“wang Guangning lifted his head then iyi”

So beside aat a high-class western restaurant; the presence of the handsos of envy and hatred to momentarily rise up in other diners

The ht and attractive features The faint sirls to screahlighted his extraordinary aura, like the male lead from a Korean dra andappearanceHer lips were a fiery red, and she wore an evening gown that exposed half of her soft and silky chestIt see to happen between her and thewill you stay in B city for your business trip this tiently sipped her red wine Her lashes fluttered coquettishly, and there was a hint of ayi lowered his head and avoided Liu Subai’s alanceHe slowly pierced a piece of steak and then s this weekend”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Liu Subai’s eyes She chuckled, “Then, I wonder if Manager Zhang needs a guide for the next two days?”

Zhang Lingyi sed his piece of steak then proceeded to cut another one He still didn’t lift his gaze “I’ll be quite busy ork for those two days, so I’”

“Ah, that really is a pity——” Liu Subai could feel Zhang Lingyi’s alienation However, a wealthy and handsoive up easily Laughing quietly, she said, “Manager Zhang is young and proirls would be char of that, Zhang Lingyi, you had a girlfriend once when you were in university, right?”

In order to have yi to talk about, Liu Subai had already inquired about therecord couldn’t help but be mentioned; after all, it was too pure and clean in coround Apparently, Zhang Lingyi had only one girlfriend in the past twenty years She was his university classmate Their story sounded especially innocent, and it was said that after he broke up with his girlfriend, he had not been in a relationshi+p since Many people also explicitly stated that Zhang Lingyi was not easily tempted and was unmoved even in the face of beautiful woht That resulted in the ruyi was unable to extricate hiirlfriend and was instead resolutely waiting for her After a long tiive up in their pursuits

However, Liu Subai lived in B city which was far away, and she understood Zhang Lingyi’s situation very clearly She didn’t treat this yi was already in front of her, so it was io so easily

“Girlfriend……en, I did” Zhang Lingyi thought about Luo Zihui then sighed softly “My ex-girlfriend was very beautiful!”

“Oh, then……” Liu Subai looked at hifully, “Why did you two break up?”

“Ah, she was too outstanding I didn’t deserve her” Zhang Lingyi generously gave Luo Zihui the ‘good guy’ card

Although Luo Zihui was the one who took the initiative to break-up, it was ultihtly Her pale hand covered heris really huyi stared at Liu Subai silently He didn’t understand why she thought what he said was humorous, so he just let the corner of his lips to curve up while he kept quiet

Unwilling to give up, Liu Subai asked, “Then, I wonder what kind of person Manager Zhang likes?”

“Ah, this~” Zhang Lingyi was feeling a little irace “So, has a bit of a teer Zhang’s taste is very particular!” Liu Subai gently raised her eyebrows “A woman like this should be quite rare……”

He didn’t care whether a woman like this was rare or not

However, he once had such a person in his life

Only, that person was a er Zhang, why don’t you try out a different type?” Liu Subai lifted a brow as she shot hi Lingyi’s calf lightly with a high-heel encased foot

“Because I like an uninhibited and unrestrained life, and I ayi expressionlessly withdrew his leg He was already fed up with these social niceties

Liu Subai was a client, so he had originally thought that they were going to discuss business In the end, it was just another ploy¹ to secure a dinner date

[1] 挂羊头卖狗肉: lit to hang a sheep’s head while selling dog ; wicked deeds carried out under banner of virtue

This really did cause one to feel like they would never love again

Zhang Lingyi called over the waiter and paid the bill Immediately afterward, he said, “Miss Liu, the truth is that I already have a partner However, they² are in Taiwan and I’ for them to come back”

[2] 他: (tā) ZLY uses the male pronoun, ‘he’; but in Chinese, she and he are pronounced the sa different characters (‘she’, female pronoun: 她）

Liu Subai was stunned speechless by Zhang Lingyi’s straightforwardness

In order to give Zhang Lingyi the chance to take initiative and deliver himself to her, Liu Subai had deliberately not driven her car to the restaurant Yet, Zhang Lingyi obviously did not want this ‘opportunity’ He flagged down a taxi for her, then waved her goodbye

“That person is blessed to be able to have Manager Zhang’s favour” Liu Subai’s tone was sour when she slid into the vehicle

Zhang Lingyi only discarded thethe taxi disappear into the distance He sighed quietly, then sloalked back

The hotel where he was staying at was not far from the restaurant, so he could just use this as an exercise

The air in B city was known for being notoriously poor across the country This was especially pro ti seeh-rise buildings, they were like a stone forest

His loomier than before

In the past four years, there were , he was still able to politely reject the ing for that person greith each passing day, causing hio, he had thought that everything would end as per their agree an entire set of chaotic feelings

He knew perfectly well that it rong The enormous chasm between the difference in sex was extre

But those feelings had only intensified, rapidly swelling inside the enor, he could still bitterly suppress theer restrain his feelings that he found out the one who had kindled them had suddenly left

It was only then he realised that perhaps to wang Guangning, he wasn’t even considered a friend

Otherwise, ould he have left and disappeared to that extent?

The phone in his pocket vibrated, and Zhang Lingyi pulled it out It was still the same phone as four years prior, and the wallpaper that flashed across his screen ang Guangning’s photo The otherLingyi saw through this expression and recognised wang Guangning’s proud nature, his sht temper

Sometimes, when he stared at this photo, he would unconsciously start grinning Yet, there was also a touch of sadness in the curl of his lips

This kind of ehout the four years
