223: Chapter 223: Xu Qianli, I Still Love You!
The newcor was none other than Xu Qianli’s first love, Chu Qingyu.
The mont she stepped into the banquet hall, she beca the center of attention, with nearly everyone’s gaze falling upon her.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chu Qingyu smiled and nodded in greeting.
As she looked around, her eyes suddenly fixed on a particular spot.
To her surprise, she discovered a familiar figure in the banquet hall.
…
Xu Qianli!
Xu Qianli was also looking at Chu Qingyu, their eyes t, as if a thousand words lay unspoken in their hearts.
Quickly, Chu Qingyu shifted her gaze away as if nothing had happened, maintaining her facade while her heart churned tumultuously.
Why is he here?
How did Xu Qianli end up at this place?
Was it a coincidence, or had he intentionally co here waiting for her?
On Xu Qianli’s side, seeing that he was fixated on Chu Qingyu and ignoring everyone else, Du Rung was displeased and stepped on his foot hard.
“Snap out of it, look at you, it’s as if she’s snatched away your soul.”
“I was just asking you, is she really your first love?”
“If she is, then you’re quite lucky to have had such a top-tier beauty.”
While saying this, Du Rung kept her gaze on Chu Qingyu without wavering.
It was undeniable that the woman was stunningly beautiful, breathtaking, with facial features and an aura befitting a princess, truly captivating everyone’s attention.
Xu Qianli said, “Do you know who she is?
Do you think she and I are a good match?”
“Who is she?” Du Rung’s curiosity piqued.
“She is the beloved daughter of the top-notch Chu Family in Beijing, her grandfather is a veteran in the military, her father is the Provincial Party Secretary of a certain province, and any single mber of her family could cause an earthquake in Zhongzhou City.”
“She herself now presides over the financial empire, the Chu Group.”
Xu Qianli revealed Chu Qingyu’s identity and background in a calm and unhurried manner.
Hearing this, Du Rung was astonished.
“Wow, can she be any more dominating?
Turns out she’s a little princess from the top echelons, no wonder she has such a powerful presence.”
“Her family is powerful, her background formidable, rich and beautiful, with such a great figure, and even her bust is so much bigger than mine, two sizes larger, and she’s half a head taller than too; it’s just not fair.
How can it be that we’re both won, yet she’s like that, it’s infuriating!”
Du Rung grumbled discontentedly; she considered herself quite beautiful, but she felt she didn’t hold a candle to Chu Qingyu.
As for her earlier question about whether Chu Qingyu was Xu Qianli’s first love, she lost interest in pursuing the matter further, convinced that a woman like that couldn’t possibly have anything to do with Xu Qianli.
Even if Xu Qianli had a first love, it was surely soone else.
Who could it be?
Du Rung looked around, her eyes darting from one beautiful woman to another, quickly settling on one person to whom she pointed.
“It couldn’t be her, could it?”
Xu Qianli followed the direction of Du Rung’s pointed finger, only to see a top-tier beauty who was no less stunning than Chu Qingyu.
Not only was she beautiful, but Xu Qianli also knew her very well; she was his old classmate, Ji Xiaong.
Ji Xiaong was also looking at Xu Qianli.
Seeing that he had noticed her, she turned her face away with a huff, ignoring him.
Xu Qianli smiled faintly, certain that she was annoyed because he was there with a female companion.
Xu Qianli took Du Rung’s hand and walked unhurriedly towards Ji Xiaong, “Old classmate, how co you pretend not to see when we et?”
Seeing Xu Qianli not only bring a female companion but also holding her hand as they approached, Ji Xiaong felt even more displeased, eyeing Xu Qianli coldly from head to toe.
“Who are you, have we t before?”
“Is it because you think I’m pretty that you want to chase ?”
“Let tell you, I, Ji Xiaong, am not soone just any man can woo.”
“With soone like you, don’t even dream about it!”
Du Rung was not happy to hear this.
“What do you an ‘soone like you’?
How can you speak so rudely?
He looks alright, but your mouth is so unpleasant, ruining a perfectly good face.”
Ji Xiaong was instantly riled up, hands on her hips, glaring coldly at Du Rung, “And who are you?
I’m talking to Xu Qianli here.
Is it your place to speak?”
“Wow, you even know his na.
Just a minute ago, you were claiming not to recognize him.”
“It turns out you were just feigning ignorance out of spite.”
“Could it be that you are Xu Qianli’s ex-girlfriend?”
“No wonder you broke up, so fierce.
I think leaving you was the best decision he ever made in his life.”
Du Rung was quite energized.
She had been curious about who Xu Qianli’s ex-girlfriend was, and now she was one hundred percent sure it was the woman before her.
For a mont, Du Rung and Ji Xiaong were like fighting roosters, each finding the other’s presence unbearable, verbally sparring with each other before everyone.
Xu Qianli had no interest in getting involved in the won’s quarrel.
Seizing the opportunity, he quietly slipped away towards an exit at the back of the banquet hall, looking from afar towards Chu Qingyu’s direction.
After waiting for a while, Chu Qingyu looked around and quickly spotted Xu Qianli.
Their eyes t again.
Xu Qianli gave a signal with his eyes, then quickly moved to the back.
Xu Qianli followed the exit and continued forward until he reached the end, where he discovered a viewing platform that offered a panoramic view of half of Zhongzhou City.
Taking out a cigarette to light it, Xu Qianli smoked and waited.
He didn’t know if Chu Qingyu would co, so he just smoked while waiting.
One cigarette followed another, and soon there were seven or eight cigarette butts on the ground.
Quite a bit of ti had passed, but still, no one ca.
Just as his patience was nearly spent, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Hearing the steps, Xu Qianli’s body stiffened, too tense to even turn his head.
He was afraid that if he looked back, he would only be t with disappointnt.
The footsteps started quickly, then as they drew closer, beca more urgent.
Clearly, the person had started to run.
The next second, the footsteps reached behind him, and a softly warm body leaped onto Xu Qianli’s back, hugging him tightly.
“Xu Qianli, I’ve missed you so much, I’ve missed you terribly!”
“You jerk, you’re absolutely the worst.
I clearly told you we were over, that I wanted you out of my sight, never to appear before again, but there you go, showing up to see .
You’re truly bad to the bone!”
“I hate you, but I hate myself even more.
Why can’t I control myself, knowing there’s no chance, yet I still co to see you?”
“Do you realize how hard these years without you have been, how much I’ve suffered?”
“I thought I had completely let go, so why, why did you have to appear before again and make lose control completely?”
From behind, a voice laden with tears filled with love and bitterness spoke; who else could it be but Xu Qianli’s first love, Chu Qingyu?
Listening to Chu Qingyu’s confession, Xu Qianli felt all the grievances of these years wash away.
He grabbed Chu Qingyu’s hand and pulled her in front of him.
Without saying anything, he just kissed her red lips.
“No, we can’t.
There’s no way we could ever have a future.
You can’t kiss .”
Chu Qingyu’s words were of rejection, but her body was too honest, hugging Xu Qianli’s neck tightly, kissing him passionately.
