“It’s been such a long time, almost ten years, right?” “More or less.” Unexpectedly meeting a classmate from her student days, Xinluo laughed happily. “You’ve become beautiful, quite different from my memory. I wasn’t even sure it was you just now.” Praising her intelligence might not bother her, but praising her beauty, Xinluo instinctively felt it was just a polite remark. “Thank you. Is your company nearby?” “No, my company is not here. I’m here to…” His hand, originally pointing towards the five-star hotel next door, paused, and Bai Chenghai laughed awkwardly. “I’m just passing by.” He absolutely couldn’t say the truth, not under any circumstances! Saying it would cause trouble. “Is that so?” Even the slowest person could see his unnatural expression. Xinluo didn’t mind, intuitively sensing he had something unspeakable. “Qi Talented Lady… Sorry, I’m used to calling you that. Is your company nearby?” Bai Chenghai quickly changed the subject. Was she overthinking? She felt there was something odd about his words. They weren’t even close, so how could he be used to calling her Qi Talented Lady? “Just call me Xinluo!” She smiled, with a unique intellectual radiance typical of modern women. “My company isn’t nearby either. I’m here today for a meeting with the general manager.” “Hmm, that’s good… that’s good…” Bai Chenghai nodded quickly in agreement. “Your reaction is really strange. Isn’t it okay for a company to be here?”
“It’s not bad either…” Frowning, Bo Chenghai was about to find an excuse to brush it off when he caught a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, walking with a young and beautiful woman. “Qi… Xinluo…” Originally wanting to divert her attention, his voice calling her name gradually weakened, and Bo Chenghai believed she had seen it too.
What a coincidence! He “happened” to meet her here; she “happened” to see Xia Erxi and that woman walking into the restaurant… It’s true that nothing is more coincidental than this! Her face instantly turned pale and ugly, Xinluo bit her lip hard and forcefully withdrew her gaze.
“Uh… are you okay? Actually, they… uh…” Bo Chenghai saw her entire reaction, wishing he could pretend not to know, but he knew better than anyone.
“They?” This time, Xinluo precisely caught his slip of the tongue.
“Just Erxi and…”
