before him?
Could such an absurd thing exist in this world?
