Chapter : 01
The Rich Young Master’s Ex-Girlfriend (1)
“Xiao Guo, I’m sorry. I know the breakup has hit you hard, but… I’m really sorry.”
Leng Ziyue pressed his thin lips together, his handsome eyes filled with guilt. “You’re a good girl. I didn’t want to hurt you. I thought your goodness would be enough to make me forget her, but when she came back, I realized I couldn’t forget.”
“Qiqi agreed to be with me.”
“Xiao Guo, I really don’t want to miss her.”
The girl before him wore a simple, plain dress, her hands tightly clutching a milk tea cup, her head lowered so he couldn’t see her expression.
Her slender frame trembled slightly, as if crying over this outcome.
Leng Ziyue felt very guilty, but he had to break up. The one he loved was Lu Qi, not Tang Guo. The silence stretched too long, and he couldn’t bear her saying nothing. Remembering her chatter and bright, smiling face made him soften.
Afraid of going soft, he hurriedly pulled out a check, signed his name, and carefully slid it to Tang Guo’s hand.
“Xiao Guo, fill it in yourself. Consider this my compensation to you,” Leng Ziyue said earnestly. “I hope you can still find happiness without me.”
The girl finally looked up. Her features were delicate and clean. He had expected her face to be streaked with tears, but instead her expression was calm as she gazed at him, the corners of her mouth curving into what seemed like a smile.
Had he seen wrong?
Leng Ziyue grew very nervous, afraid she might do something drastic.
“Xiao Guo, I’m sorry.” Leng Ziyue kept apologizing. “If you need anything else, I’ll do it if I can.”
“Really, hmm?” The girl’s smile turned strange, and she even let out a laugh, her cool voice ringing out. “Really anything?”
Leng Ziyue: “…” Was Xiao Guo still not giving up, trying to win him back this way? Sorry, he wouldn’t agree.
“Didn’t you want to be a singer? I’ll find someone to help you with that later. I hope you can cheer up and get over this soon.”
She was still smiling, her laughter drawing the attention of everyone in the milk tea shop. She didn’t care at all, but Leng Ziyue vaguely felt something was off. Then she suddenly stopped smiling and fixed her gaze on him.
Leng Ziyue assumed Tang Guo couldn’t accept the breakup and was acting strangely, so his guilt deepened.
Tang Guo raised her milk tea cup, took a slow sip, and picked up the blank check with her slender fingers, blowing on it gently. Her pink lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes liftedāLeng Ziyue felt his heart tighten at the sight.
“Can I fill in whatever I want?”
“Yes.” Leng Ziyue answered quickly.
“Ohā¦”
The corners of her lips curved into an eerie arc, dazzling Leng Ziyue and making his heart pound twice. Xiao Guo really was captivating when she smiled like that.
She lifted her gaze and stretched out her pale palm. “Got a pen?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll get it for you.”
Leng Ziyue hurriedly pulled out a fountain pen, holding it out to Tang Guo with both hands as if afraid she might change her mind about signing. He even gallantly uncapped it before placing it in her hand.
Just as Tang Guo was about to fill in the number, a voice frantically screamed in her mind.
[Host, ahhhhh… calm down! Your character is breaking! You’re a cannon-fodder female supporting character. According to your character setting, you’re supposed to throw the check back in Leng Ziyue’s face, tearfully say you’re not that kind of person, and then run out crying. You haven’t turned dark yet!]
[Your dark turn happens when you see Lu Qi and Leng Ziyue all lovey-dovey, can’t take it, and try to frame Lu Qi, only to be exposed by them, leading you down the tragic path of a cannon-fodder character, waiting for your exit…]
[Wait, host, you filled in FIFTY MILLION!!]
