Chapter 15

After saying this, Yu Zhi lowered her head, on the verge of tears.

Since Jiang Qianchen agreed to meet Vivian last time, she had been studying the map of Ningcheng for days, finally finding a suitable place.

The location for offline meetings of online friends was very particular. And “online friends” like Jiang Qianchen basically went to meet at hotels.

Yu Zhi was afraid that if the destination was too obvious, the other party would not come directly, feeling it was too obvious and suspicious.

So, she designed the actual meeting place at “Lu Yuan”, a coffee shop with a name that sounded a bit improper, but was actually quite popular and interesting. Once Jiang Qianchen walked to the door of this place, he would be speechless.

Choosing this venue, she also had to thank Ms. Zhou Jingyao for her friendly offer. Her family’s main business was in the entertainment industry, and she often heard gossip from her about the ins and outs of the industry. And the center of gossip often appeared in this coffee shop.

Because of the prime location of this shop, the apartment across the street was the famous “Canary Tower” in the circle, where many residents were mistresses and lovers of certain bosses, spending a lot of money to rent, and there were also those on the outskirts trying to climb up.

Therefore, this shop often staged scenes of the main wife catching the third party, crying and begging for forgiveness, or pulling hair and fighting, scenes that had become commonplace.

Especially because the private rooms at the “Lu Yuan” cafe have tatami mats for resting, and the soundproofing and privacy inside are also very good. The people who come to the private rooms are generally not very upstanding.

Yu Zhi stood at the entrance of the private room without any burden and began her performance. She had specifically had the place cleared, to prevent any disharmonious interference from marring her vision.

The long hallway was quiet and silent, only faintly able to hear Yu Zhi’s soft sobs.

“I knew it, men are all like this. Wild flowers will always be more fragrant than domestic ones.” She sighed and shook her head, “Just now I got carried away. I just thought you didn’t love me, I didn’t expect you would also be one of them.”

Yu Zhi saw Jiang Qianchen’s lips move, and she immediately interrupted, “You don’t need to say anything more. I know everything.”

Yu Zhi took out all the screenshots of Jiang Qianchen’s “ambiguous” conversation with Vivian that she had printed, and held up the evidence in a sorrowful manner, then tremblingly said:

“Last time it was Chen Baiwei, this time it’s Vivian, who will it be next time?”

In Jiang Qianchen’s silence, Yu Zhi looked sad.

“Do you know what the Lan Ting Yuan looks like at noon? The sunlight falls on the flower beds in the courtyard outside the window, and I sit on the balcony, and butterflies will fly to the pages of my book.”

“But you don’t know. You’ve never come back during the day.” She bitterly smiled with a hint of sourness, “Sometimes, I really doubt that you are willing to meet me only to complete a predetermined task, and that anyone can replace me.”

Yu Zhi looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, her eyes facing the dazzling light in the corridor, and a crystal clear tear slowly flowed down. Her appearance was miserable yet extremely beautiful.

“If your love is an endless grassland, and I am just a insignificant speck of dust, then I am willing to let go and return all your freedom.”

After saying this line, Yu Zhi finally let out a sigh of relief.

Incredible! Her tears finally successfully came out!

God knows how long she practiced this line at home. After returning from Huacheng, she was constantly rehearsing in her mind, and luckily Jiang Qianchen was away on a business trip, giving her many opportunities to practice. This included the anger and frustration after learning about her husband’s affair again, as well as the gradual return to calmness and exhaustion after emotions settled. Especially the great spirit of being willing to let go for love and give him freedom, it required using tears full of bitterness to express the pain and heartache inside. The complex and multifaceted emotions were fully expressed in this tear, allowing the entire performance to be sublimated.

Yu Zhi stared at the brightest source of light, and her eyelashes blinked somewhat uncomfortably. Previously, she needed eye drops to help, but today she could cry just by relying on the light!

Yu Zhi felt that as long as one was not made of stone, they would be moved by her superb acting skills.

A certain part of Jiang Qianchen’s heart was indeed touched.

Just as things outside had just ended, he hurried back to Ningcheng without stopping, and upon receiving the message from Yu Zhi, he instructed the driver to drive straight to her location.

However, this cafe called “Lu Yuan” seems to have some inappropriate aspects. As soon as he entered, all eyes were focused on him, with greedy and disgusting expressions on their faces.

It seems that next time he should be the one to decide the location of the date.

Jiang Qianchen frowned as he walked to the reserved private room, and before he even saw the face of the person, he heard a thunderous cry.

Although he did not quite understand why Yu Zhi was throwing a tantrum. He never listened to other people’s complaints or meaningless whining, but today he patiently listened to all her feelings. And when Yu Zhi looked up, the eyes that were once filled with affection were now brimming with tears, the corners of her eyes dampened by the tears.

She was wearing a white dress, one that he had casually given her before, the hem reaching her ankles, making her look graceful and elegant. Yu Zhi’s back was straight, as if using the last bit of her strength to maintain her dignity, like a white lotus swaying in the wind and rain.

Resilient, pure, beautifully pristine to the point of being unable to bear destroying.

Does she like him that much?

Jiang Qianchen cleared his throat and apologized.

“I understand, from now on I will make sure to set aside time to accompany you during the day.” Jiang Qianchen quickly rearranged his schedule, pushing back some of his work.

He thought for a moment, “Or, you can arrange an outing like today.”

It seems that I need to set aside some flexible time for the weekend.

Yu Zhi stubbornly raised her chin, her neck was sore from lifting her head, and when she heard Jiang Qianchen’s response, a sense of unease immediately surged up.

Wait…what did he say? Today? A date?

Today = a date?

Yu Zhi’s brain short-circuited for a few seconds, even forgetting to do the final “wipe away tears” ending, and she barely had the energy to analyze what he said.

After all the unreasonable fuss just now, why didn’t Jiang Qianchen react at all? You’re supposed to be the domineering CEO who has been slandered and framed, shouldn’t you go along with her and divorce your troublesome wife?

What happened to the cold and heartless, never compromising for others?!!

Yu Zhi forced a joyful expression to see Jiang Qianchen more, and then covered her face with sadness. “Thank you, Jiang Gege, you don’t have to do these things for me.”

“You are who you are, you don’t have to change for anyone.”

She sincerely said, “It’s just that we’re not compatible. So, I think we still need to separate and calm down first…”

“No need.”

Jiang Qianchen rejected it briefly but firmly.

Yu Zhi almost said that he didn’t need to be so polite and evasive anymore. The man picked up a piece of paper from the ground, holding the ambiguous evidence of his relationship with “Vivian”.

“Did you come to see me today just because of what happened between me and her?”

After reading the so-called “infidelity” chat record that Yu Zhi mentioned, Jiang Qianchen withdrew his gaze. Seeing Yu Zhi nodding with tears in her eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then said:

“Isn’t this Vivian just you yourself?”
