Chapter 29: 29

Former Girlfriend

“That’s not necessary! I can go back by myself!”

She dumped her books into her bag. Without bothering to clear the table, she clasped the bag and dashed out angrily.

Chi Zuxu threw his assistant a look. “Chase after her!”

“Understood!” His employee quickly gave chase.

Just after she dashed out of Chi Corporation, she was caught by Shi Rong. “Missy, please get into the car. Let me send you back.”

“I can go back by myself.”

She insisted but shortly after, she could not help asking him, “Who’s that girl?”

“You must be referring to Miss Lin. She is Lin Wenyu.”

“Lin Wenyu?”

This name did not sound familiar.

“She’s President Chi’s former girlfriend. She studied in Toronto as well, and returned home about a year ago. They split up around that period, too. However, I don’t know the cause of their breakup.”

Former girlfriend?

She frowned. For unknown reasons, her heart felt heavy and tight after hearing that, so much so that she almost could not breath.

“President Chi really liked her in the past but somehow, they parted their ways…” She could hear the regret in his voice.

“Does uncle still like her?” She looked up where her gaze landed on Chi Corporation’s highest storey. It was Chi Zuxu’s office.

“I’m not sure.” Shi Rong shook his head. “It is hard to fathom his thoughts usually. Besides, we have no clues to his private affairs.”

The sun rays caught her eyes, blinding her temporarily. The pain made her retrieve her gaze as she said dolefully to the assistant. “Uncle Shi Rong, can you send me back…”

She sounded crushed, compared to her mood earlier.

“Okay.”

He sent her back to her uncle’s mansion.

……

Chi Zuxu found a quiet cafe for them.

“Why did you look for me?”

His tone maintained its usual indifference, just like how he treated her since she arrived.

“Zuxu, about what happened one year ago…”

“Let the past be past! You’re not obliged to explain, and I’ve no interest to listen either.”

They broke up a year ago because the lady found a new love. She even secretly got into a lightning-marriage with that man upon returning to the country.

“I’m divorced!” she told him after a pause.

“So what?” The man continued to hold a look of uninterest. There was barely a ripple of expression as he added, “Do you think that I, Chi Zuxu, will accept a once-married woman who betrayed him before?”

His cold and cutting words hit her sore spot, as her face turned a shade paler. She opened her mouth to explain but in the end decided against it and finally muttered, “Sorry.”

“It was over, a long time ago. There’s no need for you to apologize anymore!”

He waved to a service staff. “Waiter! Bring the menu.”

After the dinner, he sent her home. It was already 9 pm.

The car stopped outside her condominium but the lady was not in a hurry to alight. She asked after some time, “Zuxu, can you do me a small favor?”

“What is it?”

“The computer at my place is not working and I couldn’t find the time to send it for repairs. Since I finally have a man with me now and one who’s a computer expert, can you help me to troubleshoot the issue please?”

He knew very well that her seemingly casual explanation was, in fact, a well-planned declaration of her newfound singlehood.

So what?

Still, he did not refuse her request. Opening the car door, he told her, “Let me take a look.”

This request is a breeze!

“Thank you.”

She hurried after him.

The man did not even bother to turn off the car, hinting that he had no desire to stay put in her apartment. She was disappointed somewhat but, quickly, she regained her composure and let him in.
